User blog:Artemis Thorson/Deviant: New and Improved

Deviant (TV Series). This was the original version, try to spot as many similarities as you can.

I've been working on this show for almost three years now. It's gone through countless revisions, endless changes, so much so that if you compared the very first version (which I never published anywhere, so technically you can't but whatever) to what I'm about to show you, you would think they're two completely different shows.

The Premise
A "Deviant" is a person with powers. Nothing more, nothing less. Whether they're born with them or gain them later in life, they are all part of this subspecies of humanity. Humanity, which fears extinction. And this fear sprouted the agency Prometheus, dedicated to eradicate deviants, and show the world that they're a plague. Attempting to prove their point, Prometheus hires a group of terrorists to sneak a deadly chemical called "Serum DX4" into a school during a Saturday detention in order to expose the six students present and turn them into Deviants. These students, Foster Daniels, Daisy Norris, Connor Boguard, Toni Wallace, Gordon Lincoln, and Ashley Ryan, attempt to fight back, leading to them all falling into comas. While in these comas they each begin to display powers, which attracts the attention of Deviant Rights Activist, Anthony Moses, who attempts to help them out of their comas. Although this is complicated when TV show producer Damian Alvarez wants to turn their lives "post-coma" into a reality TV show. After they wake up, they find that they are now part of a much bigger world that they are simply a small part in.

Cast of Characters
The characters Daisy Norris, Connor Boguard, Toni Wallace, Gordon Lincoln, Ashley Ryan, Hank Harrison, Lance Donovan, Anna O'Brian, and Evan Daniels (as well as any other students at Salem High) remain uncast, as they are meant to be portrayed by actual teenagers. The only exception to this rule is Foster Daniels, who will be portrayed by Drake Gibson.


 * Foster Daniels is a "bad boy that everyone knows is secretly good" who is gifted with the ability to control the atmosphere.
 * Daisy Norris is a popular girl at Salem High who plays for the soccer team and is the love interest of Foster and Lance. She is the second most powerful telepath in the world.
 * Connor Boguard is Salem High's #1 wrestler who eventually becomes Foster's best friend and he is capable of coating his skin in organic steel.
 * Toni Wallace is an outcast and a lesbian who is gifted with pyrokinetic abilities.

 * Evan Daniels is Foster Daniels' nine-year-old brother.

Supporting Characters
Yes, I do have other characters already created and cast, 31 to be exact, but they aren't as crucially important as everyone I have listed already. I probably will come back and add them in as I go, but for now, this is what I have for you.
