Characters
Farrow-
“People say I worry too much, but if you’re not worried about the future, how can you ever expect to change it? If you don’t see a problem how can you ever expect to resolve it? And I see problems everywhere, even ones that aren’t real.”
The protagonist of the story, a 22 year old male from Beruna who worked as a Quality Assurance worker and lived with his mother before becoming a teacher at Bellworth Academy. Developed a Worry Flare that gives him hyper-awareness and in dire circumstances can cause minor precognition, but finds it near impossible to relax and has a hard time fully trusting others.
Farrow stands at 5’9, with messy and unkempt jet black hair. Has a constant 5’oclock shadow and bags under his eyes. Has hair with spikes that shoot downwards, it is slicked back away from his face and droops down to the side. At the back of his head he has a wide circular Cowlick. He wears a thick gray hoodie that looks to be two or three sizes too big for him, with large pockets that he often has his hands in. There is a heart etched into the front of the stomach pocket, and a white Exclamation Point covers most of the chest. He wears sweat pants and shoes that are the same shade of black as his hair, nearly entirely featureless, save for white streaks that go up the sides of his pants and white exclamation points on the sides of his shoes. He is typically seen wearing a large tan backpack full of pouches and zippers.
Raikin-
"Why do people always say pride is a bad thing? Pride is simply confidence in ones abilities. Without confidence, it doesn’t matter how strong you are, you’ll be too full of doubt to use that strength. I know exactly how strong I am, and the funny thing is, by knowing how strong I am, I actually get stronger. People say I act like I’m better than them, but it’s not like it’s an act.”
One of Farrows initial students, he has a Pride Flare which he exemplifies in his mannerisms and speech. His Flare decreases the potency of Flares and Flare abilities used on him (both helpful and harmful) from people he believes to be weaker than him and increases his physique as his confidence goes up. Earned top marks in his entrance exam at Bellworth Academy, his ego is both his biggest strength and weakness.
Short, well kempt blonde hair with spiky bangs that go halfway down his forehead, a single bang on his far left protruding upwards. Ocean blue eyes that are slightly squinted and with irises clearly focused. His body is very compact, his shoulders perfectly proportioned for stability, but his body itself looks physically unassuming, standing at only 5’6. His outfit consists of black dress-pants with a white trim at the waist and a golden streak going down the center of each pant leg on the sides. He wears a Gold overcoat with white buttons, all except the top 2 are buttoned, revealing the top of a black shirt on beneath. All of his clothes look precisely tailored to his exact size and fit very comfortably. The collar and sleeves are perfectly rolled up for style. His boots are very sharp, angular and thick with a black color with golden laces. His default pose consists of his hands in his pocket standing up straight with perfect posture, the corners of his lips curving into a slight smirk.
Jas-
“The Flames of Hope will NEVER be extinguished by the likes of you! As long as one person lives to oppose your kind, Hope will endure. As will I!”
The other of Farrows initial students, Jas is a kind and optimistic girl with a Hope Flare. Her Flare allows her to imbue her and other peoples bodies with soothing Flames that empower their attacks and soothe numerous harmful effects, it also makes her impervious to Fire. A side effect of her Flare developing was her hair changing color and shape, which she resents because it makes her look 'masculine'. She is kind hearted, fiercely optimistic and a people pleaser, however this often leads to people speaking over her and disregarding her opinion. Despite that, she doesn't let it keep her down, and when people push her too far, she's an expert in hand to hand combat.
Standing at 5’6, her hair easily adds a couple inches to her height. It is a dark blue color with orange tips that form up like a wave on all sides of her head and meet at the middle to form a Flame shape. Her eyes are a light orange color, and she has a small slightly pointed nose and small lips. She wears an unzipped sleeveless red hoodie with a featureless white short-sleeved underneath. She wears shorts with an orange base and blue and red colors that twist around one another oppositely on each leg in a helix. She wears pink track-shoes with blue laces with a white “H” on the left side of her left shoe and right of her right shoe.
