[up][up] Maybe the POV charter is somebody who came out of this kinda unscathed, maybe he managed to develop a genuinely loving taboo romance and set his boss's favorite car on fire but he might be able to get his own life back to normal. Was I supped to say I was picturing this as a Black Comedy?

Don't you hate it when you don't want to double post but nobody says anything for days and you forget what you thought of?

Does this topic have a counterpart in Fan Fiction or may I just post it here?

A Super Hero School but with a twist: it turns out the the kids aren't really "mutants" or "superpowered". They are androids made to hunt down mutants and super-powered individuals. The main characters were (pardon the pun) "lost in character" as it were.

Well they undergo a Heel–Face Turn and want to help those being hunted - of course they are working uphill. Mutants and superheros see the "kids" as dangerous at best or suspect that they are being lured into a trap. Super villains just want to blast them or worse.

And the No Such Agency that created them really wants their property back...

A setting where people have access to powers that give them control over a given concept. Where sufficient use of their powers would make them gods of said concept. By which point their personality and memories are erased and their physical form becomes aethereal Humanoid Abominations that may or may not have humanity's best interests at heart and are fighting other gods with the same powers and thus the same concepts for supremacy. In the midst of it all are people trying to prevent new divinities form being "born" and keeping those powers in check. These are their stories.

A premise inspired by The Executioner And Her Way Of Life and arguably Puella Magi Madoka Magica that serves to deconstruct the ideas of apotheosis and godhood.

an Unwanted Harem where a guy with an Absurd Phobia of wishing becomes the master of at minimum 3 genies. A nice one, a Tsusanderie, and a stupid one maybe he gets a couple of more harem members that are not actually Genies but still grant wishes and one that tries to help him Rules Lawyer the genies.

Going back to my one with the comment this Quote from Ice Age: The Meltdown seems fitting especially if it is a Black Comedy like how I picture it.

  • Hero: We're gonna live!
  • [zoom out to see stuff on fire, The Apunkalypse outfits, In-progress Looting and Wario]
  • Hero: We're gonna die!

A punisher-like vigilante hunts down villains, not to kill them, but to forcefully convert them to normalcy through a unique form of mind-control/brainwashing. The heroes and society are put in a moral conundrum where they must ask themselves if the vigilante has a point and should they even stop said vigilante.

A courtroom drama where a lawyer finds a genie in a bottle. He immediately uses his first wish to free the genie (rather than make all his wishes un-fuck-with-able), then they sue the evil sorceror for wrongful imprisonment.


One serial killer kidnaps another. They start planning their games around each others.

No, they don't fall in love.

An Anime where the protagonist is a doctor/vet who has to treat all the anime heroes (and some villains) along with all the hybrid creatures.

Lovestruck everyman gives his catgirl wife something that makes her sick? Alien child living on Earth has the flu? The engineer who got her leg broken when her Giant Mecha took a bad tumble? The Old Master need to have his medical checkup and have that wart on his back looked at?

This doctor is the one they call.

How much of this premise work for a Alt-History Soulslike game?

"An airborne virus released in 1989 by the Russians during the Soviet–Afghan War infects millions of people worldwide, turning them into winged, gargoyle creatures. Modern technology is wiped out. As one of the unaffected humans, you must hunt the infected humans if you are to survive."

An Sci-fi Mystery where several kids end up in a mental link. With the focus initially being on the ramifications of them knowing each other's secrets and thoughts before shifting to them trying to find a way to not lose themselves as it threatens to fuse them into a Hive Mind. The Mystery part coming from them trying to find out where this mental link came from in the first place.
