Valerie's Thread of Endless Questions

[valerie]

Well, I have quite a few, but we'll start with one for now.

Okay. I'm writing a story solely about my sector (Sector X) and I wanted to know: Around what age do they start letting kids into the KND? And how old is/was Tommy when they let him train? Spanks a lot!

[NumbuhInfinity]

Well, first, if your fic is solely about your original characters then you'll alienate most of your readers. Fic readers in a fandom would usually prefer reading fics that involve the canon characters somehow.

Second there's no official source that says what age a kid can join the KND. But Chad said he was there five years in Operation: END, so that means there are kids in the KND at least as young as 7, I think.

No official source on Tommy's age, either. At least I don't think there is. I think he's 7 but I could be wrong.

[juliefoojojo87]

Well, For some reason, i always thought it was 8..
I think they scout out for kids when they are 7, but once they turn 8 is when they can start being trained..

13 - 5 = 8

I used a calculator ;D

I think a 6 or 7 year old may be a little too young, and they are still new at learning how to do things in the world.. but by 8 they gain skills, and learn easily.. So they go train for the KND ;D

We don't really know Tommy's age, but he does seem to be around 7 or 8.. he's verry smart, but he still acts verry much like a little kid.. hehe, it was so cute to see how happy he was when he finally became a membuh of KND ;D

Infinity is right though, It's a fanfic, anything can happen, unless you want it to be verry accurate

I guess I shouldn't say it's solely about my characters, but mostly. I'm sure I'll throw in a cameo or two. It's a good thing I'm not a crowd pleaser It's mainly for my own entertainment purposes.

The reason I asked is because my character is just coming in (at the beginning of the story), and I placed her at 8. Just wanted it to sound accurate-ish. I know they don't exactly say how old Tommy is, but I didn't remember the Chad thing, so asking here was a good thing.

Okay, next question: Are the yipper cards cards of the KND members? Or are they just a Pokemon/Yu-gi-oh spoof?

[tako]

I think that Yipper cards are entirely different from the KND collectible cards introduced in Op. CHAD. Yipper cards seem to be centered on a dog.

It's kind of confusing because, in Op. CHAD, one of the KND asks, "Do you have one of Numbuh 73?" and then, in Op. POP, Numbuh 2 gets Yipper card #73 from the barkeep guy.

From what I've seen, the trading cards of Yipper and the cards of the KND are totally different sets. I don't think they're spoofs of Yu-Gi-Oh, most notably because YGO is, well, a *game*, while the cards on KND are just plain trading cards.

How old is Cree? *waits to be smacked*

Well, since Operation: K.I.S.S stands for:

Kids
Identity
Suddenly
Sixteen

I'm guessing Cree is the same age as what Hank (Teenage Hoagie) was.

I always thought of her as 16 years old.

[scone]

i always thought of her a little younger than that, maybe olderish 14 or 15. because she had just started wearing a training bra in support. and whether or not the bra was an ACTUAL bra is irrelevant, because he father saw her wearing one as normal.

usually, by sixteen, you aren't wearing a training anything. ^_~

[pinkdenim]

Maybe she's late at developing? xD

[numbuhm]

I would assume she would be 16.. but you'd think she'd have a car instead of a bike? I always thought she was at least 15.

EDIT: Think of it this way. We all know Abby was helped trained by Cree, right? Well, we're assuming they enter the KND around 8. So let's just say Cree was 12. Thats a 4 year difference from if Abby was 8. Cree must have left KND for a while. At least a couple of years before joining Father and figured out what she wanted to do. I dunno T_T I thought I could sound cool and smart but apparently not.

[pinkdenim]

I always thought that Cree trained Abby BEFORE she was old enough to join the KND (Like when she was 4 or something).

[juliefoojojo87]

Yeah, kinda like how numbuh 2 trained Tommy with 2x4 technology stuff, before he joined KND?


Well, If Hank was 16, Girls tend to go out with guys who are a little older than them..
So maybe she's 15, Maybe younger, we don't really know. Maybe someone can ask Mo if he has an age for her?
But you are right, if her dad was so proud that she's wearing a training bra, maybe she's 14 or so?




And As for the Yipper cards, I always did think that they were actual KND Numbuhs. I think the dog on the back of all the cards is just the logo, Because even in Operation Archive, that yipper dog has been around & popular.
It's my opinion, but i think that the yipper cards are KND Membuhs ;D

[tako]

I always imagined Cree to be 15. Slightly younger than Hank, but not too much. Her dad might not know a good age for girls to start wearing training bras. In fact, I don't live with my mom and I didn't wear a training bra until I was late 14, early 15, and I still wear a training bra. But I'm pretty sure that most girls would be finishing, not starting, wearing a training bra by 15, so... I think that Cree is late at developing or something.


And I don't think that Yipper cards are KND cards. Yipper has its own show and comics, and seems to be entirely separate from the KND organization, in the same way that rainbow monkeys are completely separate.

[numbuhm]

Well Cree IS skinney enough that her pants don't techinally fit her. They just kinda..circle around her.
