Character development

Sorcerer - They would slowly discover their ability, initially by being able to do simple cantrips by just thinking or small motions with their hands. A strange word would sometimes just pop into their head, and they'd whisper it without even realizing it. Shortly after they start out on the journeymanship, the sorcerer realizes they can do more powerful spells, but they realize that the more powerful the spell the longer it takes to figure it out, and the more practice it takes before they can make it work like they imagine it should.

Ranger - They've hunted all their life practically and know their way around the woods. Has been on hunting forays alone for the last couple years, each time daring to venture farther and farther if he wished. Part of their journey to adulthood is to learn to trust in others. They have always had to rely on mostly themselves to do what needed to be done. Now they have to realize that you can not do everything. Another obstacle that she must overcome is making the guys realize that she does know what she's doing when it comes to the wilderness. She is quite knowledgeable for her age when it comes to surviving in the woods.

Fighter - muscular, slightly above average intelligence, but for the most part very shy. Part of his journey to adulthood is learning to go for what he believes in, to not shy away if it's something that he really believes needs to be done. Before it's over with, they tend to be the leadership of the party, because he thinks wisely before running into battle. If he came to a negotiation before a battle, if he felt he was not a significantly good at negotiating, he would bring someone who would be.

Cleric - a bit ditzy, but essentially they have a good heart. They have to learn that there may be a time for recreation, but if there are important matters at hand, recreation must be placed firmly on hold. Not enough to not enjoy friends and good company, but knowing how to place limits on recreation when there is need to.
