->'''Played By''': Creator/NanonKorapatKirdpan

* BookDumb: Before passing the Placement Exam he was a struggling student from Class VIII - the lowest class.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Mind control is not a kind of power one would expect from an idealistic and kindhearted character like Pang.
* CompellingVoice: His potential is a type of mind control. All he needs to do is feel someone’s heartbeat and make a command.
* FireForgedFriends: With Wave.
* TheHeart: Zig Zagged. He starts as an idealistic character, a loyal friend and someone who’s aware of systemic injustices. Despite this, certain circumstances occasionally lead him to take a more cold, calculated and utilitarian approach to dealing with problems. Yet he always seems to bring himself back to being the heart of the group. When Pang is at his lowest, this role tends to go to Ohm or Namtarn.
* TheHero: He’s the story's main protagonist who remains strongly opposed to unfair hierarchies even after gaining privileges for himself.
* IneffectualLoner: Becomes this toward the end of the series.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After realizing that he unwittingly used his mind control potential on Nac by making him hit his head repeatedly into a metal pole.

->'''Played By''': Creator/SingHaritCheewagaroon

* AccidentalTheft: Teacher Pom’s wallet was one of the first victims of Ohm’s potential.
* ClassClown: He’s quite confident in his comedic skills too. Wave is not amused, especially when he’s the target of Ohm’s jokes.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He’s funny and friendly most of the time, but when things get serious, his power always proves to be useful and almost impossible to counter.
* ForgetfulJones: He has a tendency to forget and lose things.
* MindOverMatter: His potential is a form of psychokinesis. He can make objects and humans disappear and bring them back by will.
* PluckyComicRelief: Most lighthearted character out of the bunch.
* PsychicNosebleed: It’s the side effect of using his potential.
* StealthyTeleportation: Advanced version of his power.

* AmateurSleuth: She made it her mission to figure out what happened to Chanon and uncover Ritdha’s history.
* BadassBookworm: She’s smart, dedicated and good at using her power. And contrasting Pang and Ohm, her closest friends, she really enjoys reading.
* BerserkButton: She’s a genuinely nice and friendly person, but she has no tolerance for procrastination and laziness. As someone with a health condition that can endanger her life, she values time and wants to spend it in a constructive and meaningful way. Pang and Ohm are often the targets of her criticism whenever they slack off or show a lack of motivation.
* CuriosityIsACrapshoot: Curiosity is her defining trait, but the more she uses her power to dig into TheConspiracy, the side effects get more dangerous.
* {{Determinator}}: She’s motivated to reach her goals even at the cost of her health.
* IllGirl: She has hypertension, and her potential’s side effects make her existing health condition much worse, to the point that her mom wanted her to quit school.
* NerdsLoveToughSchoolwork: Seems very enthusiastic to learn about and develop her potential.
* {{Psychometry}}: Her potential allows her to learn about past events by touching an object or a person.

->'''Played By''': Creator/ChimonWachirawitRuangwiwat

* BrutalHonesty: He doesn’t care if his remarks offend people or not.
* TheCracker: Used his hacking abilities to force his fellow students to play a ‘game’ of his making.
* HotForTeacher: He had a crush on his former teacher. At that point in time, she was the only person who showed admiration for his intellect and who treated him with kindness. Which made the incoming betrayal more hurtful.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: He’s intelligent yet abrasive and arrogant, so much that all the other students formed a group chat without him. Which was a shockingly stupid decision, knowing that Wave is a technopath.
* NeverBeHurtAgain: The betrayal by his former teacher and love interest caused him to become cynical, rude and extremely competitive.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: He got his teacher fired after she stole his thesis and framed him for plagiarism.
* PetTheDog: He occasionally does random acts of service, like submitting a math report for Namtarn or buying food and drinks for Pang, but only after Namtarn started reaching out to him first, and Pang continued the DefrostingIceKing process.
* PsychoticSmirk: Tends to do this when he outwits or embarrasses his classmates.
* SourOutsideSadInside: His unfriendly demeanor is a result of severe trust issues caused by the events of the past.
* {{Technopath}}: By touching electronic devices he can manipulate data and hack almost anything.

->'''Played By''': Creator/JaneRamidaJiranorraphat

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Subverted. While her attraction to a mysterious guy like Punn and rejection of Korn, a guy whose sincere emotion she could easily read, might imply a preference toward bad boys, it becomes obvious that she was charmed by the healthy parts of Punn’s split personality, instead of the dark ones.
* DanceOfRomance: Has one with Punn.
* TheDiva: She’s a member of the Drama Club and one of her main goals is to become famous.
* EmbarrassingOldPhoto: An old, unflattering photo of hers got leaked for everyone to see, and a racy old video soon followed.
* TheEmpath: Her power is a type of synesthesia which enables her to see one’s aura and associate the aura color with a certain kind of emotion.
* HiddenDepths: When her embarrassing past footage got leaked for everyone to see, after the initial panic and rage, she dealt with it in an unexpectedly mature way. She’s also capable of admitting her wrongdoings, and does her best to not repeat her mistakes.
* ItsAllAboutMe: She loves the spotlight, be it on stage or in real life. Before she TookALevelInKindness she also loved exposing other Drama Club members’ secrets.
* LovableAlphaBitch: Starts without the ‘lovable’ part, but evolves into a kinder person.
* ObliviousToLove: Inverted. Thanks to her power, she was aware of Korn’s crush on her and rejected him even before he could confess.

->'''Played By''': Creator/GunAtthaphanPhunsawat

* EnemyWithin: His paranoid, aggressive and suicidal personalities, whenever they become dominant.
* ExtracurricularEnthusiast: Always learning new skills, be it science or music or visual arts.
* FlipPersonality: Whenever a personality takes over, his expression and speech pattern changes.
* JackOfAllTrades: There’s nothing he’s bad or average at. But his fight with Mon has shown that when he copies another person’s potential, his skills are weaker than that of the original user.
* PowerCopying: His potential of fast learning and ability mastering makes him able to imitate other Gifted students’ potentials.
* TheSmartGuy: He’s highly intelligent and an academic achiever. He was the Head Student of the Gifted class until his resignation.
* ThePerfectionist: Always pushes himself to the extreme.
* SplitPersonality: His potential’s side effect can cause one of these four personalities to take over his default one: the leader, the paranoid, the aggressive and the suicidal personality.
* SuperPoweredEvilSide: When some of his darker personalities assume control, he can become hostile toward his friends.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: If not for Claire’s intervention, his suicidal persona would have taken over.

* ActionGirl: With her purely physical potential, it’s a given.
* ApologeticAttacker: She only attacked Punn because of Wave’s blackmail and felt guilty after knocking him down.
* GymClassHell: While she did her best to make Pang feel welcome, her potential’s side effect turned her gym class into what looked like a zombie apocalypse scenario.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Hearing hurtful words from her closest friends and her love interest almost made her lose the will to fight.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: The severe side effects made her want to get rid of her potential.
* PassionateSportsGirl: Even before developing her potential she was a sports enthusiast, but she wasn’t outstanding in any particular sport.
* SuperStrength: Super strength, enhanced agility and coordination make her excel in combat.
* TechnicallyLivingZombie: Her side effect is quite severe. The pheromones her sweat produces while using her potential trigger irrational and aggressive behavior in people who get in contact with it.
* TrueCompanions: With the Martial Arts Club members. She’s closer with them than with the other Gifted students, and her relationship with Art has romantic undertones. She even skips classes of the Gifted Program in order to spend more time with her club mates. Her power’s side effect put these relationships to test.

->'''Played By''': Creator/FiatPattadonJanngeon

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Before his power got activated, he wished to have more time for consuming media and engaging in hobbies.
* BlessedWithSuck: While his power might have seemed useful at the beginning, the inability to sleep has made him feel even more isolated since he has to spend the nights awake and alone. He also misses having dreams.
* CameraFiend: He has a passion for photography and is often seen taking photos with an analogue camera.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Claire.
* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: He’s almost always wearing his headphones. Contrasting Wave whose isolation is caused by his deliberate antagonistic behavior, Korn is more of a natural introvert and a loner by choice.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: He wishes to get rid of his potential.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: Downplayed. He definitely let his guard down while in a relationship with Koi, and almost got the information about the Gifted Program leaked, but her reasoning and his skepticism about the value of the Program were bound to lead to morally ambiguous decisions.
* OnTheRebound: Subverted. While it was clear that he was still emotionally vulnerable after Claire’s rejection, his feelings for Koi were genuine.
* TheSleepless: He’s unable to sleep or feel tired. It is implied, and then confirmed in Series/TheGiftedGraduation that this is actually just the side effect of his real potential, which is HealingFactor.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Loves shooting these at Pang, often successfully.
* BadPowersBadPeople: Contrast with Pang’s BadPowersGoodPeople, since they have exactly the same potential.
* EvilMentor: To the Gifted students. He genuinely wants to help them perfect their powers, but pays more attention to those he sees as more talented.
* ManipulativeBastard: Has has the power of mind control, but he’s often able to manipulate people even without using his power, thanks to his rhetorical skills.
* TotalitarianUtilitarian: He created the Gifted Program and designed the Placement Exam as a way to select a group of students and develop their superhuman abilities. The extreme inequality his system creates does not seem to bother him at all.

* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: The most likely reason for using his powers. Often due to Supot’s orders.
* CoolTeacher: He manages the Gifted class and helps the students through the process of discovery and development of their potentials. He’s dedicated, kind and protective of his students.
* HypnoPendulum: Prefers an old-school metronome, but a metronome app will also do the job.
