Jacob tries to keep his powers a secret, but that is not that easy, given their somewhat obvious nature (body temperature and hardness).

Edit: What about my above question?

Daisy-Lynn is keeping it a secret, both to her father and her friends. She's afraid that if people find out, she's going to be branded as a freak and a misfit.

Art immediately will set to putting together a super-identity/costume, realising that people probably won't just let him walk around with a sword, but they might overlook the sword if the rest of his outfit is outlandish enough...and he is fighting crime/helping people.

Which other PCs are in high school?

Shalimar · Aug 25, 2008

Carly is a high school student, and her mom is the School Therapist/ Guidance Councilor

Edgar "just" graduated high school (and maybe a freshman in community collage depending on what season of the year the game is set).

Walking Dad · Aug 25, 2008

Jacob is also a senior (on highschool).

Cool. I envisioned Arthur as being just about to graduate High School, so the same age as Jacob and, depending on when the game is set, Edgar.

Wouldn't it be funny if we all confided our powers in the school councilor? That might be an interesting common thread.

Should Jacob, Arthur, and Edgar (and anyone else who is Senior Aged) have had a class together/have a class together?

Maybe a Senior-Year British Lit. class that focused on exploring Heroic Archetypes throughout Brit. Lit? (Beowulf, Arthurian Legend, Medieval Romances, Byronic/Romantic Heroes, etc.)

That way we wouldn't be instant friends, but we would have a common background.

Considering that most if not all of the characters are highschool age, I'm fine with making Edgar into a Highschool Senior opposed to a being a Collage freshman. Besides for being in a class with some of the upperclassmen, Edgar could be also be in an art class with some of the underclassmen (since art classes tend to be open to everyone regardless of class standing).

Since Edgar's background has him living in an apartment, the easy way to explain that would be that his mom is one of those "You're 18 now, pay rent or move out" types and rather then paying her rent, or moving out of town to live with his dad, he decided to rent a loft from his employer.

Art class would be cool, as Jacob is in sculpting.
