NAME: Maxwell Kanbayashi

BIRTHDATE: June 26th

PRONOUNS: He / him

POWERS: Ability to communicate with and summon spirits and entities from other dimensions

✦

A 14-year-old trans boy who can see ghosts. He grew up unaware that this ability was magical, something he – a human – shouldn't have. He fights to get to the bottom of this, but ends up with more questions than answers. Max is a very stubborn, impulsive kid who can be blunt (to the point that it gets him in trouble) but is ultimately very compassionate and sweet.

NAME: Archimedes

BIRTHDATE: [???]

PRONOUNS: They / them

POWERS: [???]

✦

A seemingly terrifying eldritch monster who is actually very timid and sweet. They befriended Max when he was younger but accidentally attacked him, creating his overwhelming fear of spirits. Although they are a very kind being, Archie can turn into a terrifying force to be reckoned with.

NAME: Alice Robertson

BIRTHDATE: March 28th

PRONOUNS: She / her

POWERS: None

✦

Max's best friend. Outgoing and headstrong, Alice is a popular kid in high school and the star volleyball player of her team – except all of it is a facade. She buries herself in school work, social events, anything so she doesn't have to deal with the grief of losing her brother years ago.

Despite her reputation, Alice is a big nerd and is one of the weird kids. She loves the paranormal, even dabbling in witchcraft (in the hopes it will give her answers to what happened to her brother). But when she learns that Max can see ghosts and wants to overcome his fear of them, Alice eagerly helps, unaware of the horrors that await both of them.

NAME: Judas

PRONOUNS: He / they

POWERS: [???]

✦

A malicious, shadowy spirit that Max and Alice find in the woods. Judas questions why Max has powers and reveals the existence of magic to the two teens. He leaves them both with a terrifying question: why does Max, a human, possess magic? And where did it come from?
