Young Writers Society

Name: Jeff Jonsin, Superhero Name is Jewel

Age: 18

Gender: Cis male

Appearance: Jeff likes to wear plain clothes since they're not too expensive at outlet stores. His to-go outfit in cold weather is a nice Nike hoodie over a long-sleeve thermal with dark jeans. He has dark-brown hair he covers up with hats, brown eyes he hides with glasses sometimes, when he's not running around and is decently short for a guy.

As Jewel, he wears contacts, usually slicks back his hear to keep it out of his eyes, and wears a dark long-sleeve shirt that's a little too tight for normal wear, with pants that are basically leggings judging by how they tight they feel too.

Personality: Jeff tries his best to make friends with others, but his go-to action of laughing in awkward situations tend to alienate him from normal kids. If he feels burned by people, he gets pretty quiet and will just kind of look around, observing them instead.

As Jewel, he still laughs way too much, which is both good and bad. Good because that distracts bad guys sometimes, bad because no one takes him seriously. He's used to it though.

Background: Jeff grew up in a large family that liked to live near each other. From this, came never-ending fun and running all through the street. One day, when he was entering high school, Jeff and his cousins were playing tag in front of his house. A car had been driving by them but he didn't pay too much attention, as they were safe. Until his youngest cousin falls on a rock and twists his ankle. And another car was entering the intersection and sped up.

The next thing Jeff knew was he holding his cousin on the sidewalk, with the car driver crying by them. His family didn't know what to say besides thanking him and treating him with a sense of wonder and worry. From that day, he was different around strangers, as all he could think was whether he would be able to even save another like he had his cousin.

When Jeff hears about others having powers, he gets serious about wanting to make a difference. After graduation, he gets in contact with an old friend living in New York who claimed to have seen people running around with impossible abilities. He feels inspired and goes against his parents' plan for a normal, safe life for him.

He might as well use his powers for something like he had before. He just needs to learn control. Maybe New York will hold the key to help him.

Powers: He can run pretty fast, but only in times of chaos and necessity.

Strengths: Super speed works great when it works great.

Weaknesses: He's very awkward, tries his best to keep his "superhero" identity hidden, and often runs (*finger snaps*) into trouble when his super speed doesn't work great.

Stayed with the group until the necromancer was freed, then left with the ancient Healer Sinestra to another world.

Name: Sinestra Oceanna Hopkins-Jones

Age: Even she doesn't know. She's old ;-;

She has a long aquiline nose and almond-shaped blue-green-gray eyes.She's more than 6 feet, 4 inches, carries a wooden cane with a silver handle, and is normally dressed in traveling dress robe thingies with a satchel, leather boots, and some assorted jewelry. She currently has two magical rings on hand, one owned by Natalia (@Stringbean) and Ismelda (one of my characters).

Personality: Sinestra is a wise semi-immortal with a strict set of moral, ethical, and religious codes she follows to a T. Claiming that she works for God, Sinestra tends to take the moral high ground and is (almost) always there to pull people out of messes, including the ones that they made themselves. Despite her austere and strict composure, Sinestra does have a lighter side, but it needs the perfect timing and placing too come out

Background: Sinestra was born to Oceanna Hopkins-Jones and Sylvestre the Necromaner as the eldest of three triplets, her brothers being Atticus and Carter, two lesser mages. Sinestra was raised on Earth by Protestant family from 1870 to 1885 in the state of South Carolina as her mother wanted her children to be raised separately. After her adopted parents were killed by the KKK for raising a witch after Sinestra accidentally setting Galvston, Texas on fire. Sinestra fled on foot to Boston. where she met Apollo Cartington.

Cartington, who was himself a renowned magic user, took Sinestra in as his won and brought her to his magic school, the Royal Academy of the Magical Arts, where the school staff trained, taught, and molded Sinestra. It was here that she met Deserae Winteremere (@ChamomilePendragon) for the first time, and the two became their own family of outcasts.

After tensions at the school reached a boiling point, Sinestra privately perfected her time-traveling and teleportation skills, arriving in medieval France. Alongside the Flamels, Sinestra perfected an immortality serum and also found ways to create immortality by placing parts of people's souls in one another. The Flames adopted Sinestra as heir own, and they traveled extensively through Europe, Asia, and Africa over the centuries.

As time went on, Sinestra began exploring other worlds and established a group of Apprentices to carry out her peace-keeping mission throughout the multiverses. Notable Apprentices from Earth include(d) Morgan le Fay, Merlin, Houdini, Mother Shipton, Mother Jones, Eleanor Roosevelt, and the Flamels. After her 13,000 birthday, Sinestra first came across the world of Belecthoria during its earliest days of creation. Vowing to keep Belecthoria safe, stable, and free at any cost, she took it upon herself to make Belecthoria her pet project of sorts.

Name: Fabian Josiah Mayhem (Born Fabian J. Ashford)

Age: 23

Gender: Male, he/they

Appearance: He's pale, tall, and slender, with the air of a classical vampire but with a nu goth sense of style and not quite as dead looking. Fabian has short black hair that's slicked back, with longer bright white bangs. Their eyes are grey and clouded with cataracts, as they were born blind. He has a variety of simple black tattoos all over his body, most of them including eye imagery. The most notable of these tattoos are the eye on the center of their chest, the pentacle covering their upper back, and the small ankh on his right wrist. He has two peircings on his left earlobe, and one lobe peircing and an industrial bar on his right.

Personality: Fabian is a slick and cocky individual. They're also quite the narcissist. Outwardly, he acts rather laid back and carefree, but he’s willing to go to extreme lengths for personal benefit. He often thinks lowly of those around him and tends not to bother with debates as he likely already views his stance as fact. Fabian is slow to anger, but prone to holding grudges. They're very manipulative, and will try to gain social control of any situation they find themself in.

Background: They've distanced themself from family connections, as far as changing their surname. He has worked as a paranormal investigator before, but has shifted his focus to jewelry making and works as an apprentice jeweler.

Powers: Fabian can see from any eyes around them. This includes people, animals, pieces of art, and their own tattoos. The only eyes he cannot see from are his own. There is a very faint crimson glow from any inanimate eye used. Fabian is aware of the position of any usable eyes in his range of about 30 feet, but not what or who they belongs to.

Name: Cerulian

Age: Ze doesn't keep track

Gender: Non-biney, ze/zir/zirself

Appearance: (IC: aloha sushicore on Picrew)

Personality: Cerulian is a thrill seeker at zir core. Ze has experienced some of the most wild things the multiverse has to offer, so ze jumps at any chance to try anything new or exciting. Cerulian is very impulsive and chaotic, often causing a stir just because it's fun and ze can get out of it without consequence. Ze posesses lot of knowledge and insight, but tends to keep zir thoughts to zirself unless the situation calls for it. Cerulain has difficulty forming long-term relationships because of zir immortality and nomadic lifestyle.

Background: Zir race was cursed to eternally living split between dimensions and universes, never fully or consistantly existing in a single space. Cerulian learned how to use this to zir advantage and now skips all across space, time, and the multiverse, trying to find anything fun or interesting to brighten up zir existence. Cerulian has made many aquaintences across zir travels, but ze hasn't been permanant enough to make a friend.

Powers: Ze's near constantly fading and drifting between realities. Cerulian can concentrate zir being into a certian point temporarily in an aproximation of a typical physical form. Zir appearance reflects how present ze is in a space, being translucent or see-through most of the time since ze isn't completely in that given reality. This also affects how Cerulian can be physically interacted with. Most of the time, a regular human would be able to walk right through Cerulian with only slight resistance, as if moving in a liquid. While it takes a lot of energy to completely exist in one place, ze can choose all the places ze is occupying. Typically ze is only in one place with other beings at a time, since zir movements are the same across all realities. Cerulian can "teleport" in a way by removing zirself from a reality then re-entering that reality at a different point. Ze can time travel in the same way, but isn't as good at that.

Name:

Zolyrth Dustkarn (He goes by Lyrth)

Age:

He’s not really sure, but probably eighteen or nineteen

Gender:

Male

Appearance:

Lyrth is 5’11”, wearing fantasy-esque black leather armor and a deep gray-blue cloak, clasped at the throat with a small raven broach. The right side of his face is marked by a deep scar running from his eyebrow down to the neck of his armor and disappearing beneath his clothes. His skin is a dark gray, almost metallic but not quite, and his irises are a luminescent lavender. They’ve seen too much for one who has only been alive for so long. His hair is white, and reaches just past his shoulders in waves. There are braids and beads woven in it, giving him an odd look as the beads catch the light and reflect it elsewhere. His ears take on an elven shape, and sport an assortment of gold piercings. On the palms of his hands are strange tattoos that seem to have been done by an amateur. Across his back is strapped a long double bladed scimitar of some shimmering unknown metal. Build-wise, he’s very strong, but lean, as if more accustomed to dodging and dancing with his blade, rather than direct strikes and blunt force.

Personality:

Lyrth is very charismatic, and fond of sarcasm. He loves music and sings often (A wonderful excuse for me to write ballads). He dislikes speaking about himself and his past (hehee) but tries his hardest to make others feel protected and that they can trust him. Other bits and pieces: He’s incredibly determined to reach his goals, and what he values the most is his freedom, those he loves, and beautiful things.

Background:

(Lyrth here was originally a DnD character that I converted to roleplay, so his backstory is heavily impacted by the DnD universe) Lyrth is a dark elf (aka drow) and was born to House Dustkarn in Menzoberranzan in the Underdark. House Dustkarn is the seventeenth house of Menzoberranzan so his family life was chaotic as Matron Dustkarn struggled to bring up their standing. At the young age of ten, he was captured by a band of slavers smuggling their victims through the Underdark and taken. He was then sold to The Crimson Arena, which is a gladiator arena. He grew up fighting and learning the politics of battle. He had two people he was close to: Velda Torfang, a half-orc girl who loved to sing and was like a sister to him, and Marigold, a curmudgeonly old warrior who taught the two of them to fight. Whe Marigold was killed protecting the two of them in melee combat, Velda was gravely injured and just before she died, her body disappeared in a puff of black smoke, leaving nothing but her precious family ring and a raven feather behind. Lyrth then poured all his energy into buying his freedom from the arena so he could discover what happened to Velda and if she was still alive, find her. When he turned sixteen, he was approached by an anonymous sponsor, who promised him exclusive weapons training and the opportunity to buy his freedom in exchange for one favor; to assassinate Morcanthil the Boar, an up and coming young knight in a battle tournament. Lyrth battled with this moral quandary, but eventually made up his mind to get out of the arena above anything else. He succeeded and was granted his freedom. But when the sponsor was discovered to be behind Morcanthil’s death, the law came after Lyrth. He spent the next three years running from the law and making money as a bounty hunter while searching for any clues to Velda’s disappearance.

Powers:

He has a few hereditary magical gifts, like summoning starfire globes of light, and a sphere of darkness to fight in, but nothing much else. He also has magical tattoos on his palms; the left symbol enhances his dark vision, and the right is a blood oath to find out what happened to Velda. Other than that, he fights physically. Lyrth is a fearsome opponent when using his prized double-bladed scimitar, his lone companion and most trusted friend, who's gotten him through many a brutal battle.

Strengths:

Lyrth has an excellent singing voice, is very charismatic, and has almost no trouble getting along with people (it was necessary in the arena, to charm the guards and audience for food, medical treatment, and safety outside of the ring itself). He is very kind to those who deserve it, and tries his best to see the good in things.

Weaknesses:

Lyrth holds a MEAN grudge. He only considers you worth risking his life for if he truly believes you are someone he can trust. He can be incredibly cruel and rarely shows mercy to his enemies, even when he has the opportunity to. He’s not very patient and extremely driven. For physical weaknesses, he has trouble seeing in the sunlight, as he has not evolved genetically to see in the sunlight. Also, his right ankle has been broken twice and is weaker than his left.

Name: Edmund (Ed) Forrester

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance: His hair is a sort of muted blonde, and he has gray eyes. He usually wears fluffy sweaters that are easy to hide in.

Personality: He's a pretty soft person. He's very level-headed, however. He's also an optimist in the sense that he believes there is always hope. He's also very friendly, and bouncy.

Background: His mom works as a pilot, and he often doesn't see her for long stretches of time. His father used to work. . . Dubious jobs, but now has settled down with his family. They're a really lovely family, honestly. That's if you ignore the fact that Eds sister died a while back. That he hallucinates her and believes she's still there. His parents don't mention this, but his older brother detests him for it.

Powers: N/A

Strengths: I'm unsure if this counts as a strength, but being healthy? Other than hallucinating his sister and not fully grieving that, he's really good at finding a proper place to vent, and how to help others cope with things. I think in a writing world that's a strength-? Other than that - he's good at talking to people!

Weaknesses: He's probably too trusting at times. He's hesitant to assume the worst of a person, because, he thinks, maybe, they just need a friend?
