THE BLACK HEARTS
The Deck of Black, The Black Deck, or the Black Hearts, are a group of cats that built themselves around goals. They were the odd ones out when the founders were originally forming all of their groups, the ones that didn't have an idea of who they were or how they wanted to live. Because of this, they became a very united group of completely different cats, accepting of others and particularly understanding to anyone not already a part of their group. They're goal-oriented and trusting, and tend to act as a mediator between the other Decks when tensions and political issues arise. Due to them being such a diverse group, there's no super typical way they look--though their fur is often full of leaves and flowers from the forest they live in. The cats of Black tend to focus on the nature around them, appreciating the way the world works and how different animals all make up their ecosystem without them ever trying to destroy or change any of it. They're always super respectful of this nature, and find it important to live in harmony with it all, rather than use it all up or damage it. They live in the southeastern part of the Plain of Revelation, taking camp in a clearing in the forest, surrounded by dense foliage and trees, with the constant hum of other forest life surrounding them.

TRAINING
SPECIAL ROLES
The Black Deck's special role is called the Black Searchers. This role is given to cats who can hunt prey with ease, as well as detect the cause of any smell on the territory. Typically, searchers are used for when a cat goes missing in the Overgrowth Forest, or when something seems amiss among the Decks. They can find hidden clues where no one else seems to look, and always seem to know the best answers to any problem you could potentially give them, to an almost supernatural degree.
The rules of this Special Role are as follows:
1. As with every Special Role, you cannot tell anyone about the work you do besides the Face of the Deck. Due to the nature of this role, Jokers and Mirrors are allowed to know as well.
2. Every half moon, when the sun is at its highest, you must go on a patrol with your fellow Searchers and explore the Overgrowth Forest. The animals inside will lead you to the clues your peers have missed.
3. Speak with the birds and the squirrels before you kill them, ask them for guidance every hunt, and you will be blessed with luck.

PIP + CHIP TRAINING
The Black Deck teaches its pips and chips to know their limits. They need to take breaks often, and they aren't in a rush to finish their goals. They're taught patience, spending time near the entrance of the Overgrowth Forest as a form of training, just meditating. Listening to nature and the world around them, and how the world moves even without them doing anything at all.
SKILLSETS
The Black are known for their hunting skills. They're the best at knowing where to find any type of prey, whether or not they're typically on that kind of territory or not. They're excellent at hiding among foliage, as well as spotting hidden cats and animals.

CULTURE
TRADITIONS
Although there are certain traditions the Black Deck sticks to, they actually enjoy having some change in tradition every once in a while. They invite new beliefs very easily, and like trying new things whenever they can. They tend to think highly of their food and the nature around them, which is about the only thing that couldn't change about them and their way of living. Otherwise, anything else is just about fair game.
BIRTHS
After any birth happens in the Deck, there's a huge feast to celebrate the addition of life. If there's multiple pregnant cats at once, all with different due-dates, they try to make one cumulative feast near the end of when the majority of the births have happened.

This section is for any sort of relationships that a cat might have, such as family, friends, or a mate, and how they might handle each of them, including those from other Decks.
DEATHS
After a member of the Black dies, they bury their body in the Overgrowth Forest, when the sun is at its highest that day. After the burial, the Black have a fast for one week to test their limits and harden their resolve, and then a feast after, to show they're worthy of life.

The Black's Face ceremonies are done in the afternoon after the previous Full Moon, when the sun is at its highest. The Face-to-be must fast the previous day and night, and then that morning as well. Once afternoon hits, they're brought to Overgrowth Forest, where they enter alone. If they can make their way through it, they'll come out as the Face of the Black. No one knows what happens inside, and the Faces are forbidden from talking about their experiences. If the Face-to-be doesn't come out by the next afternoon, a new Face-to-be will be chosen to go into the Forest--and the cycle repeats.
