User blog:Scottish-Terror/Demigod Academy

you know I was thinking, this wiki's talked about reboots and so on but what if we try for something different?

a means to get new stories and character interactions without messing around with incompleted lore.. have a somewhat contained "mini-verse" within the larger multiverse.

Demigod Academy could be a place young (teens to early adults) superhumans (magic, alien, metahuman etc) both live and learn, set up as a means to try and combat the anti-superhuman hysteria as well as give superhuman youths a chance to use their abilities to better society rather than become a never-ending wave of criminals / vigilantes.

Some students may be the offspring / relatives of mainstream cast (or alternate universe pairings) - others could be new creations and some still can be younger "alternate universe" versions of mainstream cast : both heroes and villains.

The conflicts are less about saving the world or universe but more along the lines of growing up and finding a place (alongside the weirdness of having an Omniversal Portal right under said school, allowing a constant flow of new students from across any alternate reality imaginable).

The idea has been explored in Villains Academy but I think we can do this without it being entirely set in an "alternate universe" - it can be part of our mainstream universe and allow us to focus on a smaller setting, which we can work on together to better scale storytelling and expand on our collecctive lore as and when required.

To further aid the process Demigod Academy will have a rotation in terms of storytelling, with each author getting a chance to write a story (which can be self-contained, part of a plot or even (with permission) sequels / homages to other stories) .. this would allow a truly shared universe.

(how this would work in practice is once one story is complete a new author is voted to make the next story and so on..)
