I am writing a book about Ninjas and only a few of them have special powers/abilities and I am wondering if I should keep their powers very limited or perhaps expand on them more, I don't want their powers to be too unrealistic or unnatural. Also I am trying to figure out the origin of their powers, were they born with them, did something happen to them to give them powers, etc..
Right now the main character along with a few others have this certain power/ability (can read minds) that no one else has, I am trying to give the bad guys in the book a power that is only found in them that could coincide with the good guys powers to even out the playing field.
One idea I have is to give the bad guys the power of mind control and only have a selected few be able to do it, just like the good guys where only a select few have the power of reading peoples minds.
I am still in the early stages of development, I am about 100 pages in with about 20 pages of ideas and story lines to expand upon, but if I can expand upon their powers I will be able to write more about them and their powers can lead to more interesting plots and story lines.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks
