Young Writers Society

Name and pronouns: Pratik Chrenko (he/him)
Race (human, elf, dwarf, etc.): Human
Occupation (i.e., physician, ranger, bard, etc.): Mercenary
Age: 19
Appearance (just a few lines is okay): Middle brown skin, blue eyes, black hair, and angular features. He's about 6'2" tall and extremely muscular but still lean.

Personality: He's very good at adopting various personas which can easily mislead people into believing whatever he wants them to believe about him, such as mistaking him for nothing more than an innocent boy, up to looking as dangerous as he actually is. He's pretty charismatic but hard to actually get to know.
Abilities (if any, it's fine if not!): No magic! He's very skilled at stealth and fighting but nothing beyond what can be learned naturally (with a lot of training).

Name and pronouns: Jay, he/him
Race (human, elf, dwarf, etc.): Werewolf (with a human and wolf form)
Occupation (i.e., physician, ranger, bard, etc.): Jeweler
Age: 29
Personality: Jay seems a bit jaded. Blunt, clever, resourceful, quick-thinker, practical, doesn't care what people think of him. He has a bit of a bite to his tongue, and tends to say backhanded comments without meaning to. It doesn't make him popular, but that's not really his goal.
Appearance (just a few lines is okay): Jay isn't a very tall man. He's 5ft 3' and fit, but slim. Stronger than he looks. He has deep dark brown skin and short dreadlocks. He wears loose-fitting clothes and walks around barefoot, so the calluses on his feet are thick.
Abilities (if any, it's fine if not!): Has weak healing magic and can shift in and out of werewolf/human form instantaneously. Is quick and fast but not exactly built like a fighter.

Name and pronouns: Tithorea Glasswell (Called Rea for short)(she/her)
Race (human, elf, dwarf, etc.): Elf
Occupation (i.e., physician, ranger, bard, etc.): Medic/physician
Age: 19
Personality: She's the biggest bookworm you'll find. Show her anything with writing and she'll devour it. She's quick to learn and memorize new concepts - if she really likes a book she'll quote half the thing at you - but fails miserably in every aspect of combat.

Rea is very mild-mannered and absent minded, especially when she's making notes or reading something. It's quite difficult to make her angry, but when she gets mad, imagine a furious chihuahua.
Appearance: She has wavy brown hair, an aquiline nose, and sharp cheekbones, and stands little over five feet. She looks rather wispy, as though she might be blown away in a gust of strong wind.
Rea has a pair of large, round spectacles (she has mild myopia) and wears a white shirt with a sleeveless brown vest on top and baggy moss-green trousers. She generally has a terrible sense of fashion, but gets very enthusiastic about it.
Abilities (if any, it's fine if not!): Rea has an ability called Delving; by transmitting her magic through touch, she can know the basic weakness of whatever she touches. So, if she touches a brick wall, she'll be able to tell its weak spots, and what will work best against it. If it's something she doesn't know, she'll still have a sense of what will work against it. Note that she can't Delve an entire building or something, just around the area that she touches it.
This works on living things too, but in a different way; when she Delves someone, she'll pick up any injuries/issues in their body. That includes poisons, broken bones, diseases, etc. This allows her to be very precise in using her medical skills.
Overusing her powers will lead to her fainting without warning. She'll remain unconscious for a few hours.
She can't use her powers when inebriated or drugged.

Name and pronouns: Nikolai Sokolov, he/him
Race (human, elf, dwarf, etc.): Human
Occupation (i.e., physician, ranger, bard, etc.): Artist (sketching and drawing)
Age: 20
Personality: He can be really sweet and he’s always empathetic, but he has social anxiety, gets scared of a lot of things, and often acts shy, though he’d still do his best to be friendly to everyone. If he sees vulnerability in someone, there’s a good chance he’ll try to protect them. He’s creative and loves art, but doesn’t usually choose to share his ability with anyone unless it’s needed.
Appearance: He has dark brown hair, deep green eyes, and the pale skin for a climate that doesn’t see much sun. He's wiry but not really muscular, about 5’11” tall. He’s wearing a dark, long robe-like coat with gold thread lining the edges, a blueish-gray shirt underneath, a light blue crystal pendant around his neck, black pants and riding boots. He’s left behind the small side pouch he normally wears for now and instead carries around a backpack with art supplies (things he can use to draw) and a few other things that were in his pouch before. (Here's a visual, candles and magical book added for fun.)
Abilities: oh boy this is an long explanation, here we go
Nikolai is able to temporarily bring his sketches to life— if he draws a object on paper (or any surface that can be drawn on), he can make that drawing into a 3D object that can be used and will last for a few hours before it turns back to the drawing it was before.
There are plenty of constraints, though— to name a few, he can’t draw food or drink and then eat it because it’d quickly turn back into a drawing and he’d be hungry again, he can’t make the created objects have things like heat, sound, etc (for example, he can draw a fireplace, but not a working fireplace that makes heat, and he can draw a music box, but not a working music box that makes sound), and if he tries to draw anything living or moving— say a bird— then if he puts a bit of work into it that bird can hop and fly around, but that would be all it could do and it wouldn’t be alive in any way, like a mindless wind-up toy, before becoming lines of pencil on paper again.
Also, he has a smaller ability to transfer color from one object to another (which “drains” it from the first, but is easily reversible), and he often uses it for coloring the temporary objects he draws, so Nikolai never has to carry around coloring supplies wherever he goes.
