SKETCHINODA
Sketchinoda are a team of three reality warpers: Hagane Kumaga, Coleen Kurugi, and Alvin Himmelskarte. Each have various abilities and roles within the team. They are, officially, mercenaries, but a lack of brutality or actual knowledge of the business leaves them with little actual jobs to do, so they spend the majority of their time chilling out in their office, waiting for a client to come with a job that needs doing.
There is evidence to suggest the three of them being siblings, despite the biological differences. However, as seen in the photograph above, it is often commented that they all have the same eyes, despite the varying colours.
Each member of Sketchinoda have abilities based around two emblems, and can summon their signature weapon, or their Sketch, at will. Their Sketch is unbreakable and has magical properties, and can only be wielded by themselves.
Hagane Kumaga
Emblem: Deconstruction and Reconstruction
Sketch: Kodo Rasen
Hagane Kumaga is the designated leader of the group. While not the most level headed, she is certainly the most self-motivated and courageous member of Sketchinoda. She has the ability to carry out any chemical reaction she desires, including reforming matter at an atomic level and converting energy into matter, and vice versa.
Hagane has a near-photogenic memory, and is a huge database of scientific knowledge. Every chemical reaction or transmutation she performs is reliant on her own knowledge of chemistry and physics. She is able to carry out complex mathematical problems in her head at incredible speeds, which enables her to perform complex procedures, such as converting the surrounding energy and dust molecules into large physical matter and launching them at high speeds.
Personality wise, she is cool and calculating, despite her tendency to fly off the handle, earning her moniker 'Hag'. Her outbursts are usually shortlived, and are often kept inside and noticeable only to her teammates. She will always analyse a situation before making a decision, and will often use underhanded methods to ensure survival or success, though preferring to stay on the morally clean side of the line.
Her Sketch, Kodo Rasen, is a red lance that spirals into two prongs. It has the ability to make matter and energy spiral around it, making it a natural railgun when thrown. Rasen can also able to obtain the genetic data of any biological life form it pierces, allowing Hagane to create short-lived homunculi based on that lifeform.
She supports the team's lack of income by working part-time as a college lecturer, already holding three PhD's in Maths, Physics, and Chemistry.

Coleen Kurugi
Emblem: Song and Show
Sketch: Record Gear
Coleen Kurugi is the Lancer of the group. Her cool personality often leads her to insulting others, but in her mind that is how friends are. She is constantly ripping into those she cares about, tearing others down as a form of humour. However, those she cares about recognise this as such and often reciprocate, often leading to something slightly more advanced than a schoolyard 'Yo Momma' fight. She can appear androgynous, especially when wearing baggy clothing and sunglasses as she often does, and she often adds to the confusion with her swagger and masculine manner of speaking.
Cole suffers from Synthesia: An neurological disorder in which the stimulation of one sense manifests itself in multiple senses. For Cole, she can see sound. growing up, she thought this was an ability, linked with her actual power, and caused by her red eyes. However, her red eyes are only because she's Albino, part of the reason she almost constantly wears sunglasses and dyes her hair. Her favourite hair colours are blue and blonde.
Her ability lets her use music to manipulate the world around her. With the right beat, pitch and lyrics, she can make trees uproot themselves and dance, she can make sky scrapers rise from the ground, she can launch energy blasts at blinding speeds and accuracy. However, all of these are dependant on the song and will fade away once the music stops.
Her Sketch, Record Gear, takes the form of a vinyl record resting on a large red gear. She can summon two at the same time, and float under her hand until thrown. She fights using them as Chakram, and they return to her hands after being thrown. Using Record Gear, Coleen can jump in time by spinning the discs with her fingers. A jump is usually between a split second or two seconds, forwards or backwards, like a CD when it jumps a beat. Intense disk scratching can cause further jumps or create paradox clones of herself.
She supports the team financially by working as a DJ

Alvin Himmelskarte.
Emblem: Creation and Transportation
Sketch: Portal
Alvin is the self-designated slacker of the group. He is just too chilled out to give a crap about anything. He's very happy to go with the flow, let others do the work, and to enjoy his own thing. He is a very talented gymnast, and is gifted physically in speed, stamina, and strength, but he just doesn't care about anything.
He will, however, stand up to the occasion when required. His ability is to create pocket spaces, whole universes, at will, and portals within them. When inside these worlds, he can enter a trance-like state where he can fly, move at incredible speeds, withstand incredible damage and manipulate the world around him at will. He can matter out of nothing, and relocate it as he pleases, an ability he himself views as cheating. However, outside of these worlds, he is powerless aside from his physical abilities. Many of these portals lead to a beach by default, and he has to make a conscious effort if he wants the portal to lead to a specific location other than a beach within these worlds. Despite the encouragement from his teammates, he refuses to rename his ability, declining the alternative names of Edencraft, or Minescape. Time in these worlds is relative, and can spend multiple hours there resting in the space of a few seconds in the real world.
Alvin is an expert survivalist. One could dump him in the middle of the woods without his abilities and he will have built a wooden cabin and a complete toolset by nightfall. By the end of the second day he will have mined coal and iron ore from the ground, built a furnace, and would be forging steel tools to build a stone house, which would be complete with crude plumbing and electricity by the end of the week, even making glass from the natural sand. It is in these kind of wilderness situations that Alvin displays his true prowess, an expert craftsman, miner, woodsman, even as a builder and architect. Alvin is happiest when it is him against the wild, braving nightly swarms of zombies, giant spiders and other unnatural beasts in his own world instead of developing skills to survive in metropolitan society.
Alvin's Emblem and Sketch are unusual when compared to those of his teammates. While Hagane and Coleen name their powers after their Emblems, Alvin names his power after his Sketch, the portal. He can create multiple portals at will, in the world around him and into his own world. He uses these to great effect in battle, warping around the battle field, opening portals to lakes of magma above his foe, and redirecting attacks.
He does not have a job. When not in his own world, he just sits on his backside all day until they get a mission, much to the annoyance of his teammates due to the rich and fertile nature of his worlds, where he already grows fruit, vegetables, and mines for ores.

HISTORY
Yeah, that's what we got. Lemme know what you think. Teammate relationships are platonic but good. Everyone's psychologically balanced.
