My TV drama concept is called Syke school. The reason I chose this name was that the idea behind my drama was a group of teens who learn to gain full control of their psychic abilities hence the word "psych" which has been changed to "Syke" which is said in a broken way to show how the characters come from a poor and broken environment. The word school is a way to show the learning process as they are taught by a mentor. This all equated to "syke school". The tag line I chose was "your power is your weakness", now the reason I chose this as a tag-line was to show how the protagonists abilities will lead to the trouble they encounter in the series as well as general issues such as the struggles of fitting into a normal western society. The genre of my series is crime-superpower which I chose as I feel like it will add uniqueness to my story.
The narrative of my story begins with 3 teens (Daryl, Arthur, and Steele) who wake up finding out they have special abilities which are teleportation, telekinesis and superspeed. These characters go to different schools but feel a strange connection as they are drawn to one another. They end up in the same location and immediately realize they are different. They all try to figure how they were bestowed with these abilities but simply disregard it for a while and use their powers for their own gains for a while (nothing too harsh or immoral, they simply make life easier for themselves.) They end up spending a lot of time together in general. One day they are approached by someone who they feel an instant connection with, the same connection they felt with each other. He is also older(23) and is called "EJ" who has the ability to read minds. Turns out he is experienced in his powers and wants to lead the teens in a good direction as he himself had seen other people with special abilities turn to the darker path. After convincing the teens to join him he begins teaching the teens how to control their powers properly and maximize them to stop crime on the grimey streets of London. However higher authorities are not satisfied by their vigilante antics and end up trying to stop the squad. Towards the end of the season, we see the Skye squad face the police eventually coming to an understanding and agree to the protection of humanity. However, we see Arthur become disturbed with heroic life as he wishes to live on his own accord which ends off the season in a sticky mess.
Characters:
The first character is Daryl. Daryl is your average teenager, uninterested in school, gamer, interested in females and in general, he represents what it means to be a teenager as he is not as deep as the other characters but quite relatable and offers comedic value to the audience. Finds himself in a love triangle with Arthur and Steele
Arthur is the next teenager, he comes from a broken home living only with his father and often finds himself in trouble whether it be in school or outside of it. He comes off as sympathetic due to his background and is often seen as the potentially unstable character out of the squad. Finds himself in a love triangle with Arthur and Steele
Steele is your scholar and the "good at everything" character who is seen to have mastery over her ability before both Arthur and Daryl. She subverts the usual female stereotypes because of how "badass" she is seen as and her overall confident and unrattled demeanor. Finds himself in a love triangle with Arthur and Steele
EJ is the character you would find out of a comic book, however, he is also quite different because of in contrast to the teens, his ability is mental, not physical which ends up putting him on the sidelines in the show instead of standing in midst of everything which I believe makes him unique. He is a mentor and has an interesting past as he was homeless before he attained his abilities in his teen years.
