1D Superhuman School Group-Write

@ kit walker.
Its beautiful. I love it. I'll add it to the character post in a bit.

@ kit walker.
Lynn's power sounds so cool!

@ EmzyStilinski
@ the_truth_hurts
@ BringMeTheFuentes

So everyone already has their characters bio.

What's next to discuss?

Well, do we want the title to be the name of the school or something different? Rating?

I guess before we decide the title, maybe we should decide of the overall main plot and then, we decide the title based on our story line?

Like... will this story have any kind of actions in it? Maybe they're attack by some anti-mutants group or something? Or maybe there's someone bad among the students or something?

And... I don't mind about the rating.

@ charity_hope
Agreed on the rating ;) And thank you so much for your words on my character bios! And as far as going back to the past........we shall see x3

I think it would be helpful before we start tackling the plot to discuss the relationships (or lack thereof, if applicable) between the ten characters. So we know that Freya and Zayn become (or are already?) best friends, right?

And I really do think we have a lot of room to mix subtle/grounded story with sparse (or frequent?) action scenes... That'd be an opportunity to write in a villain or two, yeah? Anyone interested in talking Mutant Brotherhood type thing? It'd be interesting and powerful to see the group fight for each other and for the school.

Oh! And last thing - I'm not entirely clear, did we decide on the Stanton Academy for the Gifted? Was that the final verdict?

aaand

@ EmzyStilinski
Feels?! gah! lol that comment made me happy ^.^

@ kit walker.
And I totally love your bios! x3 Sorry, not sure how to reply without clicking directly from your post lol... Anyway but yeah! I think Lynn sounds fascinating. I'm curious what each power is? How many colors does her hair turn? :) And poor Louis :( Sounds like he's been through a lot.

@ BringMeTheFuentes

@ the_truth_hurts
Thank you! For her powers, I haven't really thought it all out yet, but hopefully I can soon.

@ charity_hope @ EmzyStilinski
Also, I had sort of an idea. Like I was thinking for each of us we start off a chapter with a piece of their life and then how they got into the school, you know? Like...say I start off writing the first chapter of the story. I would write a bit about Lynn's life then Louis and how they got there so the readers sort of have a general understanding of who these characters are all about and why they're in the school. Like did he or she go because they wanted to? Or their parents or someone close to them made them? You know? I dunno, just an idea I wanted to throw out there. /.\

@ charity_hope
I like that idea. Can Freya go briefly to the dark side?

@ kit walker.
Yeah I'm thinking that Freya has been at Stanton for quite some time, since she was about 8 or 9. I'm thinking her background is that when she was about three she had tantrums that could literally change the mood of the mood but when she was four she heard people's thoughts and it freaked her out. At five, her parents took her to a psychiatrist who said it was just the age until she was caught changing the emotions of her parents while they were fighting. Her parents brought in a specialist who was mutant and told them what she was. They tried to keep her his from the world until her dad couldn't handle keeping her cooped up and sent her away.

@ the_truth_hurts

Edit: Maybe Rating be R (for Freya's sake) but not NC17 unless someone wants to

@ the_truth_hurts
Yes! I agree. Let's discuss the relationship between the characters.

I like Stanton Academy for the Gifted. Wait! Is Stanton the person that founded the school?

@ EmzyStilinski
You still want Freya to be Zayn's BFF? Or future BFF? We should probably discuss their relationship more.

@ kit walker.
Yeah... I'm thinking that for Nuriko, her family send her to Stanton because they thought that it's some kind of correctional facility where they'll 'cure' her from her mutated DNA or something because they think she's a freak because of her ability (there are too many 'because' in one sentence ). And because she's always been shunt by her own family, when she goes to Stanton, Nuriko tries to do everything to fit in and desperately wants people to accept her. That's why she's an easy target for bullying.

As for Zayn... his family doesn't have any problems with his power. They just send him to the academy so that he can meet new people that are like him and they hope that he can make new friends and learn to be open to the outside world.

@ kit walker.
Of course! :3 I like your idea! I think it'd be important for each mutant's background to sort of be unraveled. Would we want to do this every once in a long while, or knock each character's initial background out in the first five (or ten) chapters?

And that brings me to my next question - 1) What POV are we doin'? 3rd lim, omn, or 1st? :) and 2) Are we doing one chapter that combines the story for each guy/girl, or each of us will write two chapters (one for him, one for her)?

Posting order anyone?

@ EmzyStilinski
Poor Freya :'( I hope we get to see her cope and overcome those things in this :) And the dark side... Honestly that would be really cool, and heroes who do their fair share of being run through the mill (makes me think of Jean Grey of the X-Men ((NOT HER TERRIBLE PORTRAYAL IN THE THIRD MOVIE BTW)) in the comics, she was overtaken by the Phoenix and was the most destructive of the evil mutants for a sudden, brief period, and then BAM she died and was reborn again as Jean. So people loved her even more after she went through that because she'd seen the dark and /chosen/ to be good..) So yeah! I think it would be super cool to see Freya fight the good fight and the bad fight and then stand back up and go back over to the good fight again x3 Also, it would be fascinating to see how Liam deals with that, and tries to get her back!

@ charity_hope
Is Stanton the founder? Who knows haha, I am genuinely not sure lol. I think it'd be interesting for him to be like this mysterious long-time founder who no one has ever seen, but apparently was the first mutant to speak up years and years previous... Eh? thoughts

I love the idea about Nuriko's parents thinking the academy is a facility to cure her in. it's really original :)

For Scar, I'm thinking that when she was 10 and discovered her power, it scared her and it would go haywire at times, causing her to suddenly fast forward and miss things. She would also get stuck with it stopped and struggle to unfreeze the people around her. It terrified her to know she was so different. Then, she tries to tell her parents, and they freak out - her dad was always angry, even abusive at times, and always resented having a family to be responsible for. He uses the outing of her as a mutant to pack up and leave. She and her mother and two younger sisters are left without anyone to bring in income.

I'm thinking also that Stanton gives some kind of small but helpful grant to mutants as an incentive for them to join the academy, and for this reason, after her mother received extensive ridicule for Scar's power, Scar made the decision for herself to go away. She was convinced that if she disappeared and let them alone, they would be better off, and she could send them the grant money that was meant for her own books, supplies, and clothing. She joined the Academy at 16 and has been there almost two years.

So, yeah, basically, she left home in the middle of the night and came to Stanton in secret in an effort to save her family from persecution and poverty.

Thoughts? :)

@ charity_hope
I'm thinking Zayn is the only one that Freya talks to because he's the only one who stuck around long enough to get to know her.

@ the_truth_hurts
A mysterious founder would be great and I love Scar's bg

@ EmzyStilinski
Yeah... and she's his only friend because she's the only one that's not put off by his silence.

And I agree with Annie. It will be all kind of interesting to see how those characters try to bring Freya back to their side. And maybe because of that, Zayn will finally step up and fight to get his best friend back and work together with Liam somehow?

@ the_truth_hurts
I like the idea of Stanton being a mysterious founder. Kinda made me think of the anime One Piece and in their current arc, there's this legendary gladiator that has won 1000 fights and they have statue of him and everything but everyone forgets about him because of the bad guy's power that turns him into a toy and alters everyone's memory and made people forget that he actually exists. That totally doesn't have anything to do with the story. But... by having this legendary mysterious founder, it makes him some kind of a symbol for the school strength or something.

And I also love the idea about Stanton giving funds to the students.

My plan for Nuriko is that... she realized her power since she's really young. And their family friend (who's actually a mutant but her family don't know that), tells her family about the academy and lying about it being a 'correcting facility' because they don't like to see how Nuriko's family treat her.

And I have an addition to Zayn. In addition to his regeneration ability, he actually can manipulate the cells in his body and other people's body and that's why he can heal himself and other people by renewing the cells in the body. He also can modify his own body by changing the cells arrangement in his body (example, growing extra pair of limbs or changing his height and stuff).

@ kit walker.
I agree about introducing the characters' backgrounds to the readers. But I'm afraid that if we all do the same thing for the first five (or ten chapters), it'll turn off the readers because of the lack of action and it'll drag the story too much and it'll get boring. Maybe we can go back and forth and like... explain their background little by little as the story progresses so it doesn't look like we're just dumping informations into our chapters.

I personally prefer writing in third person POV but I don't mind if you guys want to write in other POV. And I suggest we write our chapter in both our character's POV like, half the chapter about the girl and the other half about the boy.

And I don't mind which turn I get for the posting order.

@ the_truth_hurts
3rd POV would be great for me.

@ charity_hope
Yes! Zayn would be perfection with Freya. I can see their relationship now. It would Almost be like the two outcasted people are besties. I'm thinking that maybe he's not that silent around her (maybe he'll rant sometimes?)

I can go in any order though I prefer not last. If no one is comfortable with first, I'll go or second.
So do we like Rating R?

@ kit walker.
What's your order preference?

@ EmzyStilinski
Yeah... exactly. Maybe he only talks quite a lot with her. It's perfect.

@ EmzyStilinski
I'd prefer 3rd person more, simply because you explain more about not just one specific person's perspective but you can explain how someone else's reaction or feelings are; if you don't mind.

@ charity_hope
Yeah, I see your point! Better than just giving away everything. But like I mentioned before, rather than telling they're whole life story, I think it'd be nice to have at least a glimpse of their life before. That way as the story progresses on, the readers can see more and more of who the character really is. Ya know?

@ charity_hope
Yep!They'll be like us lol

@ kit walker.
Alright. 3rd person. Um guessing the rating is okay too

@ kit walker.
Yes... I get what you meant. That's what I was trying to say.
