the middle RPG

The series features Frances "Frankie" Heck, a middle-class, middle-aged and Midwestern woman and her husband Mike ,who reside in the small fictional town of Orson, Indiana,They are the parents of three children, 15-year-old Axl, 13-year-old Sue and 8-year-old Brick.

The series is narrated by Frankie, initially an under-performing salesperson at a used-car dealership. Her stoic husband Mike manages a local quarry and serves as a stabilizing influence in the family, though Frankie complains about his lack of affection at times. The children are quite different from one another: eldest son Axl, a stereotypical jock, is outgoing and popular at school but is quite rude and self-centered; daughter Sue is an enthusiastic and perky young girl but is chronically unsuccessful and awkward; and youngest son Brick is an intelligent, compulsive reader with odd behavioral traits.
