As the theme explains, characters begin the game with no memory of their past lives. In fact, all of the students at the Hoffman Institute were extracted from their lives by the school. How the school does this, who exactly is behind it, and their plans are all mysteries to the students, however the one thing they have in common can only lead minds to wander. All of the students at the school are gifted with psychic abilities.
Of course, even with the influence that the prestigious school seems to weld on the perceptions and involvement of the outside world, there must always be a paper trail, and the school is good about making sure that each student enrolled has significant documentation. These identities are of course false and are issued tot he student upon his or her first day at Hoffman. These identities are forged with talent and your general attempt to look into a student would result in rather mundane searches.
As characters go through CG the code will slowly set up their Public Profile which will be completed upon approval. Players have no control over this information, however it is not highly important in game. it is simply an element that /can/ be used in RP by staff and storytellers.
Public Profile information can be located on the characters Student Profile.
