My honest opinion?Here's an incredibly unfinished idea:
The entire interest check is a mess because I barely got any sleep, but uuuugh. I really wanted to finish it tonight.In Halcyon, Espers and magicians both openly exist. Despite this, though, the two sides have been at bloody odds with one another for centuries. Their seemingly endless conflict, however, came to a sudden end in The Final War, after it was interrupted by otherwordly invaders. When Lovecraftian abominations filter into their world by unknown means, the two territories of Regis Maxim and Elslandia put their differences aside to fight together.
That was fifteen years ago.
Nicknamed "Cryptids", these abominations have quite the chokehold over Halcyon nowadays. Some have taken to roaming in "compromised zones" within Halcyon, such as a mountainous region that separates Elslandia and Regis Maxim, now mostly abandoned and referred to as No Man's Land. Others, though, pose a much stronger threat: the ability to blend in with society. Ambitious, cunning, capable of reason — nobody quite knows the extent of their abilities. Or what they want. All that is known is that they pose a threat to Halcyon and they are not welcome.
And, in order to combat this menace, military academies have begun to appear across Halcyon.
It gets the juice flowing. A potential writing buddy will see this as an opportunity to worldbuild with you as you guys go through the motions. It gives enough info without hyperfixating on trivial details, reads well and has a solid idea of an uneasy alliance at its core.
The only things that you really need to add is what you look for/expect from your writing partner and then you are pretty much set.
How do you feel about that? What do you dislike about your current writeup?
