NAUGHTS AT HEATHCROFT?
It has been announced that there will be four naughts attending Heathcroft High School as of this year. When asked about the decision, Governor Henry Masters was unavailable for comments, though naughts could be seen cheering happily in Meadowview for days on end, though the school won't start until after Crossmas this year.

LIBERTY OR DEATH!
After the recent bombing of the governor's office, new information has surfaced about a naught group known as the Liberation Militia. It's being suspected that those of this group are responsible for the bombing. "These blankers need to be put to justice! They won't get away with this, I swear on my grave!" exploded Governor Henry Masters when asked for an opinion on this. Evidently, he also suspects the Liberation Militia.

THE END?
After many bombings, murders, and injuries of the Crosses, the Liberation Militia has finally been put under control. Dean Weber has been exposed as the leader of the LM and has been sentenced to be hanged this Saturday. Upon going to his home, reporters didn't quite get the comments they were hoping for. Weber's 17-year-old daughter, Izabelle, ran outside, shouting a colourful choice of words at the reporters, before her 43-year-old mother, Elizabeth, managed to pull her back inside.

17 LIVES TAKEN: CULPRIT(S) UNKNOWN
Yesterday, in the Ridgeville Estates, 17 people were killed. The murderers are yet unknown, but it is said that it was definitely one group of people, likely naughts. The police refuse to reveal much else to the media, except that the people responsible will be brought to justice.
- Jacinta Henries
The naughts have been treated like dirt by the Crosses for as long as they can remember. Crosses think they're superior because they have darker skin and they're richer, though they're richer because they made it that way. It's almost impossible for a naught to get an honest job - none of them are smart enough, because their own school stops teaching when naughts are 14, so they're out of school. Some naughts end up working for Crosses, however. The four at Heathcroft had to take a test to get in. They passed. The Crosses think it was either pure luck or cheating. Either way, it doesn't much matter. They're in, now, though they don't exactly get the best... or fairest.... treatment from their new teachers or classmates. Cross classmates. The four naughts at Heathcroft mostly stick together.
So the leader of the Liberation Militia has been arrested. How are the members going to keep going?
If they do, will the Crosses find out? Or do they have a bigger problem on their hands? Will it turn out that the naughts are not the enemy, but the ally?
TERMS
Cross - a human with dark skin; first-class citizen (dark skin isn't required in this RP; we can pretend. Dunno about you, but I already have a hard enough time finding pictures).
Naught - a human with light skin; second-class citizen.
Blanker - naught.
Dagger - Cross.
Liberation Militia (LM) - a group of naughts against the Crosses; they fight to get the Crosses to see that they're equals... and to make them pay.
Meadowiew - the small community where the naughts live... though Rubbishville would probably be a more accurate name. With no money, the naughts can't afford to keep it nice.
Heathcroft - a prestigious school primarily for Crosses. Some naughts have recently managed to pass the test and get in, though not many people are happy about it.
Crossmas - Christmas, in our world.
RULES
- Follow the board rules.
- You can have Crosses that don't discriminate against naughts and vice versa, but don't make too many. Most older Crosses would hate them, though; mostly it'd be the younger generations that wouldn't be so terrible.
- Anyone can make Governor Henry Masters and people from his family.
- Remember, if your naught is one of the four that's going to Heathcroft, mention it somewhere in the chari sheet.
- Have fun! ^^

Izzy's in charge of all of them, and there are many stories about how many Crosses she's killed. After all, to be in charge of the whole thing, it must've been a lot. Some are scared of her, and others just respect her. Most of the naughts in the LM knew who her father was, but they told her not to expect any special treatment. Izzy didn't.

He doesn't much like leading, but someone has to do it, and, being the oldest naught in Meadowview, he's in the prime position to do so, considering he's had the most experience with this life. Ben gets along with pretty much all the naughts, and even a few of the Crosses, though it may be surprising. He also has a son, but they've lost contact over the years. Ben's son lives far away from Meadowview. He thinks his son may be in a whole different country by now.

But darker, of course.
Tattoos/Distinguishing Marks: None.
Personality: Greedy, spoiled, quiet, sneaky, smooth, knowledgeable.
Biography: Damion is used to getting pretty much everything he wants; he knows how people operate. But he's not usually openly mean when he doesn't get what he wants. Except for with naughts. He hates them. His mom was killed in her sleep by a "filthy blanker", as he'll tell anyone who'll listen. Most people know that the story isn't true, they just don't know what happened to his mom. To be honest, even Damion himself doesn't really know. He knows that his dad knows, but his dad hasn't yet told him, and Damion doesn't think he's planning on it anytime soon, or maybe even ever.

Name: Trey Rivera
Age: 17 years old
Gender: Male
Race: Cross
Picture:
Darker.
Tattoos/Distinguishing Marks: A big, red dragon on his back.
Personality: Joking, nice (usually), mischievious, smart, outgoing, confident.
Biography: When Trey got sent off to boarding school for disrupting the classroom for the eighth time (this time for setting tacks on the teacher's chair), he felt somewhat out of place for a few weeks. However, since it is Trey we're talking about here, he quickly found people to hang out with. After a few months, a few of his new friends asked him to come with them, and they took him to a meeting for Crosses that thought they and the naughts were equal, so they should have equal treatment. But the organization is all very hush-hush - they don't want the old-fashioned government to be after them for treason or something ridiculous. Since joining them officially, Trey's been putting all his effort past helping them make a difference.
