Super fem storyline idea.
I was wondering if anyone would mind giving me a few thoughts on a basic concept I came up with. Perhaps someone could try writing a story with it as the base or maybe some people would just like to talk about it and develop the idea some more.
Here it is incase anyone cares to chat storyline:
A government conducted some experiments to genetically enhance some people. The majority of the test subjects died but a few lives, however their cells seem to revert to their original human state. The project is deemed a failure as the cells seem unwilling to adapt to the enhancements and the people are released.
A few years down the line and some of those survivors who may or may not realize what was done to them have children. One of the women die during child birth and the father takes the child as his own. Shortly after he learns that the government is searching for certain people including his lover.
Due to knew laws and the government learning about the children they have begun hunting the kids down and either killing them or taking them away. Most believe the government is just killing them as they talk about how the children are mutated and dangerous.
The father doesn’t know exactly what is going on but he does know that his lover was one of those people and that is daughters are one of the supposed mutants. However, he can’t bring himself to give over his baby and thus he flees with her.

Wow. Sounds like Stephen King's "Firestarter." Except there it was both parents.

I’d want to focus on the fact that she enjoys her power and wants to use it. Even to the point that she gets upset with society as a whole from time to time for forcing her to hide it.

As she would. She should also, from time to time, "lash out" at "society". Spectacularly, of course.I?d want to focus on the fact that she enjoys her power and wants to use it. Even to the point that she gets upset with society as a whole from time to time for forcing her to hide it.
All this "fire-starter" talk is making think of The Prodigy ("I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter")
Happiest, I take it the powers don't emerge/develop until the child matures? I like the idea that the authorities are looking for her, but by the time they find her (or she makes herself known to them by public display of powers) it's far too late for them to do anything about (or to!) her
Btw, shouldn't this thread be in the "Story Requests/Suggestions" forum? Maybe Admin can move it?

I can’t say how others would handle it but I would probably have her powers beginning to manifest even at birth. Though she wouldn’t be one hundred times stronger then normal, at birth she would at most be 25% so it wouldn’t be enough for anyone to really notice. Over time her strength would become far greater.
One complication I would like to see her deal with or write about her dealing with is staying hidden. I would probably complicate matters by having her body produce more electrical energy then normal so that her eyes seemed to glow. I would also be inclined to make them a natural color.
As she grew more powerful these features would become more obvious which could complicate matters when people notices she always wore tented sun glasses. This could even lead to confrontations with such authority figures as teachers.

Happiest in Shadows, Conceptfan: I hope this new "Story Ideas and Discussion" forum is an OK compromise.I don’t really know what forum it belongs in since it isn’t purely a request or suggestion. It is actually open up to discussion as far as ideas go. Anyone can use it for a base after all.
