Character Name: Rystan
Age: 16
Ability: Teleports objects, herself, or other people to other places
Height: 5'7"
Hair/Eye Color/Description: She has medium brown hair that falls to about the middle of her upper torso. She usually wears it down, except at school she puts it up in either a pony tail or messy bun. She has deep blue eyes, which sometimes look purple in the right light.
Appearance: She is average build, not too skinny or fat, and is in good shape due to her fighting and weapons training class. She wears blue jeans, a green shirt with sleeves that barely cover her shoulders, and a tan trench coat that reaches to her knees. She wears black boots that zip up to the middle of her shin, beneath her jeans. She always wears a simple gold chain with a triangle locket attached, a bracelet of black pearls on her left wrist, and a watch on her right wrist.
Personality: She hates to be humiliated or made fun of. She always speaks her mind, and loves having fun with her friends. She avoids getting too close to anyone besides her friends because she's afraid of what people will say when they find out about her unique ability. She also loves getting into arguments and fights, especially with her friend Kyrton.
Weapons: She mostly relies on her fists for weapons, since that's what she's best with. She wears gloves with the fingertips cut off to hide the bruises on her knuckles from fighting. If she's not using her fists, she likes to use a sword that she can hide under her trench coat. The sword is almost two feet long, two-and-a-half inches wide, with a grip made for one hand.
History: She's been living at the orphanage ever since she can remember. She attends the Academy for Young Intelligence (A.Y.I.), along with all the other orphans old enough. She grew up with a small group of friends through the years, and all of them are very close to one another. Xander was the first friend she made, so she's closest to him. She discovered her power when she was ten. She had been in an argument with Kyrton when he suddenly found himself in another room. She learned how to control her power after that, but continues to hide it.
Favorite Quote: "No one can know about my powers...so stay away from me!"
Personal Quote: "Kyrton, if you don't put me down, you'll find yourself on another continent!"

Character Name: Kyrton
Age: 18
Ability: Levitates people or objects off the ground, and learning how to fly
Height: 6'0"
Hair/Eye Color/Description: He has dark brown hair that's cropped very short. He spikes his hair using gel, and the spikes measure around half an inch. He has warm, brown eyes, with small gold specks scattered throughout.
Appearance: He wears tan cargo pants that zip off into shorts and holds them up with a leather belt, and a brown t-shirt that hangs a little loose on his lean frame. He wears his watch on his left arm and wears a pair of old running shoes. He also has a few scattered freckles on his face, and he wears his watch on his left hand.
Personality: He loves to joke around with his friends. He enjoys a good practical joke, and can always be talked into one. He can also be a caring person when he needs to be. He always loves giving Rystan a hard time. He keeps his ability hidden, but tends to be a little careless.
Weapons: He likes to rely on levitating his opponent and dropping them on the ground, but he can't always use his power. When he's at school or somewhere where he can't use his ability, he uses a sword. It's about three feet long and almost a foot wide at the base, though it gradually comes to a point. The handle is big enough for two hands, but can just as easily be held by one hand. The sword is sharp on both edges, and at the top, there is a little hook. He uses the hook to inflict more pain on his opponent.
History: When he was around seven years old his parents died in a plane crash. With no living relatives to take him in, he was sent to the orphanage. He started noticing his power when he had been at the orphanage for one year. He was only able to levitate objects when he was angry at first, but eventually he learned to control his power. He has been trying to learn to fly ever since then. He made friends with some of the other kids, quickly becoming friends with Grim, but doesn't get along as well with Attlin. He's usually able to tolerate him, but there's always a little tension between the two.

Character Name: Eline
Age: 15
Ability: Senses if people are in trouble nearby by a sudden sense of danger and when her hands start shaking
Height: 5'4"
Hair/Eye Color/Description: Her hair is cut short, layered, and angled around her face. Her hair is light brown with blonde streaks. Her eyes are naturally light brown, but often appear red due to light.
Appearance: She's on the skinny side, with not as much muscle as Rystan, but she's not to be underestimated either. She wears black pants that flare at the bottom, with chains and zipper pockets. She also wears a red t-shirt that brings out the red hues in her eyes. She has a black overcoat, but only wears it around the orphanage. She wears a choker around her neck with small chains hanging in the front, rose shaped earrings, and a thick, black, leather bracelet with the letter E imprinted on it on her left wrist.
Personality: She can seem a bit insensitive at times because she doesn't talk much to people she doesn't know. She generally sticks to talking with her friends at the orphanage. She gets into a lot of fights with her friend Grim, because he always knows when she's lying. She hates telling people if anything's wrong, but loves helping people with their problems. She especially enjoys telling people what their problems are.
Weapons: She uses two guns: one pistol and the other a silencer. She keeps the pistol inside her coat, for easy access, and the silencer hidden somewhere else for emergencies. She sometimes hides a few other things inside her coat as well, such as an occasional knife.
History: She lived with her aunt in an apartment until she was five. One day when she was outside playing, the apartment complex caught fire. Her aunt was trapped inside and never made it out. She had one living relative, an uncle, but he wouldn't take her. He sent her to the orphanage. She found her first friend in Rystan, and only occasionally gets into fights with her. She also thinks of Preston as her older brother.

Character Name: Grim (nickname)
Age: 17
Ability: Knows if a person is lying or not, and will soon discover the ability to become invisible and make other things invisible
Height: 5'11"
Hair/Eye Color/Description: He has short blonde hair that he spikes in the front, but everything else he lets fall however it falls. He has faded blue eyes that have just a touch of green around the edges.
Appearance: He's of average build, without much to show for muscle. He wears blue jeans that have a tear on the right knee, a brown, plaid dress shirt that's never buttoned, and a white undershirt showing beneath the dress shirt. He also has his left ear pierced.
Personality: He loves to play practical jokes and tease Eline. He enjoys having fun and always tries to have a good time wherever he is. He can be serious though, depending on the circumstances. He won't let his friends get hurt, but if they do he always gets back at the person who hurt them. He's a very loyal friend.
Weapons: He is very accurate when it comes to throwing daggers. He prefers using daggers so he doesn't have to get too close to his opponent. The daggers range from a few inches long to almost a foot long, but all are between one and two inches in width. For target practice he uses the people that get on his nerves, though many times he just resorts to using Eline.
History: He never knew his parents, but lived with his adoptive parents. They were killed in a drive by shooting when he was six, and he ended up in the hospital for a couple of weeks. When he left, he was sent to the orphanage. He made friends with Eline quickly, and still remains close to her. He hates his name, so he has never told anyone what it is. His friends ended up calling him "Grim" because they thought he was a little negative sometimes. That's all they ever call him now.
Favorite Quote: "I promise I won't hurt you...much."
Personal Quote: "You can't fool me. No one can. You can try if you want, but I can see right through you."

Character Name: Xander
Age: 18
Ability: Able to read minds at will
Height: 6'0"
Hair/Eye Color/Description: His hair is black and cut short, but he has some longer bangs that sometimes still fall in his face. His eyes are light green around the edge, but get darker towards the center.
Appearance: He appears to be very small and lightweight, but he has some hidden muscle when he needs it. He wears tan shorts that reach just below his knees and a long-sleeve, dark green shirt. He often has his hands in his pockets, and his sleeves are usually down. If his sleeves are pushed up, he may have been in a fight or had to stop a fight between other people.
Personality: He is sometimes overly concerned for Rystan, but he still likes to kid around with everyone and have a good time. He is the second oldest of the group of friends, and one of the most responsible, so he is sometimes looked to as a leader. He is often second in command to Preston, who is also his closest friend. He tries to keep the others out of trouble with other people or with themselves
Weapons: He uses a three-pronged whip. It starts out at the beginning as one thick strand, made of three strands woven together, but it ends up splitting into the three separate strands. Each strand has a thorn at the end, sown right into the strand, practically invisible to anyone that doesn't already know it's there. He uses it to grab things, such as a weapon from an opponent, and bring it to him, or as a weapon to inflict damage by striking it against his opponent. Since he doesn't use it as a weapon at the orphanage, he doesn't have to hide it like the others' weapons.
History: His mother worked all the time, and his father was an alcoholic. He had a rough childhood. When his father died, his mother couldn't take it and committed suicide. His grandparents couldn't take him so he was sent to the orphanage when he was six, so he met Rystan when she was three. It's because he was Rystan's first friend that he treats her the way he does.

Character Name: Preston
Age: 19
Ability: Able to see for around five miles at will
Height: 6'1"
Hair/Eye Color/Description: He has sandy brown hair that's kept in a crew cut with the exception of a small braid at the base of his head. His eyes are a brownish-gold, chestnut color.
Appearance: The fact that he is very muscular is quite obvious. His muscles can be seen on his arms, legs, and anywhere else. He wears loose black pants that have an extra pair of pockets, one on each pant leg by the knee. Above that he wears a blue t-shirt. He always has on a silver chain with a silver hawk attached by its wings that are spread out as if flying.
Personality: He sometimes gets angry with Grim for the way he acts around Eline. He stands up for Eline when she's having a bad day, and makes her tell him if something's wrong. He occasionally helps out if a prank is being pulled, but is the last to get in trouble for it. He likes having a good time, but knows when to quit. He is usually looked to as the leader if one is needed. He tries to be a friend to everyone, and hates choosing sides.
Weapons: He uses a form of a mace for his weapon. Instead of a metal ball with spikes on the end, it has a plain looking ball made of glass. When the glass hits its target, it shatters into whatever it hit. It causes a lot of damage, but every piece is attached to the center of the original ball with an extremely thin string. When he jerks the stick back after the explosion, all the pieces fly back with it and put themselves back together, reforming the ball. Holding the handle on the end, he swings it quickly and with precision. Usually his opponent can't tell which direction he is going to attack from, giving him the element of surprise. He loves the amount of damage such a small and seemingly harmless weapon can do.
History: When he was nine, his parents went on vacation. They took a trip on a cruise ship, leaving him with his cousin. The ship sank on its way home. He tried to stay with his cousin, but his cousin wouldn't take care of him. He was sent to the orphanage at ten, where he met all his friends. He gets along best with Xander, and treats Eline like a little sister. He wants to be there for her the way his cousin wasn't for him.

Character Name: Attlin
Age: 17
Ability: Superior knowledge in any area concerning computers or technology
Height: 5'9"
Hair/Eye Color/Description: He has black hair that is cut short all over; meaning nowhere on his head is there a piece of hair longer than an inch long. His eyes are hazel, but appear gray when he's concentrating really hard.
Appearance: He looks very lean and scrawny. He is somewhat fit, but is still really skinny. He wears loose blue jean pants, and a plain gray polo shirt. Has a silver ring he wears on his right ring finger that belonged to his father. It has a red stone in the center with his father's name engraved inside the stone.
Personality: He's the quietest one of the whole group. He only gives his opinions when he is asked to, and doesn't ask very many questions. He keeps to himself a lot, but still enjoys being around everyone else. He gets along best with Rystan, which sometimes causes problems with Kyrton. He is very responsible and wouldn't be caught dead helping out with any of the pranks that go on, though he avoids exposing his friends if he can. Due to his small size, he gets picked on by others every so often. He rarely, if ever, fights back, and he tries to avoid confrontation.
Weapons: He uses only one weapon. It looks like a smooth, plain stick that's almost as big as him. Throughout the center of the stick, running the entire length, is a bar of steel that keeps the stick from being cut in half. With the steel center, it does a lot more damage than it looks like it can do, and is also heavier than it looks.
History: His mother died in child birth, so he grew up with his father. His father worked for the government, so he was gone a lot on trips. Attlin raised himself most of the time, so he always looked forward to the times when his father was home. On one of the trips, his father was caught and tortured to death. When he was told, he received his father's ring. That is why he wears the ring all the time, to remember his father. He had no relatives that anyone was aware of, so he came to the orphanage at age eight. He made friends slowly, but the ones he has he stays close to.
Favorite Quote: "I may be smart, but I am also wise."
Personal Quote: "You say you are my friend, but yet you have turned your back on me. You say you will never leave me, and yet you have not returned. I say I am your friend, and still I am loyal to you."

Character Name: Travis
Age: 18
Ability: Controls electricity by concentrating and causing small explosions or energy bursts from nearby electrical appliances
Height: 5'10"
Hair/Eye Color/Description: His hair is light blonde and looks a little shaggy. The tips of his hair are dyed orange. His eyes are naturally a dark yellow, but he tells people it's because of his contacts, though he doesn't actually wear contacts.
Appearance: He is of average build, only slightly less muscular than Preston. He wears a white button down shirt with thin, orange, vertical stripes. His top button is always undone, and sometimes the second one as well. The sleeves are unbuttoned and rolled up once or twice. He also wears faded blue jeans that have been very broken in over a number of years and flip flops to be comfortable, but changes into shoes for school.
Personality: Travis is loud right from the start. He's usually the first person you notice, or hear, when you enter a room. He has no problem starting conversations and keeping them going. He's pretty funny, but can get a little perverted sometimes depending on who he's with. He slacks off on his homework but still manages to pass every class just fine. When he's not joking around he can be serious. He is great friends with everyone, but especially Grim which is why he often likes to give Grim a hard time. He can also be caught sometimes looking out for Eline.
Weapons: He takes pleasure in using ninja stars. He holds them in his hand and with a flick of the wrist can send them flying in any direction. He almost always hits what he's aiming for, and he knows where to aim to inflict the most pain. His ninja stars have the Japanese symbol for strength engraved on each one.
History: He never knew his father because his mother was raped and became pregnant. She decided to have an abortion a month before her due date, but he managed to survive the procedure somehow while his mother did not. He was adopted by a 20-year-old and grew up with him. His "brother," as Travis called him, died of cancer when Travis was only ten. He went to an orphanage until he was eighteen, when the orphanage burned down. It was then that he was sent to the orphanage with the others. He quickly became friends with Grim, and soon made friends with the others as well.
