Story idea!
I thought of this as we were going home from a weekend trip from Batangas. My crazy-cool uncle from Hawaii and my slightly crazy grandma were my inspiration for this.Regular worker guy (tentatively named Blake) meets Regular girl (tentatively named Ria). They manage to hook up after a brief and formal courtship, and Ria (after an unspecified and unimportant period of time) finally introduces Blake to her family, who are definitely not normal.
Ria's father is an accomplished werewolf hunter, her mother is a master swordslady of a prestigious samurai line, and her uncles (father side) are : A bald guy with ESP, a ninja, and a hypnotist rock star.
So what's up? Apparently, Ria's family has a very long, unusual history. Each and every member of the family manifests some sort of power (ie her ESP and Hypnotist uncles), or experiences an event that changes him/her forever (her father and her ninja uncle). Whoever marries into the family, male or female, gets affected by this phenomenon as well. Also, male outsiders has to drop their surname and adopt the Weird family name, to preserve the line (technicalities aside).
The story revolves around Blake getting acquainted with Ria's many relatives and the oddball adventures that happen to him as he tries to get accepted into the family while trying to retain his sanity.
