#42 - Cameron Lloyd, Faculty of Law (Character played by C. D.)
Club or Secret Society: Order of the Crescent Moon Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Law - Order of the Crescent Moon - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Photographers from all over the world would sacrifice an arm and a leg for the chance to portray Lloyd and what BBC reporters have dubbed their ‘decadent allure’. Their nudes on London Bridge have caused a stir, according to the tabloids, alongside gossip about Lloyd’s booze - and drug- crazed parties.
Lloyd embraces all this wholeheartedly. They want to live in the infinite moment of a click. But, when the camera goes off, there remains a sense of emptiness that they must fill at all costs. A side they never show to anyone. And in those moments it's easy for them to find themselves in the malicious - but successful - definition by The Sun, which calls Lloyd 'the sick beauty'. Lloyd really does feel the sickness inside them, but not in the fashionable and cool way it is described in the newspapers. Their illness is made of sadness, dissatisfaction and inner void. Nobody else can be allowed to catch a glimpse of Lloyd’s emptiness, because how could anyone fall in love with that desperate weakness, nowhere to be seen in the glamorous pictures? Brick by brick, picture by picture, Lloyd has constructed a carefully managed facade which attracts fans, photographers, students and even professors.
Lloyd wants their success to last forever, to constantly raise the bar, because they are afraid that if it all ended, only an unbridgeable chasm would remain. And even inside the Devington University, they want everything they have on the outside. To be a star.

Order of the Crescent Moon
The Order of the Crescent Moon gathers young people with a strong sense of morality, the modern knights, the strictest ones, those who see to it that the rules are respected and enforced. One cannot be just if one does not also try to make others just. Inspired by the ancient knights, they are characterised by militaristic and camaraderie rituals: whoever harms one, harms them all. Whoever does not intervene to uphold the law, is admonished. Whoever disturbs the order, is punished. In their meetings, they whisper of swords and ancient legends of mysterious Britannia.Relations: S. O'Donnell picked on you during a party. It hit you very hard, while for O'Donnell it was nothing more than a joke. You confided this to the rest of the Order and O'Donnell went on trial. Their judgment: condemnation and humiliation.
A. Hamilton helped you get a good grade in the rhetoric mid-term, and from that moment a friendship was born.
You share a friendship with V. Roger and T. Saint-John Talbot, with whom you swan around the school in the coolest manner. You like to call yourselves Coterie, a trusty and exclusive little group whose main activities are: bragging, throwing parties, and mocking the school losers. Owen, E. Shaw, A. Bates, B. Henton, D. Baker, R. Moore are among your regular targets.
You have a sexual relationship with S. Bromfield, paved with the wildest excesses. It makes you feel good and important, because Bromfield is part of the royal family and the tabloids follow you like bees to honey.
#31 - Helen Mason, Faculty of Law (Character played by K. S.)
Club or Secret Society: Metamorphosis Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Law - Metamorphosis - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: The greatest challenge to Mason, a rising star at Devington, is coming to terms with the death by suicide of their older brother Paul. As children the two siblings were inseparable, twin souls complementing the strengths and short-comings of each other. When Mason received the letter of admission from Devington, it was as such the anticipation of following in Paul’s footsteps that sparked the most excitement. With stuffed luggage at home and a driver waiting outside to leave for campus, the news came that Paul had killed himself. From that very moment, tortured by implacable pain and remorse, two different identities seized hold of Mason’s mind. There is now the old Mason; a fun-loving prankster, ever sociable, witty, drawn to parties and crowds. But there is also the legacy of a lost brother, manifesting through harsh solemnity, decadence and self-destructive tendencies. On the one hand, Mason wants to embrace their own identity, unique and detached from the traumatic memories of Paul. On the other hand, Mason feels a burden of responsibility to carry on Paul’s story, even to the point of emulating the brother’s attitudes, habits and mannerisms. These conflicting identities leave Mason vulnerable to bipolar episodes, shifting back and forth in a frantic wrestle, trying to live not one, but two lives at once.

Metamorphosis
The Metamorphosis are a group related to the cult of Dionysus and Bacchus, to pleasures taken to the extreme, and to change. They push themselves to excess, thus seeking to touch higher peaks of knowledge and understanding, as well as pleasure. They are tied to nature, feelings, sexuality, personal growth and animality: in fact, it is said that each member is associated with a beast, and can only leave it behind when they have reached the highest evolution of themselves. On the night of their initiation, you might hear the group members howling, or meowing, or who knows?Relations: F. Fisher and T. Gloves are to blame for not preventing your brother's death - it's because of them that the syringe Paul used to take his own life had fallen into his hands. But above all you blame C. Preston, who should have been his mentor.
You and O. Britton are inseparable, you share a deep bond.
You cherish the moments after the choir practice with S. Bromfield. You can have fun and chat with class and wit. With them, you feel free to express yourself.
L. Gibbs read tarot cards for you once, and in doing so mentioned your brother. The event shook you, and you do not know how you should conduct yourself towards them. Do they really have a mystical insight, or do they lie? What do they know about your life?
M. Scott wrote an article about Paul, in your first year at Devington. You didn't take it well, and you had a fight in the yard.
Normally I. Crooks scares you, but when you are in Metamorphosis everything changes: Crooks suddenly appears to you as someone deeply fascinating.
#32 - Ira Crooks, Faculty of Law (Character played by S. L.)
Club or Secret Society: Metamorphosis Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Law - Metamorphosis - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Rarely able to stand still for longer than ten seconds, Crooks is not a student who keeps orderly files of notes from lectures, or someone who hunches over the pages of a book reading chapter after chapter on end. Crooks is a whirlwind, constantly thrashing about and expressing most of their emotions through physical gestures, rather than long-winded conversations. Many students are intimidated by Crooks, whose aura of ferocity and powerful, pent-up energy sends shivers through whatever object or person unfortunate enough to stand in their way. Despite having belaboured their gruff, threatening facade to the point of exhaustion, in an effort to appear untouchable, the depth of Crooks’ character and the movement of their heart is evident for all to see. Behind a mask of cruelty and aggressive gestures a sensitive soul is in desperate search for affirmation. Crooks is very private as a person and carefully selects who they will let close to their skin. Few people know, for example, that Crooks’ father is involved with the ministerial processes that divide the Gifted from the Donors.

You frighten H. Mason. But when you are in Metamorphosis, they suddenly seems to find attractive your furious way of losing control .
A. Owen has an obsession with the idea of saving you. You cannot stand this behaviour.
J. Bennet is always watching you, following you, admiring you, even using you as poetic inspiration. As soon as you realised this, you became very intimidated.
D. Baker does not seem afraid of you, unlike the others. They tried to approach you with sarcasm, but it did not work very well. You were left, however, with the niggling feeling that Baker might actually be a kindred spirit, and you regret not having explored the possibility.
#33 - Douglas Maddock, Faculty of Law (Character played by P. D.)
Club or Secret Society: Bloomsbury Group Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Law - Bloomsbury Group - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: B&B - this character sleeps in the B&B, in the quintuple room B, paying 55€ extra
Teaser: The smile, white and candid as sugar cubes dissolved in absinthe, is the primary weapon to deploy in public. It is indispensable to keep up appearances, which is the only thing that really matters. With a carefully managed smile, you can seem perfect in the eyes of others, unassailable on every front. It will seduce them into liking you and, as they lower their guard, you will have the opportunity to advance your goals. Without anybody’s notice, you can manipulate them one after another. Maddock knows well the power of the smile, and uses it frequently to extract advantages, favours and occasionally pleasures from their fellow students. Their reason is clear, to enter the circle of the Gifted. Maddock wants at any costs to become one of the chosen few, and to enjoy all the privilege that comes with it. To achieve this goal, Maddock will use any means necessary to eliminate potential rivals or challengers. Self-assured of succeeding in their ambitions, Maddock will treat their body as they treat others - with contempt and disregard. Drugs, alcohol, sensory overindulgence, anything goes. The Gifted can replace a body if necessary. And so, when others say that the body is a sacred temple, Maddock begs to differ; the body is a savage bacchanal. The only thing sacred is the smile.

Bloomsbury Group
This is the literature club, inspired by the historical group of which Virginia Woolf, among others, was a member. Its adherents are also editors of the school newspaper, the well-known 'Bloomsbury', famous for its sharp, ironic and biting remarks, always signed in the name of the editorial board, in order to protect the freedom of expression and the identity of its members. The Bloomsbury is always looking for sensational news and scandals: nothing matters more than truth and expressive liberty.Relations: R. Powell hangs onto your every word and seems to want to fulfil all your desires. A valuable resource.
You are doing a fine job of staying on the good side of G. McKinstry, head of the editorial staff. There is a mixture of rivalry and mutual respect between you.
O. Britton seems to have put themself in your hands. They are evidently looking for something and seem to have found it in you. You agree: surely you can do something for Britton, but above all there is a lot Britton can do for you.
A. Hamilton has seen through your charade. They are a dangerous person, you might even need to fight them.
#35 - Opal Britton, Faculty of Law (Character played by L. D.)
Club or Secret Society: The Unknown Dreamers Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Law - The Unknown Dreamers - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: From the moment they set foot in the halls of Devington, Britton has met each and every requisite for perfection. They are enterprising, diligent, elegant and hail from a distinguished family background. Like a statue of polished marble, Britton fits the mold of an exemplary Devington student. Unfortunately, during their stay on campus, Britton received news that their entire family had perished in a tragic accident. On the surface, this does not seem to affect Britton in the slightest. As the last living heir, they maintain impeccable character, showing no signs of weakness. However, beneath the shining veneer, Britton can sense cracks within. Suffocated by the demands of their apparent perfection, Britton yearns for a space where they can freely express authentic emotions, where they can be allowed to grieve and to breathe. Rather than give in to these impulses, Britton tries to deflect attention by being hypercritical, both internally and towards others. The only time Britton feels at peace is when they are not in control. When someone else gives them commands to follow. Because Britton will never admit to this urge for submission in public, it is something which they can only indulge in the safety of their secret society.

The Unknown Dreamers
The art club brings together the free spirits, the bohemians, the restless souls who want to give free rein to their creative expression. The Dreamers worship art: art for provocation, art for scandal, art for its own sake. As is the custom of the club, every year, on the first and last day of class, the Dreamers secretly perform a scandalous and sensational work of art, which is then put on display in front of the entire school. Some call their work immoral, indecent or even obscene, but despite this, the teachers have always shown a certain leniency. After all, this too is a Devington tradition.Relations: D. Jennings mentors you, and strives to bring out your true form. They seem to have the ability to mould you.
You and H. Mason are always together, as if you were one being. You trust them blindly.
D. Maddock is always around you and seems to want to help you. You look for ways to return the kindness.
K. Dudley seems to care about you, but you can't help but notice all their flaws.
#37 - Karen Dudley, Faculty of Law (Character played by L. P.)
Club or Secret Society: Pudding Club Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Law - Pudding Club - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: B&B - this character sleeps in the B&B, in the quadruple room C, paying 55€ extra
Teaser: Dudley has a personality that demands attention. Somewhat 'know-it-all', always on display, rarely silent or in the background, they ensure that their voice is heard in all situations. To the increasing frustration of those who find their behaviour obnoxious, they also have a tendency to be right. Their personality can be described as wise, intelligent, bright, decisive, with a strict work ethic. They often have an aura of tension around them, the first vague sign of nervous exhaustion - nothing to be surprised by, when one pushes forward at their pace and stretches one's mind and soul so far.
They sometimes give the impression of not being completely loyal when giving advice to others or trying to help them. They tend to be afraid that someone else will achieve better results than them, and that the only things they excel at - studying and thriving at Devington - will be taken away from them. That is why they work themself to the brink of burnout, with great focus and diligence, and also a certain jealousy towards the successes of others.

Pudding club
Blood matters. And it matters more than ever. Only scions of the best families can join the Pudding Club. This ancient club brings together the elite, the young scions of noble birth, and has always welcomed the descendants of Cavendish himself. The name of the club originated in the early years after the founding of the University, when the food in the dining hall was not very satisfactory, and wealthy students had their lunch delivered from the village pub. Specifically, pudding. Times have changed since then, but the custom has remained. Members of the Pudding Club still retain many privileges, including being the first to help themselves at the table with the famous dish that gives them their name.Relations: You have a special relationship with Howard, a mixture of admiration and competition, ever since you won the Silver Spoon of the Pudding Club.
You really care about helping O. Britton get back on track, but Britton seems to constantly expose your flaws in a brutal manner.
A. Hamilton amuses themself by continually trying to undermine your opinions, and you bicker constantly. But you are the one who is right.
You are always in the company of W. Hutton-Finch: you care for each other very much, you support and encourage each other.
#36 - Alexander Hamilton, Faculty of Law (Character played by O. H.)
Club or Secret Society: The Unknown Dreamers Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Law - The Unknown Dreamers - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: The hunger with which rhetorical conflict is sought after, the contrarian irreverence and triumphant joy when the argument of an adversary breaks down, makes one wonder how long it will take until the forehead of Hamilton starts growing horns. Always the devil’s advocate, during their second year Hamilton arranged a banquet under the headline: "Cavendish only cared about the rich. Prove me wrong." The controversy fizzled out, however, as the professors and faculty members figured that it was just another one of Hamilton’s rhetoric projects. According to Hamilton, there is no pleasure greater than the act of uprooting a popular belief, or defending the most contentious positions. The more discomfort or agitation Hamilton can stir up with their arguments, the better. Or why not, like the philosophers of old, make a point of revealing the absurdity of the current societal paradigm using logic and reason? Nothing in life could be better. Hamilton studies law because they can see themself defending the indefensible. The court, just like Devington, is just another playground to show off your speechcraft after all.

You helped C. Lloyd during the mid-term of Rhetoric and since then you have become friends.

#38 - John Howard, Faculty of Law (Character played by C. C.)
Club or Secret Society: Pudding Club Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Law - Pudding Club - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: B&B - this character sleeps in the B&B, in the quintuple room A, paying 55€ extra
Teaser: With the Attorney General for a mother and the 17th Duke of Norfolk for a father, it was no great surprise that Howard received a gift from Her Majesty the Queen on their 18th birthday, lavishly celebrated amid pomp and circumstance at Arundel Castle. Unlike some students of noble pedigree at Devington, Howard does nothing to hide their heritage or privilege. On the contrary, classism and elitism runs thick through their veins. Whether at lectures or attending some exclusive event with the Pudding Club, Howard carries an air of offhand superiority and confidence due to their perceived elevation above the plebeian rabble at Devington. Occasionally this confidence is shaken, however, when Howard feels that they are not treated with the respect and devotion their position deserves. In these situations, Howard can resort to petty bullying, consumed by anger and indignation. Their self-absorbed desire for attention and disregard for those considered inferior is reminiscent of King Louis XV:s famous attitude: “Aprés moi, la déluge”.

Members of the Pudding Club still retain many privileges, including being the first to help themselves at the table with the famous dish that gives them their name.Relations: Ever since K. Dudley won the Silver Spoon of the Pudding Club you have a complicated relationship, a mixture of admiration and competition.
You love having R. Powell around, you love that they are your shadow and that you share a special friendship. You therefore feel bitter annoyance at his association with D. Baker, a delinquent low-life who does not deserve to be at Devington.
W. Hutton-Finch is a lovely person, but it bothers you that they don't give you enough attention.
P. Wingrove is always hovering around you, which obviously pleases you greatly.
The noble Cavendish and Howard families are very close, and when you were children you used to spend a lot of time with each other. You had a clash of personalities with M. Cavendish, and on a couple of social occasions they tried to humiliate you in public. Even at Devington they do not give you the respect you deserve. You have, however, reconnected with P. Cavendish.
V. Poole played a mean trick on you - they cannot and should not get away with it.
#39 - Wallace Hutton-Finch, Faculty of Law (Character played by L. B.)
Club or Secret Society: Order of the Crescent Moon Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Law - Order of the Crescent Moon - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: In terms of grand life decisions, Hutton-Finch made none of them. It was all decided by the family, before they were even born. First it was off to Harrow Boarding School, the finest institute for children of high birth. Then law school at Devington University, of course, where it was only natural that Hutton-Finch should join the Order of the Crescent Moon, like their father and mother both. This is the recipe for success. This is how to properly raise another progeny of the family conglomerate. And so life drifted on before their eyes, with nascent dreams of theatre or artistry slipping away, like a passing landscape through the window of a train. Any regrets they might harbour are imperceptible to others, as Hutton-Finch effortlessly invites company through their vibrant charm, idealism and compassionate nature. It seems that Hutton-FInch obliges any request, bearing any burdens with a stoic nod. They are the bright and welcoming flame that draws you ever closer to them. And as the moth is enthralled by the cheerful flicker of the flame, you are lost in the warmth of Hutton-Finch’s kindness. The moth does not recognize its own fragility, nor the fragility of the fire. At any moment either could be consumed, gasp for air, and die.

Order of the Crescent Moon
The Order of the Crescent Moon gathers young people with a strong sense of morality, the modern knights, the strictest ones, those who see to it that the rules are respected and enforced. One cannot be just if one does not also try to make others just. Inspired by the ancient knights, they are characterised by militaristic and camaraderie rituals: whoever harms one, harms them all. Whoever does not intervene to uphold the law, is admonished. Whoever disturbs the order, is punished. In their meetings, they whisper of swords and ancient legends of mysterious Britannia.Relations: B. Henton, W. Hutton-Finch, V. Poole and J. Bennett attended the same boarding school before Devington. It is not easy to keep friendships alive if you do not share interests and attend different classes. Henton and you used to confide in one another, and that relationship has been somewhat lost - but it's also time you learn to stand on your own feed. Besides, you have many, too many things to think about.
You care deeply about V. Poole, but when you refused to join their secret society they did not take it well. They know you inside out, but the friendship of yesteryear has cooled, in spite of your wishes.
J. Howard has taken a liking to you, and despite their classism you like their wit and energy. Unfortunately you struggle to be as attentive as Howard would like; you want to be a good friend to them but they are not making it easy.
You share a close friendship with K. Dudley, who always pushes you to excellence.
P. Campbell is a wonderful person, you get along very well.

Teaser: “Justice is truth in action.” These words of Benjamin Disraeli, two times British prime-minister, is a proverb that guides Gray’s direction in life. Gray wants to join the circle of the Gifted and serve as a righteous leader who improves society, all in accordance with the principles of justice. Gray can feel the weight of responsibility resting on their shoulders and detests students who treat their time at Devington as some kind of game. Especially the ones who have had all the opportunities to excel, but squander their talent due to lazy negligence. In every decision, Gray strives to make the world better, but sometimes the world seems doomed to fail no matter what - regardless of how hard they try. At every corner, the scions of justice are thwarted by misdeeds of the corrupt. Gray’s only solution is to double their effort, to work even harder. Over the course of days, months and years this stress and performance anxiety are pushing Gray closer to the limit. They are carrying the future of the world on their shoulders, and there is the constant, looming threat of collapse.

Club or Secret Society: Order of the Crescent Moon Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Law - Order of the Crescent Moon - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: When you have two famous and successful parents to set an example and shape your personality, you have a duty to live up to expectations and rise above your peers. That's precisely V. Rogers: popular, fashionable, snooty, superior and unpleasant to all the losers at Devington. They love to judge others, especially because they feel they are above all judgement; appearance is everything and their public image, painstakingly constructed in their teenage years, is nothing short of impeccable.
They look down on everyone, to some they reserve blatant contempt, to others cautious approval, for most there is only an impatient lack of interest.
Roger appears untouchable at Devington, but it was not always the case; behind their mean attitudes and inscrutable gaze lie scars and suffering. They themself have experienced no pity, affection or understanding, and they hold none for others.

You value the guidance of Prof. R. Dixon when it comes to your athletic performance.

Club or Secret Society: Les lumières Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Law - Les lumières - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Despite belonging to a noble family who are bound to the ancient traditions, Saint-John Talbot feels the need to assert themselves. Never the authoritarian sort, always the submissive introvert, they feel like they've been advancing primarily due to their heritage and family name. They have always struggled to prove their talents, but have never managed to emerge, and feels they have achieved everything in life solely because of their name.
However, their time at Devington was the beginning of a journey of self-assertion. Not only dreaming about standing out, but perhaps even trying to push themselves into the scandal, and risk losing their family and their heritage. It began with refusing admission to the Pudding Club, even though that would have been their birthright. Their first goal now is no longer to please their parents, but to understand who they really are. And then, a thought is starting slowly creeping into their minds: What if they were to join the ranks of the Donors voluntarily, to prove that they are not invisible? After all, if they died, someone would miss them. Surely someone would finally care?

Les lumières
They are a secret society inspired by the myth of the cave, Plato, the Enlightenment, the Socratic method. Centred on the cult of reason, on investigation, on science, they subject themselves to tests and interrogations to get to knowledge, and to know themselves. They move in the darkness to come to see the light, and support themselves as a family in the process. They never lie. Lies and deception are not contemplated, to arrive at the Truth. They oppose all forms of mystification and, if they can, expose lies and deceptions.Relations: Your parents are among the school's sponsors. Your father is often at Devington to discuss financial matters. The other benefactors are the Cavendishes, parents of and and F. Sullivan.
You are part of a popular student group, headed by V. Roger and with C. Lloyd. You like to call yourselves Coterie, a tight and exclusive little group whose main activities are: bragging, throwing parties, and mocking the school losers. Owen, E. Shaw, A. Bates, B. Henton, D. Baker, R. Moore are among your regular targets. To tell the truth, you are not so enthusiastic about it. In fact, you feel rather embarrassed about picking on others. But that's what your group does, and so far you have never objected.
R. Mace has a curious attitude towards you.
You used to be close friends with P. Campbell and you would like to rebuild this bond, but it seems that Campbell does not feel the same way. You do not understand why and you keep on insisting.
#45 - Patrick Campbell, Faculty of Law (character available)
Club or Secret Society: Les lumières Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Law - Les lumières - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: If you are exposed to the company of liars for long enough, to their false smiles and sickening ulterior motives, you will eventually be unable to stand them. Like the vile stench of a covered-up murder, their lies infect and contaminate all of their actions. At least this is how Campbell feels about liars in the world. They study law so as to expose the criminals, the corrupt and the vainglorious. Perhaps this is the reason why Campbell holds photography in such high regard: The snapshots depict reality, portraying events that have occurred and from which you cannot hide. Regardless of the sophistication with which liars weave their webs of deceit, the visual medium will expose them. It is no secret that Campbell views the world cynically, expecting a hidden dagger behind every good deed. They are not usually interested in the affairs of others, unless it concerns them or their loved ones. If someone tries to hurt them, however, Campbell’s cynical nature and passion for investigation means these students can end up biting off more than they can chew. At Devington, more than a few have come to know the glare of Campbell’s watchful eye, though some have surprisingly made Campbell question their cynicism - if only a little.

Les lumières
They are a secret society inspired by the myth of the cave, Plato, the Enlightenment, the Socratic method. Centred on the cult of reason, on investigation, on science, they subject themselves to tests and interrogations to get to knowledge, and to know themselves. They move in the darkness to come to see the light, and support themselves as a family in the process. They never lie. Lies and deception are not contemplated, to arrive at the Truth. They oppose all forms of mystification and, if they can, expose lies and deceptions.Relations: You have formed a deep friendship with W. Hutton-Finch. This makes you happy and warms your heart, but often rekindles your old fears, making you wonder: can you really trust them?
It certainly seems that E. Howton is targeting you.
Saint-John Talbot insists on rebuilding your former friendship. But you don't know if you can trust them.

#44 - Ada Owen, Faculty of Law (Character played by N. R.)
Club or Secret Society: Les lumières Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Law - Les lumières - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: There is nothing in the world more just and honest than caring for others. This is what Owen thinks, covering up their insecurities and filling the void in their soul by dedicating themself to friends and loved ones. This is the best way to avoid confronting their own shortcomings.
Extremely sensitive, they have a strong sense of right and wrong, and a very sympathetic attitude towards everyone's flaws except their own. They dream of becoming a judge to right wrongs and protect the oppressed, and they detest with all their heart the hypocrisy that characterises some of the law students.
To those who speak of a "rescue syndrome" they readily reply that there is nothing wrong with doing good. Even if it means self-denial.

#34 - Glenda McKinstry, Faculty of Law (Character played by G. A.)
Club or Secret Society: Bloomsbury Group Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Law - Bloomsbury Group - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: B&B - this character sleeps in the B&B, in the quintuple room B, paying 55€ extra
Teaser: If Academic Excellence itself was dressed in a Devington uniform, it would be the spitting image of McKinstry. Loved by members of faculty, hated by fellow students, McKinstry’s brilliance is matched only by their smugness. With a straightened back, head held high and the conceited smile of someone who already knows the answer, McKinstry’s presence in the auditorium is impossible to ignore. The sarcasm, careerism, meticulous planning and competitive drive are characteristics which obviously do not attract a lot of friends. Especially not when combined with McKinstry’s habit of making detailed accounts of their own superiority while mocking the childish antics of their peers. But friendship has never been a priority for McKinstry, not when there is so much on the line. Because every lecture, seminar and examination is of vital importance for what is to come. The history of top grades and flawless scores stand as a testament to McKinstry’s ability, and nothing can be allowed to besmirch that legacy now. Whether anything or anyone can pierce this cold-heartet exterior is a mystery, perhaps most of all to McKinstry themself.

Bloomsbury Group
This is the literature club, inspired by the historical group of which Virginia Woolf, among others, was a member. Its adherents are also editors of the school newspaper, the well-known 'Bloomsbury', famous for its sharp, ironic and biting remarks, always signed in the name of the editorial board, in order to protect the freedom of expression and the identity of its members. The Bloomsbury is always looking for sensational news and scandals: nothing matters more than truth and expressive liberty.Relations: It is not easy to capture your attention, but D. Maddock is an exception. Between you there is a mixture of rivalry and mutual respect.
S. Cunningham doesn't like you at all, but you have to tolerate their presence in the Bloomsbury Group.
M. Scott questions your leadership and decisions.
You instructed M. Hill to write a disparaging article on E. Shaw, but Hill disobeyed you and changed the story, comparing Shaw to the Oracle of Delphi.
B. Henton is unbearable to you. Their spinelessness drives you mad. How can they be at Devington? Were there really no more deserving people? The mere sight of them sometimes annoys you.
You feel a reverential admiration for Devington's headmaster, T. Conway, with whom you would love to build a connection. You also greatly admire C. Coltman. They perfectly embody the spirit of your great nation!

Club or Secret Society: Pudding Club Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Liberal Arts - Pudding Club - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: B&B - this character sleeps in the B&B, in the quadruple room C, paying 55€ extra
Teaser: Adams comes from an American family who moved and became rich in England. They do not belong to the upper-class and do not reflect the classical meaning of 'aristocracy', in fact they are certainly the least sophisticated member of the Pudding Club. Some are unhappy about their admission, which violates at least in part the ancient traditions to which everyone is so attached.
Nerdy, with a great passion for films and comic books, with a playful and humorous personality, friendly and easy-going, someone who disregards formalities. They tend to suspect that people like their company because of their money and not because of his personality. This is why they often shield themself with sharp wit and tell an enormous amount of lies, in order to appear smarter, more brilliant and interesting than they actually are - or think they are.

Pudding club
Blood matters. And it matters more than ever. Only scions of the best families can join the Pudding Club. This ancient club brings together the elite, the young scions of noble birth, and has always welcomed the descendants of Cavendish himself. The name of the club originated in the early years after the founding of the University, when the food in the dining hall was not very satisfactory, and wealthy students had their lunch delivered from the village pub. Specifically, pudding. Times have changed since then, but the custom has remained. Members of the Pudding Club still retain many privileges, including being the first to help themselves at the table with the famous dish that gives them their name.Relations: You do not entirely get along with the members of the Pudding Club, nor with any other upper-class students. Among these, the exception is S. O'Donnell: you particularly love them, for their less edgy character.
You often quarrel with S. Bromfield, an elitist with an axe to grind.
You have a special relationship with E. Shaw: with other people you often feel the need to lie and to please, with Shaw you don't. Shaw has the power to unmask you, and still make you feel at ease.
Prof. S. Cunningham is particularly lenient with you.
#13 - Rosalind Powell, Faculty of Liberal Arts (Character played by K. P.)
Club or Secret Society: Pudding Club Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Liberal Arts - Pudding Club - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: B&B - this character sleeps in the B&B, in the quadruple room C, paying 55€ extra
Teaser: Powell is definitely not the brightest bulb in the box, and everyone knows that: their family, their teachers and, above all, the students at Devington. Their personality is sunny, friendly, curious, chatty and agreeable to the point of being a doormat. Powell often speaks their mind, with extraordinary candour - but not with the intention to offend, far from it. They love to please people and be helpful, which is why their friends often take advantage of their naivety and good heart, not to mention the money thier family generously provides. Their membership in the Pudding Club shields them from the most blatant and humiliating provocations, but many people think that Powell is just a sweet airhead with money, and that their destiny is among the Donors.

Club or Secret Society: The Unknown Dreamers Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Liberal Arts - The Unknown Dreamers - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: A charismatic, brilliant and rather lazy character, Wingrove spent their childhood in the company of a rich, alcoholic mother, who, despite being among the Gifted, squandered her existence, caught between pills and depression, until she needed a liver transplant. In spite of - or perhaps because of - their troubled past, they are a Devington icon: a refined, posh and somewhat hypochondriac character, who faces life with elegance and is a pleasure to be around.
They are timidly exploring their homosexuality, without being able to face it openly. They subtly joke about vanity and privilege, with a gentle, classy irony. They often hide insecurities and guilt behind ostentatious nonchalance and a deadpan English humour.
They cannot stop feeling guilty about the Donor's sacrifice that allowed their mother to survive.

The Unknown Dreamers
The art club brings together the free spirits, the bohemians, the restless souls who want to give free rein to their creative expression. The Dreamers worship art: art for provocation, art for scandal, art for its own sake. As is the custom of the club, every year, on the first and last day of class, the Dreamers secretly perform a scandalous and sensational work of art, which is then put on display in front of the entire school. Some call their work immoral, indecent or even obscene, but despite this, the teachers have always shown a certain leniency. After all, this too is a Devington tradition.Relations: You and P. Wingrove are cousins: although you love your mother very much, you sometimes feel a tinge of jealousy at their good fortune. P. has no worries and has been handed everything on a plate, but they do not seem to appreciate it. You don't behave like that.
You feel great fondness for A. Collins. A feeling you would call... fraternal.
On a crazy night with the Dreamers secret society you stole some alcohol and told your whole story and your worries to T. Griffiths.
M. Scott has often supported you, even publicly, and was among the first people to suggest you were gay - they realised it even before you did. You appreciate their support, but you don't want it to go too far. They should not push you out of your comfort zone.
Because of your hypochondria, you occasionally pester T. Gloves and F. Fisher.
J. Stonehouse has confided part of their story to you, but this had an unexpected effect on you, pushing you away.

Club or Secret Society: Metamorphosis Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Liberal Arts - Metamorphosis - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Wilson loves showmanship. They love drama, tear-jerking films, scenes in the middle of the street. They love to turn heads when they walk by, to put on shows. Their ostentatious confidence hides a fragility that they tend to mask with their excesses. Behind appearances they rarely allow themself to show weakness and insecurity. J. is a fascinating enigma, the kind of person who changes your life when you meet them. Sometimes their attitude can come across as contrived, as if they were constantly performing on a stage. But they love beauty, art, everything that crosses the line of what is allowed. Like entering into the lives of others and disrupting them. And then leaving. Just enough to avoid being affected in turn. They have difficulty admitting their limitations and insecurities.

Metamorphosis
The Metamorphosis are a group related to the cult of Dionysus and Bacchus, to pleasures taken to the extreme, and to change. They push themselves to excess, thus seeking to touch higher peaks of knowledge and understanding, as well as pleasure. They are tied to nature, feelings, sexuality, personal growth and animality: in fact, it is said that each member is associated with a beast, and can only leave it behind when they have reached the highest evolution of themselves. On the night of their initiation, you might hear the group members howling, or meowing, or who knows?Relations: O. Thompson, J. Wilson, J. Stonehouse, J. Bennett and N. Cave are a group of students who come from families with many Donors. This is why they have bonded with each other.

Club or Secret Society: Metamorphosis Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Liberal Arts - Metamorphosis - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: It is impossible to describe Evans without mentioning these three words: sex, romance and excess. They love to experiment, are openly bisexual, fall in love often and are not afraid to show it. They have a great talent for making people feel loved, and for bringing them into their inner circle, where Evans is able to nurture their self-esteem and confidence. They want to be the most important person in people's lives, the very centre of their existence.
Just before entering school, they had a child and decided to go on to university anyway, entrusting it to an adoption system, in order to focus on their future. Nowadays, they try to forget the feelings of guilt for that abandonment by trying to fill their life with love, in every form, including the more overtly sensual, sexual and over the top.

Club or Secret Society: Bloomsbury Group Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Liberal Arts - Bloomsbury Group - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: B&B - this character sleeps in the B&B, in the quintuple room B, paying 55€ extra
Teaser: Hill loves to take refuge in books. They read a lot and write short stories and poems. Since childhood they have had problems with hyperactivity, and have found their calm and balance in inventing stories, and fitting all the pieces of the complex puzzle of life into them. However, when things do not go as they planned, they tend to get discouraged, have fits of rage and destroy everything in a state of dejection. They have a boundless imagination and are very bright, but are incapable of perserverance or longer bouts of concentration. Their activity is more like random spikes of enthusiasm. They have a tendency to assign roles to those around them, and expect people to behave as in the story they have imagined for them. Sometimes they vent their frustration in intense physical activities, or even violence.

That room bathroom and shower will be publicly available, ie, they will be shared with whomever sleeps in the Villa. This character will pay €30 extra.
Teaser: H. Morris could be heard from afar on their arrival in Devington; they hoped that with their gift of gab they would shake the school to its very core. Them entering Bloomsbury, they said, would be tantamount to an earthquake within the University. It's five years later, and Morris' writing talents now seem to be completely in service of the establishment. Their articles perfectly toe the line of Devington's politics, and there is no trace of their original antiestablishment instincts. They simply changed their mind over time: you don't need to be a rebel to have an impact on the world. You need to operate within the framework. Moreover, at Devington they have found values they appreciate, and find the school perfect as it is.
Intellectually exuberant, with a curious, chatty and intelligent nature, they hide their insecurity behind a contemptuous and intellectual manner. They often indulge in long, intellectual platitudes. They are from a middle-class family and have had a good education: they often make this felt by those who come from a less affluent family. Their original rebellious intellectual leanings have changed over time, becoming more moderate, and coming to appreciate and support the system.

Club or Secret Society: The Unknown Dreamers Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Liberal Arts - The Unknown Dreamers - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Collins wants to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. There would be nothing worse than to discover on one's deathbed that one has not lived. That's why they play liberally with their Devington career, even at the cost of making powerful enemies or risking expulsion. There would be no point in stopping: these are the best years, and perhaps the last. One must live them to the fullest, never hesitating, never stopping.
They are a burning flame, their friendships and relationships are intense but brief. Their burning passion lasts one night. Boredom soon sets in towards those companions who cannot keep up with their artistic flair or their impulsive actions. Those who cannot renew themselves are as good as dead, and are completely buried by Collins' overwhelming passion and creative restlessness.
Artistically, too, Collins moves from one style to another after the initial passion has worn off. Their work is very heartfelt, but lacks the technical expertise of other students.

Club or Secret Society: The Unknown Dreamers Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Liberal Arts - The Unknown Dreamers - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Griffiths obsessively enjoys anything that is niche, outside the mainstream, known to a select few. Consequently, they hate everything that the 'masses', as Griffiths calls them, find interesting. They are always looking for what is special, rare, even unique. They do not want to be 'like the others', no matter what.
Art is a passion that was selected in a calculated way, by exclusion: law was too difficult and science too barbaric. Art, moreover, gives the possibility to amaze, to be different - therefore trendy.
"There's just one horrible thing in the world, only one unforgivable sin: the boredom," said Oscar Wilde. Griffiths embraced this phrase as a credo, but in reality it is also their greatest fear: looking in the mirror and discovering that they are horribly ordinary.

Club or Secret Society: The Unknown Dreamers Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Liberal Arts - The Unknown Dreamers - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: The day they won the Bloomsbury INVISIBLE prize, they commented in his diary: ''It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.'' Then, they wrote a poem about the invisible spirit of a suicidal lover haunting his lady's grave.
Bennet has an introverted, calm and compassionate personality. They care about people's feelings, and have a decadent fascination with love, death and the devil. They consider themselves an artist experiencing a phase of spleen, in the grip of an existential melancholy that, within the limits of the school's dress code, is also evident from their appearance. Their sensitivity is their greatest talent, the burden and the delight of their existence.
Both of their parents were Donors, and got harvested several years ago.

Club or Secret Society: Les lumières Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Liberal Arts - Les lumières - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Many recognised the fear in R. Moore's eyes the day they arrived at Devington. Not many people like Moore pass the rigorous entrance examinations, and even fewer manage to endure the months that follow. And honestly, few would have bet on Moore, had they been asked for an opinion. A fragile person, frequently sad, and often for no apparent reason.
It is not uncommon, though less frequent now, for them to stay in their room during an important lecture or social activity, complaining of malaise and exhaustion. Mood swings are also not uncommon. However, in their best moments, Moore has proved wrong the detractors, and those who thought Moore would drop out after one semester have been utterly disappointed. When they are in their happy period, they achieve some of the best results in their class, especially standing out in his drama class. But now that the final exam is approaching, one can yet again glimpse those scared eyes. Some weaknesses are hard to overcome.

They oppose all forms of mystification and, if they can, expose lies and deceptions.Relations: V. Roger, C. Lloyd and T. Saint-John Talbot are an exclusive little group whose main activities are: bragging, throwing parties, and mocking the school losers... such as you!
You owe a lot to A. Owen, without them things would have been different. They give you confidence.
You often study with J. Bennet.

#7 - Dawn Baker, Faculty of Liberal Arts (Character played by L. M.)
Club or Secret Society: Bloomsbury Group Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Liberal Arts - Bloomsbury Group - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: B&B - this character sleeps in the B&B, in the quintuple room B, paying 55€ extra
Teaser: They have an intimidating appearance and demeanor, and seem ill-suited to Devington's uniforms and elitism. They come from a poor and deprived background and have a reputation as a delinquent, but they have won a scholarship and in spite of everything show great scholastic ambition. Despite the cold aloofness with which they treat most of their classmates and the arrogance with which they responds to any provocation, they must have some insecurity that they hide very well.
CHAV (council-housed and violent) is the derogatory nickname with which many mock Baker, who often responds in kind with sarcasm or dockworker insults. Baker will probably never have their respect. But what would the snobs at the Pudding Club know about someone who has always fought against hardship and prejudice to achieve their dream.

Bloomsbury Group
This is the literature club, inspired by the historical group of which Virginia Woolf, among others, was a member. Its adherents are also editors of the school newspaper, the well-known 'Bloomsbury', famous for its sharp, ironic and biting remarks, always signed in the name of the editorial board, in order to protect the freedom of expression and the identity of its members. The Bloomsbury is always looking for sensational news and scandals: nothing matters more than truth and expressive liberty.Relations: V. Roger, C. Lloyd and T.

In the Bloomsbury Group you have a professional and personal antagonism with H. Morris.
You have an unexpected and sincere friendship with R. Powell, you appreciate their support and willingness to help, but you do not accept charity from anyone. Actually, you think a lot of horrible people take advantage of Powell's kindheartedness.
You have received praise and interest from S. Cunningham and you both happy and ashamed about it. You don't need favouritism.
I. Crooks does not instil any fear in you, on the contrary, you can easily see through that type of person. You tried defuse their hostility with sarcasm, but unfortunately it didn't work.

That room bathroom and shower will be publicly available, ie, they will be shared with whomever sleeps in the Villa. This character will pay €30 extra.
Teaser: Scott spent their entire childhood being inspired by the career of his father, a prominent politician. At his urging, they took an interest in what was going on around them, taking up interest in human rights, diversity, environmentalism and animal welfare. They have an activist disposition and are very passionate about their causes and what they consider important, so much so that they risk coming across as pushy and obsessive to those who do not share their enthusiasm. Although they have good intentions, they often have a tendency to go on and on about the topics they consider relevant.
Scott's faith in a fairer world, however, is unwavering. They have always cherished the dream of going down in history as the first person to write a detailed report on the lives of Donors: they intend to record for posterity the sacrifice and dedication of those who complete the process as well as their families.

Club or Secret Society: Orbium Caelestium Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Liberal Arts - Orbium Caelestium - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Shaws seems unaffected by anything that happens. They analyse what they see with detachment. It is not disinterest, quite the contrary. They are very interested in what they see. For example, it is interesting to listen for the turns of phrase that are used to simply not tell things as they are, or the lies that are told to cover up the obvious. Sometimes it seems that a strange game is going on around them, of which everyone else knows the rules, but not Shaw. It often happens that they point out something very obvious, and that ends up infuriating more than one person.
They fail to understand the basic rules of the society around them. They always say what they think, without any malice - indeed, with a disarming candour. Very often, however, what they say breaks unwritten rules. They have a total disregard for the division between the Gifted and the Donors. Shaw only follows what they care about: music, first and foremost. Their nickname is "walkman".

Orbium caelestium
Those who look at the stars, look the right way. Members of the Orbium Caelestium wonder about the movement of the planets, the starry skies, and are guided by the suggestions of the zodiac, astronomy and astrology. They are said to be able to see the future, or at least that is what they strive to do: to know themselves and outline what is to come, probing into the complex workings of the cosmos. The Orbium does not only believe in Magic. The Orbium is magic. It shapes the world according to complex processes, which can be read in the stars or in ancient stories, in tarot cards or in unknown runes.

Club or Secret Society: Metamorphosis Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Liberal Arts - Metamorphosis - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Thompson tends to romanticise everything, to lose themself in complex and intricate tales, full of poetry and hopes and dreams. They believe in predestination, fairy tales and magic, which is why they firmly believe that their destiny is among the Donors, like their uncle, the famous John Thompson, the Donor who chose to go on beyond the third surgery for the love of his country.
So if you have to die for others, you might as well dedicate yourself to them in life. That is why they try to make their current life full of gentleness, affection, kind gestures and courtesy. If this is destiny, one might as well be remembered for something good. They take as examples the divas of silent films, or the heroes of black and white adventure films.

Metamorphosis
The Metamorphosis are a group related to the cult of Dionysus and Bacchus, to pleasures taken to the extreme, and to change. They push themselves to excess, thus seeking to touch higher peaks of knowledge and understanding, as well as pleasure. They are tied to nature, feelings, sexuality, personal growth and animality: in fact, it is said that each member is associated with a beast, and can only leave it behind when they have reached the highest evolution of themselves. On the night of their initiation, you might hear the group members howling, or meowing, or who knows?Relations: O. Thompson, J. Wilson, J. Stonehouse, J. Bennett and N.

#57 - Roger Dixon, Gym teacher (Organizer NPC) (Character played by F. P.)
Club or Secret Society: Faction Professors and university staff - Faculty: Professors - Gender: man - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: In his youth, Dixon was a major Olympic champion for Great Britain. He had to interrupt his career because of an unfortunate accident, which happened at Devington. While guest lecturing at the university, he fell down the stairs, injuring his knee. The situation was so tragicomic, it almost sounded grotesque. The University subsequently offered Dixon a teaching position as compensation.
Students often mock this borderline ridiculous misfortune, but obviously never in an overt manner. What is clear is that few understand the pain of such a failure, and the only thing people see is the professor's harsh, stern and temperamental nature. He has a very strong competitive spirit, and truly believes he can train some of his students to become athletes.
Relations: S. Wingrove and P. Wingrove should try to achieve, considering the family they come from. Especially with P. Wingrove you don't hold back and always remind them of who their father, Commander Wingrove, is.
You get along well with K. Holland and C. Armitage: although no one admits it, those who teach extracurricular courses are a step lower in the teachers' pecking order. That is why you have to team up.
V. Roger cares a lot about your approval and their athletic performance. You have a bit of a soft spot for their dedication.
#56 - Kirsten Holland, Professor of Music (Organizer NPC) (Character played by C. C.)
Club or Secret Society: Faction Professors and university staff - Faculty: Professors - Gender: woman - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: From a very humble family, she was brought up between oratories and pastorals, and managed to enter the world of the Gifted solely through her sweetness, good character and talent. For a long time, before arriving at Devington, she conducted distinguished choirs in all parts of Great Britain - especially religious, Gregorian and medieval choirs - with moderate success. Until, at a concert, she was noticed by Dean Conway, then a simple teacher, who used his influence in the university to get her hired. It was a revelatory moment.
Her background and history led Holland to believe that music had a saving power. There is nothing that gets to the core of feelings like a note, a harmony. If outside her lessons she comes across as gentle, meek and a little insecure, she changes radically when it is time to conduct the choir. She takes great care of her students - especially those who have difficulty expressing themselves - and what better medium than music? Besides, as she always repeats: you can't go wrong if you put your heart into it.
Relations: S. Finnemore seems to believe there is something mystical about the way you think about music.
You get along well with C. Armitage and R. Dixon: although no one admits it, those who teach extracurricular classes are a step lower in the teachers' pecking order. That is why you have to team up.
#55 - Celia Armitage, Professor of Drama (Organizer NPC) (Character played by F. C.)
Club or Secret Society: Faction Professors and university staff - Faculty: Professors - Gender: woman - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Very famous for her successes in Hollywood as a child actress, Armitage was a film star until the age of twelve. After that, she moved from one acting school to another and devoted herself to theatre in its most classical form, until she came to Devington as a teacher. Traditionalist and rule-abiding, she often appears rather focused on technique and formal precision, and disinclined to encourage the unbridled talent and flair of her students. She has the academic approach of the old actresses, while belonging to a much more modern era, and seems to have constructed an impeccable persona around herself -- perhaps hiding a flawed person. It is hard to say what lies beyond the surface.
She incentivises and rewards the most serious and diligent students, while relegating the lazy and uncommitted to secondary roles.
Relations: You should be enjoying the company of D. Jennings, but they understands little about artistic expression. Not everything should be created in a random burst of inspiration.
You get along well with K. Holland and R. Dixon: although no one admits it, those who teach extracurricular classes are a step lower in the teachers' pecking order. That is why you have to team up.
#46 - Sybil Cunningham, Professor of Literature (Character played by C. T.)
Club or Secret Society: Bloomsbury Group Faction Professors and university staff - Faculty: Professors - Bloomsbury Group - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: B&B - this character sleeps in the B&B, in the double room D. That room bathroom and shower will be publicly available, ie, they will be shared with whomever sleeps in the Villa. This character will pay €30 extra.
Teaser: Devington students could never suspect that, before teaching, Cunningham had tried their hand at a music career and one of their songs was even played on the radio. Unfortunately, that dream was never realised. Even more unfortunately, the faculty is all too familiar with their background, and shows little respect for Cunningham, whose academic record does not live up to the school's prestige.
They start at Devington as a substitute teacher on a temporary year-long contract during the junior year, but then surprisingly their tenure gets extended. A non-conformist, enthusiastic and engaging teacher who puts a great deal of passion into their new life mission, during the senior year they are in the precarious position of waiting for either a letter of dismissal, or permanent employment at the end of the year. Tensions with some colleagues and the headmaster do nothing to keep their worries at bay. This is aggravated by their desire to nurture free-thinking and critical minds, when it would be more prudent to take a more traditionalist approach and focus on improving the grades of their students.
Bloomsbury Group
This is the literature club, inspired by the historical group of which Virginia Woolf, among others, was a member. Its adherents are also editors of the school newspaper, the well-known 'Bloomsbury', famous for its sharp, ironic and biting remarks, always signed in the name of the editorial board, in order to protect the freedom of expression and the identity of its members. The Bloomsbury is always looking for sensational news and scandals: nothing matters more than truth and expressive liberty.Relations: You are particularly lenient towards S. Adams, but you try to keep it secret. You have had disagreements with F. Sullivan and B. Walters, who do not respect you and would want you removed from the faculty. Unfortunately, Principal T. Conway is keeping an eye on you.
E. Howton seems like an interesting person, but the hostility of your colleagues stops you from making friends.
C. Coltman often gives you good advice on how to reinforce your position and keep your job at Devington.
D. Jennings sometimes invites you for drinks after classes.
You have a special interest in C. Evans, R. Moore, and D. Baker, with whom you often chatted after class.
#47 - Diane Jennings, Professor of Art (Character played by S. Z.)
Club or Secret Society: The Unknown Dreamers Faction Professors and university staff - Faculty: Professors - The Unknown Dreamers - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Jennings tends to favour those pupils who are artistically talented, and unintentionally neglects others. In addition, they have a weakness for those who appreciate their art - ill-concealing a need for validation of their talents - and they are unable to like those who express critical opinions about their work.
Obviously, they know that favouritism is seen as problematic, and they behave as professionally as possible, but they often fail to resist it, sometimes lapsing into an almost childish behaviour, or failing to maintain a proper detachment from students. In general, however, they have great talent as a teacher, due to their particular ability to influence and shape others. They wants to give their students, and everyone around them, a pleasing form. As one does with works of art.
They are constantly seeking inspiration, and finds it in the presence of others, affirmation, compliments, youth and alcohol, which they secretly tend to abuse.
The Unknown Dreamers
The art club brings together the free spirits, the bohemians, the restless souls who want to give free rein to their creative expression. The Dreamers worship art: art for provocation, art for scandal, art for its own sake. As is the custom of the club, every year, on the first and last day of class, the Dreamers secretly perform a scandalous and sensational work of art, which is then put on display in front of the entire school. Some call their work immoral, indecent or even obscene, but despite this, the teachers have always shown a certain leniency. After all, this too is a Devington tradition.Relations: You have a great talent for ''shaping'' the students you mentor. For example, you are committed to making O. Britton express their grief.
C. Coltman is a rather annoying character and often scolds you for your unprofessional attitude.
E. Howton has never hidden that he appreciates you - on the contrary. You do not dislike them either. Just like S. Cunningham, whom you sometimes meet up outside the university.
B. Walters caught you hiding a bottle in the teachers' lounge, but seems to have kept quiet.
You should get on well with C. Armitage, but you have the conviction that they really don't understand anything about artistic expression.
#48 - Belisarius Walters, Professor of Latin (Character played by F. S.)
Club or Secret Society: Metamorphosis Faction Professors and university staff - Faculty: Professors - Metamorphosis - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: With slight movements, like adjusting the glasses on the tip of their nose, Walters can make an entire classroom tremble in fear. According to Walters, there is no room for deadline extensions, excuses, or mistakes. If a student fails to deliver an assignment on time, or deigns to break a single rule - even the most miniscule - their punishment will be severe. Walters has a piercing gaze that judges whoever is in front of them critically, never bothering to hide behind a friendly or diplomatic facade, regardless of whether the person at hand is a student or a fellow colleague. Walters’ scrupulousness stems from their belief that they are a follower of Ovid’s teachings in the Metamorphoses. The great driving forces of Knowledge and Love, which inform human action in the Ovidian mythos, are also the forces that drive Walters. In the pursuit of Knowledge one must be principled and steadfast. Love, understood as the highest purity and clarity of the soul, is then the natural consequence of life lived in arduous self-improvement and consistent advancement of one’s Knowledge. If there is Knowledge, there is Love, and vice versa. Embracing this harmony of things, Walter is able to freely communicate their feelings and opinions without qualms, shame or sin. Rigour and discretion, Knowledge and Love with no restraints. Walters has learned how to wield the power of their philosophy. And so, knows the time and place for everything.

On the night of their initiation, you might hear the group members howling, or meowing, or who knows?Relations: Among your colleagues, it is well known that you do not particularly appreciate S. Cunningham and C. Preston. They have not yet understood what it means to teach at Devington.
C. Evans has an ambiguous attitude towards you.
You have particularly bonded with F. Sullivan.
You once caught D. Jennings, in the teachers' lounge, hiding a bottle of gin or some other alcohol.
#49 - Francis Sullivan, Professor of Biology (Character played by D. O.)

That room bathroom and shower will be publicly available, ie, they will be shared with whomever sleeps in the Villa. This character will pay €30 extra.
Teaser: Throughout life, Sullivan has venerated old traditions, meritocracy and wealthy family lineages. In short, the culture in which they were born and molded. Never squandering an ounce of their privilege, it was obvious that Sullivan’s talent could take them anywhere they wanted to go. Following the nudges of their mentor and family, Sullivan put aside rebellions of youth, their desires to explore the world and to see its magnificent diversity. Instead, Sullivan became a teacher at Devington. The youthful curiosity stood aside as they devoted everything to the university, quickly becoming an unshakeable pillar, almost merging with the architecture of the institution itself. Sullivan invested their entire inheritance - a vast fortune by any standards - into Devington, thereby becoming one of the university’s largest contributors. After years of service, however, Sullivan is beginning to doubt whether they abandoned prematurely those passionate experiences of their youth. Perhaps this pursuit of academic greatness has resulted in a life scarcely lived? But alas, there is no turning back now, no breaking down, no admitting that they might have been mistaken. Cowardice is simply not allowed, even as the walls of Devington threaten to suffocate what remains of Sullivan’s individuality.
Pudding club
Blood matters. And it matters more than ever. Only scions of the best families can join the Pudding Club. This ancient club brings together the elite, the young scions of noble birth, and has always welcomed the descendants of Cavendish himself. The name of the club originated in the early years after the founding of the University, when the food in the dining hall was not very satisfactory, and wealthy students had their lunch delivered from the village pub. Specifically, pudding. Times have changed since then, but the custom has remained. Members of the Pudding Club still retain many privileges, including being the first to help themselves at the table with the famous dish that gives them their name.Relations: You are among the sponsors of Devington along with the parents of M. Cavendish and S. Cavendish and the father of Saint-John Talbot. Saint-John Talbot refused the invitation to the Pudding Club. This doesn't happen often.
You have an ambivalent relationship with C. Coltman. On the one hand you are aware of their terrible fate, on the other you feel a shadow of envy. The fact that they know how little time they have made Coltman never deny themself anything in life.
You particularly bonded with B. Walters.
You often clash with R. Mace, but they have recently spoken to you at great length and in an almost obsessive manner about certain matters. They have left you with several doubts and suspicions.
#50 - Caleb Preston, Professor of Psychology (Character played by L. S.)
Club or Secret Society: Orbium Caelestium Faction Professors and university staff - Faculty: Professors - Orbium Caelestium - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Time spent with Preston is reminiscent of being near family. Preston is protective and loving by nature, with an endearing, almost parental attitude. A psychologist by vocation, Preston teaches what they practice with the stated ambition to do good for young people. If there was anything to criticise Preston for, it would be that their kindness can sometimes border naivety. Their trust and genuine concern for the well-being of others means that they risk falling under the influence of those with less than charitable motives. Despite this, Preston is adored by students they mentor, and cares for the growth and education of these students - perhaps more so than any other member of faculty. Unfortunately, a curse seems to haunt Preston. Almost every student they mentor has ended up among the Donors. Like a gardener watching their flowers wither and die, Preston carries the burden of this knowledge with a heavy heart. This vulnerability disappears, however, when Preston teaches their subject in class. The slightly clumsy and awkward demeanour is all but replaced by the passion of a Socratic tutor, fervently inspiring wisdom in young, developing minds. Undeterred by the misfortunes of their past students, Preston maintains a steadfast belief in the magical power and influence of good deeds.
Orbium caelestium
Those who look at the stars, look the right way. Members of the Orbium Caelestium wonder about the movement of the planets, the starry skies, and are guided by the suggestions of the zodiac, astronomy and astrology. They are said to be able to see the future, or at least that is what they strive to do: to know themselves and outline what is to come, probing into the complex workings of the cosmos. The Orbium does not only believe in Magic. The Orbium is magic. It shapes the world according to complex processes, which can be read in the stars or in ancient stories, in tarot cards or in unknown runes. For the members of this secret society, there is so much more than just Reality.Relations: You have an old friendship with Finnemore. You know each other from your university days - at Devington. In your youth you were in the same secret society, and shared the same dreams and the same belief in being able to shape your own destiny.
You councelled Paul Mason, brother of H. Mason who unfortunately took his own life shortly before H. joined Devington.
You took E. Shaw under your wing.
L. Reece played a cruel prank on you, costing them three days suspension. They made you walk into the classroom where they hang up pictures of students you councelled who ended up on the Donors' list, with the words ''AT LEAST YOU TRIED!''.
You have a bad feeling about V. Roger and you tried to start a conversation but your words fell on deaf ears. You have, however, picked up worrying signs and do not want to give up.
#51 - Simon Finnemore, Professor of Astronomy (Character played by P. J.)
Club or Secret Society: Orbium Caelestium Faction Professors and university staff - Faculty: Professors - Orbium Caelestium - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Finnemore attempts to preserve traditions and push back against the ridicule that is modernity. The answer lies in the past, in the occult, in that which is secret. Certainly not in rock music or the study of contemporary art. The modern age is an age of intellectual decadence, and most people have lost what connected them to the magical and the divine. Finnemore fell in love with Devington with all their soul, because for centuries it remained a safe little corner of the world where students could be taught true values. Now, traces of outside life seep in. It must be stopped.
Strong-willed, fascinated by occult powers, invisible control, they consider themself the guardian of the knowledge of the ancients. Mystical and mysterious, at times frightening, certainly authoritative: they wish to mould minds and reality to restore the world to its proper form. In their youth, accompanied by some of their Devington friends, they devoted themself to the quest for power through stargazing and the study of star signs. Ever since then, Finnemore has never abandoned the childhood fantasy in which they are the incarnation of Atlas, and the stars are their daughters. They often indulge in fantasies that they would never admit aloud. They crave power and feel they need to demostrate they are worthy of wielding it.

You know each other from university - Devington - and in your youth you shared the same secret society, the same dreams and the same belief in being able to shape your own destiny.
You are in open conflict with D. Jennings: they are taking the art course in the wrong direction and they must be stopped.
On the contrary, you agree with K. Holland: there is something mystical in their way of thinking about music.
L. Gibbs has incredible potential. If they tried to learn how to channel their energy into real magic, they could achieve whatever they wanted.
C. Marshall often pesters you with nagging questions at the end of class.
#52 - Clive Coltman, Professor of Law (Character played by O. B.)
Club or Secret Society: Order of the Crescent Moon Faction Professors and university staff - Faculty: Professors - Order of the Crescent Moon - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: As a student, their behaviour was not always impeccable, and they ended up being a Donor. However, since then, they have completely dedicated their life to their studies and to the university, managing to get an extension, then another, then another. In fact, thanks to their academic merits, they have not yet started the programme. This makes Coltman among the strictest of teachers: by nature, but above all by vocation, they demand a great deal from their students, and care enornously about their success and adherence to the rules. Coltman is the living proof that commitment will be rewarded, and laxity punished.
They strongly believe that those who are dedicated enough to their studies, or to a cause, can achieve anything. But they also know that a terrible death sentence hangs over their head, and that they are only delaying it. And that perhaps, at that point, there will be no merit great enough to make up for the mistakes of the past. Publicly they praise their good fortune, but internally they cannot help but tremble.
Order of the Crescent Moon
The Order of the Crescent Moon gathers young people with a strong sense of morality, the modern knights, the strictest ones, those who see to it that the rules are respected and enforced. One cannot be just if one does not also try to make others just. Inspired by the ancient knights, they are characterised by militaristic and camaraderie rituals: whoever harms one, harms them all. Whoever does not intervene to uphold the law, is admonished. Whoever disturbs the order, is punished. In their meetings, they whisper of swords and ancient legends of mysterious Britannia.Relations: D. Jennings just doesn't know how to behave. You oppose them publicly, but in reality you somewhat admire their way of letting go.
You really like R. Mace: they seem to have firm values and convictions.
F. Sullivan behaves ambivalently with you. They praise you and seem to admire you, but at the same time they sometimes seem to be envious of your condition. This is ridiculous and almost insulting. But it is impossible to admit this out loud, because it would be like admitting that you are not happy with your noble and honourable fate.
You want to prevent I. Crooks from destroying themself, at any cost. You must change their attitude before it is too late. Like Crooks, you also care about the fate of other students on a bad path.
You give S. Cunningham some good advice to cement their reputation as a teacher at Devington.

They care more about their students than the school rules, which they often find stupid and ridiculous, perhaps because they did not study at Devington, but at a Public University, which they attended on a scholarship. Of course, at the university where they studied there were no such strange - and very often divisive - traditions. There should be no such differences among students: teachers should be impartial, not coddling those with the most prestigious or richest families.
Despite everything, they keep working at Devington. They tell themself that it is because they wants to change things from the inside, but inside they know that no other university in England would match the prestige and pay of this job. This ambivalence is like dripping water that, day after day, hollows the principles in their heart. It is a raw and painful nerve.
The character has been married for three years to someone they love very much and with whom they have recently started trying for a child. The decision they have made is very scary. As much as they think that the division between Donors and Gifted is just, they do not know if they could bear to see their child sacrificed for the nation. When they think about these doubts, these questions they cannot answer, they feel caged in falsehood, without the strength to get out of it.
Les lumières
They are a secret society inspired by the myth of the cave, Plato, the Enlightenment, the Socratic method. Centred on the cult of reason, on investigation, on science, they subject themselves to tests and interrogations to get to knowledge, and to know themselves. They move in the darkness to come to see the light, and support themselves as a family in the process. They never lie. Lies and deception are not contemplated, to arrive at the Truth. They oppose all forms of mystification and, if they can, expose lies and deceptions.Relations: You are in open conflict with Sullivan, whom you see as the embodiment of the world of ridiculous accumulated privilege, a world which needs to be overthrown. You are never disrespectful, but you lose no opportunity to emphasise your point of view.
You respect R. Mace for their ideas of equality and justice.
You urge P. Campbell to overcome their cynicism and find some hope.
You appreciate the personal and modern relationship D. Jennings has with students.
#54 - Richard Mace, Professor of Ethics (Character played by M. R.)
Club or Secret Society: Order of the Crescent Moon Faction Professors and university staff - Faculty: Professors - Order of the Crescent Moon - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Lightning-fast academic career: Mace graduated with the best results in their year, to the point where everyone said it was their destiny to become dean of Devington after Conway. They attended another prestigious university, and joined their first secret society as an adult, which is when - very shortly after graduation - they started teaching at Devington. They have a home, a family and a young son.
This character is a champion of justice who now finds it hard to believe in the values they have always stood for. Despite the fact that they act as a defender of the weak, a bulwark of honesty and a pillar of justice, they recite the Ethics lectures like a tired old platitude, which they no longer know whether to believe in. In the grip of disillusionment and almost at odds with the laws and structures they preach, they are unable to free themself from the binding shackles of education, work and family. Moreover, they bear the burden of expectations: everyone knows that they are the unblemished knight, and so they must be. Even if they no longer believe in the round table.
Recently, however, their doubts threatened to ruin everything. They are, in effect, the protagonist of an improper love affair.
Order of the Crescent Moon
The Order of the Crescent Moon gathers young people with a strong sense of morality, the modern knights, the strictest ones, those who see to it that the rules are respected and enforced. One cannot be just if one does not also try to make others just. Inspired by the ancient knights, they are characterised by militaristic and camaraderie rituals: whoever harms one, harms them all. Whoever does not intervene to uphold the law, is admonished. Whoever disturbs the order, is punished. In their meetings, they whisper of swords and ancient legends of mysterious Britannia.Relations: C. Coltman seems to appreciate your values. You also feel esteem for them: it takes courage to lead that kind of life, knowing that the end is coming. They could be someone to confide in.
You can't help but behave bizarrely in the presence of Saint-John Talbot.
You have a very close bond with E. Howton, because of the values you share. But you are certain that if they saw you for what you really are, they would abandon you, and perhaps even ruin you.
You often compare yourself with F. Sullivan, and once you even talked at length about private matters. You worry you might have overshared.

Club or Secret Society: The Unknown Dreamers Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Science - The Unknown Dreamers - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: This character is the child of a rather old couple. Their sister Meredith, a Donor, died after only one donation, from a liver transplant. Stonehouse's character has changed a great deal over time: in the past they were very sweet and sensitive, but as they grew up they experienced an adolescence of bitterness and despondency, and finally a youth of cynicism, indifference and determined disregard for themselves and their destiny.
A sensitive soul, they repress all their positive feelings because they consider them to be absolutely useless: there is no point in getting involved if good people, like their sister, die in the end.
Sometimes they have attitudes that border on sociopathy, such as using people, ignoring their feelings or acting very impulsively. They have a cold and indifferent nature, which only finds an outlet in creating art, as obscene and scandalous as possible.

The Unknown Dreamers
The art club brings together the free spirits, the bohemians, the restless souls who want to give free rein to their creative expression. The Dreamers worship art: art for provocation, art for scandal, art for its own sake. As is the custom of the club, every year, on the first and last day of class, the Dreamers secretly perform a scandalous and sensational work of art, which is then put on display in front of the entire school. Some call their work immoral, indecent or even obscene, but despite this, the teachers have always shown a certain leniency. After all, this too is a Devington tradition.Relations: O. Thompson, J. Wilson, J. Stonehouse, J. Bennett and N. Cave are a group of students who come from families with many donors. That is why they have bonded with each other.
You confided your story to S. Wingrove, in a moment of apparent affection and closeness. Wingrove said nothing, and from that moment your friendship came to a halt that prevented it from blossoming.
In your first moments at university, you bonded closely with T. Thurston and M. Wilder: a trio formed in the weeks before classes began. However, the two of them were chosen for the same secret society, and you were not. This hurt you very much, and since then the friendship has slowly disintegrated. Now you proudly boast that you are part of the Dreamers.
#17 - Logan Reece, Faculty of Science (Character played by D. S.)
Club or Secret Society: Metamorphosis Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Science - Metamorphosis - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Reece loves being the centre of attention more than anything else. They cannot stand authority and impositions, or at least that is what they claim. For this reason they often indulge in pranks and shenanigans, and display and air of superiority and indifference. They love to look at themselves in the mirror, they put very little effort into their studies and have risked disciplinary action several times.
Their parents are middle-class Gifted who expect the best of them, and perhaps because of this Reece reacts by behaving in the exact opposite way. They want to be different, to stand out from the crowd, to ignore formalities and even their own privileges. Often without realising that it is thanks to these that they are able to wear their flamboyant bohemian hedonist mask.
Rather vain and egotistical in character, they are brilliant, talented and high-spirited. However, they often voluntarily chooses to put their good qualities aside in favour of their showmanship. The show must go on.

Metamorphosis
The Metamorphosis are a group related to the cult of Dionysus and Bacchus, to pleasures taken to the extreme, and to change. They push themselves to excess, thus seeking to touch higher peaks of knowledge and understanding, as well as pleasure. They are tied to nature, feelings, sexuality, personal growth and animality: in fact, it is said that each member is associated with a beast, and can only leave it behind when they have reached the highest evolution of themselves. On the night of their initiation, you might hear the group members howling, or meowing, or who knows?Relations: You share with V. Poole the pleasures of life and a passion for pranks and shenanigans. Thanks to this a real friendship has developed between you.
You can't stand A. Collins hovering around you.
You played a prank on C. Preston which cost you a three-day suspension. You made them come accross yearbook photos of students whom they had mentored, all of whom had ended up as Donors. You labelled the photos "at least you tried!".
You feel some sexual tension towards C. Marshall.

Teaser: Wingrove is a person fascinated by those with power and authority. They will do anything to please them, to enter their sphere of influence, to live off their reflected glory, even at the cost of being hated by their peers. Their father, George Wingrove, is an army commander, decorated by Her Majesty herself. Wingrove wants to show him - and themself - that they are not inferior to him. And being in the good graces of the powerful is the path they have always instinctively chosen.
They would like to have power for themself, but is terrified that they cannot handle it, because deep down they suspect they do not have the skills to do so. They hate it when someone reminds them of their father, or worse, makes a comparison with him.

Club or Secret Society: Les lumières Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Science - Les lumières - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Wilder comes from a modest, quiet, regular family. Their sister is a Gifted woman who has made a success out of her commitment and talent, and Wilder - after winning a scholarship - wants to follow the path that she has already blazed. Or at least that is what they have believed for a long time.
An introspective and self-doubting person, after their first years of academic success they find themself wondering what their true place in the world is. Do they want to stick to the honest mediocrity of their family, or aim for something different? There is nothing wrong with the hard work of the middle class. So why is it that simple, everyday successes do not make their life fulfilled and happy? For some time now they have been on a path of inner discovery.
Extremely idealistic and uncompromising, a trait that sometimes leads to confrontation, they live their relationships as authentically and sincerely as possible. They firmly believe in meritocracy and principles, although as they mature they are beginning to rethink what really counts.

Your trio formed in the weeks before classes began, among those students who had already arrived at Devington. However, you and Thurston ended up getting accepted to the same secret society, and Stonehouse was not. Stonehouse accused you of not doing anything to help them get admitted, they said you wanted it to be just the two of you. Slowly, that anger turned into indifference and then even a little hostility.
N. Cave's sister saved your sister by donating a kidney to her. You and Cave have had a brotherly bond ever since. Your sisters have also bonded a lot, and your families in general.
On your first day at Devington you tried to appeal to Secretary S. Warrick against the non-admission of a high school friend who had applied for a scholarship with you. You dreamed of going to Devington together, but she was not accepted. Your idealism pushed you over the edge: she had suffered an injustice. You gained nothing except for the suspicion that you had gone too far.

Club or Secret Society: Les lumières Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Science - Les lumières - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Thurston has a complex family history. They are the offspring of a couple of Public University students who conceived them shortly after learning they were Donors and then, of course, had to abandon them. Adopted and raised by a loving Gifted couple, Thurston has been extraordinarily spoilt because of their circumstances.
Thier character is rather capricious and at times benevolently manipulative. They often uses their unfortunate birth to gain favours and pity. One cannot really say that they have lived a life of deprivation, but they often exploit their history to soften their interlocutors. They have a great talent for rolling their eyes and fluttering their eyelashes: they are definitely communicative and able to generate empathy in others.
They do not know what happened to their real parents, and in fact have no desire to find out at all: they love their life as it is now.

Teaser: Twin of M. Cavendish. They come from the family of the Dukes of Devonshire, direct heirs of the founder of the school. P. is the heir to the title, because their birth occurred a few minutes before M.'s.
Deeply ambivalent in character, they feel more dread than excitement when they think about the future: they are certain that they are not the right person to inherit the dukedom. But they don't always think so. Their life is an oscillation between the most unbridled exaltation and the most pressing despair. They throw themself headlong into every situation, until the unbridled joy runs out, or some mishap occurs to open the door to depression. Whenever they achieve a victory, they feel at full strength, with inexhaustible drive, enthusiasm and ideas. But when they encounter an obstacle or an opposition, the fear of rejection becomes immobilising. Sometimes their enthusiasm (or despair) overwhelms everything, including emotions and feelings. This is why they seem to lack empathy, and hurt people without doing so on purpose. They simply don't think about the influence they can have on others, because they struggle to understand their real value.

You greatly envy N. Gray their apparent confidence.

Club or Secret Society: Pudding Club Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Science - Pudding Club - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: B&B - this character sleeps in the B&B, in the quintuple room A, paying 55€ extra
Teaser: P. Cavendish's twin. They come from the family of the Dukes of Devonshire, direct heirs of the school's founder. M. is the embodiment of charm, ambition and power. Thanks to their upbringing, they are very adept at making decisions and commanding people, whether by a soft word or an authoritative gesture. They tend to want to dominate others and try to organise their lives. They have never known pain, defeat or rejection, but at the same time they believe that they have been deeply wronged: although they are more mature in character and inclined to command, it is P. who is entitled to the Dukedom, because their birth occurred a few minutes earlier.
They try to shoulder all the burdens of the world, so as not to have to think about their own. They trade favours, they often have a saviour-like attitude. They find it hard to admit that they are in trouble and often suffer from big sibling syndrome. They are the kind of person who takes situations into their own hands at any cost and can be capricious, but also charming, heroic, ambitious and decisive.

Pudding club
Blood matters. And it matters more than ever. Only scions of the best families can join the Pudding Club. This ancient club brings together the elite, the young scions of noble birth, and has always welcomed the descendants of Cavendish himself. The name of the club originated in the early years after the founding of the University, when the food in the dining hall was not very satisfactory, and wealthy students had their lunch delivered from the village pub. Specifically, pudding. Times have changed since then, but the custom has remained. Members of the Pudding Club still retain many privileges, including being the first to help themselves at the table with the famous dish that gives them their name.Relations: You spoil S. O'Donnell tremendously, because you feel you have to take care of your friends.
You have a very close and ambivalent relationship with P. Cavendish, something between symbiosis, love and rivalry. It seems impossible to think of you as separate entities. You and Gibbs make a good team.
A. Bates is unable to cope with life and with the future. You often try to encourage them but to no avail: it is starting to get frustrating. The members of the Pudding Club have to meet certain standards.
The noble Cavendish and Howard families are very close, and when you were young you often hung out with J. Howard. Your personalities were too strong for you to get along. On various social occasions you outshone Howard, and you were keen to point out how you were more popular and influential at Devington.

Club or Secret Society: Orbium Caelestium Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Science - Orbium Caelestium - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: O'Donnell comes from a family that is very wealthy but does not particularly care for its six children, neither emotionally nor financially. This character is as neglected by their parents as they are pampered by their friends. Loud-mouthed, excessive, chatty, carefree, scrounging and profligate, they hardly ever worry about being annoying or inappropriate.
They take almost nothing seriously, neither friendships nor university. They have very little respect for other people's property, albeit without any malice. They can be pushy well beyond the threshold of being annoying, but it is also extraordinarily pleasant to have O'Donnell at a party or among close friends. They seek a stable relationship, not to fall in love, but to find a way to pass the time and be pampered. They know no respect for personal boundaries, and sometimes good-naturedly think that everything is owed to them because of their likability and good character.

Club or Secret Society: Orbium Caelestium Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Science - Orbium Caelestium - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Gibbs comes from a large and very poor family. Many of their siblings have already been assigned to become Donors, so many that their social circle is called ''the Donation proletariat''. After arriving at Devington on a scholarship, Gibbs struck up an inexplicable friendship with some of the more prominent students, who, however, do not spare them from an attitude of superiority at times. Yet Gibbs is happy about it all the same, as long as it serves the purpose of raising their status.
Kiss up, kick down: it is no coincidence that Bloomsbury gave Gibbs the 'ass-kisser of the year' award. Gibbs loves to please others, be they classmates or professors, especially if it leads to favourable outcomes. They often show off with bragging and exaggerated tales, and have always used lies and manipulation to get where they want to be. They have learned the art of tarot cards to frighten and influence others.
Yet behind this veil of lies, Gibbs hides their fear of a fate that seems sealed for those in their family. All Gibbs has ever had around him is death. And this time they will not, and cannot, stand by and watch.

Club or Secret Society: Orbium Caelestium Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Science - Orbium Caelestium - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Cave believes in the importance of education and, above all, in the Donation programme. They think that a person's worth is measured by their dedication to a noble purpose, and becoming a Donor is the noblest purpose of all. Their family history proves this: both their uncle and sister are Donors. They think there can be no better way to prove their worth, they despise those who do not understand the honour of becoming a Donor and, even more so, those who cannot make clear decisions.
However, over the years Devington has become a second home, and the friends they have made: a second family. They have found that their anticipation of the final day is tainted with worry. They have gained much from school: interests, loves, challenges, opportunities. They would never have imagined that it would be so difficult to leave them behind. Fantasies of Donor glory are mixed with hopes for a future that seems to be just beginning. They are ashamed of their doubts, but they cannot escape them. Are they building a future for themself or are they betraying everything they have always believed in?

Club or Secret Society: Orbium Caelestium Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Science - Orbium Caelestium - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: People tend to want to conform, look normal and hide their strange passions. Marshall is the complete opposite: geeky weirdo, and perfectly at ease with that. They believe in almost anything, no matter how bizarre, investigate it with enthusiasm and fiercely defend it against prevailing scepticism. They have a thousand truly nerdy hobbies and often talk profusely about them to pretty much anyone.
In high school they were often the butt of bullies' jokes, and even at Devington they are often teased or heavily criticised, but their enthusiasm, cheerfulness and genuine disregard for the judgments of others has always protected Marshall, who does not feel like a victim at all, despite their apparent fragility.
They have always thought of themself as queer and asexual, but recently they have been going through a phase of great confusion and unexpected desires.

Teaser: Bromfield is a member of the royal family. Their parents are Princess Anne and the Duke of Argyll, William Bromfield. They are not in line for the throne, but they are still the Queen's grandchild by matrilineal descent.
They look at the world with disdain, taking whatever they want because they are entitled to it. Their actions are guided by the placid, muted tranquillity of those who know they are superior. To everyone. To the other students, to the professors in front of them, to the other noblemen who attend the university. Even the question of Gifted and Donors is as frivolous as ever. Royal blood - indeed, the body of royalty - can hardly be questioned.
Bromfield has a habit of giving orders and reminding the people around them who they are.
They see Devington as a playground at their disposal, where they can indulge in all manner of pleasures before devoting themself to the administration of the family lands and estate, one day very far away.

Pudding club
Blood matters. And it matters more than ever. Only scions of the best families can join the Pudding Club. This ancient club brings together the elite, the young scions of noble birth, and has always welcomed the descendants of Cavendish himself. The name of the club originated in the early years after the founding of the University, when the food in the dining hall was not very satisfactory, and wealthy students had their lunch delivered from the village pub. Specifically, pudding. Times have changed since then, but the custom has remained. Members of the Pudding Club still retain many privileges, including being the first to help themselves at the table with the famous dish that gives them their name.Relations: S. Adams smells like hot dogs.
B. Henton does not deserve to be at Devington, despite their family. They can't handle the pressure.
E. Shaw is a primate who got into the wrong zoo.
After choir practice, you gladly stay longer to chat with H. Mason. The conversations flow with delight.
You have a sexual relationship with C. Lloyd, paved with the wildest excesses.
You have involved Powell in an alcoholic evening with sexual games, and you have completely misunderstood their willingness -- they have unpleasant memories of the experience and are ashamed of it. On the contrary, you experienced it with superficial amusement and without much thought, without noticing Powell's discomfort - who is definitely an ''simple'' and unintelligent person.
#19 - Alison Bates, Faculty of Science (Character played by M. S.)
Club or Secret Society: Pudding Club Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Science - Pudding Club - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: B&B - this character sleeps in the B&B, in the quadruple room C, paying 55€ extra
Teaser: A tormented, nervous, neurotic soul. Their family is one of those incredibly elite ones, the kind with a lawyer father and a mother with a white picket fence in front of a well-kept lawn. One of those who urge their children to do well during their studies so that they can plan for the future and create a place for themselves in society.
Bates is neither interested in society nor in the future. They only want the here and now, because the future is scorched earth. They don't want to hear about it, because in any case it will mean leaving life at Devington, with all its comforts, habits and privileges.
Over the past year, nervous tics have begun to accompany their day. At night, rare but powerful panic attacks. They try as much as possible to hide it from the others. Only very few people know how Bates really feels.
Besides, how could they explain to their club that they do not want the university to end, that they would like everything to stay as it is? Forever.
The only thing that has the power to calm Bates in anxious moments is daydreaming about staying at Devington.

Owen found you in the locker room with eyes swollen with tears. Owen sincerely offered help and you confessed your fears concerning the future.
You find the presence of B. Henton reassuring.
M. Cavendish is extremely irritating. They seem to want to teach you how to live and tell you what to do.
At the urging of other club members, you asserted your Pudding Club right over T. Thurston. You demanded that they give way to you on the stairs, and had Thurston moved to the back row during Biology class. Thurston has considered you a spoiled and worthless person ever since.
#18 - Benice Henton, Faculty of Science (Character played by C. H.)
Club or Secret Society: Bloomsbury Group Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Science - Bloomsbury Group - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: B&B - this character sleeps in the B&B, in the quintuple room B, paying 55€ extra
Teaser: Henton, a name that at Devington, as well as in the family, evokes pride. Unfortunately, everyone admires Jennifer Henton, their sister and the youngest Head of Paediatric Surgery in the country and obviously the best student in her year.
Invisibility is their superpower, but it is the unintended consequence of shyness, insecurity, introversion and a slight stutter that always emerges at the worst possible moments.
The perfect target for pranksters, bullies and various arrogant people. Invisibility does not work with them. Their worst enemies, however, are Anxiety and Phobia. Their allies, on the other hand, are their altruism, sensitivity, respectful adherence to rules and deep empathy.

Bloomsbury Group
This is the literature club, inspired by the historical group of which Virginia Woolf, among others, was a member. Its adherents are also editors of the school newspaper, the well-known 'Bloomsbury', famous for its sharp, ironic and biting remarks, always signed in the name of the editorial board, in order to protect the freedom of expression and the identity of its members. The Bloomsbury is always looking for sensational news and scandals: nothing matters more than truth and expressive liberty.Relations: B. Henton, W. Hutton-Finch, V. Poole and J. Bennet attended the same boarding school before Devington. It's not easy to keep friendships alive if you don't share interests and attend different courses. For you it is particularly difficult because you always relied heavily on W. Hutton Finch, your friendship was important.
S. Bromfield constantly criticises you: they say that people like you should not be admitted to Devington, even with a family like yours.
G. McKinstry makes life impossible for you, and not only in the Bloomsbury Group.
In class, A. Bates makes you less anxious than others.
V. Roger, C. Lloyd and T. Saint-John Talbot are an exclusive little group whose main activities are: bragging, throwing parties, and mocking the school losers, which of course includes you.
#16 - Valerian Poole, Faculty of Science (Character played by S. M.)
Club or Secret Society: Metamorphosis Faction Devington's students - Faculty: Science - Metamorphosis - Gender: any - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Irreverent, hedonistic, disrespectful and contrarian, Poole doesn't seem to take anything or anyone seriously. Life is now and it is worth squeezing out the last drop. They love to play pranks, take the centre stage and defy authority, with the attitude of a cynical rebellion.
People mutter that Poole can only get away with it because they come from a rich and influential family and only attended elite schools, or that Poole's extreme narcissism prevents them from having any real friendships.
Poole laughs at the superficiality of others, and artfully conceals their true nature, their weaknesses and fears.

Metamorphosis
The Metamorphosis are a group related to the cult of Dionysus and Bacchus, to pleasures taken to the extreme, and to change. They push themselves to excess, thus seeking to touch higher peaks of knowledge and understanding, as well as pleasure. They are tied to nature, feelings, sexuality, personal growth and animality: in fact, it is said that each member is associated with a beast, and can only leave it behind when they have reached the highest evolution of themselves. On the night of their initiation, you might hear the group members howling, or meowing, or who knows?Relations: B. Henton, W. Hutton-Finch, V. Poole and J. Bennett attended the same boarding school before Devington. It is not easy to keep friendships alive if you do not share interests and attend different courses. You miss W. Hutton-Finch, they are among the few people you have ever really opened your heart to.
You have a close friendship with L. Reece, with whom you share life's pleasures and a passion for pranks and shenanigans. You are kindred souls.
You also have a good relationship with J. Wilson, you think you are quite similar, after all, and not only in appearances.
I. Crooks is the perfect person to play a prank on: they always react in an over-the-top way.
You paid D. Baker to write a paper for you.
You played a cruel joke on J. Howard and expect revenge.
#59 - Fred Fisher, Nurse (Organizer NPC) (Character played by A. G.)
Club or Secret Society: Faction Professors and university staff - Faculty: University staff - Gender: man - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: He has seen many of them. Too many. Good, brilliant students who became Donors. He doesn't criticise, of course. But he is tired. Now he just watches the new freshmen, the new kids, without getting attached, just waiting for their graduation to come, to say goodbye and never see them again.
Fisher is a nurse at Devington, handling routine examinations and caring for the future Gifted... or Donors. The body, as Fisher well knows, is sacred. He does his job well, but he is tired and purposefully detached. He is now used to it, and hardly anything touches him deep down.
Relations: They accuse you of failing to rescue Paul Mason, brother of H. Mason when he killed himself, stealing syringes from the infirmary.
You always work closely with T. Gloves.
S. Wingrove often pesters you with questions, because of their hypochondria.
#58 - Timothy Conway, Headmaster (Organizer NPC) (Character played by F. R.)
Club or Secret Society: Faction Professors and university staff - Faculty: University staff - Gender: man - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Conway is Devington. For decades now he has represented the institution to the best of his ability. Tough, fair, energetic, fatherly. It is not easy to think of the University without him, without his speeches and guidance. There is no figure more inspirational than Conway. He is the mentor par excellence: embodying traditions without allowing himself to be bridled, and wisely opening himself up to modernity. Fair, moderate, inflexible but paternal, open to listening but respectful of the rules. Even the unwritten ones.
For many years he taught Biology and led the Pudding Club, before becoming headmaster. Lately, however, he has been rumoured to have been offered a government post, which would be difficult to give up, and is therefore considering appointing a successor.
Relations: You strongly wanted K. Holland to join Devington. It was only right.
Everyone says that R. Mace will take over as headmaster after you.
S. Warrick is your right-hand man.
#60 - Samuel Warrick, Administrative Secretary (Organizer NPC) (Character played by L. G.)
Club or Secret Society: Faction Professors and university staff - Faculty: University staff - Gender: man - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Warrick is used to handling everything perfectly. Never a delay, never a hesitation. He is always where he needs to be, and he runs the machine flawlessly. Of course it is true that Devington is what it is thanks to the intellect and the spirit of students and professors, but people tend to underestimate his work: who is it that sends the rejection letters? Who is it that organises schedules, meals, lectures, seminars? And who is it, in the end, who has to expel eager young people or dismiss good professors? Warrick scoops up the ashes and keeps silent. He has too much respect for the Devington institution to complain.
The heart matters, but the head - according to Warrick - even more.
Relations: You are Conway's right-hand man, and you pay him the utmost respect. The same goes for all the other teachers in the school.
Some time ago M. Wilder tried to complain to you about the non-admission of one of their high school friends, who had applied for a scholarship. They told you that they had dreamed of going to Devington together, but she had not been accepted. There really wasn't anything you could do except explain to Wilder that her application was highly unsuitable.
#61 - Terrance Gloves, The medical doctor (Organizer NPC) (Character played by M. R.)
Club or Secret Society: Faction Professors and university staff - Faculty: University staff - Gender: man - Player's Age: any - Advices: VILLA - this character sleeps in the Villa, with camping bed and sleeping bag
Teaser: Gloves is a young doctor fresh out of medical school and therefore full of aspirations and energy. Since graduating, they have been in charge of Devington's infirmary. They are genuinely convinced that their work is important and that the patients love them. How could it be otherwise? They have talent, zeal, charm. Sometimes this confidence causes them to lapse into a creepy attitude of over-treating patients and making them too dependent on Gloves, and they struggle to realise that what they are doing is wrong. For this reason Gloves can sometimes be irritating: but they have the best of intentions, and it is not their fault if sometimes their love for their work is mistaken for creepy obsession.
Relations: Some people accuse you of failing to help Paul Mason, brother of H. Mason when he killed himself by stealing syringes from the infirmary.
You always work closely with F. Fisher.
S. Wingrove often pesters you with questions because of their hypochondria.
