This doesn't seem to be getting any hits in the section which I originally posted it, so I am going to put it here instead.

Don't be surprised that I'm not including a huge plot description here in this topic..before I come up with a plot idea, I'm first going to see if there is anyone that is even interested in getting involved in some modern-day realistic roleplay threads.
There's a multitude of stories that could take place in a modern-day setting, but I am hardly able to find any as I'm scrolling through the pages here. Is this a genre that everyone seems to simply stray from, or what?
One thing I can tell you for certain though: I will always be using the same set of characters (the Weavers). Their backstories may change a little depending on the backstory to the thread, but I intend for the backstory from one thread to mesh with another a majority of the time -- it's how I've always conducted my roleplay. It promotes great character development from my experience.

Since I posted this in the previous topic, people didn't seem too keen on the idea of going with a strictly realistic roleplay. I personally prefer to come up with my own characters, cities, and factions off the top of my head and then generate twists through my characters actually conducting plans behind anothers back, but I understand many of you want to create a roleplay with a twist already inserted.
There is one idea I have come up with, which I am more than willing to modify just a little bit to appeal to my fellow writers. Or if this idea doesn't work at all for you, we can collaborate and come up with something entirely different. All I ask is that we don't deviate from the original goal I am trying to set: Keeping the theme at least somewhat realistic. In other words, I don't want to exaggerate any mythical beings.
Originally, the presence of any mythical and/or supernatural beings was strictly forbidden by my standards. Though now I have come up with the idea of allowing them to become involved in any modern day thread I start..with some restrictions. One idea for a restriction would be that all mystical beings had been captured by a powerful corporation and are being held in isolation as scientists run tests on them without knowledge of outsiders and once in a while, for testing purposes, the beings are let loose in the streets to see if they can live normally among humans.
