Plot Hooks for 1x1 RP's
My preference for partners is that they be able to keep up with a couple paragraphs and be creative in the process. I like to brainstorm a bit on plots and I prefer a little back and forth rather than being the one driving the plot all by themselves.
To that end, I have several prompts I'd be willing to try and am listing them (with links to the RP ideas that they are distilled from) below. If interested, please PM. I don't always check this thread, but I do get notifications when I get a PM. ;)
These plots are distilled from larger plots for RP's that I have done (or have never done but would like to do.) I have a wide range of interests and if you want me to try a different plot, I will at least consider the plot. If it strikes a chord of creativity for me, I'll be happy to actually play along.

- [Modern Fantasy] Magic returns to the world after a long slumber, and an unprepared world freaks out. Two magic users have to make their way through an altered social landscape while keeping their secrets. (Source)
- [Science Fiction] Military contractors wake up to find themselves far from Uzbekistan, where they thought they were going, and fighting as mercenaries for aliens that think Humanity's propensity for violence and creativity will make them a force to be reckoned with on insterstellar battlefields.(Source)
- [Modern/Horror] A tropical island turns into a hellish landscape of war between natives and a rapacious corporation with the characters caught in the middle. And then they discover the horror manipulating it all to its own foul ends. (Source)
- [Historical] 1943/44: Two teenagers are part of the Resistance against the German occupation of France in World War II. This sort of thing actually happened; kids as young as 14-15 were actually fighting the Germans in 1944, and prior to that even younger kids were assisting the Resistance. So yes, this is realistic.(Source)
- [Post-Apocalyptic/Sci-Fi] The world was destroyed in the fire of nuclear weaponry, and the survivors live in a world lit only by fire. However, that changes when invaders from space arrive, supporting some kingdoms against others. (Source)
- [Vampire Horror/Cyberpunk] With their power uncontested for thousands of years, vampires rule humanity from the shadows, using them as pawns and cattle in their sadistic game. Many organizations have tried, and failed, to fight the vampires effectively, until one organization, after centuries of planning, information gathering and investment in research and development, makes breakthroughs in cybernetics that allow a human to have a fair chance of fighting individual vampires. The organization's first operation with this technology is the revenge killing against a specific vampire... If you can't stand Twilight, you'll enjoy this. (Source)
- [Fantasy] Two adventurers promoted to the governing council of their city-state must now investigate the assassination of their predecessors while unravelling mysteries of their past that have come back to haunt them. (Source)
- [Modern/Slice of Life]Two childhood friends that shared the sandbox together grew apart in high school and further in adult life; one is getting serious about settling down with someone her parents approve of but that she has doubts about, the other is a dedicated musician that is about to make it beyond his wildest dreams. They're both about to get what they wish for and find it wanting. (Source)
- [Historical] A Jewish man hunts one of the SS officers responsible for the death of his family during the Holocaust and follows the trail into the French Foreign Legion, fighting a guerrilla war in Indochina (Vietnam). When wounded, he meets the German man's wife, a nurse that has no idea about her husband's past. (Source)
- [Sci-Fi] A colony of humanity's is lost but eventually finds itself at its destination centuries late. The colonists, accomplished scientists and researchers at the top of their field, establish a high tech colony that is capable of self sufficiency and far more, thanks to the experimental artificial intelligence and support systems it brings along. It is not aware how much time has passed or how much has changed since they departed Earth.
- [Post-Apocalyptic/Fantasy] The world is not destroyed in a nuclear fire, but by a magical one as dragons and other beasts of myth return, sweeping the world and leaving devastation in its wake. In the former US State of Minnesota, facing an invasion of goblinkind, two enemies, products of two different communities, unite to try and face down the oncoming horde, putting their antipathies behind in order to survive.
- [Sci Fi or Fantasy] A maimed, disgraced warrior (either long dead or imprisoned/executed) is brought back by the heir of a monarchy from either another plane (fantasy) or galaxy (sci-fi) to provide the natural talent only he has while earning his redemption and rehabilitation in the process.
- [Modern Alternate History] In 2013 (or thereabouts, maybe later?) the Soviet Union invades the United States. The US military is set back on its heels, but the Soviets face a new problem -- the American guerrilla resistance. Based heavily on the first Red Dawn rather than that remake. (source)
- [Modern Fantasy] The city of Camden faces the rise of the dread Lord Nemsemet, an ancient sorcerer who rallies much of the supernatural community to his standard to overpower the hereditary nobility of the courts and establish his own rule of terror in the city. Meanwhile, the supernatural beings of Camden against Nemsemet are unable to call for help or leave, due to some fell enchantment... (Source)

These plots are distilled from larger plots for RP's that I have done (or have never done but would like to do.) I have a wide range of interests and if you want me to try a different plot, I will at least consider the plot. If it strikes a chord of creativity for me, I'll be happy to actually play along.
