Motivation is like a cloud. It looks like it's moving slowly from afar, obtainable— but reach close enough to grasp it and it's escaping far faster than you thought.

That existential crisis when you realize the awkwardness of the long moment between your birth and death.

No, Jedly. Shifter's post for this round is already up.
Fear and paranoia are bosom buddies spawned from unfamiliarity. So, is Alexander too paranoid? You already answered that he is in a place that is almost entirely alien to him. It's a natural human set of reactions to be wary of the unfamiliar, to fear the unknown, to loathe what is obscured by darkness. You already mentioned that he is psychic, which is fine in a confined environment, but absolutely mind bending (pun not intended) when suddenly thrust into a place with so many minds.
In short, Alexander would be overwhelmed, distracted, and justifiably paranoid. I think you're doing fine; heck, I think you could make him even more paranoid and off center. Within reasonable limits for the naivete of a child, of course

I always thought the point of the whole leaf thing was to highlight her dissatisfaction with her normalcy. Like, she's tired of being "that girl". So personally, I would be focusing on trying to develop her into a character that struggles to become special and matures as she goes along.
She's immature, petulant, rude, self-centered and weak. Most of all, Lovedaia is normal. She has no great powers, no terrifying past, no prophetic destiny that hinges upon her interaction, and this dissatisfies her, it's one of the reasons she's such a petulant child of a girl. She's unremarkable, and what she needs to learn most is that it's okay to be unremarkable, she needs to mature and develop into the Badass Normal that she could develop into.
And the first step on the road to being a badass is admitting that she's truly incompetent. It's not as hard to write as it might seem, and Lovedaia can turn out to be the character everyone relates to, everyone sympathizes with, and everyone cheers for the most.
Either way, that's how I felt about Lovedaia, and it's a question that I think you should ask yourself. That question being, "Lufu is normal in a sea of abnormal, is she okay with that?" Perhaps you can then also ask if her personality and disposition are how they are because she wishes to outwardly show her dissatisfaction with herself and jealousy of others by attempting to be unique while at the same time just being... rude.
; A ; Jedlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
I don't normally like to rush people, but pleaaaase. I feel starved from not having anything to write!

Yeah, my post'll be up tonight. I don't seem to have that much HW. Mah lawd, that's a bit of OOC chatter. I'll have to read it during my free, and catch up on the IC. Also gotta finish the book for school, "The Sun Also Rises"...

Personally, I wouldn't suggest giving your character a mental illness or any disorder of that sort. It feels a little too arbitrary, like you'd be putting it in just to try to make your character more 'interesting' and 'unique'. However, as Hanged said, if you feel as if you can pull it off reasonably well, please do go ahead. As you'd also be doing research prior to and in parallel with this character change, it seems you're fairly serious about it.
tl;dr tentative go ahead
Might I add that adding more "conditions" to the efficacy of the Necromancy would be of help, too. Things like "he'd only be able to be this good when ____ happens/____ is present". Uh... In general though, Hanged, perhaps the line of thinking that "geniuses can happen" may be appropriate. Seb might just have had the extraordinary luck of just... grasping such a complex spellcraft.
Perhaps he's a savant, though I doubt it. Athan did mention that he's not very good when he doesn't have his charms, so I'm guessing that without those symbolic/magical items, he's on the novice or lower-intermediate tier.

TheHangedMan said Also, 15 is a bit young for even intermediate level Necromancy, even assuming he began practicing when he was still young (which is something that borders on illegal mind you) Either you lower his skill level or up his age and seniority, to explain his relative prowess.

Noooo D: ! Excidius!...
Well, you have to do what you feel is best. Still, it's really unfortnate to see you go like this. I was looking forward to our characters' interactions! Hmhm... Perhaps permission to use your character as an NPC?

Meanwhile, I have a lunch date that I'm leaving for in an hour. I don't know how long I'll be out, today!
Very well, then. I'll get chopping on my post after Danny's next set of actions.
Take your time! Though not too much time. Not like I can talk, though, I was a whole seven days late on my character sheet, lol.
No singular thing inspired this roleplay, nor did any one thing inspire the system of magic.
However, Type-Moon's Nasuverse does have quite a bit to do with Spellcraft and Magic, particularly Magecraft. I have a pretty long history with the universe as I've read the light novels, played the visual novels, watched the various anime and animated movies, and have been in a few roleplays involving it.
There is also a bit of Eastern mysticism involved, as well as classical alchemic sensibilities (Classical Elements of Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and Aether; etc).
The plot and setting appear to be entirely of HangedMan's imagination, though.
