Basically, there's this school where talented teenagers from across the globe go to. The school is home to the ever popular reality show Noctis TV. In it, the more views a student gets on their feed, the higher their popularity rank- blip rank. Higher popularity rank=more money, more fame, less of a chance of getting kicked out of school. The Sicariorum are the most popular kiddos but do bad bad things in order to make money and other good stuff. They have the school backing them up though so they're untouchable....

Noctis Academy is the most prestigious, exclusive school for the arts. Most get in through natural talent; others enter the school through bribes and connections. The main reason the school receives so many applications is due to the fact that the school is the notorious for bringing its students into the limelight. Whatever talent the teenagers own, most students enroll into Noctis for two reasons: fame and fortune.
Every action that the students make throughout the day is televised across the nation on one of the most popular reality shows: Noctis TV. The show became an overnight sensation with its innovative, interactive system in which one could pick any student of their liking and choose to watch their feed unfiltered. Students, in turn, would have an increase in their blip rank-- a rank that raises with increased views on their feed. The more popular students have ads littered throughout their feed, causing them to gain a fraction of the money that advertisers paid. Some are even allowed to receive gifts from their devoted viewers.
Students' blip rank is what the school thrives around; the lower the blip rank, the more likely of a chance that you will get booted out of Noctis, leaving behind any chances of future. This is why most -and if not all- of the students will do anything to increase their popularity. Backstabbing and revenge are seen as nothing more than formalities at this school. Liars settle into sockets; flip the switch and watch them run. Lying and deception are your best friends in this school. If you want to be at the top, you have to step on others to make it.
If you want to start a fight, you better throw the first punch. Make it a good one.

The Sicariorum make up what every school has and needs in order to function: Elites. No one truly knows when they came to be, but Sicariorum have prospered for many decades. The Elites, unlike regular students, have a separate dorm just for themselves. They receive the most money from ads placed on their feeds, and their blip ranks never go below twenty. Rumors often circulate on how to join their ranks, but there has never been a proven way to be at the very top. If only they knew of the malevolence circulating the members.

The only requirement of being initiated into Sicariorum is to have one of the lowest blip ranks; the reason being that those at the bottom will do anything to make their way to the top. Only few of the students that are selected actually join Sicariorum. Those that survive are the victors. They gain the strength they needed in order to surpass their peers. There are only several rules of maintaining a spot as an elite, but if a member breaks one, they are eliminated. Everyone is replaceable.
"How far are you willing to go to be at the top?"
"I-I'll do anything."
"Even if you had a chance of dying? Even if you had to kill?"
"I said anything, didn't I?"
The first job is usually never easy for new members. The reward, however, is more gratifying than one would think. Every member chose to throw away their ethics for different reasons. Some needed money to pay for their mother's hospital bills, some needed drugs to stay sane, and some do it just for entertainment. Sicariorum members can have almost anything they dream of. Champagne, cocaine, gasoline and most things in between. Sycophants on velvet sofas, lavish mansions, vintage wine.
Unbeknownst to many viewers of Noctis TV, there is an after hours feed in which members of Sicariorum complete rather sinister tasks in order to receive large sums of money and/or gifts that students normally would not be allowed to receive. They are, of course, allowed to reject any task, but it is in their best interest that they complete as many missions as possible.
Once an Elite, always an Elite. There is no way out.
