[quote=@Expendable] I thought First Years were 15? Sorry. In England, you graduate from high school at 16, taking exams at the end of the school year for Advanced Levels (GCE A-Levels), Ordinary Levels (GCE O-Levels), and General Certificates of Secondary Education (GSE). 16 is also when you can get a job, enlist in the military (although I think the Brits are unique in that), and legally drink. Not sure how other European nations do schooling. Is this a private high school or a private college? Or a private academy with both a high school and college program? [/quote] I'm going to be real with you here. I don't know much about how schooling is done in Europe and I'm not super keen on trying to dig into learn how it is done. While I do want the RP to be something that people spend time on making a good story, I also want it to be fun and not work. And for me, that means assuming that this is a private school that follows American ideas of schooling because I'm a lazy America who only understands k-12 lingo. lmao. I apologize if that comes across rude or makes you lose interest but I really just want something fun and casual. To answer, I'd also imagine this is an academy with both high school and college programs. So, let's assume it's an international school? idk. [quote=@Izurich] Took the words right out of my mouth, I think we can have a minus or plus one year wiggle room. Someone who entered the school earlier, right on 'schedule', or later, so then we'll have 15, 16, or 17 as PC age choices, quite the range if you ask me. Then, of course, they'll grow up over the course of the RP with each school year. This isn't even including "outliers" such a genius prodigy who started really early or a delinquent who began quite late, both cases I've seen happened IRL. All in all, I wouldn't worry about being too restrictive in IC age choices. [s]Unless someone wants to play a 50-year-old first year or somethin'...[/s] [/quote] Lol, fair enough. We can say characters should be between the ages of 15 and 17, unless otherwise approved by the GM.
