Or, in the case of your first oc's semblance: something or someone trying too hard to be cool, almost to a point where it's ridiculous and immature.

Is there a particular reason that their backstories are dark and sad? Does it serve a narrative purpose within the story you want to tell, or are the backstories just dark for the sake of being dark?

Your writing needs a lot of work before it's going to be anywhere near decent. I would recommend that you avoid anything dark and gritty for now, because you've already fallen into the trap of making everything comically edgy. Learn the basics of good storytelling first.

Finally: Dude...punctuation. If you really want to be writing stories, your punctuation (or lack thereof) needs some serious work.
