Outline seems solid to me. I need to do one for my own set. I have the flavor down, but not the set outline.
I assume this will be a bottom-up designed for flavor?

Thank you! if you want any help with your outline, I'm more than happy to contribute, I really like the formula i used up here feel free to take all you want from it.
As for the design, definitely bottom up designed for mechanics, but the mechanics are supposed to be tie into the flavour. Its definitely more important for me that the mechanics be solid and
interact well and then the flavour comes second.
Speaking of which, do you have any mechanis or flavour suggestions?
Im looking for each faction to have 1 or 2 specific mechanics/keywords, kind of like guilds in RTR or Khans.

I'll need some example cards or, if you have basic flavor details, I can expand from there. I'm definitely more Top->Bottom guy, flavor is my thing (hopefully)

Faction Themes: Bug (Kalari): A nation of necromancers and undead servants, use zombies to fight. Think Sultai or amohnket. So. Nero, Host of the SwarmA mighty military commander, Nero is infamous for selling his soul to get a body with the armor and accents of a beetle. He is utterly ruthless, and his rise to power followed a series of "accidents" and he hasn't been challenged since. In addition to being the supreme military commander (and thus leader of) of the Kalari, he heads up the Order of Cimex. A group of religious fanatics who pray to the Goddess Cimex and are blessed with her insect powers. Conversion like Nero's is something only the most fanatical of the Order undergo.

DUDE!! THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!! You just came up with that on the spot?! Yes, I can make the BUG shard about insects and shit too. I like it. So now I'll design a card to fit his look and theme. Thoughts? I'm not entirely sure what I want him to do yet but i definitely liek what you came up with . Attachment DeletedEDIT: I have since changed my factions colours based on a conversation with my friends. this is finalized now i wont change them again. I decided to pick a specific playstyle/mechanic I wanted each faction to operate with and then picked color pairings to match. Sadly despite it being my favourite wedge, no room for BUG.

Sorry, didn't see a reply. I'll take a look at it later. I found the picture (obviously), but yes, made the flavor up on the spot.

Credit: Anne Stokes Vishu, the Mighty
While Vishu is not the leader of the Drakman, in many ways he ought to be. Considered one of the most powerful, fiercest of dragons to roam the skies, his battle prowess is uncontested and he reigns over a massive hoard of conquest. His dominance holds sway over 100 square miles of land to the west of his mountain roost. Legend has it that Vishu killed his own mother upon coming of age, to ensure that she could not breed again and produce any other offspring that might have risen to challenge him. In spite of his fearsome reputation, Vishu has a deep and abiding love for music. It is not unknown for him to capture wandering bards and other musicians. He prefers women, but will take men if he's truly bored and there are no other palatable options. The women usually live to survive the encounter, the men do not. Credit: Andre Bdois Drazman, Speaker of Whispers
Very few know that Vishu and Drazman are one in the same. However, they have a number of similarities that lie open to any casual observer. First and foremost, they both seem to be ageless. Though Drazman certainly looks ancient, there's no one alive who can remember a time when he was anything but old. He could be a hundred years old or a thousand. The truth of his age, however, remains an unknown fact. Drazman guards his secrets well. Like his true form counterpart, Drazman seeks power. He has an impressive tower beside the mountains that house his lair. Within are numerous acolytes and other students. Some help him with experiments, others are experimented on. He has conducted such research as benign as a modest boost in someone's strength and musculature, and research as drastic and dangerous as exploring how to give powerful humans the ability to assume an even more powerful, half-human, half-dragon form.

Damn this is good! I really want to use your idea for BUG too! Im gonna switch things up again so i can include BUG again. Im still keeping the dragon stuff but something else will have to get switched around tho so hold up as I figure it out. I really appreciate what you've done so far. Im working on Rwb Vampires right now. Mechanics are: Weapons, weenies, first strike, sacrifice, control, taxing, tokens, -x/-x, life matters
create a 1/1 black Bat creature token with flying.
I think working on too many all at once was a bad idea cus i keep running into stumbling blocks and then re-figuring out how i want things to go. I think if i focus on one faction at a time I can actually finish without problems so Ill do these guys first since they will be more linear than the other concepts.
