Is it book character design time?

Yes, yes it is.

(I had forgotten that I had meant to tell you all this stuff and then Kolron posted something like this so I'm really sorry that I kind of copied you, but the characters themselves look nothing alike.)
You can easily pick out which one I am. The girl with too much yellow in her design. This book is going to be full of Easter eggs, random references to Kantrias, and old names I am reusing.

The girl on the far left is Alex. She is my friend’s OC, and has the power to put people to sleep by touching them. This is only transmitted through touching the skin, so gloves prevent her from randomly making those she hugs fall asleep.

The one next to her in the middle left is me. Ichika. She has telekinesis, and it can be shown through blue energy I randomly threw in there. Very different from Rose, eh?
Speaking of Rose... I reused her power for a girl named Aria. She has wings (obviously) and is on the opposite side (there are two sides, ASTO (American Society of Talented Others) and NNB (New Natormy Base)) or ASTO. (Our heroines are on NNB.)

Back on track, Naomi (or EC) has the power of charm. She can basically manipulate anyone to do their bidding. Her younger brother, Charles (who is not featured in this photo but the next one and is Antarctical Nordic Lands), has the power of luck. Pretty self explanatory.

Cathal (the one in the wheelchair) is the paralyzed mashup of Erik, Uclosa's design, and Cathal (or Sulter and Ulm's characters) from the first book I showed to you all, Don’t Feed the Freaks. Cathal has the power to fight really well and his left arm turns all scaly when doing so. His power activation can be shown by his eyes glowing orange. Of course, I didn’t really know what he would look like so I messed around with his appearance. He looks way different than he does in this photo. He also has prosthetic legs now! Yayyy

Terra (Who is not in any of these photos) is the mashup of Sulter’s design and Timmy from DFF (don’t feed the freaks). Terra looks exactly like Cathal, but shorter, and has a grayish-blue trench coat. His powers are manipulating plants. Also shown by orange eyes.

Where is Page, or Seraph/Tuskena’s character from DFF?
Good question! He is on the ASTO side, similar to Rose’s reincarnation. He goes by John or something now, but I dunno he might have rock arms or have the power of sight but I just remembered him a few weeks ago so he’s not a very well developed character yet.

Hooolllldd up you mentioned Mihai and Kolron a few weeks ago! What’s up with that?!
Ah yes. I loved including them into this book. Truly a wonderful time I had confusing my friend with Zoygarian. If you’re wondering what I did,
Mihai and Kolron Avarí Kaschak are father and son. (Adopted I think, but I made them have the same eyes so maybe Mihai is Kolron’s uncle? I don’t know) (In this world everyone has powers but it’s super unique so some people’s powers only work when their counterpart is around.) Mihai has the power to stop time temporarily in a small area, or at least make everything sluggish. Kolron’s works best when Mihai’s is in affect. When they blink during that stopped time period, they stop the energy that fuels the present people’s powers and basically erase their powers until Kolron blinks again. If Kolron doesn’t use their power while Mihai stops time, then they can pick one person and drain their energy, causing them to fall unconscious. Also Mihai is still Zoygarian, they use Zoygarian regularly to accompany their English. But Kolron is ✨Italian✨.

Who is the pink girl?
She is the character of my friend, she lives in an AU where I kill the current squad and leave Charles all alone. Oh yes! And Ichika is currently being blackmailed by a reincarnated Erik! He can read minds and is really annoying and kills the current squad. I know. Not a very good reincarnation.

What are the colorful masks on the characters?
Those are the way that we can distinguish NNB from ASTO. ASTO has codenames you refer to your fellow recruits as, and NNB uses your real name and hides your face. Did I mention that ASTO is American and NNB is the rest of the world? It was a coincidence I’m sorry

Why did you tell us all this?
In summer of 2021 I will hopefully be finished with this storyline and publish it to Wattpad! I'm already sort of some with the first book I just need to transfer it. It's gonna be super unprofessional and lazy because it was done over roleplay, so it will look bad and its pretty cliche but I had fun while making this stuff so its fiiiiine.

I think I covered everything. Whew! That as a lot to type. Hopefull ythat all makes sense
