Hi folks, Jacen here. I'll be your co-GM for this particular roleplay, and I'll be available for most things. If you have any questions about rules/posting, and hopefully we don't have to get here...but problems with another RPer or their posts, please contact me if you have any questions and concerns. I'll be busy this weekend, but I will respond to things when I get back to the best of my ability. We're all here to have fun, play our characters, and flesh out a great story!
As far as age, while I realize Jacen may SEEM a bit young for the field he works in...that's actually the element of realism at work here. I personally know and have known people around that age and younger with internships or summer jobs that work in the IT/Systems field. One of them being a family member who did it while in high school. Another thing to keep in mind is that Microsoft Technology Certification is not age restricted, so him being smart enough/having credentials to get this particular job actually is somewhat possible in the real world. Jacen as a character is influenced not only by fictional characters, but people and events in my life. Just to avoid any confusion, Jacen's background is rather fortunate...in most universes, his father heads a weapons/technology firm that handles government and law enforcement accounts, so that handles the money/college aspect of things.
If possible, we can say this is taking place after/on his birthday. That way, he'll be an even 20.
Also, this is a roleplay...so while realism in character ages is encouraged(19-25 for safety), please don't feel like you have to limit your character's work or experiences based on age alone. This is designed to be a fun, relaxed roleplay so please take a few liberties with your character in that respect. Anyway, that's all I've got. Looking forward to RPing with you all!
