Card Rouzers

A
man inserts a card into an Artifact and pulls a
lever, running into a magical projection that
appears in front of him. A woman slides three
cards through the guard of her sword before
slamming it blade-down into the ground and
delivering a powerful, lightning-enhanced kick
to a monster. These are Card Rouzers.

In The Cards
Card Rouzers use special playing cards that contain the
essence of sealed creatures to Transform, enhance their
abilities, or unleash powerful Finishing Moves. These cards
are called Rouzer Cards, and as the name implies they use
their Artifacts to awaken the power of the creatures trapped
within the cards. It could be additional strength, faster
movement, or powerful spells.

Card Suite Warriors


Each Card Rouzer is themed after one of the four suites of a
deck of cards and their Rouze Cards also follow this trend.
They are Spade, Club, Heart, and Diamond and the armour
of these Heroes is themed as such. Spade Rouzers are
selfless to the point of gullibility, Club Rouzers are concerned
with being powerful and are usually arrogant to the point of
blindness, Heart Rouzers are rare and form close ties with
others, to the point where personal betrayals shake them to
their core, and Diamond Rouzers have a strong sense of Duty,
to the point they will chose it over their friends.

Chosen By Fate
Card Rouzers do not choose the life of an Armoured Hero,
they are chosen to live that life. If you see a Card Rouzer, it is
likely that they are destined for greatness. It is also likely they
will endure great suffering before they can triumph; Card
Rouzers are generally seen as tragic figures who end up
sacrificing or losing everything to achieve their Goals. Pity a
Card Rouzer if you come across one, and rue the day they
become your foe or friend.
