wouldnt let me respond normally. Here's more advice :)
Oh, neat idea :O So, the city wants everyone to be the same as a way to "solve" the problem with equality? Is this in a post-apocalyptic world,? (Note that apocalyptic doesn't necessarily mean a ruined or destroyed world, it usually means a society that has been through massive events that changed the world drastically). So, since this is a story where everyone looks the same, making unique characters will be difficult. Instead of ruining the setting by making one character way different from the others, like the girl he's with, make the girl feel bland but reformed by the boy. Like, she has the same personality and appearance as everyone else, but the boy teaches her how that's bad. And, when he does, instead of changing her personality instantly, make it a slow transition. Like, she slowly begins to develop a unique personality through the story, and in the end, she's like a different person. Who was his father? Was his father regular but different, or maybe even part of a rebellion that wanted to change society? And, maybe you could have the boy think his dad was normal, and slowly discovers that his dad was actually fighting for freedom. It seems like such a unique story idea and I wanna see how it turns out :OO
