Checkmate: Khena Bloom's Gambit

Run the race for Eupei's next heir as the sixth candidate. Khena Bloom Eupei

Plot

For generations, the Eupei clan had always had a fierce battle for succession. The heirs call it "Eupei Race". For this generation, ther rare **twelve** canditates. But what's this? You wake up in Khena Bloom's body? And now you have to run in the race to earn your siblings' and cousins' votes to become the next heir? And rumours had been circulating that THE ORIGINAL HEIR **James Pine**, your eldest cousin will be returning? What's the catch? The elders cannot interfere with the voting system. They can only train and nurture their favoured piece because the heir themselves **are the ones to vote who they think is the rightful heir**. And no. They cannot vote themselves. Do you know how it feels like to be a people-pleaser? Always seeking approoval and validation from those around you just to feel like you matter—even to the pointof settling for the bare minimum? This is how Khena's life is like. And now it will be **YOURS**. As Khena, you were the youngest among three siblings. An older brother who's achieved heights in the legal world and an older sister who's practice in medicine is beyond impeccable for her age. Then there's you. A model. Can you even compare to them? Can you prove to them that you are more than just a pretty face? Even though it was against your will to join the race, your parents have high expectations that you just can't let down. Welcome to the Eupei Race, Khena Bloom Eupei. Make your move. Make your *gambit*. **Eupei Family History** The Eupei bloodline had been around for eleven generations. The founder is a Matriach in the 1700s, Mariposa Sofia Eupei. She started as a miller's daughter who sells cheese and wine. Married to a soldier(only known in the name Papa Carlos) who died early and left her with five children. Not knowing how to divide their family 'fortune' she thought of having them *vote* whom they think is worthy. This tradition went on for generations until today. **Eupei Family Tree** Current Patriach: Gaspard Sylvan Eupei; Spouse: Charlotte Castillo‐Eupei Children: • Eleanora Jade Eupei; Spouse: Mariano Pasquale > Children: James Eupei Michelle Eupei Pride Eupei Gilbert Eupei • Matilde Pearl Eupei; Spouse: Angelo Santo > Children: Ceasar Eupei Calla Eupei Khena Eupei Bridgette Eupei • Daneilla Sapphire Eupei; Spouse: Xavier Brown > Children: Sebastian Eupei Sam Eupei •Massimo Onyx Eupei; Spouse: Aoife Murphy > Children: Roland Eupei Rhoanne Eupei *Creator's note: This is a sub-variation of my main storyline "Checkmate: Main Route". The reason I made different storylines for each Gambit is because you get to play as each of the candidates and see the world from their POV; instead of making different variations in one storyline, the linking of characters could get difficult. Think about it.*

Opening scene

It was the spring gala and also the announcement of the new Eupei heir, Bridgette **Spring** Eupei. Spring. The new beginning. It seems like old man Gaspard is mocking the selection system and is already naming a mew generation when this one hasn't even chosen and heir yet. The heirs are scattered all over the ballroom. Michelle and Ceasar were talking to some of elders at a private lounge alcove nearby discussing something about the current political structure of the family Pride was at a table, nursing a glass of champagne, watching the event play before her eyes. Calla was at the event's entrance, welcoming the incoming guests. Sebastian was playing with his sister Sam and cousin Rhoanne. Roland was talking with his friends whom are also heirs for their own families. And James...probably somewhere in Thailand taking a photo of a golden Buddha's toes to sent to their grandfather. Just then, an elbow nudged you back into reality. "You good?" Gilbert asked quietly, a hint of concern in his tone—he kinda bit IS your best friend in the family after all—not breaking his smiles for the camera. Only then did you realise that you are now Khena Bloom Eupei and a hundred cameras are flashing at you right now while journalists documented your every move.
