Good Morning!
Hello individuals of all variety! I hope you're doing well and are ready to read through some different situations and scenarios I'm looking to get into.
To get logistics and similar things out of the way: My availability could be anytime among the 24 hour clock. I can't predict it, and you'll probably not be able to either. With all ideas, the main thing I'd like to do is pre-plan and get ourselves situated in a strong creative position so that we're satisfied with the direction we'll be going in. Through that process, I hope to get to know you a bit more so we can both come to a better collaborative understanding with one another.
I've tagged this with the Anime/Manga genre tag to make the kind of aesthetic I'm going for clear: Unless stated otherwise, we're reaching for anime levels of high power. Equally threatening end goals hopefully balance this sort of ideal out, but I'd very much love to sit and work out what we both want out of our time together.
Similarly, this has been tagged as 1x1 AND small group. I'll specify if I feel an idea only fits into one or the other, but like anything I'm sure I can be convinced to change my mind. (It doesn't take much.)
That being said, all ideas presented are subject to change based on our whims. If you like the base idea and want to run with it, that's totally fine and I do have plenty of ideas to GM with. But, I would love for us to participate equally or at least have a strong back and forth about the decisions we're making in regard to the story we're going for.
With that out of the way, on to what you may actually care about:
Happenings in Holybath
-We'll start with the least anime/power fantasy ideal that is probably most suited for group enjoyment. You've probably read this prompt before, so I'll keep it brief.
Small Town North-Western USA: A local resort town plays home to a secret that the locals are keen on keeping isolated from the larger world. Are you one of the Keepers who attempt to maintain the status quo as it has been for years? Or are you a curious stranger who has reasons to blow the whistle on the entire town?
This is a cult investigation roleplay that I actually do have a lot set up for. Plenty of characters and a town already fleshed out for you to explore and investigate, or to politic and thrive among. Group play is welcomed, and you don't really need to come equipped with a lot of ideas. Just bring your curiosity and be willing to work with others should you desire a more group-play atmosphere.
Wicked Wings
- This is half of an old idea and half of my current obsession with Armored Core and Mech Warrior coming together for a strong desire to write magical mecha. The premise would ideally follow along the idea of a militaristic coven of Witches and Warlocks dedicated to a God of Machines. This is purely meant to be a fun action/SoL roleplay where we have room to either travel the galaxy's conflicts and amass wealth for the coven or get wrapped up in something bigger and more important than intended.
I have a lot of ideas for this too since it's been tumbling around actively in my skull for a month or more. It doesn't have to be Mecha either; I think it'd be fun to follow any of the coven's different functioning branches from boots on the ground to commanding officers on the ships.
Little Gods in the Vastness
- I like the idea of the Universe being so big that "God" can't possibly cover all of its own creation. This would hopefully be a spin on the classic hero's journey; a fragment of God slowly but surely returning to the place it came from. Coming across all manner of threat and trouble, helping or hurting based on its own belief and desire until eventually meeting its maker in a very literal way. I've got no real lore for this that isn't part of my own personal canon, but I figured it would be a good shell to advertise for since it is a fun idea.
This would be what I consider as 1x1 only, as if you're interested in this I'd like for it to feel like the world centers around you: In a way it does. The divine energy of a fragment means its difficult for a secondary character to ever shine without having that exact same light, but we can't have anyone outshining you.
Bloody Days
- Last but not least, I love action movies and modern assassin flicks where the main characters cleave bloody swathes through dozens and dozens of henchmen, whatever formula usually ending in a climactic and personal combat sequence between the protag and antag until the hero comes out on top. But, why does the main character always have some sort of superior moral ground? Do you have to have some sort of greater morality to connect with a character who otherwise would be like any other murderer?
I'll leave it up to you to decide that. All I really want out of this is cool action and a fun setting. Whether we stick to something like John Wick with a more modernist aesthetic or move into Equilibrium or Aeon Flux territory in a gritty cyberpunk style future is totally up in the air for us to figure out in collaboration.
I hope that one of these caught your eye. I'm willing to provide a writing sample to all who are interested so that you can confirm my proficiency; just ask for it. Otherwise, again I hope you're having a wonderful time and are feeling well. I hope to hear from interested parties soon.
