Cheat thread to the Chinese dynasties -

XIA: School founder you see on plaques and statues everywhere but you have no idea what they actually did

SHANG: Early principle who appears in black and white photos, but you hear a lot of tea about how he was horrible and problematic

ZHOU: Prim and proper principle who was principle FOREVER, so long that he got too old to command respect and the school turned to chaos

QIN: Emo bullied goth kid who terrorizes the whole school and murders basically everyone with a knife, gets promptly arrested

WESTERN HAN: First commoner student council president after the school turns from private to public because all the rich kids got murdered

XIN: Random kid who gets elected prez after Western Han graduates, but fucks up so badly that he gets impeached like 5 days into his term

EASTERN HAN: Western Han's brother who becomes the next prez. People barely notice the difference.

THREE KINGDOMS: The 3 candidates who pop up when Eastern Han is about to graduate.

Shu Han, cousin of the previous Hans, is the one tired kids want, Wu is the one party kids want, but Eastern Han is coerced into endorsing the ruthless Wei

JIN: Puts laxatives in the Three Kingdoms' drinks the day of the election and shadily steals the whole thing

Jin's stunning upset pisses people off so badly that the school quickly descends into anarchy again.

SUI: The one who finally brings the school back together after months of in-fighting, but very quickly turns out to be downright tyrannical as council prez

TANG: Sui's more chill and open-minded cousin. Casually slips into his position when a group of angry kids ambushes Sui on the way to school and sends him to the hospital. Turns out to be AMAZING at running the student council -

- makes the school so rich and tolerant that it gains respect from all other schools in the region and gains a ton of transfer students.

[WU ZHOU: Tang's girlfriend who fills in for him for a couple of days when he gets sick, is also amazing.]

SONG: Nerd who tries to pull the school together after the brief period of chaos following Tang's graduation, but isn't as commanding because he's too nerdy. Is the official council prez in name, but actually has to share power with tough kids Liao and Jin -

- Song gets stripped naked and shoved into a locker at one point. Is hella rich from selling answer keys though, so just pays them to get off his back.

YUAN: International student who trounces EVERYONE, including ???other schools???, into making him council prez. Straight up beat Song up and then threw him into the lake nearby.

MING: Quiet but beefy kid who chases Yuan out of the school after a few days of tyranny. Runs the student council well because of great council members, but keeps things very conservative and doesn't host any fun events

QING: Kid everyone thinks is an exchange student but is actually just from an underrepresented clique. Wins the election after Ming graduates solely bc the other candidates were too busy smearing each other. Languishes so much later on that the school gets outright demolished.

and that's it. you know chinese history now.
