what is wrong with the world? the times have changed and left so much behind that there is no room for those abandoned, those lost in the ways of the old world and left to fend for themselves in the new one.
those few strays, those lost souls are outliers, people without a place in the new world, where superpowers have been outlawed by those to strong for even the most capable to defeat.
the outliers of this world need to unit, they need to fight to reclaim what was lost, to reclaim what was taken by the hypocritical system they once dedicated there lives to.
this story will introduce us to those who call themselves outliers, those who live in the shadows hiding what they are capable of from the world that once demanded them to defend it, the ones left behind by the new world order but are still very much capable of fighting against it.

Zero
Over time, there have been many social and political systems, this is probably the sixth imposed since the second era, all claiming to be different from their predecessor, but always maitaining two absolute invariables; the first is the one that will always be a marginalized class -which will allow a few to stay on top- and the second, the oppressed class that will be waiting for any opportunity to overthrow their oppressors. For better or for worse, I was born a Zero, the fact that I exist is already a crime and still, my family decided to be brave and keep me with them, hiding me in the shadows. They kept me for too long behind the back of the See.

The New Adults( DISCONTINUED TILL 2026 )
They were told to be heroes. But at the end of the day-they're still just kids. When kids all over the world suddenly developed powers, the government saw only profit-and fear. Families were forced to give up their children to brutal testing labs, or face execution for "fostering a threat." Some ran. Now hiding in the wreckage of what was once their home, a group of escaped kids has built their own society: The New House. No adults. No rules-except survive. They train. They fight. They bleed. Because every day, someone breaks the rules. One sneaks off to hear her mother's voice. Another plots betrayal from within. Friendships turn to rivalries. Love turns to loss. Powers spiral out of control. And when they fight-they don't hold back. But underneath the fighting, the power, the chaos... they're just scared kids trying to protect each other from a world that wants them gone. They're building a future without the adults they previously relied on and are instead forced to come together, but some of them would give anything just to go home.Complete
No Superheroes Allowed
Long ago a group of superheroes and villains worked together to prevent an invasion. But they managed to kill more people than they saved. Their destruction caused the perception of those with powers to dramatically shift; to the point of outcast. 50 years later crime has increased to the point where not even the police respond to calls. Few heroes went into hiding to 'play normal'; like my family and I. I live in New Haven City. I've been lucky enough that I don't have powers that attract too much attention --- Everything was going great. Everything was normal. Until Jamie was forced to confront the reality of her situation. The mayor who has been running the NSA was beginning to take drastic measures. Sending many supers off to another island. Stealing their powers. Forcing others to betray their own kind. The victims of these horrific acts are not taking that lightly. Why not make a team of heroes? A team that doesnt give a shit what the NSA or the Mayor has to say. A team of young teens who probably don't even listen to each other. That will save the world...Complete
Once Again
"It's human nature. It's instinct to survive, no matter the cost." The world has fallen into desolation. The apocalypse has already started and finished, leaving some of the surviving ones with strange powers and mysterious scars. The world has ended, according to some, and is now in a state of rebirth. Others say it hasn't ended yet and that it's only going to get worse. The remaining people have grouped together in packs and gangs, raiding the desolate cities and avoiding the ones called the Destroyers, who capture and torture the remaining survivors. No one is safe. One fifteen year old boy knows this better than anyone. He and his older sister lived together, sticking to the dark alleys of their abandoned city, and survived for years after the apocalypse, until the Destroyers came and took her away, reigning terror on the few who remained in the city. The boy, desperate to find someone to help him save his sister, leaves the city and finds one of the youngest cooperative packs in North America, called the Raiders, comprised of unwanted individuals with the strange powers left from the destruction of years past. Their leader, a destructive insomniac, promises to help him in return for the skills and usefulness this young boy seems to possess, but something disrupting sends waves of unease through the Raiders, something about a forgotten past and talk of a mutiny. "Maybe there's more to life than just surviving." ... Rated C for Caution. Though it's rated mature, there is no bad language or vivid descriptions of sexual contact. It does have very strong themes.

Cosmic
In an alternate timeline, the human race found a way to create superpowers. By extracting energy from stars and inserting that energy into humans, 'powers' were created. Powers allowed humans to gain unnatural abilities such as flight, invisibility, super strength or in other words, superpowers. Of course, with the introduction of something so revolutionary, people rose up in the hundreds of thousands in an event known as the Great Rebellion. The insurgents banded together under a single banner and became collectively known as the Shadow, marking the beginning of the Cosmic Wars. Out of the darkness, the Gazers were born. Using what remained of the power technology, the Gazers singlehandedly perished the evil and ended the conflict. However, there was a price to pay. Powers put a toll on the human body and had serious mental and physical repercussions. The solution was to recruit children from the age of 13 to 18 and train them so their bodies would adapt to their powers, eventually becoming immune to all negative side effects. The end of the Cosmic Wars brought forth a new age of peace and prosperity that the world had never seen before. However, the long reign of the Gazers has already begun to crumble, cracks showing up within the very thread of society. Their rule will not last for much longer. The Shadow will rise once again. Or in other words, my unintentional and accidental ripoff of My Hero Academia :/ Blurb is a work in progressComplete
The Unordinary
Six high school students looks like anyone else acts like anyone else but are capable of things no one else is. They learnt from a young age no one that means NO ONE can know about their powers even their parents and other siblings. It brings out the true friends and those who just want to use you. In the end, what do you do when your closest friend betrays you? This is the story as they try to keep their biggest darkest secret of what they are capable of and as they discover they're not the only ones like them... I am not very good at trigger warnings before individual chapters but there is mention of blood, cold abuse and parents divorcing. (But read at your own risk in case I mention something else. I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school. I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing. (Don't be too harsh please)Complete
2145 (Pilot)
100 years into the future, biology has given way to a new humanoid race, the Supernaturals. However, survival for them isn't easy in a world where they are criminalized and oppressed. It's survival of the fittest, or rather, the smartest and most successful. And with a criminal underworld full of illegal Supernatural activity, things are bound to spiral out eventually. (This series has had a rocky start. I've rewritten it hundreds of times over and have finally found something to roll with. I'm happy with how the Pilot turned out and am excited to finally introduce this series. GLR is still in progress, don't worry, this is just one of my side-hustles.)Complete
