Stupid Max says that blogs about music 'aren't real blogs'... What an ass-hat. Ah well I kinda don't have anything else left to talk about so I might fall back on story and writing topics. Now my cousin (Jammels) actually "writes" and this is a dedication I do not share and frankly find a little absurd. I mean come on. The point of great ideas is to have them, vow to do them, then get bored and pretend they never existed. I excel at this but Jamie seems to have really cocked up the second two and keeps on churning out "decent novels"and "well written stories". I mean come on. If he's not going to play the game properly then he shouldn't play at all.
Anyway since I excel at all THREE and figured I might whack another part of the rule on here. This will involve me putting up ideas here so you can bask in its glory and fawn over it's magnificence. I've had a couple over the years and a few that I even started writing. These ones got the point of a lot of detail and frankly would be a pain in the ass to post all of it. Suffice to say they were pretty hot stuff and they may or may not have been able to cure cancer. Also they could. But that's for another day. This one is kind of sci-fi so don't hate me from the beginning, although it should be noted I don't actually "like" science-fiction much, if at all really, with the exception of Doctor Who (which is hot shit) and the occasional book that wasn't written by a forty year old living in his parents basement, writing around his throbbing erection at every mention of the word "laser" and "photon setting".
Anyway onto plot and shit.
Largely set in an alternate universe. Same basic weapons and technology with the exception of much larger focus on space travel and whatnot. Now I don't know much about evolution but if I know anything its that this is exactly how it works. Spontaneous evolution in the form of various "powers" and mutations.
Now these powers aren't those that are normally used. There is very little that could be called "helpful"in battle, learning or most anything else. They take the form of being able to store mild electrical currents, the ability to control one's own body heat within about 10 degrees Celsius (too much or little and you start losing brain cells) and so on and so forth. These mutations are held from birth, and can not (at this stage) be replicated or given to other people.
The general public has no idea that these mutations exist. They go about there daily lives without the knowledge that around them, bull-shit evolution is taking place. However, the government is very much aware. As of the moment I haven't decided yet but I am leaning towards a unified earth government (complete with common language and writing style). Anyway, the government has enacted "Rule 34" which allows them to hold any person with what are deemed odd physical, mental, spiritual or any other form of traits for an amount of time required. This rule was passed under the pretence of locking down on alien's who live amongst humans. It was passed with very little complaint and is now used by the government to secure any children, or adults, who show these mutations.
The whole world and power has a lot more information that can go into it but I'll spend some time on characters now and if I ever feel like it I'll do a follow up blog.
The novel would follow a group of people who banded together after the destruction of earth (oh yeah that happens. Did I not mention that? sorry). These people would largely come from the Institution for Advanced Human Development. IE mutants. As far as specific characters the main is an as of yet unnamed male who possesses the power of mild regeneration. This is not the kind of regenaration that allows oneself to jump off buildings or ram pike's up their ass. In fact it wouldn't help noticeably with a paper cut. It only displays itself in an almost double rate of healing from physical wounds.
This character (who we can call John to make this easier) enters the Institution late, around early 20's. This is because most pickups are from doctor's who notice something peculiar and report it in a medical journal or something that gets picked up by the government agents in place to watch for this. John, since he has rapid healing, rarely had to see a doctor. When he did there was nothing noticeable and he was bandaged up and, when it came up he was healed. Technically he had healed a good few days prior to the bandage coming off but the doctor's simply acknowledged the healthy limb and didn't bother checking up on him.
Another important character is kid with the ability to camouflage himself. The action takes approximately fifteen minutes to complete and does nothing spectacular. The child is still clearly seen, only he seems to be covered in paint of whatever colour he is standing in front of. This child (Ben) has been here since around birth. His parents realized there was something odd and brought him to the doctor. The doctor was thrilled with the discovery and promptly wrote a paper that was caught by agents of the government and Ben was taken. Ben has lived at the institution all his life and serves as a guide to John during his stay.
Anyway that's it for now I have other loose ideas (chick with scales etc.) but nothing solid. Truth be told I only had this idea today on my walk to school and then gave it a bit of mass on the walk back.
Anyway TOODLES!
Wait, is their and old man in a whell chair, and magnetic powers cause if so, then i think your on to a winner! (X-men, if you were dumbi enough not to get it)
ReplyDeletethere's an old man on a unicycle. X-men circus aaaaaaaaaaawww yeeeeeeah.
ReplyDeleteAlsoo I'm not to worried about crossing over their territory since this is about governments stealing children with mild (if interesting) mutations and torturing them to see how they tick then trying to re-engineer their DNA to understand how they work.
Also the earth dies after like three chapters so again. No worries.
