I have been talking with Laburnum. I've come up with a universe idea. I'm still fleshing things out in my head. It is somewhat inspired by the upside magic book, Ratman manga (long time ago i read it), a dash of harry potter, School of Good and Evil, and some X-men, and a lot of Discworld.

Basically, the universe does have powers,, aka, superhero like. At the moment, the current idea is that they do run in families, and there are external and internal powered powers, so some hard fact there. The idea is that most powers are regulated for use in jobs. Like, imagine taxi drivers, or delivery people with phasing powers. Telekinesis for those handling chemicals.

There are at the moment in my head, 3 schools, Hero School, Dark Hero School and Villain School. The schools are influenced by the Discworld Guilds, so villain students do have a percentage of jobs they need to do. Of course, also have to pay taxes and Social security for minions and the like.

At the moment, our Protagonist, is Verminious, a girl enrolled at the villain school after her audition at hero school ended with her kicking a guy somewhere delicate. Her power is the ability to communicate with vermin. As she put it, "They only let me talk to cute animals."
"Or super-dramatic ones for the Dark Heroes. Everyone does tigers, I want rats."
Those lines were from Laburnum.

I was thinking that I would do it more slice of life story. I was also thinking of throwing out hero, dark hero and villain applications later here ala OFU style.

The three Schools are considered jobs, and like civic duties as well. I am curious what people think, and if anyone is willing to beta.
