Per the rating, I don’t expect this series to go beyond pg15. Some episodes, notably the first one, will be pg.

A long time ago, a meteor struck a small farming community called Normal. It started a fire, and the townspeople mustered their resources and put it out. And they thought that was the end of it.

But in the years after that, people started developing strange abilities. At first each person affected thought they were the only one affected, and kept it secret, to keep Normal normal. That changed when one of the affected people tried to use his powers to hold up the town bank. Two other affected people were customers in the bank at the time, and they stopped him.

They downplayed it; in the newspaper it was written up as a simple foiled bank robbery with nothing special about the people involved. But by word of mouth, the stories of the event got around, and the other affected people realized they were not alone. They individually contacted the two heroes of the day, who started a group to link up the dozens of affected people, some with very minor abilities and some with great powers.

Officially, the group became known as NANA, the Normal Always Normal Association, sponsors of various activities to promote the town’s wellbeing. Secretly, they formed a network to call on one another for help against any supernatural threats to the town, as it grew well beyond its farming roots into a city like any other, or at least they hoped it looked like any other. Those whose powers could be used to make extra money donated it to the group to help those whose powers caused them hardship, or were difficult to hide. Those who couldn’t do so found other ways to help protect the secret and those affected by it.

It became less of a secret, too, as more of the townsfolk developed powers in each succeeding generation. It was all they could do to try to keep people outside Normal from learning about it. Them and the children. A combination of treating powers like people treated sex and some broad magic to help cover up lapses and hide those whose altered bodies made their powers more obvious allowed the children of Normal to have normal childhoods, at least until they or their friends developed powers.
