Nyckaneh

Scope

The motivation behind building Nyckaneh

This world is an excuse to write stories about kids with superpowers, their families and the community that came together to protect them.

The goal of the project

I'm creating this world to have fun. I hope to entertain the readers with weird and silly stories about kids with superpowers.

Nyckaneh's Unique Selling point

In this world all humans have superpowers but only for a brief period of time between the age of five to nine years old. It's not possible to prevent the apparition of powers or recover them after they're are gone. This has happened for many generations now and it's the norm. This doesn't mean there is no conflict and tragedies ocurring still on the present day because of these powers.

Theme

Genre

This world's setting fits in the superhero genre.

Reader Experience

I plan to focus on describing one city. This means that a feeling of safety will be present sprinkled with threats from the outside world.

Recurring Themes

  • Games no one wants to finish.
  • Afternoons shared between peers.
  • Exhaustion beyond limits.

Character Agency

The main character's goal is to protect their city and their families. They'd like to make a positive change in the world, but most of them believe that's not possible.

Focus

The major concern for everyone is to keep the city and its inhabitants safe. All citizens are very involved in protecting each other and working together to protect themselves from outside threats.
There are two important things that need to be in check in order to keep everyone safe: food, and a resource to sustain the city's defences and the devices used to neutralize kid's powers when needed.
Some people wish to spread their peaceful way of raising their children, others only care about protecting their own. What happens if their disagreement escalates? Do they know what the children want?

Drama

  • Children with powers are always difficult to handle and raise. It's most difficult when they demand to leave the city when they still have powers.
  • Sometimes families leave the city after their kids no longer have powers with the oath to never disclose the location of the city. Sadly, not all of them keep their word.
  • There are two groups of people trying to find the city: one has peaceful reasons, the other doesn't.
