WiP - Wild Heart!

Since I suck at writing in Japanese (I'm only beginning to recognize the symbols! xD), I hope the first letter of "yasei" is correct on Ryoku's armband... xD
(Oh, the words are ココロ の やせい btw. Hope it pops up well, Jap charas and all... xD)

Anyways, Solitaire's Ryoku and Etheram! (The picture happens to be a redraw of the lineart I got from my other two scans today... x3)
The gimmick with Etheram's scenario is that his is the Deck of Hearts (yeah, the project will be playing with that. :3).
So far, Etheram's the Queen of Hearts (laugh your hearts out. xD), Kage's the King of Diamonds (something I played off of in an AU story once, but it revolved around medieval-esque settings and gem-based countries), Yoru's the Jack of Spades(could be King as well, but hey), and whoever is delegated to spot four would be the Joker of Clubs. x3

I'm still working on the storyline, so yeah. Actually, Kaskuri in the 4th slot wouldn't be a bad idea. It'd be quite fitting, actually... xD
Anyways, Takuto's involved in Ether's scenario here. Mikage is involved in Yoru's and Lunar (Zaelestis too, maybe?) is involved in Kage's.
All are involved with Kaskuri at some point, so .

Ah, here's a small note, since you might wonder about it.
Since the initial start of the actual plot involves magic (rather, characters involved learn that magic hasn't died out, as they previously believed, and can use it if they figure out how to), Ryoku does not always have his wings present (since they exist because of it; in the main series, he unconsciously channels magic to them). Occasionally, he'll wake up with them (since his magic fluctuates as he sleeps), so there's that, but Solitaire!Ryoku is otherwise wingless half the time. Solitaire!Etheram is under the firm belief magic does not exist, and since he's viewn as all-knowing to Ryoku (wonder why lol), Ryoku doesn't gain the ability to summon his wings at will.

Oh right. The NAME! xD
"Kokoro no Yasei" aka "Wild Heart". The gimmick spreads to what Etheram decides to name the group he and Ryoku are in charge of. It's a music-based group that Takuto later joins as the guitarist (electric! xD), so yeah. :3
The other group mates would be Sukoru (Main series' Water Lord/Mistress), Sasaki (MS's Earth Lord and Sukoru's brother) and Griever (the Shadow Lord of the Solitaire series, although he leaves the group before Solitaire!Ether's story picks up due to graduating. :3).

And as I said before, Ether and Ryoku start as friends in this storyline. And yeah, Ryoku's real name was already given to Ether, but since he's known more by his nickname, by the time Ether wonders what it is, he's forgotten it. xD
Takuto, however, knows it. And he also knows the meaning of it (since Ryoku's name is in the old demonic dialect rather than in any normal language).

Expect Takuto's role in this story to shuffle around a bit, being as involved with the groups as Kaskuri comes to be. xD

Last note: There IS a group in this story that'll be called Wild Fang. Not sure what kinda group it'll be, or if it'll be delegated to Yoru's/Mikage's or Kage's groups, tho.
Mikage's would be fitting, as it'd be a combat group (with Zero, Kagetora and Rouge involved), but... (shrug) x3
