**Isaac Beamer** is a student at Foxfield High School, prospective artist and titular character of the story.

## Appearance

Isaac is a sixteen year old boy of average height with hazel eyes and freckles. He has medium length blonde hair, which is usually tied into a messy ponytail. In his standard reference, he is wearing a white T-shirt with checkers, gray flannel with star pins, black jeans and white sneakers. He is usually seen carrying a shoulder bag, likely for his sketchbook.

## Personality

Isaac is an apathetic person, preferring to mainly keep to himself and his art, and is described as "run-of-the-mill shut-in artist" in the story's summary. He is notably sarcastic, and has a knack for getting on people's nerves on purpose and often behaves in a mean-spirited way, particularly towards people he does not have a high opinion of. His decision-making is becoming noticeably more and more erratic, inspired by a desire to find change in a lifestyle that he is bored with. Isaac didn't have any friends prior to meeting Chris and he was heavily implied to be a loner. It is also heavily implied that he might suffer from depression. It also seems as if he has issues with trust when it comes to relationships, or has an inability to maintain long-term relationships, as seen how Isaac reacted when Chris Jackson was getting close with Nevin Jovel and how Drew Jovel was interacting with Autumn Orielle.

## History

Isaac Beamer moved to Foxfield from an unknown location when he was around ten years old. Around this time, a boy who was presumably in the same fourth grade class as Isaac began bullying him. One day the bully stole Isaac's sketchbook and dumped ink all over one of his drawings, causing Isaac to snap and attempt to attack the bully, his ink manipulation powers awakening in the exchange.

Not much is known about his middle school years, but Isaac played soccer for six years prior to the events of the story before quitting after breaking his wrist in a game. It is unknown when he started playing, but he hadn't played soccer in a while before the events of Chapter 25 of season one.

Around the time Isaac started attending Foxfield High School, Edward Quinton and his team of cronies began picking on him up to the events of the first chapter of season one. Somewhere between his freshman year and his junior year, Isaac earned the nickname Ink from his peers, due to his introverted personality and his artistic skills.

Ever since Edward Quinton accused Isaac of having powers and revealed his own in Chapter 1, the two have had an ambiguous relationship. It started out as a truce that Edward and his gang would avoid harassing him, but their curiosity towards the unknown has caused them to repeatedly get caught in messes together in spite of their inability to get along. At the beginning of Season 2, they finally discussed the possibility of being on better terms with each other.

### Isaac's Powers

One of Isaac's powers is–specifically noted–to manipulate water-based art materials. As previously mentioned, Isaac discovered his first power when he was in elementary school. In a fit of blind rage, he attacked an unknown former bully with some ink that the other boy had poured onto his art.

His main power, however, is to give his drawings physical, three-dimensional form. They have been said to have a sheen to them, identifiable as not real if you look properly. Depending on the complexity of the drawing and its usability, the object may disappear sooner or later. Items like tools break after several uses and some items cannot be made to function. For example, Isaac cannot draw gasoline and have it work as gasoline, nor can he draw an electronic and have it hold a charge. Isaac cannot create life or basic intelligence with his drawings either. The drawings are also affected by the surface they are drawn on, having the same texture as the surface. Isaac found out about this power sometime in elementary school, but it has not been revealed how he discovered it.
