Aristocrat's Symphony
It is a sublime rose-colored symphony
With the tact of grief that dances at the elegance
Fate is a rhapsody of the darkness
I turn my arm at my back
With the tact of grief that dances at the elegance
Fate is a rhapsody of the darkness
I turn my arm at my back
Plot
In a long forgotten land, far in the future, there is one big castle in which all kinds of noble clans live. These people can go outside, yes, but the children are forbidden to do so. In the house, they go to school, in the gardens, they have recreation places... All people are different, all clans are different but they all have one thing in common. Every member carries a dark secret, unknown to all the others. In this future, however, things have changed. People drive in carriages but have to knowledge to build on Mars. The houses are advanced but look like Victorian-era villas and so does the clothing and so are the ways the land is ruled. These noble clans rule the poor and the rich, some with democracy, other like a monarchy.
Clans
The Von Diru clan is a clan in which are a lot of artists, who prefer the night over the day. They develop weapons and like aggressive things, they are good working partners with the Nightmare clan and good artist partners with Le Versailles.
The Le Versailles clan is a strict, yet as well artistic clan. they despise the Nightmare clan and work well together with the Von Diru clan. Several members of the clan are devoted to Christian religions, and the children are raised to strict ideals such as those of honesty and resisting temptations. Other common religions are seen in this clan, too. They produce music, sell paintings and do those kind of stuff.
The Nightmare clan worships darkness and creatures of those kind and is the most separated clan off all the clans. They couldn't care less about rules. They don't really like the Le Versailles clan. They do help the Von Diru clan with weapons, but the Nightmare clan is more busy with vehicles.
The Marisu clan is a clan that loves science. They work together very well with the Mizer clan and some people just can't tell them apart. These people test on humans and make all kinds of dangerous chemicals and inventions. They are usually atheistic or at least believe in the ratio above everything else.
The Mizer clan is the clan who goes out to the 'normal' world the most. They can work well together with actually everyone and have a good bond with Nightmare but actually only help them when asked. This is a very diplomatic clan as well and they develop medicines.

Lessons
Everyone in the clan who is older than six and younger than twenty will get education. These are private lessons from whoever has time for you. The youngsters and children (or parents) can choose what lessons they would like (for their kids) and the schedules will be made together with the 'teacher' and are flexible. For who teaches what, see the post below titled 'Lessons'.
Other clans
There is one clan that does not live together with the other five and shares a secret in common, while each individual member can still have his/her own secret. PM me if you want a character in this clan, so that I can tell you the secret. This clan will sometimes visit the other five clans and-or can cause drama, plot twists, etc... All members of this clan have rankings!
During the RP, other clans outside of the castle can be made up as well.
