✤ ┇⊰ ▪▪▪ THE STORY;;
This was a regular orphanage once. It was a lone mansion on top of a hill in the middle of nowhere and the hill was covered in clovers. It was a pretty sight to see, and inside it was just as amazing. Though it had a head director who wasn't exactly the kindest man around. He was strict and reeked of alcohol and his smile was eerie and could make anyone uncomfortable...
Then there are of course kids. Some kids quickly come as they leave, and some have been at the orphanage for most of their life and have been pretty good friends for a good majority of that time as well. As an oath of their friendship they created the Black Rose Aristocrat Club. It was all just fun and games and innocent play; but as years passed and they grew older and smarter they all saw that the head director was not the real authority of the house and became disrespectful, putting themselves in charge in protecting the other orphans. And as more time went by, they became more obsessed with power rather than a safe environment would allowand thus began to turn on each other.
During this progress, some have mysteriously vanished and even the head director and the other adult figures at the orphanage disappeared as well {I am highly suggesting they have been adopted, or so you would like to think}. After that, this place was long forgotten and it was down to just a handful of kids; eight to be exact. The current and what seems like the permanent ranks of this club; the Prince and Princess, Duke and Duchess, Count and Countess, Baron and Baroness. And then there was the lower ranks Poor and Beggar, but there was only two to fill those spots and they remained one Poor and one Beggar for a short while.
The reason why things are like this is due to the Princess. She is the true authority of this place now because she is smart and very manipulative. Somehow she finds your weak points and holds it against you, what used to be child's folk tales with a 'Stray Dog' that will eat you up if you are bad, have turned into threatening lives. There are live witnesses and proof that what she and the rest of the Aristocrats do that not even the toughest bullies would even consider. How she makes you stay is she steals a very precious item of yours and holds it against you to make you stay and keep order in this house of hers. Yes this orphanage may not be much, but they view it as their fortress and their home. For awhile there was a long pause of boredom and just a regular normal time for once.
However, now two new young adults came across this orphanage. How very unfortunate and unlucky they are. This began to stir up again once they were forced to join them and now the newcomers filled the rank of the Beggars and the other Beggar turned into a Poor rank and things began to go back to the way they were. The new Beggars have been here for a few months and don't like to be pushed around, but know this place needs to be a happy place once again they just need to convince the Poor Ones if they are willing to trust them while stay in their current and better rank. Will the new Beggars convince the Poor Ones to form an alliance to overthrow the Aristocrats? Will the Aristocrats help them as well? Or will they continue to fight for the crown?
✤ ┇⊰ ▪▪▪ THE SOCIAL CLASSES;;
The Aristocrats
The eight teenagers who’ve lived here the longest. At one point they were really close and they always took care of each other, but when more orphans started coming and saw that the Head Director wasn’t exactly an authority figure, they became disrespectful. Feeling that this was their home alone, The Aristocrats put themselves in charge of the other orphans. As time went on the Aristocrats became more concerned with power than a safe environment. They’re cruel, unstable, and lonely. Their power-hungry nature has put quite a dent in their friendship.
The Poor
They’ve lived here almost as long as the Aristocrats. As far as they’re concerned, the Aristocrats were always a mean bunch. At first they didn’t seem any more different than your typical school-yard bullies, but they’ve seen the Aristocrats do things to others that not even the toughest of bullies would consider. The Poor aren’t all that innocent though. Though they are fairly nicer, they can be cruel to each other and even to the Beggars. They have considered helping the Beggars, but they fear losing their social class and being dropped back to the Beggars.
The Beggars
They’ve only been here a few months. In that short amount of time they’ve managed to cause quite the disturbance. They’re not as cruel as the Aristocrats, but they can be aggressive. They don’t enjoy being pushed around, but they have to do what they are told to do or else its to the Basement. They’re hoping to rid this corrupt kingdom of those Aristocrats and make the orphanage a home again. However, before they can make this place a happy home, they’ll need to convince The Poor to help them.
