So, I was thinking about starting up a collaborative set in a high-end boarding school in England. It's students would either be very rich,clever (scholarships), musical (scholarship) or sporty (scholarships)
The range of characters could be quite diverse as many foreign students could come.
I was thinking about having around 10 main character, this could change depending on how many people want to join. Below are a few ideas for characters which you can take, adapt or ignore. :)

It's a boarding school, with a high reputation, so there could be a scandal around it, or something gets stolen from it and a bunch of students try to get it back. Mostly i think it would be the ordinary drama that goes with school though. I don't go to boarding school, but I imagine that the drama is much worse than public highschool.

changing that now
How preppy is this school anyway?? Are we talking uniforms and stuff?? Cuz that's what boarding schools do right?? Make kids wear uniforms??
as for the mystery, I can't think that far ahead, personally, but i think there will be some mystery, I was only thinking surface level, I don't really know what's going on.
I say yes for uniforms too, But this is a rich kid school, so they may have more leeway, or less, I dunno, but there are prolly very stylish uniforms, no sweater vests and plaid skirts here, I say nice suits, prolly pale colored to show off the money
