Character Song: "Testify" by Rage Against the Machine
Esperanza, or “Es” by her friends, is the eldest of a large family. She has two brothers (Jehu and Rodrigo) and three sisters (Gabrielle, Catirina, and Gina) living with her in her parent’s apartment along with her aunt, uncle and their son, Isaiah. Being the oldest, she is given the most responsibility and given the job of looking over her siblings. She has lived in Hell’s Kitchen her whole life, which is odd for a Puerto Rican family to be living in an Irish neighborhood. She get’s above average grades in school, although she honestly doesn’t know how or why as she doesn’t get a chance to study. When she turned fifteen, she was not given a quinceaños party due to her parents thinking she was not mature enough. Outraged by this, Es ran away from home for a few days.

Character Song: "Southside" by Moby Feat. Gwen Stefani
Laura was orphaned at a young age and she honestly cannot remember anything about her parents. She was shown to be a very bright girl and even skipped a grade in the private school she attended in South Brooklyn. It was at that private school where she met Takashi Kowaii and became a friend of his, despite how Takashi disliked her hyperness. Takashi actually took it upon himself to look after Laura as a big brother she didn’t have. It was also Takashi who Laura came to first when she discovered her power to crystallize her body. He warned her to not do anything that could be both dangerous and just plain stupid. And like a good little sister, she obeyed and still follows his orders to the letter.

Character Song: "Nugget" by CAKE
Takashi was born the second child of four. He has an older sister, Kagami, and two younger twins, Kenpachi and Sakaki. He is a New York native, being born in the Bronx and raised there most of his life. He is street smart and knows what to expect in the big city. It is also here where he becomes friends with Bradley Wilder. The two became great friends. However, after he was basically at the wrong place at the wrong time, Takashi was accused of a crime and his parents thought it would be best if he moved to Hawaii with his grandparents for a few years. While in Hawaii, Takashi took up surfing and fishing. After his parents thought it was okay for him to come back, he did, but they had moved to Brooklyn. This made Takashi feel isolated and away from his friends back in the Bronx. This caused his Kagami to worry about him, who was technically his legal guardian as his parents were out of the country on both business and vacation, only coming back once in a while. Takashi tried to adjust and became friends with Laura. About the same time as Laura’s powers developed, so did his. Seeing how dangerous both of their powers were, Takashi thought it was best that they both don’t use their powers often, or at all.

Character Song: "Try, Try, Try" by Smashing Pumpkins
Rachel was born into an average middle class family. With a younger brother, Allen, she lives in St. George on Staten Island with her mother and step-father. Her father, a stock broker, lives in Manhattan and she frequently lives with him, even going to school in Manhattan, commuting from Staten Island. Considered a social outcast by many of the kids at her schools through the years, she has moved into a dark part of her mind, creating a little world of her own. She has very few friends over the years. Throughout her youth, she has dyed her hair different colors, causing her natural brunette hair color to be multicolored with yellow, red, black, and even a little purple showing. As her powers began to show themselves, they began to take effect on her. As she had her own little world in her mind, it became real to her. While her body was in a coma, her mind was in the world she had created. Rachel had to literally fight herself to regain control and break free from herself. Her power of altering reality and even time itself is a big burden for her to understand and deal with. This is when she understood how powerful her powers were and she knew that she had to be careful. Yet, fighting herself and living in autophobia often got the best of her as her emotions got the best of her, and they often still do.

Character Song: "Falling For the First Time" by Barenaked Ladies
Jean-Luc, like Laura, was raised in an orphanage. Unlike her however, Jean-Luc was abandoned because his parents could not deal with having a son who was born blind. Despite his handicap, Luke, as the others would call him, still lived a normal life, or as close as one could have. He was given a black piece of cloth to go over his eyes by a friend who also had a handicap like him at the orphanage, a missing arm. The two became friends until Luke’s friend was diagnosed with liver cancer and had to be at the hospital around the clock. Luke did not hear from his friend ever again, but he still believes that his friend is still fighting. He never speaks about this friend. Luke’s power started to develop about a month after this incident. He could see with what he named his ‘mind’s eye’. His movement became enhanced and became that of an acrobat. Despite having the ‘eye’, Luke is unable to see light, fire, and works. In fact, he states that when he sees people, he sees them as ‘wire-frames that talk.’ After six years of this, he turned eighteen and left the orphanage and found a shack onto of a warehouse in Battery Park to live in where he still lives in.

Character Song: "Purple Haze" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Bradley is the son of a pair of EMS medics and the grandson of a famous boxer. Bradley, full of pride of his grandfather’s legacy, took up boxing. However, both his grandparents and his own parents aren’t too thrilled with the idea but encourage him to do his best. His parents were killed in an ambulance accident when Bradley was ten, two years before Takashi moved to Hawaii. His grandparents took him and raised him there home in the south end of the Bronx, near where he used to live. Bradley always kept his training up and trying to get his grandfather’s approval of taking up boxing. His grandfather is worried that he might get into trouble with his boxing and with street fighting. Despite Bradley’s promise, he still worries. Bradley’s power emerged when he was training solo one day. He found his speed can help him in boxing. He found his speed can get up to around the speeds of 160 mph. However, he has been able to push himself to reach speeds of around 500 plus, meaning he’s still evolving with his power.
