This RP takes place in 2013. That either means one of two things. You can add to your age. For example my age is 18 currently, this RP takes place 4 years from now. So I can add four years to my age and become 22 or I can stay 18. Like bending time kinda. It doesn't matter much, you just get to pick your current age or choose to add four years. This Rp also takes place in a fictional city called Cooper City. It will not just be confined to this city but this is where we start out.
