A more in-depth post about the characters and general story of my kingless AU. Since this is a very young idea, lots of stuff is bound to change.

 

Once ruled by eight clones, the card world overnight ripped its key players from their positions at the head of their state and installed them as regular citizens, ignorant to whoever they may have been prior. Though they and their environment have forgotten about the past, within both their own souls and those of their people sit disjointed fragments that hint at their previous existence. 

One of these altered inhabitants, a young Zontopian who goes by the name Brolly, finds himself disconnected from his once-beloved kingdom and has fallen into a deep despair he cannot quite explain. He seeks closeness and love, yet he’s afraid to show himself to the world. He struggles with an identity that doesn’t fit into the church’s doctrine, yet those same walls that smother him protect him from being hurt. He knows something changed a few years ago, but the answer to what’s missing seems just out of reach. The Great Zontik is involved, is all he knows—but he values his life too much to investigate such a lead.

Tired of sitting with these complicated feelings and the knowledge that his thoughts would lose him his head were Zontopia to ever unearth them, he leaves his ancestral homeland and seeks out the other states’ wisdom to find his place in life.

 

The current main characters are Zontik, Romeo, Kuromaku, Spade, Halberd, Shield, and Dante, but others may be added along the way. This AU will have mature elements, but this post will contain at most references to 18+ topics without explicit details. 

Some loose notes about the characters and their relationships below the cut.
