Hey guys! This is a draft for something I've been thinking of for a while. I might turn it into a comic as soon as I get a drawing tablet, but for now I'll post it here and read your reviews. This will be mainly a summary of the actual story, as I don't know if it would work as a book. the story is about an island in the coast of Brazil, known as the Snake Island (Google it, is a real place), and is set in a future where people found a way to get rid of the snakes, leaving the surviving ones as pets and a source of really powerful venom. Those people found a society, that was actually quite advanced, until a disaster in a factory killed lots of the population, and gave some of the survivors genetic mutations (cliché, I know). now the society is divided into three classes: the really powerful rich people (they tend to occupy positions of power, using the fear the rest of the population has as a weapon), the "common powered" people (normally the middle class) and the actually common people (the real poor people). The main characters are members of a revolutionary group, that plans to overthrow the government, the most important of them being Dr Jekill/Jordan, a genderfluid person that changes power as they change gender.
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
*****
Ella Volkov is a gifted music student, but she's depressed and starting to crack under the pressure of high school. Her overbearing father won't even let her choose what instrument she plays. Then she finds herself alone at a party with Ren, her best friend's crush. She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
