During that time his UM developed and the kidnappers started abusing his UM to obtain money, forgetting about the idea of asking for a ransom.

@fluff-pink-fox : 10 random facts about Gabriel? 👀
Ooooh hiii ! @fluff-pink-fox
10 facts about Gabriel Chevalier :
- A guy who likes power, or at least the idea of power. Doesn't want the responsibilities that come with it.
- Likes doing cruel pranks but his butt is often kicked by Geneviève and Fabian because of his chaotic ways.
- He won't hesitate to sabotage someone if it can help him get more power. Also can be cruel if given authority, but you won't notice it unless he targets you.
- His favorite genre of music is Eurobeat, he managed to convert Malvina to it when she was giving him driving lessons.
-He tried to challenge Fidelis for the position of Choir Division leader with a Rap Battle but he lost spectacularly. Cater filmed the whole scene and it got pretty popular on Magicam.
- He is only serious when it concerns his studies, a fact that surprises many people. He doesn't tolerate idiocy and prefers to partner up with his more studious classmates.
- Mars is his half-brother ! They don't get along that much, and try to stay out of each other's way. However it's actually one sided because Mars is often around to stop Gabriel from causing too much trouble.
- He has a different father from Mars, but he still uses the Chevalier family name because it has more prestige.
- Secretly reads Orion's poetry and tries to use it as pick up lines. However, he can't correctly pull off the princely vibes.
- Geneviève had a brief crush on him at the start of the year, but it faded when she saw how he actually was.
Bonus!
- His type is someone who has power and knows that he only wants the power they hold. But they still love him. And the fool (Gabriel) gets attached.

Orion Ronsard:
- Eleusis Kagathos, his older brother. They used to be very close. But they both changed, it doesn't mean they aren't trying to be friendly with each other again.
- Anatolia Ronsard, his older sister, she is the one who takes care of his finances because if she didn't, Orion would be too broke after spoiling all of his large family with lavish gifts.
- Ondina Ronsard, his descendant, he is also the one who raised her after the death of her parents.
- Plato Ronsard, it's been a while since he saw his oldest child... But the two of them get along ! When they see each other, they can talk for hours !

Ondina Ronsard:
- Orion Ronsard, her ancestor, she calls him “Grandfather” and inherited some of his mannerisms ( saltiness, rhyming skills, pacifism)
- Eleusis Kagathos, she calls him Uncle. They met recently but they get along very well, they have long debates about many things.
- Anatolia Ronsard, the first time she met her Great-Aunt, Ondina was defeated in chess and took it badly. She respects her but is still a bit scared.
- Fidelis Gringoire one of the distant cousins she is very close with. Went with Orion to search for Fidelis when he was kidnapped.
- Winona Shelby, the oldest sister of her ancestor, spent the summer after her first year at NRC at the Shelby house. Felt close with her.
- Polaris Campbell, it’s headache to friends...( to lovers ? ). They knew each other before attending NRC.
- Malvina Shelby, the older sister of her ancestor, Ondina considers her the saner Shelby. Ondina critics a lot how Malvina's food looks but also says that at least it tastes delicious.
- Sabrina Shelby, the older sister of her ancestor, the insane Shelby. Before Samara, Sabrina tried to corrupt Ondina with chaos.
- Samara Al-Asim, low-key jealous of how easily she can make friends. Also hates her chaotic side and how she hangs out a lot with Orion.
- Dionisio Montjoie, the guy who helped find Fidelis when he was kidnapped. One of the rare guys she is openly worried about when he gets sick.
- Virginie Viollet, finds her so fragile but with potential. Ondina decided to help her get back her title from her uncle, only because her parent's death is linked to the Uncle.
Fidelis Gringoire:
- Dionisio Montjoie, his beloved boyfriend. Fidelis is always here to take care of Dionisio when he’s sick. Dionisio is one of the persons who saved him when he was kidnapped.
- Orion Ronsard, his ancestor. He first met him after being kidnapped because his parents had a strained relationship with him before. It got better now because they were grateful Orion found him.

- Gabriel Chevalier, his third in command. Fidelis silently disapproves of how he gained that title, so he threw him at more “honest” people to make him change (Malvina, Polaris and Orion, the hunting trio)
- Mars Chevalier, Fidelis was surprised to see Mars transfer from Diasomnia to Godspyre. They both drink alcohol together in secret in the catacombs of the dorm on the weekends.

- Geneviève Viollet, he is grateful that he is wealthy, because his wallet won’t suffer from the amount of food Gen’ brings for the Choir division with his money.
- Malvina Shelby, they both like cars and do car races against each other during the holidays. Malvina often wins but Fidelis doesn’t mind. She sometimes replaces him when he teaches members of his dorm how to drive.
I also made a pinterest board for them: https://www.pinterest.fr/uwontgetmyname/the-choir-division/
The choir division of Godspyre, the fandorm belongs to @godspyredorms ! And here they are !
They are twisted from the Bells of Notre-Dame and are a group of students who practice singing together, always at the same hour precisely.
Now little presentation of them all under the cut !
UM: Match made in heaven, this avid shipper has a magic that helps him see the world as a Soulmate AU. He sees the bonds that the people have with each other and can see if people could get along with someone they don't know (yet). He will then try to help them talk to each other.
Fidelis Gringoire, 3rd year, the leader of this group ! Also the oldest and the wealthiest. He is twisted from "La Fidèle" , the bell of the second movie. Fidelis is one of Orion's descendants and inherited his generous personality, it's him who pays for everyone when they go out to eat something. He owns an expansive car that he drives himself and the Choir Division uses it to go on trips. He also likes playing matchmaker, especially when he sees two people pining for each other.
Race: Human
Age: 21
From: The Land of Hot Sands
UM: Miracle Worker, it permits him to continue his task no matter his state or his injuries.
Dionisio Montjoie, 3rd year and 21 years old. He is another old guy in the dorm and Fidelis' boyfriend. They met before entering NRC and he believes that he has been accepted in NRC thanks to the money of the Gringoire family. It's not the case. This is why he does his best to work hard and be an exemplary student of Godspyre, he is the kind of guy to always attend classes even if he is sick. And he gets sick a lot. This is the reason why he refused the position of second and even third in command of the Choir division.
Race: Human
Age: 21
From : The Land of Pyroxene
UM: Hold my beer , he is able to turn a liquid (example olive oil) into another liquid (example water). He is powerful enough to turn a lake with water into a lake of wine.
Mars Chevalier, 3rd year. A man who always has his eyes closed. You could consider him the carefree and cool older senpai. He has a lot of knowledge about wine and is able to distinguish a cheap one from an expansive one with one look. This ability also works with regular objects, he knows when an item can be sold at an expansive price, but he’d rather hoard them or exchange them with bottles of wine. His eyes open only when he has to look at wine or when the situation is very serious. He was a member of Diasomnia during his first two years, but pressure from his family made him transfer to Godspyre.
Race: Half human, half ???
Age: 18
From: The Valley of Thorns
UM: Full of Grace, permits her to teleport in any place she has seen at least once. She can't use it for discretion because when she uses it, there is a blinding white light all around her.
Virginie Viollet, 2nd year. A shy woman despite her status as a noble, especially around people she doesn't know. She still wants to make more friends but has no idea of how to do it. She is very motherly with the people she knows and started becoming more open during her second year, when Geneviève, her cousin, was accepted in Godspyre. Virginie managed to become the second in command of the choir division because of her calm attitude even in situations of great stress, a trait that she also revealed during her second year.
The future Grand Duchess of her country, for now her uncle is the regent and her legal guardian, but she will inherit the title after her graduation. She suspects her uncle of trying to take over the title but she has to act inoffensive for now.
Race: Human
Age: 17
From: The Mount of Sacraments (fan made country )
UM: Baptism by Fire, she got this unique magic during her second year (so she doesn't have it yet) , and it makes her able to create a very hot purple fire. It's much stronger the first time she uses it on someone but after she has to train to make it as strong as it was the first time.
Geneviève Viollet, 1st year. The most cheerful choir member and also the one who likes talking with students of other dorms. She is the kind of person who will try to get you out of trouble with someone by distracting the person by causing more trouble.
Her father was an architect who raised her alone when she was a child. He later became the regent of the Grand Duchy and is now using a lot of money remodeling the capital to his liking.
Race: Human
Age: 16
From : The Mount of Sacraments
UM: A Cappella, a bit similar to Mars, he can turn a sound (example bells ) into another one (example goat sounds ) .
Gabriel Chevalier, 1st year. He is Mars' half-brother and his relaxed attitude is very insincere contrary to his older brother. Gabriel likes being in a position of power and if he is not, he will try to prank the one in the position. He is also the kind of person to leave someone if they have a problem he can't solve.
Race: Human

New chara: * a picrew for now *
Fabian Rinn, a 2nd year that transferred from RSA to NRC because his family wanted him to keep an eye on the Campbell siblings. The reason why ? His grandfather is also their grandfather, even if the Campbells refuse to speak to the Rinn family after they tried to take Pleiade when she was born. Fabian is the only heir of the family and he was adopted when he was a child. The old man Rinn hates that fact and would prefer that one of his ‘real’ grandchildren inherit the title.
Fabian also tried to be the third in command of the choir division but sabotage from Gabriel stopped him from getting the position. He usually is a very helpful and chivalrous guy but everything he does seems to fail because Gabriel is always behind to disrupt his work.
I made some choir people for the Hunchback of Notre-Dame inspired dorm, @eglieudorms ! And the others are coming !
But for now, here are two of them and their names have a bit changed since I showed them on discord !
They are twisted from two of the Bells of Notre-Dame ! The boy, named Fidelis Gringoire, from the bell in the second movie + a little bit of a character in the original book and the girl, named Virginie Viollet from a real bell of the cathedral.
Fidelis is a 3rd year and he is 21. Also, a descendant of Orion (another oc of mine) and he is teased a lot by his distant cousin Ondina. He has a powerful voice when furious, but it happens rarely.
Virginie is a 2nd year and she is 17. She is very timid and she gets flustered easily when someone compliments her voice. She is too shy to interact with people from other dorms.
This choir division is, pretty close to each other and all twisted from the bells. They have a daily singing session that happens always at the same time and has never been cancelled in all those years. After the practice they always go eat ice cream as a way to bond. Virginie is actually the one who had the idea for the ice cream outings. And it's usually Fidelis who pays for everyone.
