Before we can start RPing (which we can't do till we get a few more characters anyways) we need to settle a few minor details that were never adressed (to my knowledge) in the books.
for instance, ages. The basic time frame is right after book 23 and the Hork-Bajir Chronicles. In my opinion, the Animorphs would probably be 15 at this point (some of the younger ones might still be 14) Anyone else have an oppinion on that? Please don't be afraid to speak up.
Also, there's the matter of the school setup. Now, when I was 15, I was only a freshman, I know that some freshman (MOST freashman) start the year off at 14. So, I was thinking that the Animorphs are probably either freshman or sophomores in highschool. The minor detail I'm looking for, is what grades are in the highschool? In some systems they put the 7 and 8th graders in the highschool building, should that be the case here? All oppinions are welcome.
Ok, another thing, is exact age differences between like, siblings and stuff. My guess would be that Tom is in college. But as far as Sarah and Jordan compare to RAchel, I'm not sure. I know Jordan is older than Sarah, so maybe like 13, 14? And Sarah is quite a bit younger than Rachel, so maybe in the 8,9,10 range? Again, any opinions are welcome.
Anyone who thinks of any other little details that need sorted out, feel free to post them on this thread.

I do believe, if my logic doesn't fail me now, that we should have the the lower 7th and 8th grades in the school. It would allow more interaction between characters of those ages, thus alot more easy to find a good RP, if you get my drift about things. Basically it'd keep all of the things open.

That was pretty much what I was thinking too.

I must agree. Plus Tia's a senior, since I've decided that she failed freshman year anyway. It'll be in her "how she became a Yeerk ect." stuff.

I see, alright then.
Any thoughts on the sibling-age relation things? I'm thinking Tom is probably about 20 or so....but whatever.

Er... I 'unno. I mean, Tia to Dessan is 18 to 14... That's about the same, really.

Yeah. Four years difference is not that bad.

Ok...so...Tom's maybe like 19. That works. He'd still be in college then, somewhere close to home though. So he wouldn't have to leave the Yeerk pool behind. Lol

My character is a little older than the 'main' characters (17) So, perhaps she would be something of a neighbor to one of them?! Just that way she has a reason to actually know a few younger people? Dunno, just throwing ideas.

Well, like, maybe she could be Dessan/Tia's neighbor or something? *shrug* Either that or she could know them through someone or something.

Religion, perhaps, or like their grandparents were really good friends... or a youth group... or... or... their dad was the others' uncles cousin's best friend's former roommate?

It's "father's, Brother's Nephew's former roommate" I think XD I love Spaceballs!
And yeah...maybe her parents work with one of the Animorphs parents or something...Like her dad could work for the same Law firm as Naomi (Rachel's mom) or something...

Perfect. If you check out the Character profiles on the official website, there should be the names of the Animorphs' parents under each of the Animorphs' profiles, along with what carreer their parents have, I think. So you can pic a job for your parent ^^

Well if she just moved in I suppose Tia should drag her butt, along with Dessan's, over to your house or somethin'...
