I'd also be interested in joining, if there's still room.

And I know that technically the Wards team has already been chosen, but I might have an idea or two around it.

Speaking of which, what's your stance on a PC that's older and more experienced?

Or for a recently captured delinquent given an option to turn life around.

Several things.

1): Yes, there's still room. Mintz likes to do very large groups.

2): The Wards team is not completely finalized or anything. I'm guessing the GM will just edit the list the Director is looking at to include any new additions, or they can just leave it as is. The wording of that scene can also be taken to mean the Director is too mentally exhausted to want to read all the way through the list.

3): Generally speaking, he only wants Wards-age people. There's one exception that is still in the Wards for very particular reasons, and there's one Vigilante that isn't a Ward (who is only under consideration and might not ever be actually accepted). It's not recommended to go for older. This is supposed to be a Wards-centered RP. So, in terms of "older", realize that the cap is still basically Wards age. Also realize that you aren't exactly going to be able to play some "senior/more experienced" type so easily in a group comprised at least halfway of 17 year-olds. (the age scale for the group is vastly tilted to the older end of things)

In terms of "experienced", that's less of an issue. You can have them be as experienced and hardened as you want, so long as they still end up in the Wards for some reason. We have characters that have been active as long as 2-5 years before the present.
This AU has this being the very first generation of the Wards initiative, so you have plenty of breathing room for having a character that was left to their own devices for the most part before now.

4): "Recently captured delinquent" at least partially describes multiple of the current characters, and for at least one of them, it's completely nose-on. So, yeah, you could totally do this without issue.
