VIIX - My first short story.

My first idea is based off a game I designed in my first year of Uni called VIIX. Here is the initial narrative which I will work off:

The story is set in the year 4190, in a world where the world has been ravaged of its natural beauty and pirates roam the land. Robotics and mechanics are very prevalent in society being used to replace missing limbs and patch up wounds. Every day a baby is born, each with its own unique gift. This can range from things like abnormally good strength, to telekinesis, etc. But if the child is to be allowed to live, they must have a power that can be used in society. If not, they are killed. Each child is given a number, a Roman numeral which is branded on them at birth to determine their status in society, I being the highest position. This story is based on our character VIIX. VIIX is an unknown Roman numeral, and her unique gift means she is most dangerous but most precious commodity to anyone is this world. This is because her gift is that she can remove anyone's power, making them a target of the government. However, she can also grant new powers, making her very valuable. VIIX is the glitch in the governments tight system, and an extremely dangerous glitch, also being able to control the environment around her.
The hunter is also the hunted.

So this is my basic narrative outline, giving the main character, the world and the basic narrative. Through storyboarding I will decide where I want to go with the first book. I first started with creating the main character VIIX.
