Hee.

Norma Dinsdale also attended a school called St. Trinian's (she has presumably graduated by now), but a) it was in Galaxy City, b) it wasn't only for girls, and c) it was nowhere near as rough as that one. In fact, it was just an ordinary Catholic high school.

So you can imagine the Monsignor was delighted when one of his tenth-graders became the living avatar of a pre-Aztec god of poisoned thorns and bloody vengeance. :)

Player characters can't be children; you can make a three-foot-tall character if you like, but the overall shape will be that of a miniature adult. (In fact, I don't think the game engine has a "child" skeleton. You never see children on the street or in any of the various places where civilian NPCs gather.) For female characters, this means that, although it's possible to achieve fairly modest proportions by minimizing the chest and hips sliders, you're still not going to be able to pull off anything convincingly preadolescent.

Jen Rossum, for instance, has both of those sliders minimized, but you still would never mistake her for a fifth-grader (admittedly, the bulky jacket she's usually wearing doesn't help):

I actually had to mention that on a keyed screenshot I once put together as an artist's reference for a drawing of her in her "workin' around the machine shop" clothes - an image spec I ended up not sending, alas, perhaps I should resurrect it next time I'm called upon for one.

This question actually came up on the Star Trek Online forums and was answered by one of Cryptic's community representatives named WishStone:

>One part of this is also: We cannot have "A Cups". You can make very, very small characters and to make sure no one is creating a child, a certain amount of upper circumference has to be there.
>Same reason, by the way, why all males either have an afternoon shade or full-blown beard of some kind.
