I'm posting this in the roleplay forum because it most affects roleplayers, but it's enough related to lore that should anyone that doesn't roleplay have an opinion about what their player-made Titan City setting include may want to chime/weigh in on the subject.

For starters, I'd like to state that I am not an active volunteer nor am I trying to drum up ideas for the lore group, I'm simply trying to establish how some of us think and what we would see as reasonable given certain pieces of information. I respect that some may be bound by NDA to say anything.

Something that was lacking in CoX lore was npc children, save for one little girl in founder's falls that sold some SO enhancements. The extension of this is that there was no content covering how kids that were mutant in origin dealt with their powers manifesting, whether mutant children had a private school for gifted youngsters, or if everyone in Paragon City had been so overexposed to superpowers that kids with them was just a natural expectation. Outside of player-written bios for kid-hero, kid-villain, or mutant origins, nothing existed. Marvel has the lovely box-and-bow excuse "have Cerebro pick them up and draft them to go to XSFGY, happily ever after, the end." The movie Sky High claimed that all kids with powers went on a flying magic school bus into the clouds to attend hero-high-school, relegating some to sidekick and others to elite hero.

This is (will be) a city that is awash with superpowers. There will be generational families and Kid-flashes and young robins and superboys and whatnot. Where will they go to school? Is anyone planning to have a special school for supers? Will anyone say once the super powers manifest the kid gets a pass from education? Will civilians and mutant/kid heroes still attend the same high school dealing with supernatural teenage drama? If there are private schools, will there be civillian only schools, gadget/tech/science private schools vs. magic/mutant/science private schools vs civilian only private schools? How would you expect a metro city council to approach the subject? one type of public school for each level? heroes' and villains' children forced into the same classrooms?

What are the community's thoughts and plans for this?

Personal opinion and my take on things:
When I was coming up with a Titan City resident's backstory (not a cox refugee for example) I had whirled up the idea that in the public school systems, especially in the areas that are lower income, the student body would consist of all three hero villain and civilian. There would be groups formed of heroes to protect the civilians from the power-weilding future villain bullies terrorizing the civilian children. the schools would be the L0, L0.5, L0.75 zones of what we see in the world as adults, but there was an added facet: the gifted kids and mutants that don't want to become a hero OR a villain, but just want to make alternative day-job careers that may or may not use their mutant or inherited or other gifts.
