The answers are fine for 2013 but since Rails 4 all the database independent features of ActiveRecord are extracted into ActiveModel. Also, there's an awesome official guide for it.

You can include as many of the modules as you want, or as little.

As an example, you just need to include ActiveModel::Model and you can forgo such an initialize method:

def initialize(attributes = {})
  attributes.each do |name, value|
    send("#{name}=", value)
  end
end

Just use:

attr_accessor :name, :age
