In my previous post I mentioned that I wanted to do some super powered stories. Let’s call this so-called-universe SUPER Powers are Overrated, or #SPAO for short. The premise of this universe is that everyone in the world has a power, but you have to know exactly what your power is to use it. The reason for the name is because not everyone’s power is “super.” Super, in this case, is interchangeable with mainstream. Some powers are much easier to figure out because they are mainstream, like flying or telekinesis, but the chance of having a mainstream power is quite rare. Majority of the world hasn’t figured out what their powers are because they are usually random and useless, but people make do with them anyways. Powers are cool, but SUPER powers are overrated.

How did this come to be?

In a way, I’m always trying out different kinds of hand techniques and motions, and trying to channel my energy in different ways in case I actually do have some sort of super ability. I can tell you that I have not discovered one yet! I’ve always wanted to write stories about this, and majority of the shows I watch have powered people (every anime I watch, anything by Marvel or DC, a bit of my Netflix shows). Hopefully mine are an interesting read, but aren’t too similar to shows.

I forgot to mention that I’ll probably write about some people who haven’t figured out what their powers are. Some people will probably have multiple stories too.

 I think I’m starting to feel it in my bones.
