Author's Note: This was originally requested on the Hetalia Kink Meme. I am not going to post the original request, as it would technically be a major spoiler alert. This takes place in an omegaverse cardverse, and due to that, I have my own personal headcanons added in. Any additional information pertaining to the chapter will be written at the bottom.

Warnings: None for this chapter.

What separates man from beast is a suit. What brings them together is a nature.

Four Mother Suits descended from the heavens when the world was born. Each possessed a mission to bless mankind with, going to each corner of the world to make their marks.

Mother Heart decorated the islands she found in crimson and mahogany, pinks and creams. Resting on the many beaches, she relaxed and spread her arms wide underneath the red and pink flags, creating the most romantic scenery of all the four lands. She taught the creatures she found to love, to care for another, and to always keep their hearts open. She brought along the idea of faith, of prayer, and worship as a way to unite the Kingdom.

Mother Diamond went to the mountains, dusting the land with golds and yellows, oranges and beiges. With the most breathtaking views, her mountains and lakes flew gold and orange banners, the inhabitants being blessed by Mother Diamond's desire and passion. Live was meant to be lived pleasurably, and the wealth of the mountain ore would guarantee that anyone living in Diamonds would be taken care of.

Mother Clover sought out the tundra, bringing greenery to the area but preserving the beautiful whites of the winter in marble castles and monuments, all decorated in emerald. Forests lined the southern region, almost guarding her snowy paradise. When she looked far across the forests to see Mother Heart and Mother Diamond to her south and west, she smiled, knowing her blessing would bring about the better side to things, and that her Kingdom would surely thrive with its sister Kingdoms close by. She gave the gift of knowledge, wanting her subjects to always know what was right. She stood on the edge of where snow met forest, underneath the banner of green and silver, and announced the land to be that of dreams, where eternal happiness will surely be found.

Mother Spade was hesitant with her blessing. The land she claimed was the most varied of all of the kingdoms, with clusters of islands, mountain ridges, plains, and deserts. She unraveled her banner of blue and purple, spreading it out like a blanket upon her land. Sapphires and amethysts glittered the land in the form of beautiful lakes and mountains, rising sturdily from the earth. She stood on the coast of her land, looking out into the glorious waves of the ocean. Mother Heart and Mother Diamond seemed so far away. When she turned around, Mother Clover was far on the other side. Seeing that her land was off by itself, she knew it needed a good blessing. She gave the land power and strength, drive and determination.

When the four Mother Suits finished with their Kingdoms, they met above the world to see their work. They told one another of their blessings, one by one.

Hearts had love, tender care, and faith.

Diamonds had passion, desire, and wealth.

Clovers had happiness, dreams, and knowledge.

Spades had power, strength, and determination.

When all the Mother Suits heard the other blessings, they realised that something was very, very wrong.

"What if one Kingdom believes itself to be the best?" Mother Diamond asked the others.

"Then Spades will put them in their place." Mother Spade said.

"Clover will surpass them." Mother Clover scoffed.

"Hearts will overrule them." Mother Heart smirked.

Mother Diamond frowned. This was not a good thing at all. The four suits were supposed to be equal, all sister Kingdoms. "How about this," Mother Diamond suggested, proposing the idea for different natures among their peoples. "...it will make the Kingdoms equal." She smiled, watching the others as they all agreed. "Natures will balance out the blessings."

Natures were given to the Kingdoms in mixed numbers, the ratios of dominating natures to submissive natures directly proportional to the strength of the blessing.

There were Alphas, the strongest of the three natures.

Then there were Betas, the least affected by the nature.

Last, there were Omegas, the weakest of the natures.

Alphas Omegas would dampen the blessings so no Kingdom would be higher than the rest. The more aggressive the blessing, the more Omegas and less Alphas. The more passive the blessing, the more Alphas and less Omegas.

"The Spades aren't the strongest." Mother Spade smiled.

"The Hearts aren't the weakest." Mother Hearts nodded.

"We are equal." Mother Diamond announced, and Mother Clover nodded in agreement.

When their work with humanity was done, the four of them returned to the heavens. Whenever a child was born, the Mother Suits kept their promises to one another and assigned them a nature, depending on the population of natures already. That was how the world was to be.

Humanity was like the pawn in the Mother Suits' game of chess.
