CHARACTERS: Flame, Wemmbu, Parrot, and Spoke

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

🔥 Flame

AGE: 18 YEAR: Freshman

APPEARANCE: Flame is an eighteen-year-old boy with a lean build and messy dark hair. He usually dresses casually in hoodies, graphic T-shirts, jeans, cargo pants, and sneakers. He prefers darker clothes with occasional red or orange accents. His appearance is usually a little messy, mostly because he doesn't care enough to spend a long time getting ready.

PERSONALITY: Flame is confident, energetic, competitive, and outspoken. He loves turning practically everything into a competition, even when there's absolutely no reason for one. He's playful and enjoys teasing his friends, sometimes deliberately annoying them just to get a reaction. Despite his loud confidence, he's genuinely caring and protective toward the people close to him. He's stubborn and has a hard time admitting when he's wrong.

BACKGROUND: Flame is a freshman in college and is studying in the same area as the rest of his friend group. He's always been competitive and tends to throw himself into anything that interests him, especially gaming, sports, and other competitive activities. He became close with Wemmbu, Parrot, and Spoke through gaming and eventually formed a tight-knit friend group with them.

Flame comes from the most stable home life among the four. His parents are supportive and affectionate, sometimes to the point of spoiling him. Even after moving into college life, they're constantly checking in on him and making sure he's doing okay.

Despite his confident personality, Flame has one thing he refuses to talk about: his feelings for Spoke. What started as a small crush has gradually become something much harder to ignore.

OTHER:

• Gets competitive over basically anything.
• Loves gaming late at night.
• Frequently challenges Wemmbu to random competitions.
• Pretends not to care when he's actually worried.
• Has a habit of teasing people he genuinely likes.
• Can be surprisingly protective.
• Hates losing.
• Insists he's "not tired" while being completely exhausted.
• Gets noticeably awkward whenever Spoke compliments him.
• Will deny having a crush on Spoke despite making it painfully obvious.

🌌 Wemmbu

AGE: 19 YEAR: Sophomore

APPEARANCE: Wemmbu is a nineteen-year-old boy with a slim build and messy dark hair. He usually wears oversized hoodies, loose T-shirts, jeans or cargo pants, and sneakers. He often has headphones around his neck or tucked into his backpack. His style is comfortable and casual, and he rarely puts much effort into dressing up unless he has to.

PERSONALITY: Wemmbu is curious, clever, sarcastic, and adventurous. He's the kind of person who becomes completely obsessed with something once it catches his attention. He's constantly asking questions and wanting to investigate things that other people would probably ignore. He's impulsive and occasionally gets himself into trouble because he thinks something would be fun.

Wemmbu often uses humor when he's embarrassed or uncomfortable and isn't particularly good at handling serious emotional conversations. He'd rather make a joke than admit something genuinely bothers him.

BACKGROUND: Wemmbu is a sophomore in college and has known Flame, Parrot, and Spoke for several years through gaming and online communities. He's spent a huge portion of his life playing Minecraft and other games, which became one of the main ways he connected with his friends.

He's intelligent and capable but easily distracted, especially when something more interesting catches his attention. He's usually the person responsible for convincing everyone else to investigate something they probably shouldn't.

His home life is considerably more complicated than he lets on. His relationship with his father has been difficult and unhealthy, leaving Wemmbu with a tendency to hide his problems behind jokes and act as though everything is fine. Because of this, he struggles with trusting people with serious personal issues.

OTHER:

• Stays up ridiculously late playing games.
• Frequently gets distracted during conversations.
• Loves exploring unusual places.
• Sends random videos to his friends at completely unreasonable hours.
• Has a strange amount of useless knowledge.
• Uses humor when he's nervous.
• Gets extremely invested in random hobbies.
• Often gets Flame involved in his questionable ideas.
• Is usually the first person to suggest investigating a strange magical phenomenon.
• Hates being asked if he's actually okay.

🦜 Parrot

AGE: 20 YEAR: Junior

APPEARANCE: Parrot is a twenty-year-old boy with a slim build and slightly messy dark hair. He has an expressive face and tends to make his emotions obvious. His clothing is casual but more colorful than the others, usually consisting of graphic T-shirts, colorful hoodies, jackets, jeans, cargo pants, and sneakers. He likes accessories and often has brightly colored bracelets, pins, or keychains attached to his backpack.

PERSONALITY: Parrot is playful, energetic, witty, and social. As the oldest member of the group, he sometimes naturally falls into the role of looking after everyone else, although he'd immediately deny being the "responsible one."

He's constantly making jokes and teasing his friends, especially when someone gives him an easy opportunity. He's clever and observant despite frequently acting ridiculous. When someone is genuinely upset, however, Parrot becomes much more serious and tries to help.

Parrot has developed a habit of putting other people's problems before his own. He's extremely good at comforting people but terrible at admitting when he needs comfort himself.

BACKGROUND: Parrot is a junior in college and has known the others for years through gaming and school. Because he's the oldest of the group, he often ends up acting like an unofficial older brother despite everyone being adults now.

His parents are emotionally distant but compensate by giving him gifts and material things. Over time, Parrot learned to associate taking care of others with being useful and loved. As a result, he's developed a strong savior complex and feels responsible for fixing everyone's problems.

He rarely opens up about his own struggles. Instead, he'll immediately focus on someone else's problems whenever attention turns toward him.

OTHER:

• Constantly gives people stupid nicknames.
• Loves making people laugh.
• Pretends he's more mature than everyone else.
• Gets dragged into Wemmbu's ideas anyway.
• Acts like Flame's unofficial mediator.
• Is very competitive despite claiming he isn't.
• Loves annoying Flame.
• Is usually the first to notice when someone is genuinely upset.
• Gives surprisingly good advice.
• Almost never follows his own advice.
• Will stay awake talking to a friend who needs him, even if he has class the next morning.

🌑 Spoke

AGE: 18 YEAR: Freshman

APPEARANCE: Spoke is an eighteen-year-old trans man with a smaller, lean build and dark hair. He is on the shorter side and has a softer, somewhat androgynous appearance. He is pre-T, which contributes to his naturally feminine features. He usually wears oversized black or dark-colored hoodies, simple T-shirts, loose pants, and sneakers. His clothing is primarily chosen for comfort rather than fashion.

He often carries a backpack covered in small pins and keychains and tends to keep his hood up when he's tired or doesn't want attention.

PERSONALITY: Spoke is intelligent, sarcastic, quiet, and observant. He's more reserved than the others and usually watches what's happening before deciding whether he wants to get involved. His humor is dry and deadpan, and he'll occasionally say something completely ridiculous with a completely serious expression.

Spoke is stubborn and fiercely independent. He doesn't like people assuming he's incapable of handling things simply because he's smaller or quieter than the others. He'd rather solve a problem himself than admit he needs help.

BACKGROUND: Spoke is a freshman in college alongside Flame. Although he's eighteen like Flame, he sometimes gets treated as the "youngest" of the group because he's quieter and less outgoing than everyone else.

He's known Wemmbu, Parrot, and Flame for years through gaming, eventually becoming one of the core members of their friend group. Parrot tends to look after him the most, while Wemmbu and Flame treat him more like an equal and constantly tease him.

Spoke's home life has been unstable. His father has been abusive, while his mother is frequently absent and emotionally unavailable. Because of his upbringing, Spoke has become extremely guarded and has difficulty trusting people with his problems.

He hates being pitied and will often insist that he's fine even when he's clearly struggling.

Spoke also has a secret he refuses to tell anyone: he's in love with Flame.

OTHER:

• Hates being treated like the "baby" of the group.
• Is extremely sarcastic.
• Doesn't like admitting when he needs help.
• Gets irritated when people underestimate him.
• Quietly looks up to Parrot.
• Often ends up listening to Wemmbu's ridiculous ideas.
• Can hold his own during arguments.
• Pretends not to care about his friends but obviously does.
• Has a surprisingly short temper when someone treats him like a child.
• Gets flustered whenever Flame gives him genuine attention.
• Tries very hard to hide his feelings for Flame.
• Secretly keeps little gifts and mementos Flame has given him.

✦ COLLEGE DYNAMIC

Flame — 18, Freshman The competitive one. Constantly challenges everyone and acts like college is just another competition.

Wemmbu — 19, Sophomore The troublemaker. Usually responsible for the group's most questionable decisions.

Parrot — 20, Junior The unofficial older brother. Gives everyone advice while refusing to discuss his own problems.

They attend the same college and frequently meet between classes, in the dorms, at the library, or at one of their usual hangout spots. Their friendship has existed for years, so despite being at different points in college, they still naturally gravitate toward each other.

The four eventually become magical boys, with their powers awakening around the same period. Their college lives continue alongside their secret lives fighting witches and supernatural creatures.
