Little Things to be Known

- All the characters know each other. They have all been growing up in the same area and communities, mainly been going to the same schools and the student body is fairly small, so there shouldn’t be any “I can’t believe we’ve been going to school for the past three years together and I never met you!” interactions. If that interaction is going to happen with anyone it will be with freshman (only if the interaction is between a freshman and upperclassman) or newbies (who are rare the higher up the grades you go).

- Also be careful to make sure your characters are diverse in ages and majors. Trust me when I say it gets boring fast RPing 6 senior art students.

- Students at the academy already seem to have a great sense of what they want to do with their lives. At the end of their freshman year students choose their major have completing all general education requirements. It is rare that any student will change with major. Student may have hobbies and interests outside their chosen major but there is seldom opportunity to take classes for these interests as the paths for the chosen majors leave little room to do so.
