overview.
Welcome back to another semester at Harvard University. You either struggled or paid your way into this prestigious school, one monumental achievement on your way to the top of the social ladder. Whether you're a freshmen or a senior, you've found yourself on something other than the Dean's list this semester.
An anonymous blog thedelphiprophet has begun posting about things no one else should know about you. They've been using aliases of ancient greek myths instead of revealing names, but you're certain one of them is you, and even slightly suspicious that the other posts are about your tight-knit friend group.
You either went to the same New York preparatory boarding school as the rest of your friends, or joined once you met the rest of the group at Harvard. The mixture of old and new money in the group smells of secrets and betrayal.
Will you trust your friends to help you find this so-called prophet, or will you catch them red-handed behind a keyboard?

Welcome to All That Glitters. Our story focuses on the elite students of Harvard, those born into money and desperately trying to hold onto it, and those who have climbed to the top. They are wealthy, successful, beautiful, and experts at paying their skeletons to stay in their closets.
Our characters may come from different backgrounds, but they all have something in common. A deep, dark secret that would ruin them if it ever saw the light of day. Whether it's an affair, a cover-up, an addiction, or something much worse, their reputation and their very livelihood is on the line.
This story is a mix Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars. Myself, .V1LLAINISM._ , BELIAL. , and mi casa have already created a cast for this roleplay that is listed in the taken roles section, so we are only looking to add a few more characters to the cast. We want to see interesting, complex characters with complicated morals and motives.
With characters in mind, please come up with multiple secrets for your character and explain their motivations, they should range from minor to expulsion worthy. The character relationships will be what drives the story, so think in depth about how your character would feel about the others and how their secrets might intertwine.
roles
taken roles.
athena
taken by azula
The class representative, a strong, intelligent woman who is too hyper-independent to let anyone help her. She has fought to keep her place at the top of the social ladder, more inclined to making enemies than friends. Athena is known for her dedication to academia and work ethic, but even her battle strategy may not be enough to save her from the prophet's ugly truths.
heracles
taken by archangel
A star athlete and all around golden boy, this undefeatable hero is crumbling under the weight of his family name. Will the pressure crack our beloved golden boy? How far will Heracles go to keep his family name clean?
dionysus
taken by azula
Harvard's most eligible bachelor. Never one to take anything seriously, he leaves a trail of broken hearts in his wake everywhere he goes. Perhaps one of these scorned lovers is out to drag his name through the mud?
aphrodite
taken by .moonchild.
The head cheerleader, the prom queen, the goddess. All eyes are upon Aphrodite as she floats through the corridors of Harvard U, donning a practised smile that beckons, with eyes of sulphur and a heart made of glass. They say beauty is born from ugliness - an ineffable secret, an unspeakable truth, and Aphrodite is no stranger to secrets.
icarus
taken by .moonchild.
A poster boy for success, Icarus seems to have it all. The wealth, the talent, the looks - an athlete with an impressive record and an impressive lineage to boot, it's a wonder just how long he has until his luck begins to run out. Again. Will his wings be enough to carry him under the pressure? Or will the wax melt, making him another tragedy in the dust?
persephone
taken by mi casa
Your typical spoiled rich girl, or so she seems. Even the most perfect socialite can't stay out of the dark, dipping her toes into hedonism one pomegranate seed at a time. Daddy's money has gotten her far, she is beloved by many in the social scene and she'll do anything to prevent her pristine reputation from being ruined.
arachne
taken by archangel
An old money socialite struggling to make a name for herself outside of her family name. Arachne has a long standing rivalry with Athena born from their competitive natures, a once friendship turned sour. Maybe even strong enough to bury them both in dirty little secrets.
hephaestus
taken by mi casa
A recent come-up in the social scene, an outcast in his own family, his rich uncle is the only reason he's made it this far.

rules
rules.
rule one.
This roleplay is not first come first serve. This story will be entirely character based and all characters must be complex enough to move the story along. We are only looking for 4 more characters at the moment.
rule two.
While the rp will be full of drama, the OOC will not be. No bigotry or intolerance will be tolerated. It is perfectly fine to have creative differences, but there should be no issues between roleplayers. If such drama arises, please bring it to my attention so we can try to work it out.
rule three.
This is an 18+ roleplay, due to mature themes. The OOC will be hosted on Discord.
rule four.
This is a semi-lit to literate roleplay, I expect proper grammar and a minimum of 350 words per post.
