NPC-OTHER KIDS

The Sanders Twins



Erica and Ben Sanders are 14-year-olds at Boulder City Junior/Senior High. They moved here from California, with the newest style and newest electronics. Their mom is a researcher at the Loop and dad is a doctor. Erica is insufferably smart and loves to lord that over the rest of the geeks at school, showing off her brand new Compaq Deskpro 386 whenever possible. A total teacher's pet that claims Boulder City lacks the intellectual stimulation that San Francisco offered. Ben is more on the jock side, star athlete in basketball and baseball, sporting the latest fashions in school (Ray Bans and a Members Only Jacket whenever possible). He has charmed most of the teachers at school. Both he and Erica are very deceptive bullies, able to cut down a kid with a nasty remark and play completely innocent to any adult that is brought into the fight.

Lucy Ackers

Lucy is a 15-year-old at Boulder City Junior/Senior High. She recently moved in a few weeks after school started. She's awkward, pushy, more than a little weird, and pretty annoying. She's yet to find her place in school, and hovers at the edge of every group, looking for a chance to jump into the conversation, only to often say something completely strange or inappropriate to the conversation. No one knows much about her home life, but the rumor is that she moved in with her Grandmother after issues at home.

Bullies (Randy, Joey, Darrel)

Notable school bullies are Randy (classic jock butthead) and his two lackies: Joey (skinny, gangly, with a ratface; a total yes man to Randy) and Darrel (held back twice in school, massive kid, football player).
