So am I correct in assuming that our characters have to be teens? I was thinking of RPing as a teacher, grad student, or an old archaeologist. Would that be possible or would prefer that I not do it?

Under normal circumstances, this would likely be the case. But this is far from normal. The world is essentially populated by living robots. While each having their own kinks and charms to them, they all have a role provided by the heavenly host and they all obey it to a tee. They are raised with this in mind, and are successfully educated for their occupation with this in mind.

Feeling there was no need to complicate anything with the education system, and what have you, have been streamlined for that purpose. Oh you could be given a choice to hop from one rail to another throughout your life, but you just "know" you've always felt like being a brain surgeon. Your conscience tells you it's the right job to be in, and it is [i]never wrong.[/i]

"Continue school after learning what you need to? Why? You have the knowledge you need, and you found a job offering to boot. So why not just be the surgeon you [i]strove[/i] to be?"

Because of this streamlined railway of life: Grad Students, at least technically, do not exist in this current world.

"College students" (More specifically, "Undergraduates"), on the other hand, as a "Mandatory fourth stage of education"? That's a different story. ;)

There IS a teacher who likely fell into the cavern with the class, but that's a position I am preserving for someone when he comes along here.

As for an old Archaeologist...I have considered that possibility before. Given how the world works, I suppose there's no reason NOT to accept one in this case. (Besides any obvious RPing reason, of course.)
