When an ordinary child discovered that they were somewhat related to old Revacholian royalty, it changed their life. Or rather, it changed how they saw the world from that moment on. Their family was still poor and had no political power whatsoever, but Aubin knew they were royalty and should be treated as such. Their parents were naturally worried, especially when Aubin changed their name to reflect their heritage, but they did not intervene. Now Aubin is renting a flat with their fellow students, who deserve so much less than Aubin does, and trying to finish their history degree. Their roomates mock them for their beliefs mercilessly, but they will have to respect them when the suzerainists take the reins once again. Aubin is also a passionate artist, capturing the long-lost grace of the monarchy (painting/graffiti).

Valrien grew up with a staunch Moralinternist upbringing in an upper-middle-class family. During their studies as an economics major, they decided to focus on the topic of poverty and gain a profound understanding of how poor people got into their situation and what they do to survive in it. They thought it would be best to observe this as closely as possible, so they decided to move into shared housing with fellow students in the poorest part of Revachol. They frequently engage in political debates with their flatmates, especially those leaning more toward the extremes. Valrien believes that they can make them understand, but is it possible that instead, it is Valrien who could see the error of their beliefs? They hope to keep the fact that they are actually quite rich hidden from their roommates, but they will find out sooner or later - and then what will Valrien do?

Jean's long life has been full of community service, religious leadership, and a genuine desire to help people. Now, it is nearing its end, but their work is not done; not even close. They have no biological family, but all those who believe are their family in spirit. And it is from this community of believers that they need to choose their successor. There are candidates who might be able fill their shoes, but Jean will have difficult choices to make: and still, there is so much work, so much suffering to help with.
Jean is, of course, not only a priest. In La Cage, even the spiritual leader needs to work with the others and, maybe even more importantly, have fun with the others. It is among their neighbours, with drink or darts in their hand, that Jean takes inspiration for their sermons.

Nour came into La Cage to be with their kid, Gabriel, maybe even to save them. They stayed much longer than anyone would have expected, but it is unclear whether that was due to necessity or some new feelings that developed during their stay with the Deers.

They even managed to keep their job, doing some sort of paperwork for somebody, always filling out papers and carrying them out of La Cage. Most people are puzzled: is this enough to make a living, or are they just living off the Deers? And what is actually their plan? Are they hiding from something? Hiding to do something? The noose of gossip is drawing closer and closer to the real nature of Nour's deal. But it is guaranteed that when they find out, they will be in for quite a surprise.

Not only are their ancestors known for helping build the Revacholian Empire, but one of them was also the local legendary hero who saved King Frissel from a horrible Mazovian ambush. The fact that such a luminous, talented person decided to stay in La Cage only shows their local patriotism.
Together with their spouse Addison, Paris promised to put the noble and deserving ones back to the top of the society where they belong, to protect the honest, hard-working people of La Cage and, of course, to eliminate the immoral parasites. Even though the Mazovians disappeared, their ideas are still a threat. The same goes for the Globalists, who want to sell Revachol to foreign powers for their own benefit. All these traitors must be vanquished, and Paris dedicates all their resources and intelligence to that end.
Paris practically adopted one of their neighbours, Frankie Baciu, hoping that this hopeful teenager would have a positive influence on Joan, their heir, who was born frail and shy. Within the von Bergen family, however, Frankie came out of their rude bully shell and turned out to be surprisingly smart and bold.
Paris is an aristocratic Suzerainist leader and a political person through and through. Even if some people claim being a political leader is not a real job.

Merciless tradition has always guided Addison's life. The whole community sees them as the perfect example of genetic superiority and a great leader. Both Addison and their spouse, Paris, come from ancient noble blood and were raised following aristocratic moral principles. They married to perpetuate them. This is the purpose of their life.
When did it go wrong? And why is Addison now doubting their beliefs? Is it because of their heir, Joan, who happens to be shy and frail? Because of Frankie Baciu, the lost teenager Paris practically adopted? Or because their spouse, Paris, is now scaring them? Or even because of their growing love towards an enemy?
Addison knows they must keep up appearences, for their own good. But they feel trapped in a golden cage, where any doubt is seen as betrayal, and betrayal deserves punishment. Now they can’t stop asking themselves: is noble blood actually a blessing… or a curse?

Jacqueline is a working-class hero, highly respected by the community for what she's done: a few decades ago, she made the Coalition fund the neighbourhood renovation. She even sacrificed her personal life to make it happen. But today, the Renovation Office is nothing but the ghost of a long-since vanished dream to which Jacqueline is clinging.
Two of her three children turned their backs on her. Frankie, her last child, was even practically adopted by the local Suzerainist leaders Paris and Addison von Bergen.
Is it already too late to repair her parenting failures and finally reunite her family? Or will Jacqueline accept her fate and try even harder to achieve her dream of a dignified community, whatever the cost?
One question has been haunting her for a while now: how can she take care of a whole community when she couldn’t even take care of her own blood?

Rory is the firstborn of the popular local politician Jacqueline Baciu. While they were still kids, Rory and their sibling Eli had to raise their terrible half-sibling, Frankie.
Rory has always tried to make their mother proud, and they have always been successful in everything they took on. Thanks to the global market, nothing is impossible if you commit and work hard.
Now that Frankie has become some local Suzerainist leader's protégé and Eli has left to chase their dream in Jamrock, Rory has been feeling the weight of being the reasonable one on their shoulders even more.
With unwavering determination, Rory was promoted at a very young age as a sweatshop owner’s right hand person. It is a lot of work and pressure of course, but one day they could rise to the top and become the boss. And from there, accomplish what their mother started and change the destiny of the neighborhood. The thing is - Rory knows they can lead and they should change stuff for the better. They just did not have time to think about HOW they should do that.

Tylor is the oldest sibling and the head and brains of the Maier family. The Maiers are known as a family that not only owns a small firm but also holds on very dearly to what they consider theirs.
Tylor has younger siblings: the charismatic Sidney, the strong Jaydon, and the eccentric Andy. But without Tylor, the family would have been left destitute or, even worse - they would have fallen apart. Now, Tylor is in charge, amongst other things, of managing the family's bank account, and they are good at it. They like to keep an eye on everything. The ‘two pairs of eyes’ principle is always useful for decisions big and small, and the second pair should preferably always belong to Tylor.
Late Momma Maier started from nothing, and Tylor wants to play their cards right so that one day, they shall rule an empire. They have their big plans and dreams - now they just need to get their family in line to achieve these. Maybe, then, they can stop living a life of endless labour and focus fully on living the good life. Tylor hopes their children will never have to get their hands dirty.
The problem is that the family is falling apart due to internal disputes, substance abuse, and quite a few differences in how they see the future of La Cage. Tylor cares about one thing only—can they keep the family on the path to success?

So far, they have also always complied with the orders of Tylor, their elder sibling who manages the family company with an iron fist. However, the seams of the family and the company will come under serious stress both from the inside and from the outside. Power grabs, fierce competition, and an unruly labour force complicate everything even further, but Sidney shall prevail - especially now that their heart is aflame with a new love interest.

Longing to distance themselves from both their parents (now hugely disliked) and their sibling (always bragging about their popularity), Etienne strives to find their own place in the world, not weighed down by the philosophy running through the La Rosa veins. They want something else for themselves. A place where one can comfortably exist, grow, and prosper without relying on boring and monotone labour. A place where creativity, smarts, and hope play a role. Etienne wants to do everything in their power to truly embody a vision of a better world, not just through silently working but through being vocal and pushing politically. They even have accumulated some renown outside of La Cage as a social campaigner in cooperation with the Coalition. And that brings all kinds of unwanted attention to Etienne, both from the local gang and hardcore Suzerainists.

At first, the Du Toits only wanted to send the young ones to the Revachol, but youth is restless and needs guidance. That’s why Aaro was chosen as the only mature family member to accompany them. After all, they were the child of the head of the family. After their arrival, they were also the ones who failed to realize that they had been terribly scammed, and since then, Aaro hasn't stopped blaming themselves. They work the hardest and suffer the most from the exploitation of their employers, partly to forget their guilt and partly to shield the other Du Toits. The letters from Oranje relatives are piling up on Aaro’s desk and becoming harder and harder to answer. The situation has made Aaro look for solace in rather unexpected places, but some things cannot be postponed indefinitely.

After some unsavoury moments, Hun left the family apartment and business and had to stay with the sewer people for a few weeks.
But Hun built back. Now, they are leading a drillslam crew and running a “designer boutique” with their partner. Hun managed and won. So why is everything still balancing on a knife's edge all the time? Something's got to give.
