hmm, so i was actually just gonna come back here and have some thoughts. so, i've not decided on a name for apocalypse guy yet, but i'm thinking perhaps the land that your girl lives on is/was either his land in the past or in an alternate universe? regardless, plot may center around people from either the past or the au showing up for some reason, and his sister is lost in the timeloop or whatever?? and mayhaps it's sorta a friends to lovers situation where he's terribly fond of her and using her as a replacement for his twin sister but they're way closer and different than that? idk..similarly, let's talk powers. more for this one than the academy one, although if you're having ideas for that too i'd love to know. what if whatever powers she inherited are somehow linked to his? and he's, in some way, the magic answer for everyone's powers, like he's immune to them all? for example, if she couldn't feel pain but couldn't feel touch either, she can feel his touch because he's the antidote or whatever, he's immune to everyone's magic?
this all works for me! i definitely love the idea of my girl being some sort of reel for him, and also taking a protective stance on her. i think it could be interesting that he tracks them to what could be his former land, or current land if you will in his universe, and something she inherited is the center of it all? if that's the case, then i think maybe everyone else has unveiled some sort of power except for her (minus the immortality thing of course), leading her to think that maybe she wasn't "chosen". i think there could be a point of like "me or your sister" too considering he's not from that universe. if we'd want to explore that, of course. also, would the powers be "magical" or more like mutations? like enhanced senses and such?
i'm not exactly sure on powers for the apocalypse plot, and i'll definitely see what you do for the academy one to get some ideas :) id assume for that one it would be all magic, but if you have other ideas, let me know! if that's the case, i might make my boy for the academy some sort of "bringer of life". like he can build from what's already there in nature, some tonics(?) could enhance this and make him develop from the ground up but only for short periods of time, and he would have a deep connection with animals. i kind of like the idea of him being a "peacekeeer" if you will for the ecosystem if that's alright with you!
ill start on my characters asap! i'll at least get a decent outline started for both hopefully by tomorrow :) i work 40 hours a week, from 7am-3:30, so hopefully im done before then! we can definitely continue plotting :3
