Pt. Main Triangle

Asumi: He is meant to give off a simple, happy look, he's mostly dressed in bright yet simple clothing usually with no logos, His glasses have a round frame giving off a nerdy, bookish yet cute look, He wears the default school uniform kind of showing him as a rule-follower, He heavily resembles his ancestor, Nanami

Kage: He has a bit of a hipster look, He wears clothes that cover and conceal his body, yet they are put on sloppily and comfortable His skin has a blue undertone along with a tired eye bag, His eye to have a tired, sad look, They at his seen stern but in drawing they're meant to have a slight slope, He contrasts his sister greatly, While she's all dolled up and he can't be bothered to wear anything but sweat, He has a lanky body that sloops a bit

Minato: She has the typically "tomboy genki" look, She wears a vastly different uniform from the other female students showing her to be in a way free-spirited, She's typically in alethic wear in case she has to work out, Her eyes have a sharp look though they're big enough for her give them an energetic look, In her miko wear, her hair is left down and her eyes grow narrow and lifeless, Her body type is alethic and a bit ripped, her arm is covered for plot related reason

Adisa: Wants people to find her mysterious, but not pity her because her dad's dead. I want her to come off as relatable and realistic. She has anxiety, so I also want her to be an accurate representation of that. She's one of the symbols of humanity and the good things it represents, so mainly, I want her to be a sign of hope.
Haven: I want her to come off as like- outgoing but also reserved. Like, she overshares but not anything super personal because it's hard for her to open up. Confident and very intelligent as well. Very in touch with nature and natural elements
Uri: very loving and hopeful. Dedicated to the bone, but still a gentleman.
Luc: ultimate gentleman. In love, but respectful that she doesn't love him back. Very curious.
Flora: Broken and uses drinking to cope. Obsessed with her image and reputation, but not shallow. She's actually very kind and caring, and I want people to see that.
Amena: super chill, very go-with-the-flow, nothing surprises them. Doesn't give half a fuck about anyone's opinion and really just wants to have fun.

Destrian: Absolute chaos and dumbass in one person. He's not meant to think things through before he does them, he just acts on impulse. Sometimes it works, mostly it just gets him stabbed.

Sadon: The exact opposite of Destrian. Calm, tends to hesitate and think things through before moving. That usually works, but it can also get him stabbed sometimes.

Peter: Like Destrian, but less so. He'll at least have some semblance of a plan in mind before he acts on it. Fiercely loyal to his friends as well.

Aryn: Clumsy, not too terribly strong, severely underestimates themself though. They're quite smart and quiet, but that's where that list ends. They aren't organized at all and there's hints to a darker past about them.

Tauni: Kind of selfish at the beginning. Doesn't really think about anyone but herself. Supposed to give off a more shallow sort of image.

Ekhös: Crazy old witch who lives in the woods vibe. That's exactly what she is. She's the type to hit people with her cane and call them the wrong names and show up at the absolute worst moments.

Piper: very quiet and hesitant, scared to take leaps but underneath all of that she just wants to be happy again

Grace: very well put together, the perfect daughter, perfect 4.0 student, but on the inside she's practically screaming for some sort of release, any sort of change

Nerris: super fun and bubbly, nice to everyone, basically season one steven universe, but can also be very hesitant, especially around adults

Benjamin: rich bitch who doesn't care about anyone or anything

Destrian: Absolute chaos and dumbass in one person. He's not meant to think things through before he does them, he just acts on impulse. Sometimes it works, mostly it just gets him stabbed.

Sadon: The exact opposite of Destrian. Calm, tends to hesitate and think things through before moving. That usually works, but it can also get him stabbed sometimes.

Seems to be a lot of stabbing going on, I love it XD

Yeah you could say it's quite a big point in the book

Pt. 2 Angel Arc

Eri is meant to give off the cool big sis vibe, Her appearance while humble seems mature and stylish.
Her eyes have a sharp catlike look to them, and always seem to be watching her surroundings, even in moments of crisis, she is shown to be calm and quick-witted, Her clothes seem to be somewhat uniformish (despite being in college) and always look the part of a classy lady.
She looks a lot more confident beside her more unsure cousin, Asumi

Collin is meant to give off a soft, moe quality to him, Making him seem childish and unsure, even a little timid.
His eyes are soft and big, though at the same time look tired and has pinkish bag under them as if they were from crying or lack of sleep.
His hair is childish but unmanageable, His clothes are soft and concealing, his uniform is very out there, being a sweater hoodie, with a black sleeve with a cutesy design
His main vibe is cutesy yet sleepy and lazy, though he does display signs of being intelligent and his eyes slightly lose their sleepy look and he begins to grow up

Mikoto is meant both look uneasy and aggressive, this is due to her huge horns and fierce eyes.
Her eyes seem to be constantly staring as if she was constantly trying to intimidate or even hurt you. Though at the same time she is very humble and timid, She wears the default female uniform with no accessory, I did try to make her look more homely instead of just giving her messy hair slapping some glasses on her, and calling it a day
She is meant to display a wide range of emotions and display the fact that she is naive and still learning

Naomi:  Dented iron.  She's still fairly young, and still pretty even with a scarred face; but she's weathered and embittered by trauma.  The likelihood of her wearing something she couldn't feasibly fight in, or not having something on her person that could be readily used as a weapon, is slim to nil.
CJ: Semi-successfully hiding his trauma. Clean-cut, tidy, upbeat; catch him off-guard,  however, and you may instead see him looking haunted.  When out of uniform, his clothing choices are likely to be similar to Naomi's.
Brandee: A tiny, intense live wire.  Lots of body art, much of it significant.  If she's not in work clothes, her look is likely to have punk and/or rockabilly influences, although damned if she would ever unironically victory-roll her hair.
Kieron: The gentle giant. I've probably said this a few times before, but: him big.  Like, big enough that he would have better luck getting his clothes custom-made.  Seeing as he doesn't really have the budget to get clothes custom-made: he's usually in jeans and  t-shirts—which don't always fit any too well—unless he's on a security gig.  He's also a lot cuter than you'd expect a guy that big to be; that giant strongman physique comes packaged with a sweet, innocent, and rather handsome face.

Sound: Epic dad who tries to be the hero, but is stopped in his tracks by his own cowardice.

Dark: A true hero, though he pretends not to be. Honestly, his flaws are the opposite of his brother Sound’s; he’s snappy and standoffish on the surface, but his heart is literally made of gold. He’d probably be a good dad as well.

Shade: She’s just a kid at the start, but she’s kind of made to represent that your heritage, age, really anything about you doesn’t mean you can’t be a hero. It’s all about the heart. As long as you love others, things will work out for you — usually others will love you if you love them. If you treat others kindly, you’ll be treated kindly in return, even if there are stranger elements about you.

Vincent: A stubborn, “rich kid” jerk meant to show that even people like that aren’t hopeless. He gives his life to help three certain other characters escape the enclosure they’re all trapped in. Those three treated him kindly when nobody else did — and, while his death was a (very) extreme example, treating others well almost always helps you in the long run.

Acacia: A Scottish bilby with a temper and with a personality three times bigger than she is.

Greystone: A Sound which has already had his development before the course of the story. He’s also a living example of what fear can cause you to miss; he’s an awesome friend and person, but unfortunately Sound and Dark turn him away because his fiery wings remind them of the fire that rampaged through their home. He would have been a great buddy for them, but they never got to get to know him as a result of their fear.

Aberforth: An old, wise man put into a place he doesn’t understand. He tries to comfort his friends, but he doesn’t really get what’s going on despite his wishes.

Woodsy: I dunno, really. I’ve never actually used him. I really just think he’s a sweet-hearted kid wanting to do the right thing, but is jittery and nervous from all of the pressure he’s under.

Rufus: Doesn't know what the hell is going on half the time as he's entered a universe that has essentially mind-fucked him. Sweet tempered and curious of this new world he has stumbled into. Is supposed to be the audience surrogate and is made to be easy for the audience to project themselves onto.

Teri: missing Best friend of Rufus. Goes through 8 books of just total hell and is confined to a essentially a concentration camp school for like the first 5 of those books. Harbours a power she is unaware she has control over, and might just be the most powerful character in the series. Mostly has the big sad.

Vicki: Shy and timid for like the first few books but becomes an absolute savage for the rest of the series. Her sarcasm is as icy as her actual ice powers. Smart AF. Would fight a literal god but is too afraid to order a meal.

Jack: Just an absolute lad. Will fight for you. People give him way to much of a hard time but it isn't deserved. Has some of the best morals in the series despite being one of the more rebellious characters.

Andy: a Gentle Giant. People pleaser and a bit of a pushover. Takes things to heart really easily but has a truckload of empathy. Consoles and supports people when healing them. Social butterfly.

Chloe: Rich Bitch™. Is the main villain of the series and possess an ego bigger than the sun. Has literally repurposed her own school and turned it into a concentration camp/army camp. Is happy to execute anyone of even steps a toe out of line.

Samuel: BRITISH. Has a new crush every week. Intelligent but likes to flex it on people. Doesn't notice when people make fun of him. Has the debating skills of a lawyer.

Ethan: Jovial and Affable around other people but is actually quite emotionally distraught. Has definitely taken the "am I gay?" quiz at least twice. Won't call out his friends for their dickhead behaviour, even if he see's it.

Netumi: Martial arts expert despite being pretty uncoordinated outside of training. Has frequent mood swings. Looks after Andy alot to the point its basically baby sitting. Most likely to become a wine addict in life

Eric sounds almost exactly like my character Aiyana! Also anyone wanna write together? I unfortunately don't watch anime or Steven universe or stuff like that. I f I had to describe myself as a writer, I'd uses two words: d a r k a c a d e m i a
