So basically my latest plot is this. There are a group of children with interesting special powers who are kidnapped and brought to a facility where they are constantly tested and forced to help people with money and no good intentions. Over the years they have become especially close, until one day, when a test goes wrong and one of them is killed. They set off to find a way to bring her back - only to discover that even people who know that secret of life (that is the power of the girl who dies) will not be granted immortality.

Xavier Threshare
- A fourteen year old with the ability to read the minds and feelings of others. He sees everything from their motives to their deepest secrets as easily as if they were printed onto their skin. It has made him extremely empathetic and forgiving since he knows the private battles that everyone fights. The disadvantage of this however, is that since his mind is always so clouded with others' problems, it's as if he has no mind of his own. His feelings are nearly always a mystery and it is as if he has no personality at all.
- Appearance: black hair with the occasional streak of premature grey. Dark blue eyes.

Arin Devoid
- A thirteen year old with the ability of extreme observation. It's as if she has an instantaneous photographic memory. Whenever she sees anything - be it a human or a page of a book - every detail about it engraves itself into her mind. It can be helpful, but also aggravating and distracting, and often makes her cranky and short nerved.
- Appearance. Dark brown hair that looks unevenly chopped that hangs around her shoulders. Pale green eyes.

Peggy Parady
- A sixteen year old with the ability of truth. She can tell by a short conversation with someone whether or not they are sincere. She knows more random facts and information than anyone really should. At her old school, before she was taken, she was often mocked for doing perfectly on everything. It isn't that she is extremely intelligent however, merely that she knows more solid facts than anyone else.
- Appearance: a strange mixture of red and blonde strands of hair that give the appearance that she has pale pink hair. If you look more closely however, you notice that it is a mix of blonde and red. Pale brown eyes.

Jeremy Webb
- A twelve year old with the ability of pure talent. His "gift" is more simple than anyone else's, anything he tries he immediately masters and excels in. It often is an annoyance to those around him though, since they know they can never be better than him. He is rather thingyy and self-assured although shows an occasional streak of sweetness towards only his closest friends.
-Appearance: Dark brown hair and golden eyes.

Soran Ervast
- A seven year old with the secret of life. Stubborn and obviously young in her mannerisms, Soran's mixture of wisdom and juvenile behavior often come off as strange recklessness and scare her friends a great deal. She holds the wisdom of the secret to everything, and it irritates the rest to be patronized by a seven year old.
- Appearance: Light brown wispy hair and dark brown eyes.

Brace Best
- A fifteen year old. Logical as well as athletic and quick witted, Brace's power is not so obvious. His tongue is often a bit too sharp, so to speak, and it gets him into trouble. Besides his ability to figure out a math problem more quickly than the average genius, his "gift" is often more of a hindrance than a help as well as a bit of a mystery.
- Appearance: curly blonde hair and baby blue eyes

Quinton Sklar
- fourteen years old and with the gift of unlimited intelligence. He speaks like an elderly Englishman and - before he was kidnapped - spent all of his spare time reading. At third grade he was in the fifth grade class and he continued skipping grades until the senior SATs became a bore to him. He often is considered obnoxious, however, because he usually corrects people on mistaken facts and the misuse of words.
- Appearance: dark red hair that is perfectly cut and grey eyes.

Lark
- Eighteen years old. He has never told them his real name, although it is suspected that Xavier and Quinton both know it. (Xavier knows everything about everyone and Quinton figured it out) Lark plays the father role in the group, being overly protective and bossy most of the time. Although he often is a bit mean and haughty, particularly to Brace and Jeremy, it is obvious that he cares about his friends and would do anything for them. His ability is that he is an excellent craftsman. He can do the impossible with the simplest of materials and never fails to amaze everyone. He is the one who managed to turn their room from shambles into a halfway decent place to stay.
- Appearance: Long black hair with a single streak of blonde that hangs in front of his eyes. Deep brown eyes that almost blend in with his pupils.
