Intriguing! This looks like it could turn out to be very interesting indeed.

Name: Semolian Lee

Age: Fifteen and five eighths.

Appearance: Very tall and awkwardly skinny. She has just recently had her growth spurt, and she is used to being very small and plump, so she doesn't know what to do with her arms and legs. She has long, thick, black hair that is dyed in a blue and purple ombre from the middle to the end of it. It is usually worn in a braid or straight down  her back, where she is almost able to sit on it. Her skin is extremely pale, and she is prone to sunburn and freckling, so she usually wears a large purple sunhat that has become very worn around the edges. She wears loose, tunic-type tops, jeggings, and flip-flops most of the time. She doesn't wear any jewelry except for a small, silver hoop earing in the upper cartridge of her left ear.

Personality: She is extremely friendly, but a bit awkward. She has a photographic memory, and loves to draw people and sunsets. She makes and drops friends easily, because she has a high ideal for the sort of person she wants to be her best friend, and anyone who doesn't match up with that ideal cannot interest her for long. She enjoys listening to rock music in French.

Gender/Pronouns: Female, she/her/hers

Packing list: Some clothes, a phone, earbuds, a charger. A sketchbook, a pack of colored pencils and a set of other sketching supplies. A small, pocket sketchbook and a collapsible pencil. A hairbrush, rubber bands, and 4 scrunchies.

Backstory/reason they need to time travel: When she was 11 years old, she met a boy at summer camp in her new town. It was a very boring camp, all things considered, but the two of them struck a chord. For 3 years, the two of them were inseparable. But, the year before high school, they fought over something or other very unimportant, and their friendship was lost. Later that year, the boy moved to New York to act on Broadway. They never made up after the fight, and it was the greatest regret of Semolian's life. (Please do not turn this into a romantic relationship.)

This sounds awesome! I'm on mobile right now so the formatting might be off.

Name: Jack Aaron Ellis

Age: 25

Appearance: Messy light brown hair, light skin, dark brown eyes, tall and lanky.

Personality: Jack’s very curious and always likes to try new things, but is afraid of what others will think of him. His mind is always working overtime, and he has a huge imagination. He’s really good at climbing and building, and always has a plan for everything. However, he tends to focus on his faults rather than his strengths, making him a bit vulnerable.

Gender/Pronouns: Male, he/him

Packing List: Clothes and essentials, a notebook, some food, and a necklace with a jade pendant (see backstory).

Backstory/reason they need to time travel: When he was 20, Jack got engaged to his fianceé, Anne. He loved her more than anything. About two months before the wedding, she boarded a plane to go visit some family in England. There was a tropical storm, and the plane crashed, killing everyone on board. Anne was found with her jade necklace, a gift from Jack. It was given back to him, and he keeps it as a memory of her. He wants to go back in time to save his fianceé.

Name: Kit Leoli

Age: 16

Appearance: Blonde hair and blue eyes, which she detests. She always wears black clothes, favoring dark makeup around her eyes. She also almost NEVER smiles, and she walks with a slight limp in her left leg.

Personality: Cynic, goth, introvert. Hates most everyone except her dog Nero, who is a white husky and follows her everywhere. Occasionly she takes a shine to people for no discernable reason, and is slightly less mean to them, maybe even smiling at them, rarely. But most of the time she walls herself off from the rest of the world. 

Gender/pronouns: Female, she/hers:

Packing list: Duffel bag, and in it her clothes, toiletries, a knife, 50 dollars, a loaded pistol, and an old, battered book.

Backstory/reason they need to time travel: She and her best friend; Mikael, were walking home from school, two years before. They were crossing a busy intersection, not really looking, when a cop car came out of nowhere, lights blaring, turned the corner, and narrowly missed Lyra, grazing her leg. But Mikael wasn't so lucky. It hit him, and he didn't survive the impact. Ever since then, Lyra has hated the police force, and looked for revenge. But time traveling would give her something better than revenge...Her best friend back.

Lyra's also open to shipping with guys her age.

Standing outside his house, Jack Aaron Ellis shivered. It was unusually cold for mid-September, and he clutched the jade necklace in his hand. He checked his watch. It was 11:32, and a sudden tapping sound broke through the silence of the night. Looking up the street, Jack saw a horse-drawn carriage rolling down the street. How odd, he thought as the carriage pulled up. The driver, a dark figure wearing a long purple cloak, said, “Welcome,” it was a woman’s voice that spoke. “You must be Jack. Hop in.” Jack glanced around, shrugged, and hopped into the back of the open carriage. 

Other than Jack, there was one other person in the back of the carriage. A tall girl with black hair, looking as equally as cold as Jack was. With an awkward smile, she said, “Hi, I’m Semolian.”

“Jack,” he replied. The two sat in awkward silence, until the carriage stopped again and another person hopped in. She had a dog trailing behind her, and neither of them made a sound as they sat down, so the awkward silence continued. A few minutes later, two more passengers were in the carriage, who introduced themselves as Alec and Vivian. It was an awkward group, and they sat in silence as the horse-drawn carriage with the hooded driver made its way down the city streets. Suddenly, the carriage turned sharply down an alleyway and rumbled along the gravelly path. After a few more minutes of bumpy roads and sharp turns, the horses stopped trotting abruptly. At first, no one made a move to get out. But a moment later, their driver stepped off of the carriage and lowered her hood.

Her caramel hair fell out around her shoulders, and her icy blue eyes were watching them intently. She stood, running her fingers through her hair silently, and stared at the group in the back of the carriage. They stared back. Finally, her straight face turned into a smile. 

“Hi, I’m Zenara,” she said. “Welcome to GOAT.” She pushed open a door, one that no one in the group had noticed, for it was concealed by the shadows. The group filed out of the carriage and through the entrance, some of them having to duck under the low doorway. 

The inside of the building was about the size of a large storage closet. The entire room was coated in dust and engulfed in darkness - until Zenara flipped a switch, and a dim light flickered on. The periphery of the room was covered in shelves, and in the middle was a bright blue convertible. The group was silent as they looked around the small space. 

“So!” Zenara said, clapping her hands. “Let’s not waste any time. Allow me to introduce you to Mystique,” she held a beholding hand out to the blue convertible and left it there for a moment. A second later, she dropped it in disappointment. “Seriously? No oohs or ahhhs?” The group let out a few weak oohs, then lapsed back into silence. With a shake of her head, Zenara said, “Well, Mystique is going to be your time travel device.” That got a few oohs going. “Let me brief you on how she works. Come on, gather round.” The group ambled over to the convertible and peered inside.
