Some info!
The timeframe for Theo's Exaltation is at the start of the holiday break before Taylor would trigger, so we're about three months before Lung takes a fuckton of wasps to the nuts.
Theo is about Taylor's age and goes to Arcadia(It is a very good school, and so it was acceptable when Theo asked to go there instead of Immaculata), Gwen (who is also 15) goes to Immaculata, under a false 'legal' name. Theo doesn't have friends so much as people is friendly with. Most of the people he's immediately surrounded with are sympathizers or children of the well off members of the Empire who aren't well off enough to afford Immaculata, but his acquaintances are a bit more far flung, its in part camouflage for Theo and part intel on his son's activities for Max.
Nessa and Jessica (the Valkyrie twins Menja and Fenja, and Theo's second cousins (once removed? I think)) are early college age and Kayden is in her late twenties. Max likes 'em young. Granted he's still in his mid thirties, so its not too too bad.
Aster has finally reached the stage where she is no longer ugly and is actually cute.
Members of the Herren Clan are Nessa, Jess, Ophelia/Othala, with a smattering of others. Theo is technically part of the Herren Clan, but falls under Anders rule.
Night makes the best fucking cookies ever. If we didn't know any better she'd be a Solar of the Cookie Baking Caste. (Caste mark looks like a chocolate chip cookie, after Night used PPE's chain on Gaia's secret TC Deva, the Cookie Baking Grandma). So what if Night and Fog act like Stepford Wife and Stepford Husband? They're pretty nice people if a little weird. Theo actually likes them, Max flat out refuses to hand Theo over to them to get him to trigger (because he was afraid that they would do what he just did) in part because Max Anders isn't the worst dad in Worm. *cough*Eidolon*cough*
The Empire primarily runs a protection racket, illegal fighting rings (dogs, people, chickens, whatever), some/a lot of white collar crime, and has drugs for sale. There are several consensual escort services that are basically Empire whores, but its voluntary or offered as a way to pay off a debt if the woman in question is attractive enough, otherwise its off to work at Empire events, or something like it; or getting the shit beaten out of her. Long story short, the Nazi's are the generally nicest gang in the city(if you're white), their areas are cleanest and have the lowest crime rates (of the gang's, not even Coil's territory is as nice). In before someone says 'They're Nazis!' ABB is also a racist gang and they actively participate in the flesh trade, and the Merchants forcibly drug people. How fucked up must your city be where the Nazis are the nicest gang. Nobody knows wtf Coil is up to.
Other than Coil the Empire is also the wealthiest gang in the city, because of various reasons.
The Empire has some feelers in the PRT ENE so they do have some intel on some things. If not, the E88 is a long established gang and has many contacts.
Medhall is -the- local company in Brockton Bay, the IT companies are too small and diseperate to compete and a few are under Medhall's thumb. The Anders are a wealthy family indeed. This means the Theo knows Dean Stansfield (Gallant). They are polite to one another but share a dislike of the other. One of the few things both boys inherited from their respective fathers. Stansfield Sr and Anders Sr don't like each other either. It doesn't help that Victoria Dallon suspects Theo of being a Nazi because GG suspects Max Anders of being a Nazi (because *large inhalation* Carol Dallon suspects Max Anders of being a Nazi) and she slips from being polite every now and again. She is still incredibly hot.
Eric Pelham and Theo have no problems with one another and are frequently lab partners. Crystal (is also incredibly hot, fuck everyone in New Wave is good looking alright!) has graduated high school and Theo was never on her radar other than at social events and even only just barely. Amy... standard Amy issues, including self image issues because her adoptive family are all App 3 and some change (the high end of App 3 but not quite App 4) but Amy is App 2. If she just had some fashion sense and used makeup she'd get that bump to 3 and feel better about herself.

This is just to give a better picture of the world surrounding Theo, pre-Exaltation. And for discussion or lols after I close the votes in just shy of two hours, until the next bit.
