Hi Britt! Welcome to Genome! We are excited that you are here, and trying out online rpgs with us! I'm Alissa, one of the mods of the game, and I've got probably... idek how many characters (8 maybe?). I'll just focus on the ones that Hiro would know.
My characters in the same age group as Hiro are Rielle (this journal), Wes (flaminghot) and Jack (trebleandbass). All three go to one of the public schools in the city. Only Rielle has a power, but her parents paid for it for her. She has lie detection. Jack is in the band Corporate Lobotomy and is becoming pretty well known around the city as the band gains popularity. They play a gig every Friday night at a local club, that makes the shows 18+ (though it's easy to sneak in if you're a girl, or know the band). It would be pretty easy for any of them to run into Hiro, or know her from something.
I also have Evan Elwood. He is the new headmaster at Wyrd Haven. When the new year starts in September, he will be the new history teacher as well. But for now, he'll just be the headmaster.
Last (well not last, but last that Hiro will know) is Tino Spinelli. Tino is the soccer coach over at Wyrd, and he might be convinced to be the PE teacher as well. He wants to start getting more involved at the school. His girlfriend and mother of his children just left him, so he's having a hard time living his life at the moment.
Anyways, welcome again! Hope you have fun here. =]
