Despite our tendency to lurk, Bast and I cannot spend every hour on Keys to the Kingdom—though we certainly would love to do so; moreover, we fail at noticing the obvious. Therefore, we humbly request that members post a link to their finished application and wait for us to stop being lazy human beings.

TAKE NOTE!

We are generally fairly laidback, but due to the powers associated with the Kings and the unknown strength of the Strains, we might morph into nitpicky demons. We request that you humor us and realize that we only want everyone to enjoy themselves here.

Thank you.

COLORLESS CLAN

AZAR LUSKI ♔ THE OBSIDIAN WRAITH

From the beginning, the Colorless Clan proved different. They remained enigmatic in the face of the other clans, whom revealed their abilities with little prompting, and unlike the other clans, the Colorless Clan did not have an associated color. Many mistook their aura to be a white hue, faint and barely perceivable; however, the Colorless Clan represents the absence of color, resulting in an invisible rife between the Colorless Clan and the other clans. The original Colorless King decided that the Colorless Clan would guard their secrets with their lives, translating into a complete lack of knowledge regarding the Colorless Clan’s capabilities.

Stories have been passed down regarding an individual that can view brief glimpses of the future and of a man that can possess others, losing a piece of himself with each new host. Yet with the loss of the Colorless Clan from history, the public did not associate these acts with the Clan. They did not realize that the Colorless Clan resembled a constant and continuous gamble with fate. Each generation marked the beginning of a new era amongst the Colorless Clan members. The various Kings brought new powers and new ideals to the table.

And the current King is invested in the darker side of life, preferring to watch as people writhe in pain and to listen to the chilling screams of the condemned. His entire clan consists of former prisoners, and he boasts of an ability that allows him to glimpse the past, translating into a broader knowledge base than many people realize. The Colorless Clan is dangerous and unpredictable; they are the true Wild Card amongst the stability and comfort of the other clans.

With the induction of the newest Colorless King, the role of the Colorless Clan has changed. Their purpose in life is dictated by the beliefs and goals of their King, so they have no laws or orders that each generation must follow. No, they remain unpredictable and dangerous. People never know when they can trust the Colorless Clan. The members of the elusive clan are constantly plotting, reaching toward an unspecified goal and causing mayhem in their wake. No one trusts the quirky Colorless Clansmen, believing that only danger and devastation will follow them. In many cases, those beliefs are valid.

Moreover, the Colorless Clan has become a rumor spread through the nobility—a fairytale that lacks credence. Many of the aristocracy believe in the Silver Clan, the other forgotten clan, but no one could dream of the Colorless Clan being real. However, the Colorless Clan does exist. In the current generation, the Colorless Clan is also the worst nightmare of the Radugan Kingdom due to each Clansmen being a former prisoner. The King’s goal would be to erase his boredom by stirring up trouble and arousing suspicion within the upper class. In other words, the clan exists to murder and to steal, to loot and to kill.

With no historical or religious importance, the island of Fehér receives little foot traffic and remains shrouded in mystery, and the residents of the Raduga Kingdom utilize the island for medicinal supplies and food. They cannot fathom the reason behind the spooky, mysterious island. It seems unnatural to them—a locale that few dare to venture into. Many have forgotten the abandoned prison that is hidden amongst the dense foliage though they are aware of the carnivorous monsters and imposing cliffs that exist upon the island. To traverse upon Fehér would be similar to signing their own death warrant, translating into a lack of appeal to the public and the perfect headquarters for the Colorless Clan.

GREEN CLAN

RESERVED ♔ TITLE

With the crackle of electricity, the Green Clan could strike. Their aura resembled the highly unpredictable lightning that flashed through the stormy clouds during a storm, and the populace respected them for their seemingly godly ability. The citizens were blinded by the property of the clan’s aura, realizing and deferring to the might of electricity. They were able to see the affects of the Green Clan’s power even if they did not act due to their familiarity with thunderstorms. Everyone believed that the Green Clan had been blessed due to the inherent characteristic of the green hued aura.

However, the Green Clan strove to be innovative and free. Their power was not locked into the electric consistency of their aura. No, they could alter their own molecular composition, allowing them to shape shift, so they were no longer trapped by the petty imaginations of the powerless. The Green Clan could push their own boundaries by temporarily altering their composition, and if observing their ability from a combat perspective, they were the perfect spies—the assassins kept in the wings for the crucial moment.

From the beginning, the Green Clan guarded their secrets with jealousy coloring their vision and with ideas racing through their minds, and in their opinion, the world did not revolve around laws or the enforcement of policies. No, they believed in creative innovations, knowing that the world would advance through their intelligence and ingenious ideas. It was never a matter of finding a niche within the council for them. They merely wanted the opportunity to implement their more revolutionary ideas without dealing with the red tape associated in following the proper channels.

To many, the Green Clan represents an ideal of freedom. They do not shepherd themselves into the conventional stereotypes, and they constantly search and attempt to break the known boundaries. Many attribute the creation of the walled cities to the creativity of the Green Clan, praising them for the creation of their seemingly safe and indestructible kingdom. The Green Clan proved to be the inventor—the creative mind behind the operations implemented by the crown.

As the center of commercial success, Zöld gained a formidable reputation. Artists and blacksmiths, poets and metal workers, writers and merchants traveled to the city, hoping to break the mold and become a turning point in the history of Raduga. People flocked to the seaside city due to the innovations that appeared overnight, and despite its rustic atmosphere, the citizens herald the city as the future, believing that their solutions would appear from the depths of the Green Clan’s chosen domain. No one doubted the possibilities that existed within the city. It was a miraculous place were ideas became reality.
