the plot.
Being rich has it's ups and downs, well mostly ups. One of the downs is the rivalries, especially between the Cheshers and the Ainsleys. That being said, a recent business partnership between some of their children has brought them together, whether they like it or not. To complicate things even more, the father of the Chesher family just got engaged to a woman after a four month relationship and his children have never even met her! On the other side of Atlanta, the Ainsleys are having some struggles of their own. The children haven't seen their parents since their mother's cheating scandal was revealed. They are trying their best to keep the family together, but the kids aren't helping with their attitudes.
There are roles in this rp, but feel free to ask to add some. If it's something that not everyone would know about, like a secret child, pm me.

the cast.
Cheshers
The Chesher family owns a fashion brand called Wonder (Pretty much Gucci) that has enabled them to rule the fashion industry for decades. It was started by the father's mother, who thankfully passed away a few years ago. The family was ruled with an iron fist and the children can only count on each other. Parents are expected to care only about their children's lives, but not their wishes or happiness. This helps them get ahead in the world, but also creates a giant tear in their relationships. Also, their mother is just gone. She left around ten years ago after they lost almost all of their money in a scandal (another company sued them for a design). They gained it all back almost instantly, but their mother never came back. She sends cards for the kids birthdays, but that's pretty much all they know about her.
Father - Open
He's a 40-50 year old man who inherited his company from his mother. He is manipulative, strict, traditional, and protective. He cares about his family, but won't do anything that will conflict with his interests for them. If someone he loved was at gunpoint and the criminal was asking for money, he would have a hard time deciding what to do. He's very shady too.
Father's Fiancé - Open
She was a middle class working girl before all of this. She worked for the father and they had a whirlwind romance resulting in her moving in. She may or may not be in love with the father, but she is still very manipulative. She's come this far to get what she wants and won't let anyone get in her way. She's quite a bit younger than her fiance and she's probably had a long history before coming here, so she could be quite an interesting character.
Business Aficionado - Open
They have worked too hard to not be appreciated. They were an executive of their father's company, but they felt they were ready to have the ownership handed over. More on that in a second. They try their best not to show their emotion and are very similar to their father. They are manipulative, stubborn, flirty, and hot-headed. They can rarely control their temper and it seems to be their downfall, which is why they need a partner. The major difference between them and their father is that they care about their family more than anything. As much as they try to hide it, they would do anything for them. They've wanted to run a business since their childhood, so now they are. They have started a business with the bro from the Ainsley family, y'all can decide the rest of the details.
The Hippie - Open
They have always butted heads with their father, especially now. After many years of fighting, they were kicked out of the manor and set out to live on their own. They've been doing volunteer work since then, on the other side of the world. They are only recently coming back to find out what news their father has. Moving in would be an adventure. They are very hot-tempered, socially awkward (you can interpret that as they only are like that in romantic situations or in everyday life), and moralistic. They would do anything to escape his father's shadow and wants nothing to do with his legacy.
The Mediator - Open
They are the most peaceful of the family and have always tried to bring everyone together. After their mom left, family has become the most important thing in their life. They can't survive without them. They are sensitive, kind, and sort of a pushover. They hate violence or conflict, so they let everyone walk all over them. They are also easily afraid, so if they are ever in danger or trouble they may not tell their family. They know how intense their family could be, so they are very secretive.
The Butler - Open
They have practically raised the children and do a lot of the home. They are fairly old and their loyalty to the children often interferes with their job.
Ainsleys
The Ainsley family runs a makeup and hair company known as Pieva. They have been running the beauty industry for quite a while now, but for the past few decades they've been struggling. That is, until the mother married into the family. She took over pretty quickly and saved the business. On personal terms, the family is, or shall I say was very close. They "shared everything" with each other, or so they thought.
The Mother - Open
Cheater cheater pumpkin eater. She's had several strings of affairs, but the latest one was leaked to the press. She isn't quite sure how, so she's probably very angry about that. She runs her business with a seductive smile and an iron fist. She's very flirty, manipulative, and charismatic. She does love her family, she has just been struggling with a lot of other things, including her spouse. She runs the company almost entirely by herself, so she has to do anything possible to keep on top.
The Other Parent - Open
They are distant, cold, and generally unloving. Constantly working, though seeming to get nowhere. As this family is so incredibly close, this parent has always been rather distant. Now, no one is quite sure where their mind is at due to the cheating scandal. We'll see, I suppose
The Bro - Open
They are quite a partier and very charismatic. They are probably the most business savvy, though they lack the spark. Also, they were told that the company will never be handed to them. Long story for you to figure out later. They are also not the smartest of people, so they needed a partner. Hence the allegiance with the business aficionado.
The Rebel - Open
They are probably the most normal of all the families. They love a good scandal, anything to spite their parents. They were never a good student and seemed to be the disappointment of the family, until their mother's situation. They are hot-headed, protective, and artistic.
The Patient - Dorothy Adeline Ainsley
They want to milk everything they can out of being rich. Their job is practically shopping, though it is to calm some trauma. They've known about their mother's ways since they were around three and have just been trying to cope. They are quite sad and they love a good party. They are incredibly observant, intelligent (though they won't show it) and fairly patient.
Butler - Open
A new hire who had just been learning to work here before the giant scandal. God (or whatever y'all believe) help them.
