Idea:

Game of thrones meets star wars inspired SMA where a guy is going to get executed, the "Executioner" holds out his hand and we see a sword gradually moving across the floor starting in a house, moving to a park, then college corridor, then into the room. While this is happening, the guy getting executed will be "Force Pulled" towards the executioner, and he tries to grab things to get away, manages to slow himself down a second, but the executioner force pulls his leg and drags him on his face toward s him. Once he is there he is held just above the floor, and blood pool turns into a E4 logo.

Designing:

Characters:

Name: Warden / Executioner
Motive: Justice
Description: A man with messy hair wearing a hoodie and black jeans, a cloak covering his shoulders. He uses his powers to both pull his sword to him, and the thief towards him to be "Executed".

Name: Thief
Motive: Money / Hunger
Description: An average height young girl wearing a blue hoodie runs past him and grabs a women's purse a few feet away. She continues to run and the hoodie turns into a hooded cloak.
