Currrent version: 1.6
In Chanelcrest, humans are considered far inferior to their counterparts, reavers. Lacking the strength, wealth, or abilities of reavers, most humans have no choice but to sell themselves into virtual servitude in order to make a living.
The most common form of entertainment in Chanelcrest are arena-style tournaments that pit two humans up against each other for sport, with reavers called Ringmasters dictating their every move. It’s such a lucrative business there are facilities that train humans especially for this purpose.
That brings us to Lilith Hall.
Inside this all girl training facility, humans undergo a strict regimen of schooling and physical training to prepare them for the harsh world of the arena. They’re taught from birth that their only purpose is to serve their future Ringmaster as Harlequins that act as equal parts battler and servant. With not even a name, the trainers refer to them by numbers, telling the humans their future Ringmaster will name them if they so choose.
The road to being a Harlequin is filled with pain and suffering, but it’s the only life they’ve ever known.

Number 080 was the child of a previous inhabitant, and has been raised in Lilith Hall since she was a baby. Her entire life has revolved around becoming the ideal Harlequin, and she’s made it her goal to be the best. She has little patience for weakness and strives for a perfection she believes perfectly attainable.

185 is new to the facility, and already hates it. Having grown up in a cushy household, she can’t keep up with these girls who’ve been training for years. 080 is her roommate, and they struggle to find common ground.

Raven was living in an orphanage before she ran away at 15 to try and make it on her own. She was found on the street fighting for stolen food by a reaver, who convinced her to be contracted as his Harlequin. They joined a circus, and she was one of the top performers until it was discovered she was participating underage. The authorities, after pulling her out and breaking her contract, offered her to Lilith Hall.

Lilith Hall also has a wide variety of teachers and trainers who ensure the girls get what they feel is the best possible education.
