Bullies

Four from the same class. They stick together, but don't advertise their "team." They're feared not for their cruelty, but for their unpredictability.

Reputation

Any conflict with them ends in 10-15 seconds—quickly and humiliatingly. Teachers turn a blind eye, the principal shrugs. Students are divided into victims (they've already tried), sycophants (they tolerate them, but don't let them into the circle), and neutrals (they avoid them). Because of them, three students transferred, one was hospitalized with a nervous breakdown, and one teacher went on vacation. Whether it's true—no one has checked, but they don't dare ask out loud.

Who is who

Illo (blue hair, teleportation up to 50 meters) is the leader. He holds the group together and decides when and who to engage. He argues with Axel, leaves Kaimer alone, and teases Elias.

Axel (pink, accelerates to stop time for 7 seconds) – noise and energy. The most noticeable, he gets into fights the most. Without him, the gang is too gloomy. He's the only one who lightens the mood after a tough fight.

Kaymer (white, invisibility up to 3 minutes) is a "shadow." He barely speaks, just acts. He's the most terrifying to enemies because they can't see him. Axel teases him ("ghost"), Kaymer ignores him.

Elias (yellow, mind reading within a 10-meter radius) is the "silent thunder." He's feared more than anyone else: he can drag out any dirty secret. He doesn't do it without reason, but if someone offends the gang, he'll blurt out the offender's most shameful thoughts.

Battle plan

1. Elias reads the enemy’s thoughts (fears, plans, weak points).
2. Illo teleports to where he is needed most.
3. Kaymer becomes invisible - reconnaissance or attack from behind.
4. Axel, on command "Time", stops everything for 7 seconds and knocks out the rest.

The opponents simply don’t have time to understand what happened.

Appearance
Elias is rough and quiet, but not as tall as Illo. He has short, sunny-yellow hair, wide cheekbones, a straight nose, and amber eyes with a cold, scanning gaze. He dresses minimalistically: a white hoodie with a black T-shirt underneath, loose black pants with pockets, and heavy sneakers. No jewelry, just a black cord around his neck. He has fresh abrasions on his knuckles, scuffs on his elbows, and an old scar on his left shoulder.

Character
Elias is a "silent thunder." He's blunt and straightforward, speaking his mind, viewing emotion as a weakness. He loves fighting—it's a way for him to clear his mind and test his strength. He always rushes into the fray first, without waiting for orders. Behind his stony mask, he hides an inability to express emotion: he cares for his friends through actions—adjusting their hood, advising on how to avoid injury, fetching water. He considers himself the gang's "shield" and takes blows without hesitation, even if it goes against his principles.

Ability
Elias is a mind reader. His ability works within a 15-meter radius. He can discern fears, intentions, dreams, emotions, and so on through thoughts. He rarely uses it on any of the gang.

Appearance
Axel is a bundle of energy: bright pink, spiky hair, a wide smile, and sparkling eyes. He dresses in tracksuits or oversized jackets with neon pink accents, a chunky silver chain, platform sneakers, and always wears sunglasses (even indoors). He wears studded rings on his fingers, which he loves to twirl.

Character
Axel is the life of the party, a perpetual joker and optimist. He jokes before a fight, laughs loudly, can't keep his voice down, and loves being the center of attention. Behind his clown facade lies a deadly danger: friendship is sacred to him, and if anyone touches his gang, the cheerful mood vanishes instantly. In battle, he turns into a ruthless machine, seeing no difference between "punish" and "kill." His main weakness is impulsiveness; he rushes into the thick of things without considering the consequences.

Ability
Axel can "stop time"—but in reality, he accelerates his own perception and reaction time to the extreme. The world freezes for him for any amount of time, from five seconds to an hour, during which he can run across the street, dispatch a group of enemies, or shield his friends. The effect's radius is practically a planet. After use, his body "rolls back" for a couple of seconds (his muscles repeat their movements in reverse), disorienting him. The ability activates at the height of his emotions—anger is the most reliable trigger, especially if someone threatens his friends.

Here's a shortened image of Kaimer with a new ability - 3 paragraphs.

Appearance
Kaimer is a living shadow: platinum-white, coarse hair, sharp features, and a piercing, emotionless gray gaze. He wears exclusively black, matte, light-absorbing clothing—a high-collared leather jacket and loose-fitting trousers. On his wrist is a massive metal bracelet with runes (an "anchor" for strength). His expression is perpetually sullen, remaining stony even in moments of mirth.

Character
Kaymer is the gang's "ghost": he operates from the shadows, speaks dryly and without intonation, and doesn't joke. He is fanatically loyal and considers himself a guardian—if one of the boys is in danger, he instantly disappears and reappears behind the enemy. He loves to toy with his victims, using invisibility to whisper in their ears, touch their shoulders, and drive them mad with fear. He is pragmatic and cruel: he sees no difference between "enemy" and "human." Behind his invisibility, like a shield, he conceals his own vulnerability and fear of being seen as weak.

Ability
Kaymer doesn't disappear, but rather causes light to bend around his body, creating a "bubble" effect in the air—objects behind him are visible but blurred. The maximum duration is 20 minutes of continuous invisibility, after which a rest period is required. Accidental physical contact instantly breaks the invisibility. In this state, he sees the world in gray tones, as if through a cloudy glass (colors and details are blurred). When activated, a pale, ghostly haze erupts around him, and his eyes glow a dull gray. He uses this ability for reconnaissance, surprise attacks from behind, and distraction, creating the illusion of being surrounded.

Appearance
Illo stands out among the gang with his electric-blue short hair and the intricate patterns on his shaved temples. He has sharp, regular features, a piercing gaze, and a large hoop earring in his left ear. He dresses in black urban grunge: a worn leather jacket, a T-shirt with an abstract print, leather or heavy trousers with ripped knees, and chunky boots with thick soles. Around his neck is a thin silver chain, and on his wrist is an engraved bracelet that serves as an "anchor" for his power.

Character
Illo is a natural leader and bully who lives on the edge of conflict. He speaks little but to the point, enjoys taunting his opponents before a fight, and thrives on adrenaline. At the same time, he is fiercely loyal to his gang—treating them like family and rushing to their rescue without hesitation, using teleportation for instant rescue. Behind his confident, provocative facade lies a fear of losing control of his power: he doesn't fully understand its limits.

Ability
Illo's teleportation has a range of up to 50 meters, requires a clearly visible landing point, and drains him. After a series of jumps, blue sparks appear on his skin, and his eyes glow blue. In protracted combat, he relies not only on instantaneous movement but also on brute force. Illo is the first to rush into the thick of his enemies to disorient them—he considers caution a virtue for the weak, and his ability both a gift and a curse.
