Boseman Student Generation

Okay, posting my initial thoughts on the questions. Let me know your thoughts on it. Details may still change. They usually do at least when the game starts, but for a general feel, I was thinking something like this:

---

Zachary Tidwell has moved into Boseman with his family over the summer break. After coming out as trans three years ago, he has finally been able to start hormone therapy about a year ago and he has managed to convince his parents to allow him a new start in a new town where nobody knew him before. His goal is to go stealth, without any of his peers knowing that he is trans, despite how difficult that still is for him at this stage.
His parents have made a deal with the school to help out with this, though the fact that official documentation still lists him as Janina and as female means that he's constantly dreading that info coming out. He also hasn't had top surgery, so he relies on binders and on skipping sports or any other opportunity that might force him to get out of the thick hoodies he dresses in whenever possible.
He's smart and does well in school but is somewhat uncomfortable socially as he doesn't feel like he can freely express himself. His interests are artistic and musical, he loves theater, but in order to try and fit in (and avoid accusations of being gay or questioning of his masculinity), he often sticks to the most masculine guys he can find and may try to match the behavior of the tough boys around him, including mimicking their bigotry.
Zach's parents care a lot about him. They're constantly concerned about him and will try to coddle and protect him as much as possible. They're good people, as much as this change is still difficult for them and even causes tension in their relationship to Zach as well as their marriage from time to time, but as a moody, hormonal teenager, Zach sometimes can't stand them.
He has a two years younger sister, Rose, who grew up in his shadow as the less pretty, less smart of the two. After Zach came out and began transitioning, Rose decided this was her chance to step out of the shadow. She's become more outgoing and sexual, partying, drinking and going after older boys. The two don't often get along but both worry and care for the other, both thinking that the other's chosen path is a lot more dangerous than they realize.
The family lives in a small house near the edge of town. They don't have much money so Zach only has a small room to himself that is still mostly filled with moving boxes he hasn't gotten around to unpacking. It's a practical small space with a bed, desk and bookshelf but barely any decorations on the walls. His pride flags are safely tucked under his bed rather than displayed proudly like in their old apartment.
Abigail Gilmann is a former classmate of Zach's. The two have been best friends for years and she, being bisexual herself, managed to help him figure himself out. Even after moving, they're in constant contact, texting or calling whenever they can.
When some of his new classmates noticed, he lied and told them she's his girlfriend, even making up lies about their relationship and sex life. It's something he feels embarrassed about and hasn't told her yet.
Zach doesn't know his teachers that well yet, but he likes Mr. Carlsson, the science teacher. During his first week at Boseman, Zach was caught by him trying to act cool by throwing slurs around and heavily reprimanded. While that does mean that Mr. Carlsson is not a big fan of Zach, Zach respects him for it. Plus, it doesn't hurt that he's really good looking, which makes his classes a lot more interesting.
On his first day at Boseman, Zach literally ran into Aaron Connery. Aaron's a year younger than most seniors since he skipped a class. He also volunteers in the school library. He's not the most classically handsome but Zach likes his smile, which is more important anyway.
Neither of the two boys dropped any books that they then had to pick up, making accidental hand contact and looking into each other's eyes while blushing, but as an avid romcom fan, Zach autocompleted the scene to a proper meet-cute in his head. He barely knows anyone at the school yet, so Aaron is the one his mind wanders off to in class at this point. He's not quite sure if Aaron knows him as anything but that new kid who hangs around the jocks, though.
Zach's parents insist on driving him to and from school every single day, no matter how often he tells them how embarrassing that is. The most frustrating part, they do allow Rose to be picked up and taken to school be her friends when she wants. They'd never let Zach do the same.

Freddie VP of the student council at Boseman. His family are long time residents, and his late father even spent a session on town council about six years back. The Solomon money comes mostly from being upper middle class Michiganders for a number of generations. Gill Solomon was an accountant by trade, and a successful one. His first wife disappeared following a quiet divorce, and he remarried a young hotty, Freddie's uncomfortably-too-much-of a step-MILF.

Freddie is outgoing and ambitious, but also nervous. He seeks admission to University of Michigan-Ann Arbor to pursue Molecular Biology, or perhaps Behavioral Neuroscience (if he can get through Steadman's Biology with close to perfect marks). The student council gig is designed to provide the right sort of extracurricular padding for his transcripts.

Following a car accident (his fault) last year, his volleyball and baseball hobbies were dashed, leaving him somewhat more somber and withdrawn, but he's coming out of that trauma and looking more like his old self.

# Describe your family and home life. Siblings. Your room. Pets. The relationship your parents have. You know the drill.
Step mother Belinda is a trophy wife, late 20s. Father, Gill, died last year in a car accident that left Fred a bit frail as he is still recovering. Two younger sisters, Debby and Sarah, quiet girls who are in therapy for the trauma. They blame Fred because he was driving. Debby was more outgoing until puberty then became withdrawn. Sarah was always quiet and nervous.
# Do you have a best friend? Who is that, if so, and do they attend Boseman?
Norm Chadwell, President of school council at Boseman. Norm is more popular than Freddy but they've been close since middle school, when they both shot up and dominated volleyball. Their popularity rose meteorically, at least until the accident.
# Who is your favorite teacher and why?
Brittany Maidstone, P.E. The woman is kind and sharp-eyed, her advice piercing. Freddie feels she helped make him rise to his heights as an athlete. The fact that she's easy on the eyes doesn't hurt either. Now, if only she taught swim class...
# Answer one: who are you currently crushing on, or who did you just break up with and why?
Priya Sunder. She's got these old world folks that hope she'd meet a nice Indian boy, but Priya and Freddie snuck around together a bunch. They've broken up now, as they were caught with her bra off in his car. She's likely to be ungrounded in another decade or so, but has told him she doesn't want to be around him any more.
# How do you get to school every day? (If you have a car, it's gonna be a junker unless you have the Rich or Filthy Rich Edges.)
His father's career and then life insurance has left his family well off. Freddie drives a Tesla Model 3.
