You used to be the leader of a legendary squad of heroes who banished a great evil from the world, and now you’re needed again. The catch is that now all of you work in normal, 9 to 5 jobs at retail, well adjusted to ordinary life, because heroes don’t get paid apparently.

Your church-going, God-worshipping sister adopted a small child and you’re excited to see them. But when you do, the child is a menace. They’re throwing things everywhere, setting furniture on fire with seemingly nothing, chanting in Latin to summon demons, but the weirdest thing is that your sister doesn’t seem to mind.

As punishment, the gods make you the ward of the newest among them. They have the mental maturity of a twelve year old, the strength of five hundred men, and the knowledge collective knowledge of three thousand years of human history. Write about the chaos that ensues.

“Could you at least try to be nice?”

“You’re still breathing. That’s me being fucking nice, asshole.”

Prompt #1167

“What are you doing?”

“Dying. Duh.”

At the top of the hill where nothing ever grows, stands a stone statue of a warrior frozen mid-battle. Most of the people have already forgotten its story, but the elders still whisper sometimes, in the darkest nights of the coldest winters, about the Silent Guardian, cursed by the gods to forever stand watch, neither dead nor alive. Tell the story of the Silent Guardian.

The most valuable chart…

Demons

We judge eachother

By what we see

But there is so much more

Beneath the vanity

We are all fighting

The demons of our minds

We are all broken

All shapes and all kinds

No one is free

From pain and strife

But every soul

Flees a different knife

If only we could see

What lies beneath

Our outward appearance

Our contrived motifs

Understanding would be simpler

If we could only see

The demons that reside

Inside you and me

Quick Story Idea

Okay so, quick story idea: a villain turned good but having trouble gaining the people’s trust. 

Subplots: 

The villain is framed and has to resort to his old ways to find who framed him

The villain fakes turning back to bad to save the hero’s life from unknown threat

The villain is framed and thrown into an unescapable super-prison and it’s up to the hero to break him/her out to save the world or whatever

A hero and villain know each other as normal humans and as their super form– After all, they’re related. Write what it’s like to have to fight your little sibling because yet again, they’re trying to save the world instead of doing the dishes.

“Cursed with the greatest Evil to ever walk the realms of the Living,” the protagonist isn’t really interested in destroying the world at all, and runs an animal shelter. 

In the distant future, science has found a way to change your personality. However, to add a personality trait, one must drink a special essence that can only be produced by taking the trait away from other person. Personality Banks open, mostly filled with negative traits, that nobody ever takes. After years, comes the first person, gun in their hand, to give away a positive trait, and demands that all negative traits are handed over.

A hero and villain know each other as normal humans and as their super form– After all, they’re related. Write what it’s like to have to fight your little sibling because yet again, they’re trying to save the world instead of doing the dishes.

You are a hero who, one day, just gets bored of saving everyone. You decide to be the villain for a day. Write about your day.

Prompt List: Ways to Meet

A list of ways for your characters to meet!

Get stuck in an elevator

Meet in a chatroom

A is part of the team that rescues B and others from bad guys/organization

A buys B as a slave

A is a pirate and B is the leprechaun guarding the gold

By coincidence, A and B go to the same roof at the same time to contemplate suicide

A is B’s court appointed lawyer

A is the captain of the ship that rescued B who was stranded on a deserted island.

Two strangers arrive at the same hotel late at night and there is only one room available. It’s the only hotel in town so they agree to share. (Bonus if there is only one bed and no couch)

Flying alone and sitting next to each other on the plane

A is in a rush and spills coffee on B

A is asked/forced to show B around the workplace/ school

A gets hurt at the amusement park/ restaurant/ movie theater/ zoo/ whatever where B works and B is the one to patch them up.

A goes on the Ferris wheel alone even though heights scare them (part of a dare) and freaks out. B, who works there, is the one to comfort them and coax them off the ride.

Traffic has been stopped dead for hours and people are getting out of their cars to stretch and complain. A and B’s cars are next to each other and they start chatting.

Forced to work together for a school or work project

Reaching for the same book at the library/bookstore (bonus if it’s on a really odd topic like how to commit murder or theories about bigfoot or how to speak to dogs or just anything unusual)
