Sci-Fi Dystopian Action Story- please critique my premise

How is education like there? Is like how it traditionally is now-a-days? Or is it different? What's the standards as well?

Every citizen has the right to a standard education (reading, math, etc). Permission is required to further one’s education.

The government highly encourages young mids to prosper and for children to develop their natural talents, which the school staff closely monitors. If a child starts showing a special talent for a useful field (technology, science, art, etc) the government will recruit them and utilize their talents for the good of the government. As a result there are many elite institutions for special fields that the government directly recruits from. (Marnie actually attended a school that specialized in technology)

Is romance going to be involved later on?

There's only going to be one canon (and currently alive) romance, and spoilers: Marnie and Felix will never be a thing.

Any diversity? As in sexuality

Any diversity? As in sexuality

It's really not explored, mainly because sex/ romance is not a high priority when you're literally fighting for your life.

Just wanted to know if any romance would be on the side. Do you plan on any main character deaths?

DO I

PLEASE DO

MAIN CHARACTER DEATHS ARE MY FAVORITE!

ADD THAT WITH A CLIFFHANGER–PERFECTION!

Is there anything you need help with? Like coming up with characters, plot, technology, etc.. How much of the story have you thought of already?

The freedom fighters (simply called "The Borgs") are not just gonna be some ragtag group of disgruntled teenagers riddled with pointless love triangles. With the exception of Marnie and Felix, these people are trained veterans who know what they're doing and have real grievances with how the government treats them.

And what's this? The main character actually has to work to achieve her goals? Blasphemy!

Themes Explored
-There is a fine line between good and evil, and sometimes that line is invisible. Sometimes good and evil don't exist at all- only Allies and Enemies.
-The theme of love IS present (quite a bit, actually), but rarely in the form of sexual or romantic love. Instead, we explore the love between friends, family, teammates, one's ideologies, etc.
-The extent of what some will do- or won't do- to uphold their at times extreme beliefs is a recurring theme throughout the series.
-Both the positive and negative aspects of freedom and revolution
-Pros and Cons of advancing technology

If anyone has any suggestions/ critiques I'd be happy to hear them!

Mainly it's just writing it down/ keeping everything straight that I struggle with. This story has gone through so many changes over the years that it's practically unrecognizable from the original idea.

I would love to hear your ideas for tech, if you have any.

What themes are do you want in your story?

What themes are do you want in your story?

Pretty much the ones that I listed, but I'm open to hearing any that sound interesting.

Is this story about revolting against a government or figuring out the secrets of the government or why it's corrupted?

How does society act differently now? What's considered the norm and different/taboo

For tech, I was thinking about like a chamber that does check ups and figures out what's broken. This is mainly for the cyborgs, but maybe there can be something similar like that for non-cyborgs that help with health related things. Like broken bones or seeing if you have a tumor or something like that. I figured that maybe instead of having to manually check each cyborg if they need fixing somewhere Marnie invented this or based it off something similar she saw in her city.

What are these cybernetic parts made out of? Is like some special metal like how in the Marvel universe there's Adamantium.?

A bit of both, really. The characters are fighting for their basic human rights, and they intend to get those rights at any cost. During that journey, they are slowly unraveling the intense corruption that has infected their government.

What are these cybernetic parts made out of? Is like some special metal like how in the Marvel universe there's Adamantium.?

I've imagined the cybernetics to be split into roughly two sections: High Quality, which is made of a high-tech magnesium alloy, and Cheap Quality, which is made of a slightly less durable aluminum alloy.

Are there just cyborgs in within The Borgs? Or are there also non-cyborgs as well within this group?

Does The Borgs have like a secret hideout or something within the domes or outside?

How does society act differently now? What's considered the norm and different/taboo

Still working this out.

I'd assume that there's some oppression/hate on the cyborgs and people would try to stay away from them. Well at least for the ones that could explode. For an example:

I walked into the market and immediately people started to part and make a path for me walk through. As I walked further in the market I felt their stares and heard their harsh whispers. It doesn't help with my advanced hearing. I wished there was an off switch. I walked up to a stand hoping to buy a more (insert some futuristic item). The person at the stand leaned back in disgust. People that were around the stand left quickly. The person manning the stand was obviously displeased with this.

And then more stuff like that. Or do people praise them and like them. The ones that aren't at risk of exploding.

Are the cyborgs that aren't at risk of exploding seen as heroes? Are the veterans seen as heroes?

Are the seven senators cyborgs as well or not? Do cyborgs have a chance at gaining a position in government or they can't?

How do these senators get into power? How long can they stay in that position? How about other positions? How much influence and power do the other positions in government have? How can someone come into a government position?

What's the whole hierarchy? From the most power to the least

Is there religion in this world? Any new religion?
