Character Profile: Juliana "Jules" Mercer Age: 19 Physical Appearance: Strikingly beautiful—the kind of beauty that turns heads in any room. She rivals the most elite of Ravensgate’s aristocracy. Dark, wavy hair that cascades past her shoulders, always effortlessly styled but never overdone. Sharp, intelligent eyes—a deep, piercing green that hold a mix of mischief and calculation. A smirk that can be playful or deadly, depending on who’s watching. 5’7”, lean yet curvaceous, moving with the kind of confidence that comes from knowing exactly who she is. Always impeccably dressed, favoring elegance over extravagance—tailored coats, silk blouses, a hint of luxury without looking like she’s trying. Title: The Unwritten Equation At Ravensgate University, where brilliance is currency and legacy is law, two first-year prodigies move through the same elite circles—not enemies, not friends, but certainly not strangers. After all, they share the same lecture halls, their names whispered in the same hushed conversations. But here, intelligence is not the only game played. Beneath the grandeur of academia lies a hidden world, ruled by an ancient brotherhood. Juliana "Jules" Mercer is a force wrapped in elegance—a beauty beyond compare, rivaling the most elite of Ravensgate’s aristocracy. But it’s her mind that truly captivates—razor-sharp, calculating, and always a step ahead. Raised in a world of diplomats and power brokers, she speaks the language of influence with effortless precision. Nathan "Nate" Carlisle is the enigma everyone wants to unravel. Charismatic yet unreadable, his brilliance is effortless, his presence impossible to ignore. He doesn’t chase admiration, yet it follows him—a fan club, even—though he remains indifferent to their adoration. His mind works in ways no one else’s does, unpredictable and impossible to pin down. Individually, they are formidable. Together, they are unstoppable. It is no surprise when The Order of the Black Ravens—Ravensgate’s most elusive and powerful secret society—chooses them as acolytes. The Order is more than an academic elite; it is the unseen hand that molds politicians, financiers, and power players of the world. To be chosen is to be tested, to be sharpened into something ruthless. The game they once played in lecture halls shifts to a much darker arena—one of coded messages, clandestine meetings, and trials that push the limits of intellect and loyalty. The campus watches, waiting, wondering—because two minds like theirs, now sworn to The Order, can only mean one thing: something dangerous is coming. But The Order demands more than brilliance. It demands submission, sacrifice, and a willingness to outmaneuver not just enemies, but friends. Jules and Nate must decide—are they allies in this, or is one destined to outplay the other? A slow-burning connection. A world that thrives on expectation. Two minds too sharp to be tamed. The Unwritten Equation—where the most dangerous thing at Ravensgate isn’t power or prestige. It’s them. Together.

Olivia "Liv" Beaumont – Appearance Description Liv Beaumont is the kind of girl who turns heads without trying—but she knows it, and she knows how to use it. There’s a natural confidence in the way she moves, in the way she carries herself, like she’s already won whatever game is being played. Age: 18 (College Freshman) Hair Color: A rich, warm golden brown with natural highlights that catch the light just right. Thick, soft waves that she styles effortlessly—sometimes sleek, sometimes tousled, but always perfect enough to look like she didn’t spend too much time on it. Eye Color: A striking, light hazel, shifting between gold and green depending on the lighting. Expressive, sharp—capable of pinning someone in place with a single glance. Her features are striking but not in an intimidating way—full lips, high cheekbones, and a softly defined jawline. Her skin has a sun-kissed glow, effortlessly radiant, like she just came back from a summer spent somewhere expensive. She has the kind of body that makes people stare, but she wears it with an ease that says she’s used to the attention. Curves in all the right places, toned in the way that suggests an active lifestyle rather than an obsession with working out. She dresses well—not to impress, but because she likes looking good. Her style is effortlessly put together, always polished but never overdone. Liv has an undeniable presence—when she walks into a room, people notice. Not just because of how she looks, but because of the energy she carries. She’s there, fully and completely, with the kind of confidence that makes people want to know her—or at the very least, know about her. Premise: "The Art of Indifference" Olivia "Liv" Beaumont has never met a challenge she couldn’t rise to. Top of her class, the school’s undisputed academic princess, and the kind of girl people either want to be or be with—she thrives on competition, conversation, and proving she’s the sharpest person in any room. Life, to her, is meant to be lived at full volume. Then there’s him. Elias Mercer doesn’t care. About grades, about people, about the unwritten rules of social hierarchies that seem to dictate campus life. He’s smart—annoyingly so—but he treats intelligence like an afterthought, something he has but refuses to wield. He doesn’t chase ambition, doesn’t care about recognition, and doesn’t play the games that everyone else is so desperate to win. Their first interaction is brief, forgettable to him, infuriating to her. Liv, used to being met with either admiration or intimidation, is caught completely off guard by his apathy. He barely glances at her, barely registers her presence before returning to his book, his thoughts, his disinterest. And that? That bothers her. It starts as curiosity—an itch she can’t quite scratch. Who is he? Why doesn’t he care? What does it take to make someone like Elias feel something? She pokes and prods, throwing challenge after challenge at him. Debates, dares, intellectual battles that should force him to engage. Sometimes he humors her. Sometimes he doesn’t. But Liv, for all her brilliance, doesn’t realize she’s playing a different game entirely. Because Elias isn’t as indifferent as he seems. He sees her—sees the way she commands attention, the way she needs to win. And somewhere along the way, her persistence shifts from an amusement to an inevitability. She starts to matter. She gets under his skin in ways no one ever has. And Liv? She’s in deeper than she ever expected. Because Elias Mercer might not care about the world, but for some reason, he starts to care about her. And once that happens? Neither of them is prepared for what comes next.
