on other notes, slight vigilante au ramblings.
I like the thought of Yoon and Kaya being a enemies/rivals to friends.
This is also why I'm not 100% set on the powers I want to give them, because I want them to balance each other out, but also have the opportunity to be fierce rivals when they meet. And, because of the nature of the undercover vigilante shtick, I really like the idea of Kaya breaking Yoon's arm or something. Or maybe it's the other way around. And then they get to class and one of them has their arm in a sling and they just. stare. at each other. and slowly start to put the pieces together.
I think they'd fight about it before reconciling and teaming up??? Fun thoughts, fun fun thoughts lol.
I also don't know what I want to do with the vigilante team system and govt just yet. Just because the society I'm working with is definitely not an all out "you can be a hero" kind of place---much of my idea hinges on the fact that it's taboo to use any supernatural abilities out in public, regardless of the intent behind your actions. Simply because, while not relatively new, it's fairly uncommon and considered dangerous. Kind of like MHA in the sense that you can need a permit to use your abilities, but it's an expensive and lengthy process because it's so rare. So not exactly a marvel or DC kind of vibe either. Point is, it's hard to find others who use their powers for not totally evil and selfish reasons, and I'm not sure a public, positive/good organization would exist---and if it does, it's likely solely to contain those with powers. There are definitely inner circles, but I imagine they're very tight-knit (this is where the five tribes would theoretically come in).
Also Yona is partially adopted? Hiryuu is her bio grandfather and takes care of her when her parents die when she's a baby? Hiryuu is kind of a big deal and people want his head on a silver platter, Il and Kashi get caught up in the fray. Yuhon and Il are his sons, though Yuhon is somewhat estranged. Things happen in Yona's family that are vital to the plot, but after careful consideration, I don't want Yona at the center of it all. She gets more attention in the sense that her past and her identity as Hiryuu's granddaughter gives her street cred and puts a target on her back, but I don't want her to be the solution anymore. I'm keeping some elements of her character arc in canon, learning to fight on her own and learning to survive, but in this case, Hiryuu has long-since been preparing her for the real world. She's never truly been in it, but she's aware of the problems in society. (Hiryuu runs an underground orphanage for kids with powers, which is where Yona grows up and where she meets Hak for the first time. She's very young, and he's adopted by Mundok early on, so she doesn't really remember him until they meet again in elementary school.)
Despite the estrangement, Yuhon and Hiryuu meet for business things? Which is how Soo-Won and Yona meet. Hiryuu makes the effort to get them acquainted since they're cousins. (No crushing on soo-won in this au btw.)
also after much thought i've realized zeno's power is basically solar-powered steroids. i digress.
anyways. These are all subject to change, and i'm just brainstorming lol
