So a few days ago in the middle of the night, I was lying down in bed and being my usual unproductive self. But then an idea struck in my pea-sized brain: "what if using superpowers... was illegal... and there's a huge ass war over it? :bigthonk:" And so I present to you my site idea: The Devil's Knock: where superpowers are illegal. The Devil's Knock is going to be based around the inFamous series. What's inFamous, you may ask? In just a few words, it's a video game/comic series and it's basically where humans have this gene that grants them superpowers and are feared, hunted down, plastered as criminals, etc. That's basically the site's direction. Of course, I'll be having my own twist on the concept. I don't wanna spoil too much of what I have in store, but I will spare some site details: - First and foremost, animanga fcs on Jcink. - The setting will be in a futuristic city where flying cars, androids and teleportation is a thing. Y'know, the typical futuristic stuff. - This "gene", unlike in the inFamous series where the origins are unknown, is a result from a company that is responsible for all the high tech stuff the city has. They wanted to aim for something higher than just advanced techs: immortality. It was more or less of a challenge to see how far their technology could take them to something as extreme as achieving immortality. Essentially, their ego were also a key factor of this. Then BOOM: the gene mutates superpowers in some humans instead. - Speaking of the gene, it can also alter people's appearances; paler skin, sharper teeth, pointy ears, etc. Why? Who knows. At least you now have a reason to use someone with animal ears. - There will be five to seven factions to join: government, military (this depends on whether or not I'd want the military and government to be one faction all together), group that is against humans, group that is against the superpowered, a group that supports anarchy to take opportunity of the war between humans and the superpowered, a group that supports equality among humans and superpowered, the science company, and then civilians. - There will be three races available to play: humans, superpowered, and, because it's the future, androids/cyborgs. However, androids/cyborgs will be restricted to the government/military for now. - The superpowered - IF I do decide to make the gene give people elemental powers, here's are all the main elements people can have: water, air, fire, earth, lightning, light, and dark. Then there'll be sub abilities people can use that are related to their main elements, like ice with water, heat with fire, plasma/energy with lightning, etc. It'd be like the gene essentially evolving to give them those sub abilities. However, the idea of sub abilities will still be around even if I don't want the gene to give people just elemental powers. - The superpowered will have these special shock collar devices strapped to their necks at all times that prevent them from using their powers. If they try to use their powers, they'll get shocked that'll even bypass someone who has lightning immunity. #technologyisgreat. They are not to be taken off while in public; doing so will result prison time or worse. The government isn't so bad as they make it out to be. - Humans will start out with weapons to help defend themselves (though it's an option to start with weapons, but there will be a slot for you to buy it for weapons). Superpowered don't get weapons because, well, they don't deserve it. - Finna be a lotta drama and angst. Soooooooo, I'm pretty sure I spoiled a lotta stuff lmao But that's pretty much all I have to spare for now. I might make a Discord server for those interested and post updates there (but will still post updates here too), so if you're interested or want to help out, lmk~ Other than that, any feedback, interest, or questions are welcomed! |
