Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Posterchildren, by Kitty Burroughs, is a series of YA Superhero novels, and short stories, with LGBTQ themes and more puns than you can shake a stick at. The first novel follows four characters: Mal Underwood, June Hovick, Ernest Wright, and Zip Chance, alternating between each of their points of view as they go through training at Maillardet's Foundation for the Future of Humanity.The description for the first book, Origins: "Nestled in the Cascade mountains in the Pacific Northwest, Maillardet's Foundation for the Future of Humanity is widely accepted as being the premiere training facility for young posthumans. The Academy accepts superpowered posterchildren from ages six through seventeen, guiding them through the training that they'll need if they want to become legally licensed heroes. Maillardet's Academy advertises itself as being for all types, welcoming the offspring of the greatest heroes of today — like Ernest Wright, the son of the Commander — along with new posters just learning to control their powers — like Juniper Hovick, a temperamental New Yorker with a flaming menagerie. Maillardet's is where the heroes of tomorrow are assembled today, so the pressure to perform is high. For disgraced legacy poster Malek Underwood, the third block of his training begins with him being knocked from his pedestal as the top student in the school, then paired with an almost-failing lesbian speedster named Zipporah Chance. Though they come from different backgrounds, Ernest, Juniper, Malek, and Zipporah all have the same goal: surviving the year. If they're ever going to become heroes, they have to make it to finals, first."Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The Posterchildren was funded entirely through an Indiegogo Campaign that ran from December 2012 to January 2013. The first book, The Posterchildren: Origins, was released online April 26, 2013. The second book, The Posterchildren: Retcons, is due to be funded and released sometime in 2015.Kitty's Tumblr: http://quipquipquip.tumblr.com/The Posterchildren on Gumroad: https://gumroad.com/theposterchildrenThe Posterchildren on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/theposterchildren | |

Power Levels | |
| The Posterchildren / int_324e2fcf | comment |
Power Levels: After power types, posthuman abilities are ranked by strength and usefulness. Labels go from Alpha (rarely exhaustible/highly reliable) to Delta (mostly useless/extremely limited). However, these labels are stated to be flawed as they tend to be biased towards male posters (Alphas are by far usually male) and are often assessed by a poster's leadership potential (which is more difficult to determine at a young age, especially as assertiveness, aggressiveness and physicality at play are more socialized in boys). Additionally, physically different posters tend to be ranked lower. Ofelia, who has sea lion physiology, is ranked a Beta when her hydrokinesis alone would be considered an Alpha power. | |

Power Copying | |
| The Posterchildren / int_4c24a9ed | comment |
Power Copying: Catherine "Copy Cat" Newmeyer can mimic and master any physical action she sees provided it's within her own physical bounds. This applies to everything from hand-to-hand combat to ribbon dancing. Corbin, being a powerful shapeshifter, was able to mimic simple orange-band abilities, but usually avoided this. 'It'd be like someone who has never played basketball suddenly gaining the height and athletic form of an all-star — he might have the goods, but he doesn't know the rules.' | |

Meaningful Name | |
| The Posterchildren / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Pretty much everyone! The more you look, the more you find. Elouise "Ellie" Lark has birdlike wings, reminiscent of a sun lark's. The name Elouise is sometimes associated with the Greek word "helios", meaning "sun" — particularly appropriate as Ellie's posterpower derives from sunlight. Malek Underwood's first name means "king" in Arabic, which is rather appropriate for the son of the Queen. Likewise, Amira means "princess." Aside from the obvious speedster pun in Zipporah "Zip" Chance's name, "Zipporah" means "bird" — you could say that she and Mal (Kinglet) are birds of a feather. | |

Code Name: At the beginning of their third block of training, all students at Maillardet's are asked to choose a moniker, a code name to be used in the field. Most students already have monikers picked out long before their third block, while new students are given a year to decide. | |

Sweet Polly Oliver | |
| The Posterchildren / int_a8217606 | comment |
Sweet Polly Oliver: Roxy Galán-Grant pretended to be a boy named Roy Grant back when she first worked with the Commander as the Champ. She did so to avoid the Unfortunate Implications of a teenage girl working with a man in the 80s, and her fear that he wouldn't have taken her as a sidekick knowing she was a girl. Sweet on Polly Oliver: Double Subversion, Sophia Galán fell head over heels for "Roy" and was only upset that she'd have to find a way to tell her parents she was dating a girl when she learned the truth. | |

Shrouded in Myth: In-Universe the truth about what happened to Mal and his Dad during their three year disappearance has an entire forest of Epileptic Trees surrounding it. For perspective, the more believable rumors revolve around ancient cults and/or brainwashing. They're not entirely wrong... | |

Legacy Character | |
| The Posterchildren / int_c9e5a0db | comment |
Legacy Character: Mal, Ernest and Rosario are all legacy posters with heroic parents. Mal was the Little Bird to his father's Rook, taking over the sidekick role that was originally his brother Marshal's. Ernest serves as his dad's sidekick, Champ (formerly Li'l Champ), a name he inherited from the Commander's original sidekick, Roxanne Galán-Grant. It is suggested that Ernest will ultimately take over from his father as the Commander, and that June will work alongside him in a similar capacity to the Queen. | |

Domino Mask | |
| The Posterchildren / int_d22af219 | comment |
Domino Mask: Ernest wears one for the Night Games. He used to wear it as Champ, too. June notes that it isn't meant to keep his identity secret (since no BPHA-certified hero has a secret identity), but rather to look professional and also provide night-vision, thermal-vision, and be used as corrective lenses since Ernest wears glasses. | |

Emotion Control: Jack Willard's power of empathic emotional manipulation allows him to project his own emotions onto others. When he's happy, so is everybody else around him. When he's frightened or angry, all hell breaks loose. There's a reason his moniker is Riot. | |

Animal Motifs: Many of the characters are related to or compared to animals. The Underwoods, including Ellie, have a bird motif. Zip is referred to as a cheetah both in-universe and out, June has the tigress, Maks is compared to a monkey, and Ernest is actually based on a golden retriever. Additionally, Ofelia has sea lion physiology. | |
