Introduction
Suits live excellently in these conditions. A calm and successful new world in the making. A world without poverty or gap in demographic. A nation of industrial, scientific, and medicinal prowess. All Suits found or born were taken to the Hierarchy to be marked and live in the nation.
With such a vast myriad of powers the Hierarchy organized each power under a symbol found in card suits and marked them with a scar to represent their grouping.
Suits of Hearts: Powers dealing with or affecting the mind. Scar is a Heart on the chest.
IE: telekinesis, illusion, mind control, psychic, or telepathy
Suits of Clubs: Powers dealing with physical manipulation or stimulation of the body. Scar is a Club on the feet.
IE: Super strength, speed, shapeshifting, sensory, invisibility, healing
Suits of Diamonds: Powers dealing with manipulation of the elements. Scar is a Diamond on the back of hands.
IE: Pyrokinesis, Cryokinesis, Aerokinesis, Terraforming, Aquaforming, Metalforming, Electrokinesis
Suits of Spades: Unique, almost indistinguishable powers. Scar is a spade on the back.
IE: Necromancy, Infection, Dream-walking, ect.
Using this classification system, the Hierarchy has marked all Suits in existence. Not all Suits live within the Hierarchy, but are simply marked and attempt living normal lives although these are few. Those that are within the Hierarchical Nation are ranked by number or face in addition to their suit. For example 2-4 are worker ranks. 5-7 are soldier ranks. 8-10 are elite soldier ranks or management work positions. Jacks are soldiers that have also transcended into a position of political power such as Generals. Queens are female elitist soldiers, so adept as to acquire a position of aristocracy. Kings are elitist male soldiers that are adept as to acquire a position of aristocracy. Aces are the rulers of each suit and the controllers of the Hierarchy at it's core. While these numbers and faces exist the social gap between them is almost nonexistent.
As the original human founders of the Hierarchy passed away, leaving their positions to Suits, the organization became corrupt. The new Aces seek not social equality, but rather a world dominated by Suits. Although nothing has occurred yet, the Hierarchy plans to enlist or murder any Suit that is not under their grasp. Only a few short of a full house, the Hierarchy has not a great deal to fight until nothing can impede their power. The humans will fall to the Hierarchy and be dominated by them if nothing is done. However, many Suits see issue with that.
Suits that are not currently within the Hierarchy are about to be hunted mercilessly. As a character you have the option to live within the Hierarchy, or outside of it.

OTHER RULES:
1. Medic, Sonadira, Blizzard, and SkyeBreaker (The Aces) are Co-GMs in this Roleplay. Their words carry just as much weight as mine do. What they say goes.
2. Characters WILL die. If a character is in over their head they could very well lose their life, and there are no exceptions if a GM says it occurs. However, this does not mean GMs are exempt for this rule. Aces are just as mortal as everyone else, just much greater in power. But they can die, (I still don't recommend it :P.) We have decided though that if your character perishes, IE: A jack is killed in battle, they are allowed to make a new character, so long as the new character is not a Face. New characters will need to be approved just the same. Please do NOT make a 2nd character just because you fear for yours, and do not be overly cautious of your character, play as the character would anyway. Let the story play out, even if your character must die, and you will be rewarded in some way.
3. PLACE ORGANIZATION IS KEY. Post in the area which your character is currently at. IE: A Queen in the Spire is having a conversation with a King. We can't have 16 characters posting in the same place. Feel free to move between the areas, and be sure to keep up on the events of the other places to know what's going on.

Catherine watched the group finish the last of their drills, and then gave a gesture to ask them to put the targets away. She was panting, and her arms were glistening with sweat, but she was tired in the sort of fashion that gives a good feeling. Invigorated and not exhausted or ready to quit, Cat was almost depressed that training was over. She had seen Maxus wave to Natalie, probably one of Catherine's most skilled warriors, and wondered if they had a 'thing'.
She glanced at the King beside her," How long has it been since you've sparred? Since number days?" she asked, a smile on her face but the glint in her eye suggested fire and hostility. Catherine took Tish from her back and admired the weapon in the sunlight.
Tish was a gorgeous axe, made of heavy iron and double sided, the grip long and thick, though wrapped with leather in a couple places for a varient of grips. The leather had been died a dark red, the metal of the grip very dark and dulled down, making the eye naturally turn to the glimmer of the sharp edge of each side of the axe.

There she was.
At the opposite end of the hall, Rain could see the dead girl's toes sticking out from around the corner. She could smell the blood, and did not want to go any further, but she pushed herself. She had just promised Kite she'd be stronger, and if she couldn't walk in and grab clothes, she would be breaking that promise. Still, she only edged herself closer to the corner. Peering around, she looked upon the body again. Nothing had changed, as if Rain had expected the body to be different. The eyes still looked vacantly upwards, and the blood had begun to dry around her mouth.
Watching the corpse cautiously as if it'd rise and grab her, Rain stepped over it in a tall step, then hopped the rest of herself over. Looking away, she hastily entered the girl's room, and shut the door. Rain knew that eye's see after death. She studied the room silently, and it was odd. She felt as if saying something in here would disturb something sacred, and so she kept quiet. The room could be described as ordinary for a teenage girl, and Rain recognized many of the posters and items. She couldn't help but smile and imagine what this girl must have been like. She moved to the computer, which was still on. For a second she watched the screen saver; a cute little bat fluttering back and forth, and then moved the mouse to view what she'd been doing.
The screen brightened, and the page revealed was the girl's Facebook page. Hannah Reed. Rain was about to start looking for clothes, when she noticed the girl had been in a chat. It appeared she had told the partner she heard noises, and the partner had since claimed to have called the authorities, since Hannah hadn't responded. Rain panicked for a moment. They'd be here soon, and Rain and Kite needed to leave. Rushing to the drawer, rain withdrew some of the girl's clothes, and quickly changed into them. Before leaving, she grabbed her cap and fixed it to her head. She figured the girl's Hierarchy National brand clothing would be good enough, and ran from the room. Seeing the corpse, she paused, only for a moment, but passed it quicker than before. As she turned to go down the stairs, she heard Kite call to her. She called back, panicked.
"Kite! Police..the girl was talking with someone...police notified!" She rounded the bottom of the stairs, and spotted Kite, looking handsome in his new clothes. "We should probably go...wait" Rain reached up and adjusted Kite's collar. She gave a sly grin. "There!"

The moment before training was awkward enough, she tried focusing intently on the training to push it out. To her it wasn't extremely rough, or really all to efficient anymore as her body had adapted to it a long while ago. Its one of the reasons she prefered training on her free time, to push herself further than they were required. As she found herself waiting with another Club whom had finished somewhat early they had light conversation, which was abruptly interupted by the man whom was apparently the King of Clubs waving at her with a small, getting a small laugh from her companion who she quickly jabbed.
That was at least an hour ago though, nearly everyone had left but her and a handful of tens. She was staying on the field later like she normally did, continously beating at one of the remaining targets. She knew somewhere behind her Catherine was more than likely getting ready to leave and that she and the others staying would be in charge of putting away the equipment. She wondered if the King was back there, the king. She didn't know but the thought brought out some kind of surpressed anger, she found herself punching the target harder and harder until it snapped. Something did anyways, she wasn't entirely sure if it was the target, her fist, or both but a wave of red pain washed over her. The target itself had a rough dent that upon closer inspection broke through into a fist shaped hole with jagged edges, the continous strain must have broken it.
Silently she then looked to her fist, it was bleeding and metal stuck out of it at jagged awkward angles that weren't very pretty. Trying to open it she flinched, it wasn't broken, but pretty damn strained, all her muscles felt like they were locking up as she slowly extended it, her knucles bruised badly. She calmly began walking away, grasping her wrist tightly as she headed to the clinic. She was definitely going to be steering clear of the King when she could.

" How long has it been since you've sparred? Since number days?" This was a good question for Maxus though he couldn't help but notice the fire plus hostility in the eyes of Catherine."Uhhhhhhh.... oh ya I sparred like 5 days ago with Dimitri Ivanov" He answers. This reminded him that even though he was a jack he was great at fighting. This made him wonder if Catherine would be able to take him down quickly sense her super strength was not something he could underestimate one good punch and he would have to recollect his organs.
"So then Catherine are you asking because you wish to spar with me?" Maxus asks her. He figured he could most likely beat her but only if he took her seriously in the whole sparring match. He prepared his body by strengthening his bones, increasing muscle flexibility and bone mass under his skin in his hands. Worse comes to worse he will have to fight her with her axe with his hands. He let his body adjust to the changes for the possible sparring match hopefully.While he did so he looked around and noticed a man who was walking into the training grounds looking around for somebody.

"Sounds like a plan." Catherine smirked and waited for the rest of the numbers to clear away from the training field. She side glanced and noticed Natalie, but only saw a displeasured stature and not how she coddled her hand.
"So I propose a challenge, whoever to pin the other first is the victor, not too much cutting up of one another, we do have missions to attend to throughout the day." Ms. Alest made the point of their duties and then backed away from him towards the center of the grounds. A few tens stayed to watch their higher-ups fight one another, some knowing one day they would try to take their positions themselves, though others were just curious.
Catherine smiled and assumed a defensive position.

As Rain returned down stairs she was shouting about the police coming. But instead she thought it would be best to fix his collar before fleeing the scene normally he would have scolded her but for some reason he wasn’t angry at her. ”Alright then let’s go Rain. I have an idea that will further our goals and get you a home.” Before she could object he took a hold of her wrist and led her out of the building and through the maze of the city. Luckily they had escaped the police and any suspicion that might have been cast upon the two of them. But escaping from the police was just the start of Kite’s plan. Next they had to enlist within the hierarchy.
The pair had now found themselves at the entrance of an enlistment center within the hierarchy. It was for those people who had found that they had unique powers but had not yet come into the society created by the hierarchy. Before Kite began to talk he had brought both of his hands up onto her shoulders. ”Rain we need to join the hierarchy. Trust me. Everything will be okay.” When he finished speaking he moved in close and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek. ”Remember you won’t ever be alone again.” He repeated as he pulled away.
Dropping his hands from her shoulders he let his right hand run down her left arm and take a hold of her left hand and he walked into the building. Upon entering he noticed that it was similar to the waiting room of a hospital except there was no one in the building besides a sole person at the front desk. Moving towards the front desk Kite started to open his mouth to speak but before he could the man at the front desk greeted the pair in a very welcoming and courteous tone.
”Hello you two my name is Claude. I assume you and your girlfriend are both here to be classified and ranked into the Hierarchy society. If you two would take a seat over there I will send a runner to find a Face that can interview the two of you.”

"Sparring to the extreme is a mission that is always active to a club so do not hold back." He smirked. As he placed himself a few feet away from Catherine to give both of them room to be prepared he wondered how she would go at him with her first move. When he got a good 5 feet away he looks at her "Well lets go." He then pushes off the ground without anymore warning attempting to move into her guard as quick as he can. As he got into her guard he goes to place his hands on the top of her head to shove it down into his rising knee. When he is going for Catherine's head he hopes that she will be started by his rash charge into her guard.
