RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist#PennedPossibilities 967 — What level of education do your characters have?
Day angel Bolt barely started her senior year in high school when she fled from the law.
Pigeon the Pilferer on the other wing actually graduated, though mostly it was thanks to the school nurse he had a crush on mending the punk-in-training.
Blue graduated, but now as a praetorian he is getting officer training. Bolt taught him to fly tandem.
Shugh completed college to become a journalist, rare for men who go into trades in the short term and then childcare, the societal norm. He gets lots of sexist pushback from coworkers.
Molt was in his first year of Men's Studies at university.
The devil-girl finished fourth grade when her guardian connived to have her tutored instead, causing her to be schooled or physically trained every waking hour—until she ran away. Since then, she's self-taught, often found studying, working out, sometimes shadowboxing.
Rainy Days wrote many of the books, and certainly the history books, thought at the time of her youth women were preferred illiterate. She taught herself to read with her autistic brother's help, and he taught her miracle work with which she conquered the world. She's technologically immortal, but her memories often fade so she's always learning anew.
