Flash Series Idea
I've got a new idea for a flash series. I've had the idea for a couple of years, but this time I'm actually fleshing it out a bit.
The Premise:
It's a girls school for goddesses in training (high schoolers). The episode flow would be like every other teen drama, only the have crazy classes and god-like abilities. It's like the movie Sky High, only not the last part of the movie where things get really dumb. I might have a boys school near by so they can interact, kind of like the two camps from Camp Lazlo. My only joke so far is the fertility goddess and the war goddess have to take some general classes. The fertility girl has to take a war class and the war girl has to take a fertility class. The war class would be like gym, only with weird stuff like fighting trolls and wielding maces etc. The fertility class would be based off of the age old home ec assignment where students have to care for a fake baby. Since they are gods, it would be funnier if they had to carry around babies like the gods do(i.e. in their foreheads or elbows). So the whole episode the war goddess would have a big lump on her face, maybe it could conflict with being war-like, I dunno. Other things that might come up in the story is goddesses that aren't human like anthropomorphic (mermaids and Egyptian cat people) or elemental ones (living fire, plant life, or water).
The Students (no teacher ideas as of yet):
Goddess of War: She's a tom boy who eats raw meat at lunch time. Kind of like a Norse god.
Goddess of Fertility: Bubbly and doesn't know the extent of how much guys want to date her. She's like that girl that everyone wants to date, only she has never dated anyone. (I can't explain her character very well for some reason)
The Trickster: The typical chaos god. She screws up plans or puts tacks on the teacher's chairs.
The Artist or creator goddess: She's the one pictured above. I figure she's one of those angsty arty types, only instead of painting or writing music, she makes creatures.
Goddess of Wisdom: Every show needs a nerd. I don't know much about her yet, but I figure I'll need her to make inventions or sciencey stuff.
Goddess of Death: A small, quiet, goth girl who kills stuff.
Goddess of the Sun: This is the optimist. If I ever figure out what she looks like, she'll be one of the main three characters (fertility and war being the other two). She's that character who convinces others to do stuff that would advance the plot, a leader of sorts.
Goddess of Love: She's going to be that token preppy girl who rags on all the misfits. A cheerleader type.
Goddess of Nature: A hippie girl. I might cut this character or just make her a very minor character.
Right now I'm trying to create the characters, then simplify them so I can easily animate them in flash (the hand drawn way not the flash libraries way).
