The knack seems to work. Is it something like gossipping? Or actually know things about people?

The character sheets all seem fine to me. One last step remains to flesh out the characters and then I'd plan to post an opening post to get the adventures kicked off.
This last step is designed to learn new, interesting things about each other's and your own character.
I'd like everyone to answer one question for each other character.
Decide if your relationship with them is possitive, negative or if you don't know them very well.
Then roll 1D20 on the list below and answer the question. (Unckeck the reroll aces box).
Your answers are how your character feels about something. Especially with negative or unknown relationships, this might not always be true. But it is what your character feels or thinks for a certain character. A good example of this is what Qralloq already wrote about Abigail.
The rumor about her father being abusive and that's why she came here with her mother, is troubling. The truth isn't as exciting, but somehow just as hurtful.
You might answer a questing, thinking certain things about her father. But that doesn't mean that it is actually true.
1. Why do you feel forever indebted to this character?
2. What do you secretly admire about this character?
3. What great kindness did this character do for you that they did without thinking about it—but that meant the world to you?

-Ethan Pryce: positive relationship
19. You’ve been in awe of this character since you met them. How did they make such a strong first impression?
The first time Ben saw Ethan, he was climbing a tree moving with the grace and agility of some jungle cat. He seemed to be at one with nature, to know its secrets, and in Ben's eyes he embodies some sort of cool adventure hero, gazing at the horizon, solitary but heroic. He doesn't seem to be bothered by others' judgement, as if he knew something that they don't. When Ethan stays silent in one of his magic secluded spots, Ben knows he is listening to secrets only he can hear. Ethan is just how Benbo would like to be.
-Abigail Longwaters : neutral relationship
17. What scandal in the town was this character involved with?
Abigail has not been in town long. Benbo, like all kids in school, has noticed her, but she seems to keep to herself, like she is on a different planet. She was once caught sketching during lesson and one of the teachers made a big fuss of her gory drawings, showing them to the class and saying that that was exactly the kind of thing that leads to a life of trouble. This fueled the rumor mill about Abigail, with gossip ranging from I bet she has multiple personalities to she's definitely in a satanic cult...
Benbo thought the drawings were cool, and the teacher was rude.
-Zane Brooks: positive relationship
13. What about this character makes you so happy?
Kids like Zane - popular, good-looking, laid-back and effortlessly cool - would normally give the likes of Ben a wide berth. The fact that Zane even noticed him for his jokes and funny stunts is, in Ben's view, one of the biggest victories in the history of mankind. The fact that a cool kid like Zane finds him funny is amazing, but the fact that they started doing a comedy routine together is just unbelievable. Zane is his unexpected in-point to the popular kids in school. Benbo enjoys some popularity by proxy, next to him: like a satellite glowing from the reflected light of a nearby bright star.
-Kimmy: positive relationship
10. What are you sacrificing to protect this character, and why are you so willing to make that sacrifice?
Well, Kimberly is just... perfect and gorgeous to Benbo's eyes. She's pretty, smart, and amazing at sports. He goes all tongue-tied around her and, to his friends' hilarity, turns various shades of deep red. He is developing a proper crush on her, but knows she is way out of his league. Heck, Benbo isn't even in any league!
But should anyone offend her or hurt her, Benbo would go berserk and charge them like a rhino! (he'd sacrifice personal safety/fear of getting hurt)

I know this might sound a little naff, but I see Zane as generally liking people (as well having an unfounded belief that everyone likes him). So I'm going all positive.
Abigail (11) You often feel the need to stand up for this character. Why are you willing to go so far for them?
Zane really likes Abigail's art. It's like some acid-fueled album cover from the best psychedelic band that he's never heard of.
That, and the fact that she's a new kid (and that must be hard), and he needed new project, means that he's totally committed (as much as he ever is) to making sure that nobody dumps on Abigail.
Benbo (12) What bond do you share with this character that can never be broken?
Benbo and Zane have been unlikely friends since elementary school. They haven't always been best friends. Over the years they've gravitated in and out of each other's social circles, but they both share the same love of vintage comedy: Marx Brothers, Abbot and Costello, Three Stooges.
Zane and Benbo know all the routines off by heart. When they're doing a bit, they're totally in sync.
Ethan (14) What tremendous act of bravery did you see this character do?
There was this field trip into the forests where the kids came across a huge feral dog mauling a racoon. Ethan just stared down that dog, cool as can be, drove it off, and then took the racoon to the ranger's station.
The school myth is that it was totally a wolf
Kimmy (17) What aspect of this character’s personality do you try to use as a model for your own?
Kimmy's commitment to training is something that Zane really admires. She always seems to be trying to go faster, higher, stronger. and has inspired him to try and work at some things.
The fact that Zane hasn't had much success at being committed or working hard just makes Kimmy all the more impressive.
There's some really nice food for thought here!

I'm going with 'Positive' relationship with Benbo and Kimmy, and 'Unknown' for Zane and Abigail
Abigail (20): You know that this character is interested in getting to know you. How did you find that out?
Ethan feels a sort of inexplicable kinship with Abigail. Part because the two of them aren’t the most outgoing of people, part because he empathizes with whatever hardship she was going through (if the rumors about her had any kernel of truth in them). He nonetheless respects her wishes to keep to herself, even when he started to suspect she had a fleeting interest in getting to know him better after their eyes met during class. He put off walking up to her and striking a conversation until he could think of something meaningful to say, so for now, he settles for a gentle nod and a thin smile whenever he sees her at school.
Benbo (18) When did you first realize that you loved this character—either platonically or romantically?
Though he never expressed it in words, Ethan considers Benbo a dear friend. He puts a smile on his face, and he can’t remember a single time when he didn’t feel at ease in his company, but he only realized how much he missed the endless chatter and string of impressions when Benbo was away most of the summer vacation, traveling with his family.
Kimmy (20) Why do you treasure a seemingly valueless item this character once gave you?
Ethan still hangs on to the ticket stub from the b-movie he and Kimmy watched last year. It was a horror flick wildly inappropriate for their age, and they would have been rightfully turned away from the theatre had Kimmy not managed to convince the long-haired teen behind the glass to let them in. They were grossed out by the movie for the most part, and some of the more egregious scenes had them howling with laughter. But the couple of jump-scares in which their hands briefly clasped together is what had his heart fluttering.
The two have been slowly drifting apart over the last year. Kimmy is moving in a different social circle these days post her glow-up, and Ethan is confused about the way his feelings about her have changed. He is more distant and reserved toward her than usual, but he still hangs on to that ticket stub, and to the memory of when he started seeing her as more than just one of the guys.
Zane (14) Why are so many townspeople afraid of this character?
Zane is easygoing and friendly - there is no reason for anyone to be afraid of him. His father, though, is a different story altogether. Robert Brooks owns several properties in town and wields power with ruthless efficiency. He has the same charming smile as Zane, but behind it lies a heart of stone; he exploits his workers, cuts corners on safety, and manipulates local politics to stifle competition - all to grow his own personal wealth. Any who dare oppose him find themselves facing ruin. His son is therefore given lots of headway. It's not like Zane to throw his father's name around when he doesn't get his way, but one never knows if he will let something slip during dinner. Best to stay on his good side.
Abigail (20): You know that this character is interested in getting to know you. How did you find that out?

Kimmy gets on with most people, but Abigail and Benbo are probably a little off her radar - Positive with Ethan and Zane, Neutral for Abigail and Benbo
Ethan (11): You often feel the need to stand up for this character. Why are you willing to go so far for them?
Kimmy put a bit of distance between them less because they were growing apart and moving in different circles, but because she thinks she likes him, and it scares her. She only wanted a little distance to work herself out but now it seems a little unreachable to reconcile, and every time she tries to make a bridge she falls back into just brushing him off.
Regardless though, if he were ever in trouble or even asked her for help she'd be there in a moment
Zane (4): What part of this character’s personality do you realize is exceptional that they do not?
Zane is, or seems to be unflappable - nothing seems to shake him, he's always just so chill and unconcerned. Kimmy tries to be like that, but she struggles, just sitting and relaxing is alien to her.
Abigail (9): Why are you going out of your way to get to know this character?
Abigail is kinda fascinating, she seems to go out of her way to push people away. There has to be a reason why? Is it the rumoured abuse - in which case she could use a friend, or is it something else? Plus Kimmy has a secret fondness of schlocky b-movies and loves her art...
Benbo (14): Why are so many townspeople afraid of this character?
While Benbo seems kinda helpless and like he wouldn't harm anyone, Kimmy remembers last year, a boy Kevin, was hassling her and Ben stepped in and stood up for her. Not physically, but turned his normally innocuous wisecracks picking on all Kev's flaws.
I mean, it didn't end well, Kev took a swing at Ben and left him with a black eye before storming off, but he never lived it down either. Since then a lot of kids have given him a level of wariness - though Kimmy not's sure if Benbo's even noticed.

I mean, it didn't end well, Kev took a swing at Ben and left him with a black eye before storming off, but he never lived it down either. Since then a lot of kids have given him a level of wariness - though Kimmy not's sure if Benbo's even noticed.

Maybe just like there are those who enjoy his jokes and funny voices, there are also many that find them awful? Oh no, here comes that cringe factory...
Or, despite the comic relief he provides, he is still a pretty unpopular person to have around, one that would drop your hard-earned street cred instantly.I can't be seen hanging out with that loser...

#4 What charming habit is this character known for throughout the town?
Ben every morning in the way to school stops and sweeps the front stoop of this fragile old man. Somehow the leaves of his trees are always taking, like he planted differently species on purpose that way. It's strange, incongruous. It's not like they talk, or money changes hands. Ben just stops, takes the broom and sweeps the steps. It's a touching kindness everyone knows about.
Ethan, negative
#18 How did this character betray you the last time you confided in them?
After she approached Ethan one day early on in the school semester, asking him what kind of music he liked (shy and awkwardly), she heard him laughing with his friends. She didn't hear every word, but she heard enough to know that they were making fun of her. What he told them, she didn't know. And she doesn't care! They can suck rocks.
Kimmy, positive
#6 How did this character contribute to the best day of your life?
As she'd withdrawn into her mind, practicing her tricks and drawing (she was a horrible drawer, but it gave her something to do to keep busy), she'd all but given up on making friends in her school. But then one day, it was so weird, she found Kimmy and three of her friends had sat beside her at lunch. They just talked, not questions, but included her, and they chatted about TV and music and sports and anything. When Kimmy winked at her at the end of lunch hour, she knew the girl had done that on purpose. Abigail realized then that there was a chance, that she could belong here.
Zane, positive
#1 Why do you feel forever indebted to this character?
Nobody really notices Abigail, she had designed her life that way. Better to be ignored than teased or bullied, and these kids would be merciless if they knew the truth, or where she had come from. But it was Zane that saw to the heart of the matter, of her facade. He'd given her a flier for the talent show to be held at the end of the year, and said, "Your magic is really good, you know. Show everyone who you are." The best part, he'd said it in front of the whole class. She'd replayed those words over and over in her head, not thinking of the witty comeback, but just hearing them.

I've messed a little with Zane.
I thought has a knack for getting information from people is a little more on point for the game. It's clearer when it can be invoked (when he's trying to get information from someone).
Also, his flaw is now Self-centred. That just felt more in line with the character.

I love all releationships. There are some interesting ones two work on with for sure.
@dunderklumpen
You can do it either way you like.
Zane could have a knack for getting information from people, like convincing them to share information, or just let them tell. That'd be Charm related.
Or Zane could have a knack for knowing random facts about people. That'd be brain related.
I agree the first one is easier to invoke.
I think we're all set now though. I shall post up the first post of the game.
