A spirited and sardonic young woman, Zia's experienced a fair amount of trauma in her life and is still fighting against the effect it's had on her mental health. When she isn't working as a music tutor, she can be found exercising or enjoying the social life she's gradually been able to carve out for herself.

* SamaritanSyndrome: Something he suffers from quite strongly. He believes himself responsible for any problem that he becomes aware of, especially now that he has superpowers to help stop them, and is quick to blame himself if the outcome isn't ideal or if [[IShouldHaveBeenBetter he can't perform to his best]].



* FaintingSeer: He's described as either going into a trance or, if he's unlucky, experiencing a spasm when he views a {{flashforward}}.



* MrExposition: Because Amy and Katheryn are trapped in non-human bodies and mostly confined to his room, Finn ends up expositing much of the roleplay's plot for their benefit.



* NonActionGuy: Stays away from the school during the bomb threat specifically because he realises that he's not suited for anything requiring physical prowess.

* PersonalHorror: After fatally wounding Devin and Daigo, Harriet is horrified to discover that she feels nothing about trying to kill them. She questions whether she's an EmptyShell, which causes her to experience severe cognitive dissonance.



* NervesOfSteel: She's shown to be capable of keeping her calm even under great duress, or when dealing with the inherent BodyHorror of her power (such as rationally deciding to merge her hand into Melissa's neck to keep the other girl from turning to smoke). At times it can be [[DissonantSerenity somewhat unnerving]].



* CluelessDudeMagnet: An online chat between her and Luna reveals that she was actually pretty popular in middle school, receiving multiple Valentine's gifts that she had assumed were just out of courtesy. She's rather shocked to find out the amount of guys who were into her.



* SmartPeopleBuildRobots: The first thing she does with her power is repurpose her computer into a flying drone with rudimentary A.I. She then calls it Ziz and has it serve as her companion.



* SeenItAll: After the fire alarm goes off in the middle of finals and he's teleported to the roof to discover a bomb threat that isn't real, Jacob is so desensitised that, when a drone flies in from nowhere and asks about the amount of people in the school, he isn't fazed in the slightest by its peculiarity.



* TeleFrag: He can rewind objects and then have them replay their actions. Any object that he rewinds is immediately teleported back in its path to the place where the rewind starts. If something else has come to occupy that space in the meantime, then the results can be messy. Jacob first found this out when he accidentally rewound a screwdriver into Barbra, killing her.



* EmbarrassingMiddleName: She doesn't like her middle name, as she feels like 'Agatha' belongs to an old lady.



* ProperlyParanoid: Most of her time, her conspiracy theories are as ludicrous as one would expect. However, she's right on the money when she suspects Travers of being a government agent.

-->It was like meeting a man in the street that holds you at knife-point only to help him out by headbutting the knife.

* FunetikAksent: All of Dark Dragon's speech is written out with a strong Cockney accent, even his inner thoughts.



* RevengeBeforeReason: Part of why Melissa is able to convince the Dragon to attack the people outside the high school- because the cops are also out there, and the Dragon has a deep hatred for them after an altercation in his past.
* StupidEvil: The Dragon's original plan to attack Travers is waylaid when Melissa gives him a speech that instead convinces him to attack the public. Irene, who is listening in, is amazed that he'd be so idiotic as to fall for such a blatant manipulation tactic.

[[folder:Ciro Gardner]]
!!Ciro Alvarado Gardner
->'''Played by:''' whizzerd
->''"The best thing we can do is try to calm down and actually talk this through, rather than arguing with each other over things that we don't fully understand."''

Raised in a low-income neighbourhood with an overworked father and two young siblings, Ciro has had to take on parental responsibilities a lot earlier than most. Desiring nothing more than to keep the peace and forge a better life for his siblings, Ciro has been trying his hardest to keep the empowering event from spiralling too far out of control.\\
\\
His power is invisibility and the ability to create force-fields.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: His surname in the original thread was Meyer, which was changed for ''Oldport Blues''.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In original DONA, Ciro was only recently acquainted with Zia. Here, they've been friends for years.
* {{Adorkable}}: Ciro is socially awkward, easily embarrassed, and tries a little too hard to be the responsible one. It gives him an endearing quality that's attracted multiple girls.
* BarrierWarrior: His first power allows him to create invisible force-fields, which can be utilised both offensively or defensively.
* BiTheWay: He's bisexual, but any sort of romance is low on his list of priorities. On top of that, he's still somewhat in the closet about it.
* BigBrotherInstinct: As the elder brother of two, Ciro is protective of those who are younger than him. If his siblings get into trouble then he becomes single-minded in his intent to protect them.
* ChildhoodFriends: He and Zia first became friends when they were eight and she protected him from bullies. They've been close ever since.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Ciro labours under the belief that he's responsible for any problem that he's aware of. If someone else is in need then he'll try his hardest to help them, even if it [[{{Workaholic}} wears him out]].
* CluelessChickMagnet: He mistakenly believes that Vivian's shyness around him is because she doesn't like him. He's also failed to notice Melissa's flirtations, or the crushes that Zia and Tamasin have been harbouring for him.
* DarkSecret: At the behest of his father, Ciro got drunk once. He's [[FelonyMisdemeanor utterly ashamed at himself]] for it.
* DieOrFly: Ciro first discovered he could create force-fields when he used one to stop his younger siblings from being eaten by Daigo's lizard monster.
* ExhaustedEyeBags: Because he's kept so busy by his responsibilities Ciro doesn't have much time to sleep, and thus always has bags under his eyes.
* ExtremeDoormat: Never wanting to cause trouble or upset others, Ciro is a little too accommodating and will try to please everyone at the expense of his own feelings.
* FriendToAllChildren: He frequently babysits children, and enjoys doing so. His ideal job would involve working with kids, such as a teacher or day care worker.
* GenreBlindness: Having had very little exposure to superhero movies, Ciro is blind to much of the genre's conventions. He doesn't understand what his force-field power is, for example, and initially believes that they should break the {{masquerade}}. Michal calls him out for the second one.
-->"Have you... have you ever read a comic book? Or seen a TV show? The last thing you do is tell the adults!"
* GoodSamaritan: During the school's evacuation, he notices that Josephine has accidentally used her ice powers to freeze herself to her desk, and take a few minutes to help calm her down so that she can escape with everyone else.
* ImHavingSoulPains: If he doesn't mentally prepare himself then forces that act on his forcefield can have a negative effect on his mind. For example, he suffered mental heatstroke when he quickly tried to cover a naked flame with a forcefield.
* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: He has the ability to shape his force-fields into any construct that he can mentally picture.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Ciro is kind and motherly, likes looking after children, does most of the cooking, cleaning, and sewing around his house, and would rather avoid confrontations or otherwise settle them with words. He's a little self-conscious about his lack of masculine traits.
* {{Invisibility}}: His second power is the ability to bend light in order to turn himself or other objects invisible.
* MissingMom: His mother left a year or two after he was born. She returned briefly and gave birth to his two siblings, but disappeared again and hasn't been seen since.
* MixedAncestry: He's half-Mexican from his mother's side. This is the same for his two siblings, though they look closer in appearance to their white father.
* MultiEthnicName: His surname Gardner is English in origin and comes from his American father, whilst his first name Ciro is Spanish and was chosen by his Mexican mother.
* NiceGuy: Ciro is an all-around decent guy. He's amicable, cares a lot about others, and helps out when he can.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: His parental nature leads to him being touchy-feely with the other characters, whether it's a subtle pat on the shoulder or an AffectionateGestureToTheHead.
* OnlyFriend: Because he's spent so much time looking after his siblings, or otherwise working, Ciro hasn't fostered any deep relationships with his peers. The exception to this is Zia, who's been a longtime friend since they were kids.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** His switch from insistent level-headedness to panic when he discovers his siblings are in trouble instantly ticks Michal off that something is seriously wrong.
** When Vanessa refuses to evacuate during a supposed school fire, Ciro gives her a stern talking-to that perturbs her so much that she leaves without complaint.
* PennyAmongDiamonds: In contrast to most of Oldport's population, Ciro lives in a low-income household in one of the few non-gentrified parts of town. This puts him at odds with most of his classmates, and has led to him getting bullied in the past.
* PersonalityPowers: He has the ability to create force-fields, which are primarily a defensive power used for protection. This is reflected in his nurturing personality, and his desire to look after others.
* PopculturalOsmosisFailure: Having grown up with very little exposure to media, Ciro is confused by most pop-culture references thrown his way. Particularly if they're from less common mediums, like comic books or anime.
* PromotionToParent: After his mother left and his father needed to work full-time, Ciro took on much of the parental responsibilities at home. This has left him with a caring disposition, though it's also made him a habitual worrier who struggles with taking things easy.
* TheReliableOne: He's always willing to lend a hand to those who need it, even if it eats up what little personal time he has.
* SeriouslyScruffy: Ciro's appearance is usually dishevelled. This is mostly due to him being poor- not only can he not afford better clothes, but he's often too busy working to spend time looking after himself.
* SheepInSheepsClothing: Some characters don't buy that he's as nice as he appears, and suspect that there's a darker side to him. While he has some personal issues that he keeps to himself, he really is just a pleasant person.
* StatusCellPhone: Because he's much poorer than his peers, his cellphone is an older model with a physical keyboard.
* SupremeChef: He's well-practised with cooking as a result of being in charge of his family's meals.
* TeamMom: Spends a lot of time acting as a mediator, and making sure the other characters don't get into trouble; in particular, he frequently has to remind Michal not to act irresponsibly. Fittingly, he has two younger siblings.
* ThoughtControlledPower: His force fields and invisibility are controlled solely by his mind, so he doesn't require any physical movement like many of the others do. On the flipside, this means his power is more likely to fail if his concentration is broken.
* TraumaButton: After his siblings are nearly eaten alive by Daigo's monster, Ciro becomes panicked when he comes across the people who were responsible for the attempted murder.
* TripleShifter: Studying for exams, taking care of the house, and keeping an eye on everybody's superpowers leaves him absolutely exhausted when finals roll around.
* UptightLovesWild: While he [[IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship wouldn't act on it]], Ciro has felt attracted to Zia's spirited nature, in part because he's envious that she can be less uptight than him.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: His father is much more relaxed than he is, and would like nothing better than for his son to loosen up a little.

[[folder:Finn Flannagan]]
!!Finn N. Flannagan (formely Schwartz)
->'''Played by:''' darksidevoid
->''"I'm going to be someone people can look up to as a great leader, and frankly, I have what it takes to be great."''

A formerly affluent teen whose father was the previous Mayor of Oldport. He was popular throughout most of his life... up until it was exposed that his father engaged in financial crimes and was thus locked away. Finn's popularity disintegrated overnight. He still remains intelligent, if very arrogant, and has been using his newfound power to wrap events around his little finger.\\
\\
His power is pre-cognition, post-cognition, and astral projection.
----
* AmbitionIsEvil: While evil is a stretch, Finn's desire to become a leader is nevertheless tied to his unlikable personality.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: He acknowledges that they're dealing with the impossible when it comes to their superpowers, and yet for some reason can't believe that Katheryn could be sentient ink.
* AstralProjection: Finn can cause his self to detach from his physical body, allowing him to survey events as a ghost-like apparition.
* BestServedCold: After Shooter makes an insensitive remark about Finn's imprisoned father, Finn decides to himself that he's going to stay quiet in the moment and then drag the principal down when he's better prepared.
* CallousnessTowardsEmergency:
** He shows utter indifference when Benjy is attacked by the smoke snakes, even going so far as to tell the boy to shut up and stop screaming. He rationalises it such that the empowerment is inevitable and non-fatal, but it's still very cold of him.
** When Michal lights himself on fire, prompting everyone nearby to panic and try to find a way to put him out, Finn ignores the whole debacle in favour of skimming through his phone.
* CausticCritic: He starts the story dishing out a harsh review to an Acting Club member:
-->"Your gestures are random and uncoordinated, and it's completely obvious you're overcompensating for your inability to roll your r's. [...] Frankly, I'm even more glad I left this dead end of a club than before! It'd be an embarrassment to be associated with someone who hasn't even mastered the basics."
* TheChessmaster: Using his abilities to glean information from objects he touches and gain knowledge about future happenings, Finn manipulates events in the current time to work out in his favour. Fittingly, [[SmartPeoplePlayChess he's the President of the chess club]].
* ChildhoodFriends: In a [[HiddenDepths surprising twist]], Finn reveals that he and Vivian were grouped together as playmates, practically making them childhood friends.
* DisappearedDad: Finn's father was arrested, and is stuck behind bars for the foreseeable future. Finn has thus disowned him completely.
* EvilVirtues: While Finn has a lot of jerkish qualities, one redeemable trait he does possess is a fierce loyalty to those who would stand by him.
* FrameUp: A group of students being accused of damaging the auditorium was all a set-up to place the blame on Finn and get him expelled. However, he drops out before it becomes official.
* GetRichQuickScheme: He plans to use his pre-cognition to win the lottery and quickly gather funds for his plan to research the powers.
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Prior to the beginning of the story, Finn's father was arrested for embezzling city funds. This catapulted Finn down the social ladder, resulting in his adoring fans all abandoning him.
* InsufferableGenius: Finn believes himself to be far above his peers... and given that he's a [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] in training, he's not too far off the mark.
* {{Jerkass}}: It could be said that Finn is the designated jerk among the heroes. His player specifically described him as the 'obligatory antagonistic asshole'.
* MasterActor: Prior to the Chess Club, Finn was a member of the school's Acting Club. He's excellent at memorisation and putting on a false face.
* MundaneUtility: At one point, he uses his pre-cognition to win a 'friendly' game of chess against Ivan.
* PersonalityPowers: After spending his high school life glued to the grapevine, Finn gained the ability to receive information with a mere touch.
* PowerIncontinence: Finn can't turn off his [[{{Psychometry}} post-cognition]], so he has to [[ConspicuousGloves wear gloves]] all the time to prevent him from being assaulted by information. He also can't dictate when he receives visions of the future, meaning he can pass out at inopportune times.
* PreppyName: Finn N. Flannagan is about as rich and obnoxious as you could expect from his name.
* TheProudElite: A wealthy, sophisticated upbringing as the son of the city's mayor left Finn with a disdainful disposition. His father has since [[HowTheMightyHaveFallen lost his status]], but Finn's arrogance remains.
* {{Psychometry}}: One aspect of his power is the ability to see an object's past by touching it. This can work to such a degree that he can [[InstantExpert instinctively use the object in question.]]
* {{Seer}}: Finn also has precognition, which allows him to see flashes of the future. Not only that, but if there's a small number of outcomes for any given event, then he can predict which one will be true.
* SharpDressedMan: To show off his wealth, Finn is always impeccably dressed. His usual attire is a dress shirt, tie, and light slacks.
* MySkullRunnethOver: When he first receives his power, Finn is bombarded with so much information about his surroundings that it causes him to spasm for a few minutes.
* SmugStraightEdge: Finn derides teenagers who would spend their weekends getting drunk or high, believing that they're ruining their futures by doing so.
* SmugSuper: Finn's superiority complex has only gotten worse with the development of his powers, as they've allowed him to hoard information that he can use to get a step up over everyone else.
* ThatWasNotADream: Initially he convinces himself that the empowering event is all a dream, and acts like his usual haughty self until one of the snakes stabs him.
* UndyingLoyalty: After being humbled at the beginning of his high school year, Finn has come to possess a deep sense of loyalty towards those who would be loyal to him in turn.

[[folder:Harriet Rynhil]]
!!Harriet Rynhil
->'''Played by:''' [=AtlasStratus=]
->''"...I should introduce myself, right? Rynhill...Harriet Rynhill. And this...is a burden."''

Trauma has clung to Harriet since the fateful events of her 16th birthday, when her parents took a wrong turn while driving and fell into the ocean. Blaming herself for their demise, as she'd fought with them earlier that day, Harriet has fallen down a hole of depression and self-hatred that the local child psychiatrist has slowly been trying to lift her out of. Unable to tell whether her power is a gift or a curse, Harriet has been struggling to reconcile the empowering event with what little of a life that she has.\\
\\
Her power is to telekinetically control a spear called Severance. The spear in turn can inflict hallucinations, memory degradation, and sensory manipulation on people.
----
* BladeOnAStick: Her weapon, Severance, is a crude-looking spear with green and black markings.
* BlessedWithSuck: After injuring Daigo with her spear, Harriet wonders to herself why she was given a power that only seems able to hurt others.
* BrutalHonesty: She has a tendency to be more straightforward than people expect. When Mirielle offered her food, she bluntly turned her down.
* ClingyMacguffin: If Severance gets more than thirty feet away from Harriet then it will instantly teleport back to her side.
* DarkSecret: She has a deep, horrible secret... she used to own a VideoGame/{{Tamagotchi}}, and was deeply attached to it.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Harriet has deep black hair and pasty skin. This gives her an unwell appearance and is due to her not looking after herself.
* TheEeyore: She's very gloomy most of the time, doesn't trust anyone, and assumes the worst of other's intentions.
* ExcessiveMourning: The death of her parents has had a horrible and long-lasting effect on Harriet's mental health. Even with seeing a therapist, she still struggles with intense feelings of worthlessness bordering on the suicidal.
* ExhaustedEyeBags: To complement her overall haggard look, Harriet has prominent bags under her eyes. This earned her the nickname [[EmbarrassingNickname 'Bag Lady']] from Rose.
* FantasyForbiddingParent: Back when they were still alive, Harriet's parents dissuaded her from pursuing a career in stage performance, wanting their child to follow a more conventional career path.
* FlyingWeapon: Severance will hover in the air if it isn't held. In fact, its natural state is to float alongside Harriet.
* FreakOut: Harriet suffers a severe mental break after she [[IDidntMeanToKillHim accidentally]] gives Devin a fatal wound. She feels simultaneously horrified and ecstatic, a [[SlasherSmile wide grin]] on her face as she howls and then turns to attack Daigo next.
* HomelessHero: Harriet technically has a home, but she refuses to stay there as it reminds her of her dead parents. At the behest of her psychiatrist, she instead shacks up in the school.
* ItsAllMyFault: Her parents died in a car accident, and Harriet blames herself for it because she argued with them the previous night. This has shot her self-esteem to pieces, and led her to believe that she doesn't deserve to live.
* JadeColoredGlasses: She used to be a cheerful girl with a love of acting, but her parents' death traumatised her so thoroughly that her personality and view of the world has done a complete 180.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Through Severance, Harriet can affect the memories of others, either causing them to degrade or [[FakeMemories manipulating them]].
* MasterOfIllusion: Another thing that Severance can do is cause hallucinations in the person that it cuts.
* MinorLivingAlone: She lives in the school without any form of parental supervision (besides her meetings with her psychiatrist).
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When she greviously harms Devin, Harriet freaks out, telling herself that this must mean she's destined to become a murderer since she also blames herself for her parent's death.
* NotAfraidToDie: While she doesn't actively seek out a way to die, Harriet is nonplussed if death comes to her. When the school gets rigged with bombs, she's tempted to just stay inside and let the building explode with her in it.
* NothingButSkinAndBones: Harriet is skinny to a concerning degree, her features described as angular and bony. It's another facet of her lack of self-care.
* PartingWordsRegret: On her 16th birthday, Harriet got in a heated argument with her parents and stormed out the house. When she returned the next day, she discovered that they'd died in a car accident. This is her [[MyGreatestFailure greatest regret]] in life.
* PeekABangs: Her messy hair covers one eye, showing that she's dishevelled, shy, and angsty.
* SenselessViolins: In order to bring her companion spear into school without raising suspicion, Harriet hides Severance in an old guitar bag.
* SensoryAbuse: When Severance cuts an opponent it can potentially alter their senses, either by dulling or amplifying them.
* SeriouslyScruffy: Her clothing and hair are both a mess. This is partly because she's homeless, and partly because she's so self-hating that she can't be bothered to look after herself.
* ShrinkingViolet: Harriet is withdrawn, self-loathing, and feels she doesn't deserve the attention or love of others. She frequently appears to be skittish, and her dialogue contains a lot of ellipses.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: 'Rynhil' and 'Rynhill' have been used interchangeably for her surname.
* ThinkingUpPortals: Her power allows her to create small portals that only Severance can travel through.
* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: Harriet's dream is for an aloof young man to sweep away the angst of her past.
* ThoughtControlledPower: She can [[MindOverMatter telekinetically]] control Severance without needing to hold it.
* TraumaButton: Bringing up her parents in any way is sure to make Harriet distressed, as she feels responsible for their death.

[[folder:Hyeon Jung]]
!!Hyeon "Neon Hyeon" Jung
->'''Played by:''' Uncandescent
->''"Look, if you want to skip school, save the world, and not be a bitch, grab his ankles and help me get him to my car."''

Local bad boy, band member, and all-around troublemaker, Hyeon is one to both approach and avoid. Living on his own after his parents skipped town and his grandmother passed away, Hyeon has set his sights on a life of rock n' roll, away from the mundanity of Oldport. With his power came an unexpected friend, and a brand new world that Hyeon is prepared to face with gusto.\\
\\
His power is to converse with animals. He can also shapeshift into them.
----
* AffectionateNickname: Gets called 'Hy-Hy' by Longhorn, and it's probably only their friendship that stops the guy from getting called out on it.
* {{Animorphism}}: With enough exposure to an animal, Hyeon is able to shapeshift into it. This power works in degrees, meaning that he can adapt an animal's traits (such as a wolf's eyesight) right up to transforming into them completely.
* BlankStare: His reaction when the other students freak out at him during the empowering event. Since he doesn't know what's happening, he thinks they're over-reacting.
* TheCharmer: While his effectiveness varies, Hyeon is a handsome, flirtatious, and devil-may-care vagabond. He mentions in passing that he has a bad habit of hooking up with every front-runner they get for his tribute band.
* ChickMagnet: As the local 'bad boy' and member of a band, Hyeon has a slew of girls crushing on him, including Luna, Jessica, and Patty. On top of that he hooks up with Zia in a flashforward, and was previously in a relationship with Nadine.
* CoolShades: He's [[SunglassesAtNight almost never seen]] without a pair of shades. When he first meets with Josephine, he reveals that he has a pair with a US flag emblazoned on the glass.
* {{Delinquents}}: Hyeon is a rock-and-roll enthusiast who doesn't care about school, plays in a band, drinks and drives, and drags people into ill-advised nighttime ventures.
* ExhaustedEyeBags: He has bags under his eyes, which he hides with his ever-present shades.
* FailedASpotCheck: Listening to music alone caused him to miss the part where everyone freaked out about being trapped in the school. When he comes across a group of scared kids, he strolls into the scene and asks if anyone wants to help him put up flyers.
* FearlessFool: During the empowering incident, his first instinct when seeing danger is to [[LeeroyJenkins charge at it]] with a weapon rather than run or hide like the other students do.
* TheGadfly: He encourages Longhorn's shipping of himself and Nadine, purely to tick Nadine off.
* GoalInLife: As per his grandmother's dying wish, and his own desire, Hyeon's goal in life is to become a successful musician. Anything besides that is tertiary, and gets treated as such.
* HatedHometown: Hyeon is tired of being latched to school, so when he graduates he has every intention of hitting the road and leaving Oldport in the dust.
* HiddenDepths: Whilst known for being shallow and dim-witted, his sense of concern and responsibility when his friend Amy goes missing shows that he does have a heart beyond his rock n' roll persona.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As much of an asshole as he can be, Hyeon does care for his friends and will look out for them. To say nothing of his literal PetTheDog moments with Kwang.
* IncompatibleOrientation:
** His relationship with Nadine wouldn't have worked out in the long run, since she came to realise that she was a lesbian.
** In a minor, humorous example, he tried to play [[RomanticWingman wingman]] and push Abby towards Ciro, unaware that she's {{asexual|ity}}.
* LetsGetOutOfHere: He beats a hasty retreat out of the school once he realises that he'll be blamed for property damage if he sticks around.
* MagicMusic: Because animals communicate through sounds rather than words, Hyeon can use music to amplify his control over any animals in the area.
* MinorLivingAlone: He currently lives alone in his grandmother's old house. His cousin is his legal guardian, but is out of state.
* NonHumanSidekick: Hyeon accidentally runs over a squirrel while on the way home from the empowering event, and out of guilt adopts its child. He names the grey squirrel 'Kwang', and affectionately treats him like a pet/friend.
* ParentalAbandonment: Both of Hyeon's parents are missing from the picture. Behind-the-scenes discussion implies that they left him in the care of his grandmother so they could pursue a hedonistic lifestyle.
* RaisedByGrandparents: Before she passed on, Hyeon was raised by his grandmother rather than his parents.
* RecurringDreams: He has a recurring dream involving a lounge and a female singer, the significance of which isn't yet clear to the reader.
* RipTailoring: Hyeon has a rock-and-roll aesthetic, and that involves clothing that's been deliberately ripped or damaged to look fashionably distressed.
* TheRival: He has two- Benedict, local rich boy and narcissist, and Jae, who Hyeon thinks is stupid for the way she's rebelling against her parents.
* SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll: Hyeon aspires to be a rock star, and to that end he plays in a tribute band and leads a heavily hedonistic life.
* SocialCircleFiller: He's one of the popular kids, and has a list of friends as long as his arm. However, when it comes down to finding someone to talk to about his superpowers, he realises that he's not really that close to any of them.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: His power allows him to understand and converse with animals. He does so by replicating their sounds, which looks odd to the outside viewer.

[[folder:Irene Melissenos]]
!!Irene Melissenos
->'''Played by:''' joergenjetsam
->''"Right, well, if the government's considering whether or not to kill us I think we stand a better chance apart."''

An affluent young lady who has spent most of her life being shipped from one country to the next. Having set the family roots down in Oldport, Irene has worked hard to excel intellectually and socially. The advent of her power has done little to deter her from her goals, despite the terrifying capabilities that rest within them.\\
\\
Her power is to manipulate flesh and other parts of the body.
----
* ALadyAndAScholar: Irene is highly intelligent, and while she can become irritated if she's shown up in that department, she'll still try and remain respectful.
* {{Biomanipulation}}: Her power is fleshcrafting, which allows her to manipulate a body's biology. She could change skin tone or hair colour, mold a person's muscles and bones, or even [[BioAugmentation grant them extra body parts]].
* CastFromStamina: The longer that Irene uses her power, the more tired she'll become as a result.
* ChekhovsSkill: {{Subverted}}. Irene once asked a doctor how she would treat a burn victim, but didn't pay attention to the answer. She feels guilty about it when she comes across the severely burned school nurse.
* TheDragAlong: After a serious of arduous encounters with the school staff, Irene just wants to go home. But then David arrives and repeatedly demands her attention- when she tries to ignore him, he [[DisproportionateRetribution tries to shoot her]].
* HandshakeRefusal: She deliberately leaves [[DarkActionGirl Melissa]] hanging for a few seconds when the girl offers her hand, to show her general indifference towards the girl.
* GentlewomanSnarker: Her upper-class personality serves itself well to her occasionally droll remarks.
-->What a cheery thought. The club of the damned, meetings on Tuesdays, tea and cookies provided.
* GoGetterGirl: She strives for academic success and already has plans to move on to university education. She enjoys being smarter than others, but also works hard at being gracious to her peers.
* InsufferableGenius: Downplayed: Irene enjoys academic success and being smarter than those around her, but she still tries to remain civil and not rub it in people's faces.
* MathematiciansAnswer: When asked to explain what happened to the nurse, Irene replies that she only found the nurse in her current state. While technically the truth, it leaves out the potential suspects that she witnessed at the scene.
* NotMyLuckyDay: The day after the empowering event does not go well for her: she tries to find information and is scared off by a conspiratorial teacher, she's accused of hurting the nurse by the principal, and when she tries to go home David stops her and nearly kills her with a bullet and then a car.
-->If Irene had suffered days worse than this one, they were not coming to mind.
* NotSoDifferent: Melissa tries to claim that she and Irene have a lot in common, only for Irene to [[SubvertedTrope refute it]] and point out that Melissa barely knows her.
* PastimesProvePersonality: It's shown that she enjoys reading, which fits with her intellectual and somewhat distant nature.
* PreppyName: Melissenos is a surname that belonged to a noble Byzanite family in the 8th century. Fittingly, Irene is from an upper-class background and one of the richest characters in the cast.
* TheProudElite: She's a rich, pretty, and sophisticated young woman. She can appear aloof from the outside, but with friends she's much more animated and at ease.
* ReallyMovesAround: As a result of her mother's business, Irene has lived in a multitude of countries, from China to Czechia to America. She's only been residing in Oldport for the past four years.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: When the principal demands that she hand over the injured nurse, implying that he cares more about making a scene than the nurse's well-being, Irene refuses and tries to get the nurse to safety herself.
* TheStoic: Irene has a polite demeanour and a refined manner of speech. As a result, she can come off as stiff and robotic.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She feels discomfort around strangers, and so her attitude around them is distant but polite. She's more comfortable around friends, and acts warmer to them as a result.
* TerrifyingRescuer: She helps Jacob fix up his nosebleed after he exerts his power too much, but her cold attitude while doing so leads him to worry that she has it out for him.
* WealthyYachtOwner: One sign of her wealth is her family's acquisition of a yacht. When the less affluent characters meet up in a graveyard, she questions without irony why they couldn't have hired a yacht instead.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Irene's mother is still in her life, but is so busy with work abroad that Irene doesn't get to see her much. She's willing to accept it since her mother is the main breadwinner of the family.

[[folder:Ivan Bjelnič]]
!!Ivan Bjelnič
->'''Played by:''' Mistfader
->''"Music's like talking, though; too much of it and you just get tired, you know?"''

Despite his unnerving appearance, Ivan is a kind and quiet young lad- a little too quiet, as a genetic disorder renders him almost incapable of speech. His parents have done everything in their power to help him lead an ordinary life, and for that he feels eternally indebted to them. Granted a strange and esoteric power, Ivan has spent his time trying to better understand what he's capable of.\\
\\
His power allows him to use a piece of media to represent an ongoing event, and then manipulate the media to change the event.
----
* CharacterisationMarchesOn: While his initial portrayal leaned more towards amoral (including one non-canonical instance of him trying to manipulate the stock market for personal gain), Ivan has since developed into someone with a more upstanding attitude.
* CommonalityConnection: He became buddies with the similarly disabled Edward when they met each other in the hospital.
* TheDutifulSon: Ivan is beholden to his parents for all that they've done to help them, and feels honour-bound to repay them for it.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Finn mentions the Vice President of the Chess Club long before Ivan enters the story.
* GentleGiant: Ivan, at 6'2, is the tallest of the teenage cast. However, despite his tall and bony appearance, he's a level-headed and kind boy.
* IcyBlueEyes: His eyes are described as an icy blue, which match with his silent, observational personality.
* ImmigrantParents: His parents grew up in Yugoslavia, but migrated to the USA during the country's political upheaval.
* InsultBackfire: He takes Finn calling him a mute bastard as a potential sign that Finn likes him more than most, since it's not ''as'' scathing as Finn usually is.
* NiceGuy: Thanks in part to his lack of voice, Ivan is a quiet friend and a good listener. He has a tolerant outlook and is loyal to those who help him in turn.
* NonActionGuy: A few of the guys are non-combative or got passive powers, but Ivan is the one to lampshade his lack of prowess after the confrontation with Daigo's monster.
-->[W]hat was he going to do against a big, satanic lizard, throw books at it?
* NothingButSkinAndBones: Ivan's physical description emphasises how skinny and frail he looks, describing his skin as porcelain and his arms as twigs.
* PastimesProvePersonality: His piano fingers aren't just for show, as he enjoys playing the piano in his spare time. It shows him to be a tad more distinguished than the rest of the cast.
* PersonalityPowers: He gained the power to subtly manipulate an event from behind the scenes, which fits with how he's patient and observational.
* TheReliableOne: While his personality is not as drastic as some other characters, Ivan makes up for it by being patient, clear-headed, and a good listener.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When he tells himself to forgot about Daigo and his monster, and then enters the classroom where his final exam is taking place... and Daigo is right front and center. He immediately leaves the room again, having to compose himself before he can try again.
* SeekerArchetype: He's hungry for knowledge about the empowering incident, and pinballs between various leads while trying to discover the truth.
* {{Seer}}: Of a sort. His power allows him to create a representation of an actual event- which, in turn, can make him privy to information about said event that he wouldn't have known about otherwise.
* SkewedPriorities: He lampshades it when he takes a chess game far too seriously when there's other, more important issues to deal with.
* TheSpeechless: Ivan has a genetic condition that makes it difficult for him to speak. He communicates mainly through [[TalkingWithSigns writing in a notebook]], though he's also capable of sign language.
* StunnedSilence: Ivan doesn't really speak anyway, but the incident with Daigo's monster is so overwhelming that he notes that he'd be speechless even if he could talk.
* WindsOfDestinyChange: He has the ability to form a representation of an event through any media of his choice (i.e. using a chessboard to represent an actual battle). He can then manipulate the media, in turn affecting how the event itself turns out.
* YouHaveToBelieveMe: Ivan attempts to converse with a student in the library about the empowering event. However, he comes out of the gate a little too forcefully, and the student is too weirded out to talk to him.

[[folder:Ivy Havilland]]
!!Ivy Xuehong Havilland
->'''Played by:''' wikkit
->''"What if I make something important? Important to the world, and—and maybe it'll help people... Maybe I'll get rich off of it...heh..."''

If one is looking for a nerd, look no further than Ivy, a neurotic young woman with a deep love for hobbies that she'd rather you not know about. Ivy has lived an ordinary life, leaning heavily on her friendship with Luna Black and finding herself lost after they drift apart. The empowering incident has pushed them back together, which Ivy considers a silver lining in what is otherwise an endless stream of chaos.\\
\\
Her power grants her moments of mechanical genius, with which she can create amazing inventions with whatever electronics are on hand.
----
* AGirlAndHerX: The first thing that Ivy creates with her power is a flying drone named Ziz. He henceforth serves as her companion.
* {{Adorkable}}: Ivy is shy, nerdy, and a little neurotic, which all lends itself to making her cute. Jae is specifically attracted to her because of her meekness.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Her type is guys that are dark and brooding, without actually being dangerous. This resulted in her crush on the moody Simon.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: She once hoped that her life could become more eventful than simply falling into the same routine of going to school every day. She got her wish when she was granted superpowers, just not exactly in the way she'd been hoping for.
* BlindWithoutEm: Without her glasses, Ivy's vision is a blurry mess. They briefly get knocked off during the empowering incident, and again when Zia chokes her the next day. Both times she has to paw around on the floor until she finds them.
* BrainsAndBrawn: Ivy is physically unintimidating and her power allows her brief bursts of genius. Her best friend, Luna, is a bruiser whose strength was enhanced by her lightning power.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Initially Ivy was written as being more unapproachable, and concerned with her routine. Over time she became less haughty and more shy, and her initial traits were picked up by Jacob.
* ChildhoodFriends: She and Luna were best friends back when they were children. Their friendship took a hit when Luna joined Nadine's gang, but they've since been working on reconciliation.
* CommonalityConnection: How she and Luna became childhood friends- they both love anime and video games.
* CradleOfLoneliness: After the Dark Dragon absorbs her best friend Luna, Ivy can only respond by taking the jacket that Luna had been wearing and wrapping it around herself while she screams.
* DissonantSerenity: A reaction she's shown in stressful situations is to display a veneer of calm. When she was accused of being a ghost, she smiled at the accuser. When a car fell from the sky just metres away from her own vehicle, she calmly asked Finn to drop her off. [[SubvertedTrope The freak out came afterwards]].
* DontThinkFeel: {{Inverted|Trope}}; Ivy quickly decides to never trust her intuition when she does so and it leads her to scream in the middle of a street.
* GadgeteerGenius: Ivy's power allows her to create incredible inventions. However, she has no control over what form her inspiration takes, which could lead to her making something niche or useless.
* GretzkyHasTheBall: One sign that she's a nerd is that she has next to no knowledge about sports. When it comes up in conversation, she bluffs with what little she learned from her football-obsessed uncle.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Ivy has a very close friendship with Luna, to the point that multiple other characters believe that they'd make a cute couple.
* HomemadeInventions: Her inventions can be made from whatever electronics are at hand. For example, she once turned her phone into a specialised magnet that wiped the data from all other mobiles in her vicinity.
* {{Hypochondriac}}: It's not a domineering aspect of her personality, but Ivy has a strained relationship with the school nurses due to her tendency to believe she has an imaginary illness.
* ImpossibleGenius: When creating an invention, she's capable of phasing parts between each other and making them perform functions that would be impossible for a regular modification.
* MixedAncestry: Her mother is Chinese, while her father is white. She's remarked that people tend to assume her name will be something more 'Asian' than it is.
* MyGreatestFailure: She immediately feels intense regret for standing by as Dark Dragon absorbed her friend, and is able to do nothing but curl up and scream at herself in the aftermath.
* NerdGlasses: Ivy has a pair of browline glasses to accentuate her nerdy interests.
* NervousWreck: She's highly neurotic, which in turn leads to her assuming the worst of others. Not only that, but it causes her to [[HeroicBSOD 'shut down']] in stressful situations.
* ObliviousToLove: She's unaware that Jae has been staring at her dreamingly during class.
* OldShame: [[invoked]] When she was younger, Ivy was really into ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''- enough that she made an OC for it, Ziz the Eagle. She's now greatly ashamed of it, though she still named her robotic drone after Ziz.
* OnlyFriend: Luna has been her only stable friend throughout her life, and even that started to drift when Luna become embroiled with Nadine's group. They've come back together after receiving powers, though the damage to Ivy's well-being has already been done.
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: She calls Ed the 'guy in the wheelchair'. Luna points out her faux pas, and Ivy spends the next three paragraphs trying to decide whether to bring it up or let it slide or apologise...
* {{Otaku}}: Ivy is a big fan of anime and manga, though in recent years has been trying to hide it out of embarrassment.
* PowerFantasy: After being victim to Jessica's CompellingVoice, Ivy imagines a tougher version of herself who has the strength to call out Jessica for being a jerk. Or at least she tries, but even her fantasy self isn't that tough.
* PowerIncontinence: Her bursts of genius tend to hit her at random, and she has difficulty controlling them. This leads to her accidentally revealing the existence of superpowers to her parents. Later on, she's frightened so badly that her power instinctively kicks in and causes her to start inventing on the spot.
* PlayingSick: She tries to call in sick the day after the empowering incident. Her mother, a teacher, sees right through it and sends her off to school.
* PrecisionFStrike: Ivy, recovering from a panic attack, asks Hyeon a pointed 'What the fuck is wrong with you?' when he comes up and gives her a shove. She does the same thing later when Jessica uses her CompellingVoice to puppet Ivy around.
* ReedRichardsIsUseless: The inventions that she creates could revolutionize the world. Unfortunately, Ivy's power is such that her genius only lasts as long as she's making her invention. Once it's over, she's back to average intelligence with no way to replicate her success.
* ShrinkingViolet: Ivy is shy, introverted, hates standing out, and has strong self-esteem issues. While she can stand up herself, or for her friends, the moments are few and far-between.
* SkewedPriorities: Crispin's conspiracy theory, the exploded nurse's office, and everything else to do with the superpowers falls to the wayside once Ivy realises the worst problem of all- her mom will be mad at her if she doesn't know where Ivy is.
* TheSparkOfGenius: Ivy's superpower lets her create inventions that are far beyond what most are capable of, to a degree that's almost RealityWarping. What stops her from complete domination is that the spark only works in brief spurts.
* SpeechImpediment: She has a stutter, which becomes more prominent when she's anxious or excited ([[NervousWreck which is most of the time]]).

[[folder:Jacob Miller]]
!!Jacob Miller
->'''Played by:''' pillowmantis
->''"I just want to live a quiet life. We'll all get wrapped up in this. It's like an incendiary incident in a book, the type of thing I'd rather avoid."''

Control. Schedule. Routine. Jacob's life starts and ends with the regime that his mother has helped drill into him, leaving him inflexible, asocial, and apathetic to the world so long as it doesn't bother him. With the empowering event threatening to spiral his life out of control, Jacob has been desperately trying to maintain what little order he still has left.\\
\\
His power allows him to rewind objects, causing them to replay their actions before returning to their original location and state.
----
* AndIMustScream: In one BadFuture the government got ahold of Jacob and trapped him in one of his own time loops, dooming him to repeat the same few minutes indefinitely.
* {{Bookworm}}: Jacob spends all of his free time reading, and is willing to make allowances in his schedule for books.
* CommanderContrarian: He's not shy at all about voicing his displeasure with any plan he finds a flaw with.
* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: Jacob snaps at the kids who try to help him after he gets a nosebleed from using his power. This causes some tension between him and Irene, one of the ones who'd offered her help.
* ControlFreak: He has a schedule he follows strictly and always tries to abide by the rules. If chaos is brought into his life, then anxiety quickly sets in and he seeks out any semblance of order.
* CuriousQualmsOfConscience: He tries to run away from the bombs set in the school and avoid any trouble, as has been drilled into him by his mother. But Lenore's earnestness in trying to defuse the bombs and save everyone makes him feel an alien sense of guilt, and eventually convinces him to help her.
* TheDragAlong: He implores the others not to get into crazy situations because he's fully aware that he'll inevitably be dragged into them too.
* ExhaustedEyeBags: He has heavy bags under his eyes, presumably because his routine doesn't allow for a lot of sleep.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Specifically been mentioned as such by his player. Jacob is bound to the others due to their superpowers, but his rudeness turns most of them off.
* FriendlessBackground: Thanks to his obsession with routine and his lack of social graces, Jacob starts the RP without any friends.
* InformedJudaism: Jacob comes from a Jewish family, but his mother cut off all ties from it. As a result, he has no real connection to the identity.
* JerkassHasAPoint: He is correct when he points out that trying to sneak around with Benjy is a very reckless option, but calling Benjy an 'abomination' while doing so doesn't win him any favours with the others.
* JustIgnoreIt: His reaction when it becomes clear that the other superpowered kids are up to something during the final exam. His efforts only last so long before Lenore is finally able to drag him into the action.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: He desires to return to his regular routine and put all of the superpowered nonsense behind him. Unfortunately for him, the others keep roping him into abnormal situations.
* LackOfEmpathy: He has trouble empathising with others- more specifically, he cares more about how people might inconvenience him than how they're feeling.
* LimitedWardrobe: His wardrobe consists of multiple copies of the same blue shirt, black pants, and brown glasses. It shows how inflexible he is.
* NoSocialSkills: Jacob has no time to slot socialisation into his schedule, thus he acts rudely to anyone who takes up much of his time. Because his social skills are so underdeveloped, he struggles to understand when people act emotionally rather than logically.
* PersonalityPowers: As noted in his sign-up, Jacob's ability to create time loops is rather fitting for someone who's bound to his routine.
* PsychicNosebleed: Overusage of his time loop power causes him great mental stress, which manifests itself as a nosebleed.
* ScheduleFanatic: Thanks to his [[AbusiveParents mother]], Jacob is addicted to routine and becomes distressed when it's interrupted in any way.
* SkewedPriorities:
** His reaction when he hears other students screaming is to leave the building. Not because he fears what might be causing the screams, but because they're too distracting for him to study properly.
** The stress of seeing Benjy's monstrous form causes him to short-circuit and complain that Benjy doesn't look like the description Jacob had been given.
** When over-exerting his powers leads to Jacob getting a PsychicNosebleed, he's more concerned about the blood getting on his clothes (which would earn the wrath of his mother) than his physical well-being.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: His bespectacled appearance matches with his school grades, with are examplary as a result of his strict education.
* SpecialPersonNormalName: Jacob's name was specifically chosen because it's so average. His player knows three Jacob Millers in real life.
* SupernaturalAngst: His inability to fully understand and control his power causes Jacob stress, which in turn makes his power even more unwieldy, leading into a spiral that chips away at his mental health.
* TimeMaster: Jacob's power causes objects to replay their actions, essentially trapping them in a miniaturised [[GroundhogDayLoop time loop]].
* TranquilFury: His irritation at Barbra reaches a peak when he goes off on a rant against her, which starts off with him as eerily calm.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: While Jacob's father is still around, he's so busy with work that he rarely gets to see his son. This also means he's in the dark about how his wife treats Jacob.

[[folder:Jemimah Chen]]
!!Jemimah "Jem" Chen
->'''Played by:''' troydenite
->''"We're not stupid! Well, I probably am, but she isn't! So there!"''

An aspiring judoka that lives, breathes, and sweats the sport. Jemimah makes up for her lack of brains with her impressive brawn and endlessly cheerful personality, at times seeming to exist in a world entirely different from everyone else. Having not realised her superpowers, Jem has instead spent her time working towards that gold medal.\\
\\
Her power is to create repulsive fields, and also to remove friction using the soles of her feet.
----
* BaitAndSwitchComment: For a second, it seems like she's horrified to discover that everyone has superpowers. But then she bursts with excitement, yapping happily to the girl that threw a spear at her and marvelling at the giant bug monster.
* BoisterousBruiser: Jemimah is one of the most physical members of the cast, is highly energetic and cheerful, and also not too bright.
* CompanionCube: She has a tree at home that she's called Uke, and doesn't think it's odd to talk to inanimate objects.
* CelebCrush: When asked if she has a crush, Jemimah replied with Kimura Masahiro... a deceased judoku.
* {{Doublethink}}: Jem's will is such that she can reconcile two completely opposing ideas, like the idea of having an ordinary life and taking exams with the existence of superpowers.
* DumbMuscle: What Jemimah has in brawn she lacks in brain. It's mentioned that she mostly bumbled her way through classes.
* FailedASpotCheck: She didn't figure out that she had superpowers until days after the smoke snakes first attacked her.
* HiddenDepths: She's a gutsy, sporty girl with a liking for Music/BritneySpears.
* HotBlooded: Jemimah is a naturally loud person, who fills any room she's in with her overabundant excitement.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: The outfit she's introduced in is ratty sweatpants matched with a lime green shirt and bright pink windbreaker.
* LikeParentLikeChild: Her mother is also an amateur judoka, and was happy when her daughter became interested in the sport.
* LiteralMinded: Ivy needs to find water, and comes across a bucket and tap. She tells Jemimah that she needs to borrow the bucket, so Jem 'helpfully' goes to pick it up sans water.
* MagnetismManipulation: The first aspect of Jemimah's power works in a way that's similar to magnetism: by touching an object, she can imbue it with a field that repels her at speed (or repels the object, if it's smaller than her).
* MixedAncestry: She's Sino-Japanese, with her father being Chinese and her mother being Japanese.
* MultiEthnicName: Jemimah is a biblical Hebrew name, while Chen is Chinese. She explains it's because her father pulled her first name out of the dictionary.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Described as such in her bio, Jemimah is an extroverted person who likes getting up close and personal with her peers.
* OddFriendship: As pointed out in-thread, Jem's cheerful boisterousness is very at odds with Jae, her friend and known grouch. Their first meeting was happenstance, when Jem happened across the area where Jae liked to smoke.
* PassionateSportsGirl: She lives and breathes judo. Her dream is to become the world judo champion and to have her own dojo.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Her friction removal power is sensitive enough to modulate her balance, ensuring she doesn't trip while gliding around at high speeds. It also protects her from air friction, and from skinning herself if she comes into contact with another object.
* SecretKeeper: Jae has confessed to Jemimah about the girl that she has a crush on. That said, her description of Ivy is so overblown that Jemimah doesn't have a chance of matching it to the actual person.
* SuperSpeed: Jemimah's second power allows her to remove friction from her soles, in turn allowing her to move at great speeds.
* TomboyishPonytail: She's very physical, and so usually keeps her long hair tucked up in a ponytail.
* ToothyIssue: Jem is missing one of her top incisors, showing her rowdy and physically intense lifestyle.
* TrainingFromHell: Her regime includes [[GoodOldWays old-school]], hardcore tactics such as push-ups on gravel and leg sweeps on trees.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Jemimah is the first person to admit that her name is odd, [[SelfDeprecation and also the first to laugh at it]].

[[folder:Jenna Sanderson]]
!!Jenna Agatha Sanderson
->'''Played by:''' [=PossiblyQuiteInsane=]
->''"You think I just woke up this morning and decided, 'Oh, I know, I'll be a pile of bugs, that's a good look for me'?! No!"''

A ridiculously average girl turned not-so-average, Jenna's life was one of completely normality until she was inflicted with her superpower. With her previous life now in shambles, Jenna has been working hard to find any way to return herself back to normal.\\
\\
Her power turned her into a hive mind comprised of insects. She can also telepathically project her thoughts.
----
* ChildhoodFriends: She and Destiny were best friends when they were kids. Destiny is the one to calm Jenna down when she starts freaking out over her new body.
* DarkSecret: Jenna writes amateur romance FanFic starring her friends, and would be mortified if anyone ever found out.
* DelayedReaction: Her FreakOut over turning into bugs only happens the day after she's transformed, as she spent her time until then (literally) collecting herself.
* DontLookAtMe: After becoming a horde of bugs, she's understandably scared of people paying attention to her new form.
* FromASingleCell: So long as a single one of Jenna's bugs are alive, she can assimilate more of them to make up for any that she's lost. This makes her very difficult to kill if the opponent isn't careful.
* TheGenericGirl: Jenna is a completely average girl, with little defining characteristics beyond being quiet and shy. At least, that was the case before she was turned into a mass of bugs.
* GuiltyPleasures: Jenna has a hidden passion for trashy {{romance novel}}s.
* HeroicBSOD:
** Crispin completely freaks out at the sight of her, causing Jenna to break down and hide in the closet.
** The news of the school evacuation and Daigo's attempted murder causes her to break down again- ''literally'' this time, as her swarm loses its form and pools out into a pile.
* HiveMind: Once Jenna takes over an insect its mind is purged so that she has full control over its body. In other words, her hundreds of insect bodies are all controlled by one mind.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Understandably, Jenna would rather spend her life as a normal girl than a sentient mass of insects.
* InTheHood: She always has to wear a hoodie to help conceal that she's not exactly human anymore.
* MadnessMantra: She can't stop calling herself a monster after Crispin screams at her and triggers a HeroicBSOD.
* MysteriousAnimalSenses: She doesn't retain her human senses when she turns into a hive mind. Instead, she perceives through the myriad of senses that her insects are equipped with, which she finds to be disorientating.
* NakedFreakOut: In order to kidnap Crispin, Jenna has to ditch her clothes so that her swarm can work at full effectiveness. Once they're back at Vivian's house she realises that she's naked, and screams and tries to cover herself up. Since she's made of bugs, and doesn't have a human body, the others [[TheyJustDontGetIt don't understand what she's freaking out about]].
* NoodleIncident: She mentions offhandedly that, during a TimeSkip, she was able to eat for the first time since becoming a bug swarm. Whatever happened was gross enough that she suppressed the memory.
* PrimalFear: Being that she's now composed of bugs, Jenna is instinctually terrified of fire and panics at the sight of it.
* ShrinkingViolet: Jenna is quiet, shy, and tends to fret over the little things. This has worsened since she gained her power.
* TheSleepless: Her swarm still needs to rest, but there's a lot of them and some are nocturnal, so she's never fully in a state of sleep.
* SupernaturalAngst: Her main source of angst is being forcibly transformed into a walking pile of insects, which is a problem no-one would experience in real life.
* SynchronizedSwarming: While Jenna doesn't have to take on a person-shaped form, she feels most comfortable when doing so. Thus, her bugs will pile on top of each other to form the appearance of a human body.
* TaughtByExperience: Jenna learns how to control her swarm because she has to; her body disintegrates into hundreds of bugs, forcing her to figure out how to control them so she can re-assemble herself.
* {{Telepathy}}: Jenna has a low-level version of telepathy where she can psychically project her thoughts for others to hear. This compensates for her lack of vocal chords.
* TroubledFetalPosition: All the stress and panic from her transformation causes Jenna to lash out against Vivian and then curl up in a ball on the floor, rocking herself back and forth.
* UnwantedAssistance: Luna does ask her to help with kidnapping Crispin, but her swarm enveloping him and Zia only worsens the situation rather than improves it.
* TheWormThatWalks: Her power has transformed her into a form of consciousness that takes control of any nearby insects and uses them to form her physical body. If any of them die, then more insects will be taken over to replace them.

[[folder:Josephine Engel]]
!!Josephine Engel
->'''Played by:''' kaalban
->''"Always be wary. Don’t trust until you are absolutely sure. Even then, doubt."''

Orphaned at a young age, raised by an abusive aunt, and then bullied mercilessly in her past, Josephine has had a hard life and retreated into herself as a result. She's now been adopted by a loving family, but is still working on unlearning her strange coping mechanisms that have kept her safe from trauma. The empowering event has opened up unexpected avenues of friendship for her, though she's hesitant to follow them.\\
\\
Her power is to create and control ice and electricity.
----
* AnIcePerson: One of her powers is ice manipulation. Luckily for everyone, she is not keen with ice puns... As of now.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: She noted that ice shouldn't really be able to conduct electricity, but again, as Josephine herself knows, superpowers aren't exactly physics's greatest friend.
* BadDreams: Josephine experiences nightmares as a result of her traumatic past.
* BullyHunter: She has a strong hatred of bullies after being victim to them in her past. However, she's hesitant to act on her feelings, since she believes that violence isn't the answer.
* ConspiracyTheorist: When she starts panicking, her imagination starts smoking cocaine like there's no tomorrow and comes up with conspiracies that are ludicrous at best and just plain nonsensical at worst.
* CutenessProximity: She sets eyes on Kwang and immediately wants to scoop him up into a hug.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Josephine has a special technique that transforms her into ice, constantly generates electricity, and boosts her other abilities by a significant degree. It's so powerful that, were she to use it, she'd likely die from the strain.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Raised by an abusive aunt, and then bullied at school and online, Josephine's past caused her to develop an unhealthy sense of paranoia. Fortunately, she's since been HappilyAdopted by loving parents.
* DeerInTheHeadlights: When forced to pick between staying in the school, putting her in the way of a bomb, or evacuating, which could potentially put her in danger with the local government agent, Josephine freezes up- literally, her ice power freezes her hands to her desk.
* {{Doublethink}}: The paradoxical nature of Josephine's thoughts causes her a lot of internal conflict. She [[IJustWantToBeLoved wants to be loved]], but also feels she doesn't deserve it. She doesn't think that violence is the answer, but also thinks violence against bullies could be justified. She hates the people that bullied her, but also feels like she deserved it.
* {{Geek}}: Of the ScienceFiction genre in general.
* HiddenDepths: While she appears at first to be a typical ShrinkingViolet, Josephine is also a ConspiracyTheorist with a liking for sci-fi media and metal music.
* JusticeWillPrevail: Josephine has a strong craving for justice as a result of being bullied in her youth. She can't stand by while others suffer, especially at the hands of bullies.
* NeverBeHurtAgain: She's reluctant to let Nadine into her life, as the last time that friendship was offered to her it was just a ruse to bully her further.
* TheParanoiac: Her DarkAndTroubledPast led Josephine to become paranoid and mistrustful of everyone. Her adopted parents have been helping her work on her recovery, but she still has a habit of falling into a conspiratorial mindset when she's panicked.
* PowerIncontinence: After practising with her powers, Josephine experiences an unusual setback: whenever she experiences negative emotions, her body temperature lowers to an abnormal degree in response. When the fire alarm goes off, her panic causes her to freeze her hands to her desk.
* ProperlyParanoid: Most of her time, her conspiracy theories are as ludicrous as one would expect. However, she's right on the money when she suspects Travers of being a government agent.
* TheQuietOne: To others she might seem like this, since she doesn't speak up a lot. Insight into her mind shows that her thoughts are a lot more rambly, she's just reluctant to share them.
* ShockAndAwe: Another power of hers. She can manipulate electricity, which can be conducted through her ice powers.
* ShrinkingViolet: Josephine is very introverted, and suffers from a low self-esteem. She fears that people will think she's annoying if she tries socialising with them. She can barely even manage to say hello when she comes across Hyeon.
* YouAreNotAlone: Nadine's show of friendship, by not hurting Josephine when she steps into the fight and then offering to escape together with her, allows Josephine to remain calm despite the chaos of the evacuation around them.

[[folder:Mirielle Bogdan]]
!!Mirielle Iris Bogdan
->'''Played by:''' secretlyasuperhero
->''"Here, have a cookie. They were baked this morning."''

A girl who's grown up in Oldport despite her temperament being better suited for a Disney film, Mirielle goes out of her way to be as kind, caring, and attentive as possible. Left on the doorstop of the Bogdan bakery, she was raised by parents who are every part as sweet as she is. Her time after the empowerment has been spent trying to understand her power, and through it, the complex web of relationships that weaves around her.\\
\\
Her power is to see the relationships between people, visualised as strings. By pulling on them, she can teleport people (or their fates) to each other.
----
* AccidentalHero: She breaks a navy string during Benjy's confrontation with the cops. No-one, including Mirielle, realises that it prevents the 'bad fate' of Benjy seriously injuring one of the officers.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While normally a nice person, she can become sharp-tongued and adamant if someone messes with her or her friends. Barbra doesn't think that ''anyone'' would want to cross her.
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: One {{flashforward}} revealed a future where Mirielle had gotten together with the anti-social, moody Simon.
* CentipedesDilemma: She realises that she won't trip over the relationship strings if she doesn't think about them. This immediately ''makes'' her think about them, and causes her to trip.
* CharacterTics: Offering people food during introductions, or when they're in distress.
* ChildhoodFriends: She's been friends with Zia for ages, implied to be a result of their mothers being friends too.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: At times, her cheeriness and pre-occupation with food can seem jarring and ignorant to her surroundings. Simon describes her as a little 'away with the fairies' when they first meet.
* CuteClumsyGirl: The strings that she sees take on a physical form, but only in relation to her. This means that she's always tripping over them, which thus far has been played for cute slapstick.
* TheCutie: Mirielle is sweet, polite, kind to everyone, and attentive to others' needs.
* DoorstopBaby: As a newborn she was left on the doorstep of the Bogdan bakery. The Bogdans took her in, and she's been HappilyAdopted since.
* DudeMagnet: Her kind personality has attracted the attention of Simon, Emmanuel, Benjy (before he turned into a bug), and Eric (before he left the RP).
* FamilyBusiness: Her parents run a bakery, which Mirielle intends to take over once they retire.
* TheMatchmaker: Her ability to see and change relationships makes her primed for helping other people hook up. Even before getting her power, she was helping push Zia towards her crush Ciro.
* MeaningfulName: Her name translates to 'miracle', which is what her parents think she is after she [[DoorstopBaby showed up on their doorstep one night]].
* MultiEthnicName: Her surname is Slavic in origin, while her first name is French. The latter was chosen due to her adoptive mother being French.
* NiceGirl: Her defining trait is that she's very kind, and always has food and compliments on hand for everyone.
* PersonalityPowers: She cares a lot about others, and has a romantic outlook. Her power lets her view and change others relationships.
* PortentOfDoom: She can see black strings, which connect a person to their possible death. She figures out that two people are dying in the school when she sees how it affects their black strings.
* RedStringOfFate: Mirielle can see strings that are a physical representation of the relationships between people. Red, of course, means soulmates, but there's a variety of other colours that symbolise different connections. She trips over them a lot.
* SkewedPriorities:
** During the empowering incident, while everyone else is panicking and/or trying to escape, she sets about making bread. Granted, [[ThisIsNoTimeForKnitting she's doing so because she believes food will calm everyone]], but it's still very jarring.
** When Harriet breaks down Sebastian's door and nearly skews Jacob, Mirielle's first instinct is to offer her fondue. She gets called out for it by Jacob:
-->"I almost died because of her! Don't just go offering food!"
* StrangledByTheRedString: She can [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this by manipulating people's strings so that they fall in love, even if they've never met or barely know each other. She can do this with other relationships too, i.e. forcing acquaintances into friends or enemies.
* StringTheory: Upon realising that her power allows her to see the relationships between individuals, Mirielle sets up a chart in her room that attempts to document and string together all the ones she can figure out.
* SupremeChef: Her parents are both bakers, and they passed their skills down to their daughter. She immediately whipped up a meal when she first entered Sebastian's house.
* WindsOfDestinyChange: By pulling on specific strings, Mirielle can change whether a person is going to face good, neutral, or bad events in their future.

[[folder:Rhys Sinclair]]
!!Rhys Sinclair
->'''Played by:''' [=TruthHurts22=]
->''"Rhys's mind snapped to a different topic: headlines. "Finals Week More Chaotic Than Ever.""''

A life of living in the shadow of his father has left Rhys with an egotistical, misanthropic disposition. His dream is to be a writer, despite his parent's wishes, and to that end he's taken charge of the Rogers High School newspaper.\\
\\
His power allows him to write a single word on his body and then have it become reality.
----

* ByThePowerOfGreyskull: In order to use his power, he must first write a word on his body and then call it out loud to have it activate.
* ConspicuousGloves: He wears a pair of thin gloves after getting his powers to hide the words he has to scrawl on his body to activate them.
* FollowInMyFootsteps: His parents wanted him to become a defense lawyer like his father. He discovered his passion for writing in middle school, which led to a rift with his parents and helped contribute to his general misanthropy.
* FriendlessBackground: Doesn't have any desire to spend time with other people, and thus starts the story with no friends (with the shaky exception of Emmanuel).
* HumansAreBastards: Wholly believes that humanity is inherently flawed and that he's the only person capable of doing 'the right thing'.
* IntrepidReporter: Rhys first gets involved with the plot when he sights one of the students acting suspiciously, and decides to follow along to help get to the bottom of what's happening with the superpowers.
* LonersAreFreaks: While he used to socialise with his classmates, his increasing disillusionment with the world and interest in writing caused him to distance himself from everyone, eventually leading to him becoming an outcast.
* MyNaymeIs: He considers his name pretentious since it's spelled 'Rhys' instead of 'Reese', and is annoyed by people asking him how it's pronounced.
* PowerIncontinence: The shock of accidentally shooting Carlie causes his power to spontaneously activate on its own.
* TheQuietOne: Before the empowerment he kept to himself, rarely speaking and instead staying in his own head to judge the people around him.
* SchoolNewspaperNewsHound: He runs the school newspaper, and dedicates most of his time to writing for it. Even though, prior to the empowering, [[NothingExcitingEverHappensHere there wasn't a lot to write about]]. His dream in the future is to become a writer for the NY Times.
* SemanticSuperpower: Rhys can potentially summon any object that he wishes, or modify his body in an untold amount of ways. This is because his power allows him to modify reality based on what he writes on his body. Since he's limited to one word per usage, he has to get creative to make full use of it.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Rhys thinks he's better than everyone around him, and inflates his few achievements in his head to 'prove' it. The reality is that, while he's not particularly terrible at anything, he's also not much more notable than anyone else.
* StoicSpectacles: He has a pair of black-rimmed specs that match with his withdrawn, misanthropic personality.
* WordsCanBreakMyBones: His power allows him to write a word on himself and then have it affect reality. For example, if he writes 'Gunshot' on his finger, it allows him to temporarily use a [[FingerFirearms literal finger gun]].

[[folder:Sebastian Smith & Fesxis]]
!!Sebastian Smith
->'''Played by:''' [=Cwest5538=]
->''"Normally though, I wouldn’t skip school, but I feel like this takes a bit more priority over learning from a textbook."''

What he lacks in height, Sebastian more than makes up with his kind attitude and great sense of adventure. With his parents busy with work, Sebastian has had to fend for himself, but that doesn't stop him from loving them dearly. After gaining his power, Sebastian has spent most of his time learning how to harness it, with the helpful hand of a peculiar mentor to guide him.\\
\\
His power, granted to him by Fesxis, is to control shadows.
----
* AlliterativeName: He notes that his alliterative name isn't super exciting, but does sound good for a budding author.
* AsLethalAsItNeedsToBe: His power to manipulate shadows allows him to alternate freely between weapons that are blunt and ones that are pointed.
* BoldExplorer: Sebastian loves adventuring, and can usually be found hiking or exploring.
* CantTakeCriticism: It's subtle, but Sebastian gets annoyed when people criticise him out of the blue and will usually try to justify his actions rather than relinquish the point.
* CastFromStamina:
** He can expend energy in order to increase the power and range of his shadowy attacks.
** Fesxis can manifest herself in the real world, but doing so would drain Sebastian a great amount. Thus, she only does so if he's unconscious.
* CastingAShadow: Sebastian's power allows him to manipulate his shadow to various effects, such as creating weapons, grappling opponents, etc.
* EmpathicWeapon: Fesxis describes his shadow manipulation as an extension of his will. This means that the shadows he controls are semi-empathetic, and can react subtly to his mood and intentions.
* {{Facepalm}}: Sebastian's favoured technique when he thinks the people around him are being foolish.
* GainingTheWillToKill: Fesxis believes that Sebastian will eventually have to use his powers to kill, and implies that she chose him as a host because she thinks he'll find killing easier than the other characters.
* HeroicHost: By playing host to Fesxis, Sebastian is granted his ability to manipulate shadows.
* IncompatibleOrientation: He used to have a crush on Jae, a lesbian. Though it eventually faded over time, in a way that was unrelated to her sexuality.
* InvisibleParents: Sebastian's parents are often pretty busy, meaning that he doesn't see them much. He still loves them, though.
* MagicalGesture: For Sebastian's power to work, he has to make some form of physical gesture in order to direct the shadow he's controlling.
* NiceGuy: Sebastian is a naturally warm person, and accommodates others without even a thought.
* ObliviousToLove: He's unaware that Amy used to like him, or that his friend Rose likes him now.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Because of his [[TinySchoolboy diminutive height]], Sebastian is often mistaken for being younger than he is.
* {{Protectorate}}: As part of being symbiotically connected with him, Fesxis has sworn to protect Sebastian.
* SayingTooMuch: When calling out David for blaming the voice in his head for his attempted murder, Sebastian accidentaly lets slip about the voice in his ''own'' head.
* SirSwearsALot: He swears a surprising amount, showing himself to be an uninhibited person.
* SurvivalMantra: Sebastian mutters "Stay calm" to himself while trying to, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin stay calm]] and escape the locked school.
* ThisMeansWar: Carlie getting shot as a result of Daigo's actions causes Sebastian to attack Daigo with much more ruthlessness than he'd been exhibiting up until that point, aiming at him with pointed spears rather than blunted ones.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: A platonic example. Sebastian is 4'9", tied for one of the shortest members of the cast. Fesxis, meanwhile, is 9 foot tall, almost twice his height.

!!Fesxis
->'''Played by:''' [=Cwest5538=]
->''"I am young, but I am already powerful. When I achieve my full power, I shall serve Sebastian however he sees fit for as long as he lives."''

When Sebastian was attacked by the power-infusing smoke, an eldritch being took notice and stepped in to protect him. A spirit that has lived for centuries and seen it all, Fesxis shacks up in Sebastian's body and dedicates herself to keeping him alive.\\
\\
While she doesn't have a power, she can manifest her physical form if Sebastian is unconscious. She's much stronger, faster, and durable than a human.
----
* AlienAmongUs: Her origin is unknown, but she came from another world and shacked up in Sebastian's body to serve as his protector. Humour is drawn from the fact that her normal method of operation is a lot more murderous than is usually required for the problems that Sebastian faces.
* DeadpanSnarker: She has a very acerbic wit. Much of her time is spent being snarky towards Sebastian.
* DemBones: Fesxis' body is said to roughly resemble that of a human skeleton; however, she's much larger, has claws and fangs, and the actual composition of her body seems closer to chitin than to bone.
* DistinctionWithoutADifference: Sebastian starts freaking out when he realises that Daigo has murdered two people. Fesxis helpfully clarifies that it's ''attempted'' murder, since neither of them are actually dead yet.
* GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath: To complement her overall skeletal look, Fesxis' eye sockets glow with an unnerving [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] light.
* HiddenDepths: Fesxis is a pragmatic, eldritch shadow spirit with a liking for audiobooks and Music/BonJovi.
* IntelligentGerbil: While ostensibly an inter-dimensional being, Fesxis' skull is noted to resemble that of a doe.
* IntriguedByHumanity: Fesxis doesn't really understand how humans work, though she's slowly learning via living inside Sebastian's body.
* MentorArchetype: She serves as a mentor to Sebastian, teaching him how to use his power and remain calm while doing so. She also reaches out at one point to help Zia with her newfound telepathy.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Finn lists a number of options to deal with the transformed Benjy, with the last resort being murder. Fesxis then counters that killing him is the ideal solution, insisting that Benjy's death would be beneficial to them.
* NoPronunciationGuide: Her name is pronounced "fek-zis". This wasn't made immediately clear and had to be clarified behind the scenes.
* NotYourProblem: Fesxis has advised Sebastian to stay out of situations that don't directly affect him, advice he usually ignored in favour of his heroic instincts.
* OutsideContextProblem: Fesxis isn't related to the smoke snakes that gave everyone powers. Rather, she's a completely different eldritch entity that was drawn by the disturbance the snakes caused.
* SophisticatedAsHell: Fesxis usually speaks in a formal manner, which makes it stick out when she quotes crass human idioms.
-->"I believe this situation is known as a clusterfuck."
* SpiritAdvisor: She can speak to Sebastian while possessing his body, but he's the only one capable of hearing her. She's often offering him advice or tutoring him on how to use his power.
* SymbioticPossession: Fesxis possessed Sebastian during the empowering incident. While she isn't capable of controlling him, she can manifest herself if he loses consciousness.
* TimeAbyss: Fesxis has lived for so long that she's possessed hundreds of bodies, and been everything from a destroyer to a saviour. This has shaped her philosophy, leading her to develop a personal {{code of honour}} rather than act aimlessly like she's done for so long.
* TheUnfettered: Fesxis' personal code is to protect her host through any means necessary. Even if this means sacrificing lives or other unethical acts. Since she's non-corporeal most of the time, this typically manifests as her giving pragmatic advice to Sebastian that he doesn't want to follow.
* UnwantedAssistance: A lot of her advice to Sebastian involves murder to some degree. Sebastian doesn't appreciate it, and ignores her in favour of less violent solutions.

!!Simon Barclay/The Dark Dragon
->'''Played by:''' [=LizardOfAus=]
->''"Words cannot express how much I do not want any part of this craziness. But at this stage, I'm getting the feeling that while I'm done with it, this is not done with me."''
->''"I'm the man that's not afraid to be what 'e really is under all the rules an' chains. I'm the little guy on your left-'and shoulder, tellin' you to enjoy yerself for once. I'm the bullet that goes between the eyes o' the real monsters. I'm every puny worm that ever got sick of bein' shat on, kicked about, shouted down an' told they were ugly, fat, stupid and foul."''

Simon is an asocial and broody young man, content with keeping himself to himself and actively avoiding socialisation with others. Originally from Britain, he was orphaned at a young age and adopted by an American couple that brought him to live in Oldport. Trauma from his past has led to him taking medication, though as of late he's been finding himself slipping off the wagon a little. Upon receiving his power, Simon has been trying his best to put it out of mind and enjoy an ordinary life.\\
\\
The Dark Dragon is an alternate personality that lives inside Simon, taking over their shared body when Simon experiences intense moments of weakness. Rude, crass, and psychopathically violent, he's not one to be crossed. Upon receiving his power, Dark Dragon has been trying his hardest to flip Simon's life upside-down and leave chaos everywhere in their wake.\\
\\
His power is to manipulate plasma.
----
* AccentSlipUp: He's still getting used to an American accent, and sometimes slips back into his native British.
* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Simon doesn't remember what happens when the Dark Dragon personality takes over. He was rather shocked when he regained control at one point and found himself stark naked and stuck in a tree.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: The Dark Dragon is a supervillain who's power allows him to manipulate fire.
* TheAssimilator: Simon can absorb electricity. Luna can turn into electricity. The result, when Luna meets the Dark Dragon, is him absorbing her essence into him. He becomes even more powerful with her electricity coursing through him, but also struggles to keep her from escaping.
* BadDreams: Simon has to take medication to help deal with the nightmares he experiences as a result of his past. When he stops taking his meds, the bad dreams return.
* BerserkButton: The Dark Dragon (and Simon, though he represses it) is enraged by the very presence of police officers, implied to be a result of experiencing PoliceBrutality in their past.
* BigEntrance: The Dark Dragon specifically makes sure that he has at least one witness before he bursts through the bathroom door, making himself as intimidating as possible.
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: One {{flashforward}} revealed a future where Simon had gotten together with sweet, kind Mirielle. He's been hinted at having interest in her during the present time.
* BystanderSyndrome: Struggles with the idea of getting involved when he realises that his teacher is a government agent. He first tries to distance himself from the problem, then berates himself for doing nothing whilst the other kids could be put in the danger, and then ultimately subverts the trope by warning the others of Travers' presence.
* CardCarryingVillain: While Simon is a moody but morally decent young man, his alter ego- the Dark Dragon- revels in being as openly, bombastically dickish as he can manage.
* CasanovaWannabe: Dark Dragon considers himself sexy and suave, the reality being that his lecherous personality is a big turn-off.
* TheCorrupter: The Dark Dragon constantly tries to goad Simon into using his power to hurt others.
* DarkIsEvil: Normally downplayed, as Simon's black hair and clothes indicate that he's a jerk rather than evil. This trope is in full effect when he switches to his Dark Dragon persona.
* DeadpanSnarker: Simon has a snide remark for any situation that he finds himself in. He doesn't often verbalise them, though.
* ElementalAbsorption:
** He's able to absorb external sources of fire, which comes in handy when Michal loses control of his fire power.
** He can also absorb lightning, as shown when Luna transforms into her lightning form and gets trapped inside his body.
* ElementalPowers: Simon (or rather, [[SuperpoweredEvilSide the Dark Dragon]]) has the ability to manipulate plasma, which he can use to create [[PlayingWithFire fire]] and [[ShockAndAwe electricity]].
* EnemyWithin: The Dark Dragon is Simon's split personality. While Simon isn't exactly a saint, the Dragon revels in being evil and causing mayhem for the fun of it.
* {{Escapism}}: He joins the Acting Club because he's attracted by the idea of taking on a persona and escaping from himself for a while.
* EvilBrit: One of the Dark Dragon's most distinctive traits is his thick Cockney accent, which is opposed to the lighter accent that Simon has normally.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: One of the first things the Dark Dragon does after taking over Simon's body is insult his fashion sense and replace it with an [[DarkIsEvil all-black]] ensemble.
* EvilIsHammy: As opposed to Simon, who keeps himself low key most of the time, the Dark Dragon loves to creates a scene and revels in the chance to laugh like a maniac or go on villainous diatribes.
-->"Oh, man, tha's just askin' for an over-dramatic speech o' malice, dread, an' bigging meself up."
* EvilLaugh: The Dark Dragon indulges in a deep bout of laughter after he successfully hijacks Simon's body.
* FreakOut: A culmination of getting superpowers, skipping medication, seeing what he believes are hallucinations, and having the nurse call his parents causes Simon to panic and destroy the nurse's office. This lapse allows the Dark Dragon to take control of his body.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: In the present, Simon is a regular boy with an evil personality that's satisfied with cruel but petty crime. {{Flashforward}}s have shown that Simon becomes the head of an FBI division dedicated to capturing superheroes, while the Dark Dragon moniker becomes an evil organisation that kidnaps and tortures the superpowered kids.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: His eyes glow with overflowing plasma after he absorbs Luna, which is a very bad sign for everyone else still in the scene.
* GrumpyBear: Of the main characters, Simon is easily one of the most dour. He refuses to get involved with the antics of others, and would rather be left alone than take up any offer of companionship.
* GuiltyPleasures: He likes working out to exercise videos. Specifically cheesy ones from the eighties.
* HappilyAdopted: Simon was adopted and moved over to the States when he was a child. While he does have a [[DarkAndTroubledPast lot of]] [[EnemyWithin hang-ups]], his relationship with his parents is shown to be strong and caring.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Simon would ''love'' not to be plagued with nightmares, powers, and an evil alter ego.
* ImprobableAge: Simon of the future leads the Post-Human Division when he's just 22 years old. This is {{lampshaded}} by Eddie, who's terrified at what Simon did to get his job at such a young age.
* LonersAreFreaks: He doesn't suffer fools lightly and prefers to be left alone. Other characters have tried to become involved with him, but he's vehemently denied them at every turn. His mother is working to change this, and encourages him to get involved in social situations whenever he can.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: He grabs a surgical mask from the nurse's office and marks it with an evil grin. The fashion passes down to the Dark Dragon group in the future, who all wear half-masks to mark them as a member.
* MysteriousPast: Simon doesn't remember anything from before he was twelve. What hints have been offered about it [[DarkAndTroubledPast haven't been pleasant]]: whatever happened has given him nightmares and burn marks on his skin, and is doubtlessly tied to the evil Dark Dragon.
* NoMedicationForMe: Simon grew so bored with his current life that he slacked off on taking his neuroleptic medication. This lapse caused him to start having nightmares, and contributed to the Dark Dragon taking control over his body.
* NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow: The emergence of his powers comes with a body temperature that would've killed a regular person, as the school nurse notes:
-->"Mr. Barclay, I'm going to do this test again, and I hope to God this thermometer's broken. Because if these readings are correct... then you should ''not'' be alive right now."
* NotAnAct: His behaviour is called out as strange by Emmanuel, who thinks that the smoke snakes did something to alter Simon's personality. [[RightForTheWrongReasons He is correct that an outside force is responsible]], but the Dark Dragon insists that it isn't an act and is just how he is.
* ObliviousToLove: Simon barely even realises who Ivy is, let alone that she has a deep crush on him.
* PaintingTheMedium: He's the only character who's written in first-person, as opposed to the third-person of everyone else. This allows a better understanding of the split personality that exists in his head.
* PersonalityPowers: The Dark Dragon represents the worst qualities associated with fire and electricity: volatile, unpredictable, and [[PsychoElectro psycho]].
* PstandardPsychicPstance: Simon puts a hand to his head in an attempt to better focus his powers. It doesn't work.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The Dark Dragon's attitude towards females is, at best, creepy and misogynistic.
* PowerHigh: Dark Dragon absorbs Luna's power into his body while gushing about how good it feels, how he feels pumped up and overflowing with it, all the while making his usual dirty jokes.
* PsychicLink: It's implied that the Dark Dragon has some form of mental connection to Finn, as he's able to see some of the flashforwards that Finn experiences.
* RapidFireNo: His response to seeing the smoke snakes, with the cadence and associated action of every 'no' being lovingly detailed.
* RedPillBluePill: He realises that taking his medication dulls his powers, and has to make a choice whether he wants to continue doing so or put it off and see what happens. He takes the latter option so he can experiment with his power.
* RefusalOfTheCall: Simon tries as hard as he can to stay away from anything related to the empowering incident. It only works for so long before the Dark Dragon takes over, and then later his mother all but forces him to meet with the other superpowered kids.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: So that he isn't constantly hurting himself, Simon and Dark Dragon are immune to the heat that their plasma generates. This proves to be useful when they hitch a ride with [[SuperSpeed Emmanuel]], as they're protected from the heat generated by the speed friction.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Simon isn't actually capable of accessing his power, at least not to a notable degree. The Dark Dragon is the one that can manipulate plasma, and so the personalities have to swap before the power can be used properly.
* ThirdPersonPerson: During his transition between Simon and Dark Dragon, he refers to each personality as their name and by 'me' and 'him' interchangeably.
* TraumaButton: Dragons. A single picture of one can dreg up his nightmares centred around them.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Dark Dragon adopts a Cockney accent so thick that it baffles a camerawoman that he interacts with.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: The Dark Dragon has a chance to flash-fry Emmanuel, but doesn't go through with it since he [[ItAmusedMe wouldn't find it fun]].
* WickedCultured: Inverted; Simon is a formal {{bookworm}} with an interest in Shakespeare, while his evil personality is much more rowdy and coarse.

[[folder:Zia Brayne]]
!!Zia Brayne
->'''Played by:''' [=Lt.BGob=]
->''"Drive me insane? Too bloody late, man..."''

A spirited and sardonic young woman, Zia's experienced a fair amount of trauma in her life and is still fighting against the effect it's had on her mental health. When she isn't working as a music tutor, she can be found exercising or enjoying the social life she's gradually been able to carve out for herself. Zia's primary concern after gaining her superpower has been learning to control it, though flashes to the future have shown her in a more authoritative role.\\
\\
Her power is telepathy, mind control, and mind manipulation.
----
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In original DONA, Zia had only recently become acquainted with Ciro. In ''Oldport Blues'' they've been friends since they were eight.
* BandGeek: Mixed with a generous helping of punk, Zia is a multi-instrumental musician who tutors for other students at the school.
* BiTheWay: Is (privately) sexually attracted to men and women, but mostly men when it comes to romantic relationships.
* CharacterTic: When concentrating deeply on her power, Zia will unconsciously tap out a 6/8 beat.
* ChildhoodFriends: She has two; Mirielle, who's been her friend and confidant for years, and Ciro, who she protected from bullies and has been friends with ever since ([[ChildhoodFriendRomance though she'd like to take it up a notch]]).
* CloseToHome: Her murder of Daigo's monster affects her even more once she realises that the hole she pierced in its head is similar to the way that her father committed suicide by gun.
* CountryMatters: It's made blatantly clear that she's not a fan of Daigo when she calls him a 'raging cunt'.
* CryLaughing: She has a good laugh after killing Daigo's monster, which quickly breaks down into tears.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her father shot himself, she was bullied at school for her bad skin, and then her mother got diagnosed with cancer and required Zia's constant care while she recovered, leading to most of Zia's friends moving away and leaving her behind. While she keeps up a cheerful facade, she's still dealing with the depression that all of the above has inflicted on her.
* {{Delinquents}}: She has the style of one, with dyed hair, piercings, punk attire, and a rebellious attitude towards society.
* DisappearedDad: Her father was DrivenToSuicide when she was young, which adversely affected her for years.
* DontYouDarePityMe: She doesn't like when people pity her; partly because it's not always genuine, partly because she feels uncomfortable talking about her feelings, and partly because she thinks she can handle herself and her business is her own.
* DreamWalker: Her telepathy allows her to view other's dreams while they sleep. Downside being that it prevents her getting a good night's sleep.
* DrivenToSuicide: One time, when she was younger, her depression reached the point where she was seriously considering ending everything. Obviously she was able to work through the hurdle, and has been making a very slow recovery.
* DudeMagnet: Michal, Marko, and (before he [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome left the RP]]) Hans all have crushes on Zia. {{Flashforward}}s have shown her in a FriendsWithBenefits relationship with Hyeon, and she has UnresolvedSexualTension with her childhood friend Ciro.
* DyeHard: Her hair has been dyed purple for many years and most other students don't remember her original hair colour.
* EthicalSlut: A private one.
* FlippingTheBird: Gives a salty middle finger to Simon's back as he staunchly keeps to himself and refuses to join her group.
* FriendsWithBenefits: In the flashforward segments it is heavily implied that she and Hyeon [[{{Pun}} make beautiful music together]] in their spare time without being in a serious relationship.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: She has some experience with fighting from having to fend off Ciro's bullies, but no formal training. She does have a strong edge in that her telepathy allows her to read her opponent's moves.
* HollywoodPsych: Averted. Zia seems to have persistent depression, anxiety and potentially some mild OCD but are not very obvious to casual observers. Implied she is considerably better adjusted than she once was.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Having the ability to read everybody's mind all the time is quite the hassle, and if given the choice Zia would rather be rid of her power. [[DePower She gets her wish]] in one {{flashforward}}.
* ItsAllMyFault: One aspect of her mental issues is the persistent idea that everything is her fault. It's a thought process that she's been trying to fight against.
* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Being able to read minds has exposed Zia to some gruesome sights. Reading Daigo's mind gave her the 'pleasant' image of his first victim, a man drained of all his blood.
* MindControl: It's entirely possible for Zia to achieve this, as evidenced by when she [[PowerIncontinence accidentally]] took control of Jessica and Ivy's pulmonary systems to nearly asphyxiate them.
* MomentOfWeakness: A recurring problem once she receives her power. She chokes out Ivy and Jessica in a fit of anger, and in a flashforward is shown trying to strangle Ivy again at the mention of Finn. Both times she's horrified at what she's done.
* NewSuperPower: One flashforward showed that her telepathy has the potential of developing further into [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]].
* NobodyLovesTheBassist: Zia played bass in former garage bands, but generally prefers to describe herself as a pianist due to the lack of popularity that comes with being a bassist.
* OddFriendship: She has many of these:
** Her strong, rebellious personality couldn't be more different than Ciro's gentle, conventional one, but that didn't stop her from befriending and later developing a crush on him.
** Likewise, Mirielle is a kind-hearted girl with a saccharine upbringing, but nevertheless is Zia's best friend.
** A mutual love of musicals led to Zia and Ivan becoming friends, even though he's quiet and observational and she's loud and dynamic.
* OnlySaneWoman:
** Before the empowering event, she comes across a group of students about to break a window with a guitar. This is before anything has suggested that something strange is happening. She immediately steps in and calls them out for overreacting.
--->"What the hell are you talking about - the powers out and there are some locked doors and windows. It's not the end of the bloody world."
** Later on she's one of the students who actively opposes the idea of killing Benjy, perturbed at how willing the others were to jump to murder.
* PerceptionFilter: One possible application of Zia's telepathy is that she could alter people's minds so that they aren't aware of her, effectively making her invisible to their senses.
* PluckyGirl: Zia has gone through a higher quota of trauma than most, and has [[StepfordSmiler locked some of it away behind her smile]], but she's determined not to let it overtake her, and has a cheerful, quirky personality.
* PowerIncontinence:
** She can't turn her telepathy off, which means that she's always hearing everyone else's thoughts.
** When she first received her powers, she was so overwhelmed that she accidentally caused the other students in the vicinity to lose consciousness.
** She nearly [[AccidentalMurder killed two students]] because she lost control of her power while frustrated.
* PowerStrainBlackout: The shock and pain from using her telepathy to explode the brain of Daigo's creature causes her to collapse on the spot.
* PsychicGlimpseOfDeath: When Devin and Carlie are seriously wounded, Zia is able to feel all the sensation in their bodies through her telepathy as they rapidly encroach on death.
* PsychicStrangle: Zia nearly uses her psychic power to asphyxiate Ivy and Jessica. She's horrified at herself once she calms down.
* PunnyName: Zia ''Brayne'' developed the power to control people's minds.
* RebelliousSpirit: As a self-described punk, Zia has no qualms with sticking it to society and breaking the rules.
* SeeingThroughAnothersEyes: Can experience what those around her are thinking, feeling and seeing.
* SirSwearsALot: Her speech is peppered with swears, much moreso than most other members of the cast.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's one of the tallest characters in the cast, and the second tallest girl behind Luna. She's also one of the most popular when it comes to romantic relations.
* StepfordSnarker: Zia is often cheerfully sarcastic, but it's a front for the years of depression she's suffered after her father committed suicide. This also happens in stressful situations, where she'll make wisecracks to hide her tension.
* {{Telepathy}}: Zia has telepathy directly inspired by [[ComicBook/XMen Charles Xavier]]. Not only can she read minds, but she can manipulate and paralyse them.
* ThousandYardStare: One future has her sporting a vacant stare similar to that of {{shell shocked veteran}}s. It's one of many things that indicates something terrible happened to her.
* TragicKeepsake: Her father's bass guitar, which she sleeps with the night after she gets her powers.
* TraumaticHaircut: It's implied that, in the future, her distinctive purple hair is forcibly shaved off during her detainment by the Dark Dragon.

->'''Played by:''' whizzerd
->''"We couldn't sleep. Sorry..."''
->''"You couldn't sleep. And you kept talking and talking and keeping me awake."''

Ciro's younger sister and brother. They both attend the Rogers High Elementary School.
----
* BrattyHalfPint: Headstrong and prideful, Elly doesn't hesitate to let her opinion be known, and often does so in an aggravating manner.
* ConstantlyCurious: Both of them are endowed with the natural curiosity of children their age, but Don in particular will happily spew question after question about anything that interests him.
* CorrelationCausationGag: Elly recounts a story of her classmate, who didn't eat her carrots and then had to wear glasses. Thus, not eating vegetables makes you go blind. She's making up the connection to wind up her brother.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Elly briefly shows up in a phone call before either of them appear in person.
* {{Fanboy}}: Don is a huge fan of ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'', particularly Donatello, in part because they basically share a name.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Both of them are much younger, and thus much less serious than Ciro. A wedge that's driven even further by Ciro essentially acting as a [[PromotionToParent parent]] to them a lot of the time.
* HarmfulToMinors: Daigo and Melissa try and use their pet monster to threaten the two kids into silence. When they instead run away, the monster gives chase, and comes within inches of eating them alive. They suffer from some bad nights afterwards.
* InSeriesNickname: They usually go by their diminutives Elly and Don. Elly sometimes gets shortened even further to El.
* SiblingYinYang: Elly is boisterous with a mean streak, while Don is more reserved and polite. And they're both a far cry from their responsible, overworked older brother.
* SpannerInTheWorks: They end up derailing Daigo's plan to use his monster to kill the rich, simply by showing up while he's testing the monster's power. The end result is the superpowered kids arriving and killing the monster before it can harm anyone.
* SuperGullible: Don, because of how young he is. He believes his sister's claim that not eating carrots makes you blind, and is just as quick to believe that Daigo's monster is just a guy in a costume.

Hyeon's older cousin, and his legal guardian. He works out of state, leading to Hyeon living by himself.
----
* ChildhoodFriend: Hyeon mentions that they've been friends since they were kids, on top of being cousins.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He's introduced cussing Hyeon out for messing up the school, setting the foundation of their vitriolic friendship.
* ExhaustedEyeBags: Being chronically overworked has left him with an impressive set of black bags.
* OneSteveLimit: An aversion, as he shares his first name with Jae Hyung. In a bit of {{irony}}, the other Jae has a rivalry going on with Hyeon.
* PromotionToParent: After Hyeon's grandmother passed away, he was left in Jae's custody. Whenever Hyeon gets in trouble with the administration, Jae has to be the one to deal with it.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: He's so busy with work that he doesn't have time to check on Hyeon unless the latter is causing problems.

->''"You try and keep calm when you're dealing with a kid who could've burned himself just because he wanted to make some video!"''

Ivy's mother. Works as a Chemistry teacher at Rogers High School.
----
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Downplayed, but her fond recollection of Ivy's childhood does elicit the classic exasperated ''"Mom."'' from her daughter.
* GoodParents: She's shown to be a decent mother towards Ivy, who is understanding when Ivy reveals her powers and just wants what's safest for her daughter.
* LookalikeLovers: Downplayed; Tracy is Asian while her husband Larry is white, but they and Ivy all have matching glasses.
* TheMatchmaker: A platonic variation. She's pleased when it seems that Ivy and Luna are hanging out again, and urges them to spend more time together.
* PrecisionFStrike: Her EstablishingCharacterMoment has her swear in front of her daughter, used to show that she's much more casual around Ivy than her husband or students.
* SecretKeeper: She and her husband know about Ivy's power, but keep it a secret for the sake of her safety.
* SternTeacher: Ivy notes that her mother has a reputation for being a strict teacher.

Ivy's father. Works in the technology sector out of town.
----

* AffectionateNickname: "Sweetpea" for his daughter Ivy.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Moreso than his wife, Larry has a cute nickname for his daughter and has thoroughly researched the 'teenage lifestyle' so he can be prepared for whatever she throws at him.
* LookalikeLovers: Downplayed; Larry is white and Tracy is Asian, but they and Ivy all wear similar glasses.
* SecretKeeper: He and his wife know about Ivy's power, but keep it a secret for the sake of her safety.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: He works at a software company out of town, and thus his work schedule isn't very compatible with Ivy's routine. They've had trouble connecting to each other as a result.

[[folder:Mrs. Miller]]
!!Mrs. Miller
->'''Played by:''' pillowmantis
->''"Never talk to that girl. Anyone that would allow someone else to make that kind of mistake shouldn't be associated with."''

Jacob's mother. She gave up her job so she could dedicate herself entirely to raising her son.
----
* AbusiveParents: Mrs. Miller forced all her expectations onto Jacob, which eventually developed into her emotionally abusing him if he didn't match up to her standards. His [[ScheduleFanatic obsession with routine]] is his way of coping with it.
* EducationMama: She won't even let Jacob in the house until he's finished his studying, and only then if he gets most of the answers correct.
* {{Housewife}}: After Jacob was born, she quit her job so that she could look after him. This gives her free reign of the house and his life while her husband works.
* MyBelovedSmother: She takes this to the extreme; dictating how Jacob's life should be, demanding he tell her everything that happens in his day, and meddling in his social life until he has none.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: While it's clear to the readers that she treats her son horribly, people in story remain unaware because she seems so charming and nice to talk to.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Tom is noted to be a hulk of a man, clearing six feet with large muscles, while his wife is much slimmer and smaller.
* RedStringOfFate: Mirielle's power lets her see that they have a red string connecting them, signalling that they're soulmates.
* SickeninglySweethearts: Their interactions towards each other and their daughter are pure concentrated sugar.

Simon's mother. She works as a biology teacher at Oldport's middle school.
----
* AngerBornOfWorry: Simon going AWOL and skipping his medication makes her angry because she was so worried about what could've happened with him.
* DistinctionWithoutADifference: She's angry after Simon forgets his medication. When he points it out, she phrases it instead as her being 'pissed off'.
* MeddlingParents: She wants what's best for Simon, which manifests as her involving herself in his life and worrying over him more than he would like.

Zia's mother. She's the music teacher at Rogers High School.
----
* GoodParents: Her relationship with Zia is shown to be strong and trusting. When Zia hides her telepathy from her mother, Ms. Brayne grows concerned and urges her daughter to let her know what's wrong.
* LamarckWasRight: Her daughter, much like herself and her husband, has a proclivity towards music.
* StrugglingSingleMother: She works as a teacher, takes care of the house, and always frets over her daughter and deceased husband. Despite her tiredness from it all, she powers through.

Characters that existed before their players dropped out or moved on to a different character. [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome They have since disappeared from the roleplay.]]
----
[[folder:David Livingston]]
!!David Livingston
->'''Played by:''' Enirboreh

A cold and calculating young man, ostracised for his aloof demeanour and intelligence. After getting his power, he races to become the most powerful of all of the empowered.\\
\\
His power was the manipulation of zero-point energy.
----
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Zero-point energy is a theoretical and highly debated substance that anybody lacking a physics major is going to struggle to understand. Thus, some liberties are taken with David's power to make it simpler and more accessible.
* BerserkButton: If he feels like he's being mocked or ignored, even in the slightest, then he quickly becomes spiteful and aggressive.
* CharacterTics: He has a coin that he tends to bring out and flip. He also uses it to practice or demonstrate his power.
* CreatorThumbprint: His trademark coin is similar in style to the player's previous character, who carried a toothpick everywhere he went.
* EvilGloating: When his power is mocked he drops all pretense of politeness and goes into a speech about all that he's capable of, gleefully insulting the listener as he does so.
* IcyBlueEyes: David has a pair of glaring blue peepers, which match with his cold personality.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: David feels threatened by the amount of power that the others wield, and so tries to overcompensate by becoming as powerful as he possibly can.
* InsufferableGenius: He's cold and selfish, but he's also a TeenGenius that has the intelligence to back-up his arrogant personality.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Irene agrees with his pursuit of infinite energy for the world. However, the way he tries to force the idea on her turns her off from engaging with it.
* KarmaHoudini: He doesn't face justice for his attempted murder of Irene, since him going to jail would likely expose their superpowers to the public.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: While he's tempted to stick around for the fight in the car park, he decides the smarter move is to make a break for it before he's caught off-guard again.
* NamedLikeMyName: His name is one letter off from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Livingstone David Livingstone]]. This has led to people calling him 'Dr. Livingstone', much to his annoyance.
* PeekABangs: His blond hair covers one eye, which is used to show that he's asocial and distant.
* PerpetualFrowner: He's described as someone who rarely smiles. And when he does smile, [[TheUnsmile it's not particularly a good thing]].
* QuantumMechanicsCanDoAnything: A short list of the potential applications of David's power includes levitation, momentum creation, energy generation, attraction and repulsion, paralysis, liquidization... and those are only the ones that he's theorised thus far. If it can be explained away as 'quantum mechanics', then David can probably do it.
* SeekerArchetype: He has a thirst of knowledge, and his involvement with the other characters starts because he's intent on learning their various powers.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: He's one of the shortest cast members at 5'3, and is also one of the ones who excels the most intellectually.
* SwissArmySuperpower: David's power allows him to manipulate zero-point energy. However, by doing so, he can affect other energies that are adjacent to ZPE, like gravity or heat.
* TeenGenius: Despite being only 15, he has a highly intuitive mind and a prodigal understanding of theoretical physics. It's how he can understand his complex ability to control zero-point energy.
* TheUnapologetic: He refuses to apologise to Irene after he tries to kill her, trying to justify it as him being NotHimself and thus not culpable for his actions.
* AWolfInSheepsClothing: On the surface, David is polite and is working towards an altruistic goal. This is mostly just to hide and justify his selfish, grandeur motivations.

[[folder:Eric Coulson]]
!!Eric Coulson
->'''Played by:''' Enirboreh

A scruffy, bearded teen who puts up a tough front, leaving him with little friends and little reason to care what people think. Despite this, he shows repeatedly that he will go out of his way to help people, no matter the cost.\\
\\
His power was to hideously shift into a monster, with each stage of transformation more bestial and powerful than the last.
----
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Something that he doesn't seem embarrassed about. Even though he may seem tough, he's still a teen, and there are some things that he either can't or doesn't want to hide behind a tough guy exterior.
* PainfulTransformation: He suffers one every time he mutates, although repeated use of a certain Stage will eventually decrease both the amount of effort and anger required to shift into that form.
* ParentalAbandonment: The primary reason he puts on his tough front. Both of his parents are heavily involved in a famous clothing business, leaving little time for them to take care of him, although they did graciously provide him with a fairly large amount of money to let him take care of himself. This forced Eric to learn how to act older than he was to survive in the world, but he doesn't show any obvious resentment for his parent's behaviour, in fact he seems to prefer it.

[[folder:Hans Schultz]]
!!Hans Schultz
->'''Played by:''' [=NickTheSwing=]

Hans Schultz is a troubled young man- his early tween years were spent in a Neo-Nazi organization called Heritage Battlefront, in which he committed hateful acts. By the modern day, due to an attempted frame up, he has renounced his ties to them and resolved to atone for his time in HB.\\
\\
His power was Vector Control, which allowed him to control the vectors that most everything moves along.
----
* AllGermansAreNazis: Subverted- Hans used to be a Nazi, and still hates himself for it.
* BerserkButton: Ever since leaving his Neo-Nazi gang, Hans has come to despise that hateful ideology and anything close to it. Voicing support for the far right, using their terminology, or being one of his old "friends" is enough to push him into a more angry state.
* CainAndAbel: Hans and his sister Emma. Hans earlier was a violent Neo-Nazi, but has since tried to redeem himself and become a nicer person. Emma however is a rumor monger, spreading lies about other people, actively making her brother's life worse by making it seem he's still in the alt-right, and more recently making him fight her battles.
* ChunkyUpdraft: Capable of it, and when he gets particularly determined, a small scale variant shows around him.
* DeadlyDisc: During the encounter with Benjy, Hans- in a rage at Benjy's horrifying feeding method and multiple murders- throws a huge disc at him made of highly condensed, extremely sharp wind.
* ElementalPowers: Most elemental powers are able to be used by him, such as conjuring a powerful gust of wind to discourage some jocks after him.
* EmbarrassingTattoo: Hans has a number of tattoos, and calling them embarrassing is putting it lightly. Hans despises his tattoos, and would like to get them removed, only lacking the money.
* LightEmUp: A future application - being able to manipulate light, forming light wings, HardLight blades, lasers and creating blinding displays.
* MindOverMatter: His mind can allow him to control close to anything- though he has to comprehend what he's doing on some level.
* StoryBreakerPower: Vector Control in a nutshell. Hans' power basically makes him a potential OneManArmy.
* ThouShaltNotKill: He's very reluctant to kill, and only willing to countenance it if people would die if he doesn't act.
