I already have an idea, I'll shoot you a PM.
@AngelofOctober As previously mentioned, we are willing to help you with the code. To get a clean copy of the sheet without the code, just copy and paste it into a PM and it will format it properly for you for a paste over into Google Docs. I understand that you take issue with this sheet format but as you mentioned, you take issue with the sheet format of every GM just about and this RP has been going strong for 2 years using this format, as well as countless other RPs on the site that use this identical format.
Personality: In a world of ESPers, where combat, medicine, and research all pivot around those powers that transcend human mundanity, those without such abilities are forced to the delegation of side characters or faceless individuals who only exist as a means of moving from point A to point B. This is an absolute fate, and it is this absolute fate that Claudius wages war on. He is an unsalvageable chuunibyou, an outspoken buffoon, and a mad scientist who has dedicated his life to turning the magical into the mundane.
Claudius believes himself to be a "protagonist", a being destined to defeat the ESP-archy that he perceives the world around him to be. In the face of tyranny, he stands tall, an unbending oak to weather the storm. In interactions with others, he is recklessly ostentatious and loudmouthed, a ridiculous jester without peer who is prone to monologue at the slightest opportunity.
Viewing all others as subordinates, inferiors, lesser beings, jesters, and the like, he proclaims himself as a being of a higher standing. Even with regards to those who are objectively above him in ability, such as otherworldly monsters from a higher dimension, transcendent gods who exist outside of time, or his elementary school principal, he does not change this demeanor. For those rare individuals who either believe his words or pretend to play along though, he treats them as valued "sidekicks", though they are still of course disposable pawns. As one could imagine, he has the concept of protagonism so hammered into his soul that it cannot be divorced.
Probably great at parties.
Everyone believes they are the main character of their own story, but Claudius is demented enough to actually believe thatâs true. Declaring himself the âProtagonistâ of this story, Claudius believes himself to be the savior that this world needs.
Claudius descends from a relatively long line of ESPers (read: one of his ancestors was a Gemstone and the rest are just normal people), but was born without ESP himself. His parents were not unreasonable people, and did not view him as lesser for this unfortunate circumstance, raising him as they would any other child. The trouble came when Claudius was seven and his parents had their second child, a girl, who was blessed with a talent currently assessed as rank 4 (read: she went to Academy City and was assessed as a rank 4 after the usual treatment of hard drugs).
The Westerson family has come from a relatively long line of ESPers, in fact one of their ancestors was a Gemstone while a bit less dramatic is the others were normal in comparison. But despite their history bloodline, he himself was not born with ESP. His family, however, not ones to judge loved him all the same for it, caring and protecting and supporting him. Though all of this changed when he was seven and his baby sister was born, blessed with the talent of a rank 4, tested at Academy City through the usual treatment of hard drugs, she became his parents apple of their eye.
While Claudius's parents were not the type to show overt favoritism, they couldn't help but show a trace more attention to their prodigy of a daughter (read: they wrote letters to their daughter who was over in Academy City instead of going to Claudiusâs science fair). This was Claudius's turning point; refusing to accept the reality around him, he proclaimed that he would overcome ESP as a concept, and become something greater.
It was clear after a while that his younger sister became his parents favorite, they couldnât help, but showed more attention to their prodigy of a daughter. While it may seem petty, as a child it greatly impacted him when he found out they wrote letters more often to his sister in Academy City then to him at a science fair. This was a turning point in his life, he wouldnât or couldnât accept this reality around him.
The next decade was filled with Claudius moving to this endeavor. Neglecting his studies to the point where he just barely scraped through school, shutting out all others and immersing himself in his work, he tinkered endlessly to realize his dream. His parents, not wanting to dissuade him from his passions, helped fund his projects, and every so often Claudius actually managed to churn out an invention that worked relatively well and even earned some money thanks to it.
This disillusionment/this denial of accepting this to be his reality began his rebel phase, in the eyes of his parents. Neglecting his studies to the point where he was scraping by in school, shutting out others, and immersing himself in his work.
High-Speed Calculation: Self-explanatory. Also extends to reading.
Description: Subset (read: useless premature result) of Alchemy which appeals to the actualization of form. In terms of theory, it is perhaps more similar to ESP than magecraft. From an outsider's perspective, it is simply the materialization of objects through expenditure of mana. To put it in terms more conducive to magic, the 'referent' of a word within human understanding is used to access the meaning attached to that 'referent', thus generating a catalyst by which phenomena can be formed. Naturally, this scales as one would imagine.

Personality:
Hayden seems to be a carefree person who is always looking to do something that dulls his boredom. He enjoys hitting the town whenever he can and seems to be a likable person whoâs decent to hangout with. He can be handful of times, but in the end he's created the perfect image of a regular guy who's always on peoples good side. When heâs working though he seems to become a completely different person. He becomes cold to others misfortunes and always focuses on his job, doing whatever it takes to get it done. In his line of work the price is always right. He seems to even become a bit unstable, finding new ways to put his life in danger with a smile. On many occasions he's nearly gotten himself killed, though a few days in the hospital always seems to be the cure for that. Itâs no fun unless you almost lose an arm or leg apparently.
Description:
Pyrokinesis involves inducing or increasing the movement or vibrations of a target's molecules through Telekinesis to the point of ignition. In cases where fires are started with no combustible materials present, there may also be a realization factor involved besides heating power
Personality: While normally gentle and soft spoken, she absolutely dislikes doing unnecessary things, or things that annoys her, especially anything that disrupts her normally peaceful life. Once something like that happens, she turns into someone so far removed from her usual personality that one would be hard pressed to associate that with her usual self. Brash, loudmouth, and foulmouthed, Himiko becomes a rather impetuous individual, while still having the same morals and kindness, could and would be described as cruel, bad or irritated.
It was a good thing that doesn't happen much in Academy City, and most would know her to be the only shrine maiden in a small shrine in a corner of the city.
Description: It is a system often needing specific arrangements of certain items to activate their magical effects. For instance a simple square of four(less or more depending on the size of the boundary) paper talismans could be used to create a boundary to invigorate anyone the caster targets as long as they are within it, or a small table, a cup of sake and a two candles could be used to hold a seance. Calling upon the dead, or even kami to talk to was normal for her. Even the future can be divined through various methods, though almost all were time consuming methods. More direct methods would just be throwing a paper talisman that explodes, or sweeping a gohei around to dispell negative energy.
Personality: Often lax and unconcerned where his own well being is concerned but overprotective of his little sister, Adrian is about as relaxed the rest of the time as a person could really be. Stressful situations do nothing to hinder his genuine good cheer and optimism but does have a tendency to come off as uncaring or cold despite his disposition, often making light of tragedy with an ill-timed joke or comment.
Has a bad habit of becoming an insect-humanoid and haunting his own home. Specifically his sister and her friends, especially the male friends.
Personality:
An absolutely self-centered, self-assured individual. While not even necessarily meaning to be arrogant or superior, itâs a natural line of thought thatâs central to him. His existence and self could be said to be a filter that his thoughts start on.
Perhaps it could be best said that he believes that he has the ability to effect the world, and that for better or worse, his life, and the events around him hold a relation to his own actions. One who is a master of his own destiny, and is in turn supported by it.
Proud, he holds himself up to a self-set standard, and to the responsibilities of his (overinflated) position. The eldest male, and therefore heir to his prestigious family. Supported and encouraged to go to the famous Academy City (so the unsuited failure could be gone for a while), he lives a life full of blessings and fortunes to live up to his family name and status.
Ah, if only if theyâd raise his level. Someone like him canât be a 0!
With the feelings of a not understood genius carrying the secret knowledge of, and crusade against those who wield magic due to his sister (and unknowingly the rest of his family.) It could be said that his petty vengeance is the cornerstone to making him feel extra-special instead of merely gifted.

It is this personal complex that makes him seem arrogant to most, though he doesnât mean anything by his actions. Self centered Senki feels the need to be special and that often conflicts with others who perceive this need as mall intent on his part.
Personality: Young, naive, and easily impressionable. A lifetime isolated from modern society has left him clueless as to how the âreal worldâ works and is as such completely oblivious to things such as the current war between magic and science. Though he desires autonomy, he is still just a child, and thus clings fervently to nearly anyone.
