Hello everyone, Nevieth here and I've been thinking about what would make a good anime plot, and this is my current rough draft. Feel free to write a detailed/ or vague draft of an anime that you'd enjoy, be creative and make up your own universe!
For starters, I've yet to come up with any character names so I'll just call the male protagonist character A for now.
Character A is the protagonist, somehow through some plot device added into my story later on, he has the power to edit essential things in his world, such as plant life, animals, and even human interaction and such. He's not a good guy, but he's also not a very bad guy either, he's neutral/ unsure of what he'll do. However, whenever he does this he takes on a new physical appearance of a man in a black and red mask with a long cape (just think awesome anime god/ demon figure).
However there's a price for said power, he can 1: only use this power while his real form is asleep, so his true form is vulnerable while he takes on the demon-form. 2: every time he falls asleep and takes on this power, someone he knows dies (basically to summon his demon-form he needs to absorb the life force of someone he knows, it could be someone random that he met for 3 minutes at the coffee shop, or it could be his own mother.)
This whole story will take place during the 21st century Japan/ or New York (a major population), and he'll be a college school student (as most anime... I know, how fucking original.) With this we'll see what sort of turmoil he has, what he does with said power... and if the police can track him down before it's to late, and he ends up killing a lot of people.
This plot is inspired heavily by Death Note I feel, I like the whole - student finds a godly power, uses it to save people but only ends up hurting people and endangering everyone. All the while the police are on the search for him, and if they find him and are able to prove he has said power, will be sentenced to death. Now it's a race against the clock to finish what he needs, before he's tracked down and silenced.- Stories like that always fascinate me.
UPDATE:
I'm adding in a new plot point that I've been thinking about, since this ability can only be used while the protagonist is sleep, I imagine he'd be forced to deal with drugs and in the near future perhaps even an addition to certain drugs which help him sleep and make things more relaxed for him. He'll consider this sacrifice for the good of mankind, while he's really just addicted and starts wavering off of his "path of righteousness".
Perhaps a new character to introduce would be Character B, who's for all current purposes, A's best friend and perhaps in the near future his love interest. Somehow about half way through the series B will discover that this unknown demon entity which has been appearing all around the world is actually A, and he/she'll struggle with either turning him in, killing protagonist A (probably with a gun against A's real body, which is actually very vulnerable) himself (because perhaps B's brother was accidentally killed in one of the demon's attacks/ rampages), perhaps he/she'll even feel like he/she's in love with A even more, feeling A can protect him/her even easier.
I'll add more later on, when I can think of something to further the plot.
Yes I know this is a very rough draft, but it just came off the top of my head and I feel like if I don't write it down I'll forget it.
Later on I may add further plot devices such as family relations, friends, love interests, and other road blocks for our sinister but kind protagonist to get around.
So if you would like to either help add to my story, or write your own go for it, I know a thread like this already exists but it's about 3 months old or so and I didn't want to bring a dead thread back to life, plus a new thread will help me keep everything organized.
