About the Characters and Game

[Admin]

Player characters are now sophomores in high school (15 year olds, generally) in August, 2010 in a fictional city called Neptune in Michigan approximately half way between Ann Arbor and East Lansing (Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans).

In this world, there are no other heroes. You are just starting to get your powers and determine how to control them. Players will start with one power, whatever it is (ex. ice, fire, whatever).

The purpose of the game is to balance the high school experience with the potential heroing duties. (How would your character deal with being at the Homecoming Dance and potentially having to run out on your date to stop a baddy, for example?) Such are the decisions of a high school hero.

In Michigan, there is a December 1 cutoff for school. Therefore, freshmen should be born in 1995 barring being held back or missing the cutoff or in the case of someone very special, being advanced. Therefore, most freshmen will turn 15 in 2010, with the youngest (and most immature, likely) freshmen turning 14 at the beginning of the school year in 2009 (or soon after it starts).

There also are core curriculum requirements that must be fulfilled before graduation, which are located at the michigan.gov website if you're interested.
