Jakob Andersen (23/24) is the oldest of the two Andersen brothers. He’s ‘proven to be good at everything’, although he doesn’t seem to like to specialise. He likes to tinker with things and improve them, and also eat ice cream.
“It is that easy for Jakob. Believe me, nothing is hard for him”
– Wil |

Wil Andersen (17/18) is the younger of the brothers and consequently in Jakob’s shadow, although he doesn’t mind as much as he might because his brother has always looked out for him. When Jakob goes missing he decides he has to repay the favour and find him. Wil is unsure what exactly he’s good at in life; despite being intelligent enough to study at the University, Science isn’t where his interests lie.
“I’m not really a great Scientist. I go to university to keep my Mother happy. Jakob is the one with talent.”

Ysendra (19/20) is a Weather Witch with an attitude problem and a bias against ‘Science Boys’. Despite this, she’s helping Wil deal with finding his brother. She doesn’t like talking about herself.
“Maybe I don’t fancy following tradition. Stop poking at my life!”
- Ysendra |

Science is a catch-all term for any sort of innovation carried out by the majority of the population. It covers both what we would term science and also invention/design. The fashionable/ruling classes in this world have been replaced by Scientists who have made their money from their work, or investors whose choices have paid off.
“You only see Science as something that destroys everything in its path to make progress. [...] Science is so much more than smoke and gunfire.”

Weather Witching/Magic is a skill only passed down in Weather Witch bloodlines. It allows manipulation of the weather, including wind, rain, and lightning by the user.
“You’re the only human lightning rod I know.”
- Wil, to Ysendra |
