A reboot of an old idea that I have unsuccessfully tried to do (for various reasons) that is based off of an extremely vivid dream I once had. I have yet to RP this idea substantially enough that it's satisfying so now it's just this irritating itch that needs scratching.
The basics: There is a large event, a big festival of sorts celebrating the end of old wars and the anniversary of a newly formed empire, alliance, etc. It is known, however, that while most nations/kindoms/whatever supported the change, there were some borderlands that were less than thrilled. The distant desert land of Azurei is one of them. My character, who is from Azurei but who has been traveling abroad for several years, finds herself at this event by chance--she's in the right place at the right time. All is well, until something goes horribly wrong, and there is an attack of some variety (think terrorism).
Turns out, her kinsmen are responsible and due to very obvious physical traits (namely facial tattoos that are culturally relevant to them) people begin to suspect that she is also responsible. She is accosted by someone (your character) and though it's quickly discovered that she's not the guilty party, they realize a simple truth: Azurei is very far away and is very small and not well known. Being a nation that liked to keep to themselves, nobody really knows the language or much about the inner workings of this nation, so your character convinces mine to help them track down those responsible, figure out why it happened, and to get justice.
Your character might be of the law in some form or another. Your character might be a political figure. Your character might be an average Joe who takes it upon his/herself to deal with the situation. Whatever works for you. I'm not picky.
This is only a jumping off point for the plot and I hope that from there, we come up with something together. That's usually how I roll.
Setting wise I was thinking like, maybe some kind of alternate universe, either with 'modern' technology or maybe it's more futuristic sci-fi with planetary travel? Maybe it's got more fantasy elements. Maybe everyone's human, maybe there are elves/humans/dwarves etc. I'm up for whatever.
Anyone interested?
