Yet again, I have many different roleplay ideas and I'm not really sure which one I want to do. I need something that will actually be active and keep going, with some kind of central plot even if there are mini-plots to go along with it. As always, though, the problem is that I have waaaay too many different ideas and I have to find a balance of what I think is cool and what people will actually join. So, here's what I have right now:
1) The Haunted Mansion - a roleplay based on the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyworld. I love this ride and I enjoy speculating on the story behind it, so I would love to make a roleplay based around it. It would obviously not be the exact same as the ride, but it would be heavily influenced by it and would mostly have the same/very similar locations. There would be a darker plot to it, even past the fact that everyone would be dead... but I'll leave the details to that a mystery until (if) this idea is chosen. As for the exact nature of the mansion, I'm undecided if it should be exclusively ghosts or if there should be a few living characters as well, and if so, how those living characters would come into it.
2) Tomorrowland - another Magic Kingdom-inspired rp, with no relation to the movie (which I've never actually seen). Would actually probably be a weird blend of the general Tomorrowland theme + Sims 3: Into the Future (bc that's at least 25% of my ideal aesthetic), and would be a bit slice-of-life, though with a more... centralized storyline than those generally have. Not really sure what, exactly, since I haven't put that much thought into this yet, but probably something vaguely dystopian bc that's just how I roll. It would take place in a rather whimsical and seemingly utopian future, likely with some darker undertones which are only apparent shown in brief flashes and mentions in the background (yay, I like being vaguely ominous).
3) The Labyrinth - I frigging love the movie Labyrinth (ya know, the one with David Bowie) and I would absolutely love to do a roleplay based on it. This could really go a lot of ways, depending. A large-scale, general "Labyrinth" rp may get hectic, since there's not really a whole lot that's actually fact about the Labyrinth and its inhabitants, so there's not really a lot to go on there. Thus, it may make a better 1x1 or small group roleplay following a particular plot, perhaps something rather similar to the movie. Actually, even if this one doesn't get picked overall, if anyone would be interested in doing a Labyrinth 1x1 or small group, pls message me omfg I need this.
4) Fallout Shelter - I always thought it would be neat to do a roleplay based on Vault life, preferably from the beginning when the first people enter the Vault. I have a few different ideas for the exact plot and goal of the Vault itself, which could be discussed if this idea gets picked, though obviously the rp Vault would be more like the actual game Vaults than those from Fallout Shelter- that is, with a darker motive in mind than just preserving the lives of its inhabitants. I like the idea of making use of S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats in the rp somehow just bc that seems fun, but we'll see. My two main ideas for the Vault currently are essentially Lord of the Flies (ie, children with little/no adult supervision) and Plato's Republic (basically the "perfect" society, not entirely unlike what I've heard of the story 1984, where the Vault is run perfectly efficiently but citizens have very little freedom to make their own decisions). I do have a few other, less developed ideas however, and if you pick this and have a Vault idea, feel free to PM me or comment.
5) The Dark Brotherhood - daaaaaaaaamn Vyx, back at it again with that Elder Scrolls. Yeah, I did make a DB rp before but then things promptly went haywire irl and I got super busy, forcing me to take an extended hiatus from the forums and immediately murdering the fledgling rp before it could actually go anywhere. But anyways, as for the concept of the rp: it would take place shortly after the game of Skyrim, probably 4E204 or 205, and would mostly focus on the rebuilding of the Brotherhood during this time period. It would take place in the Dawnstar Sanctuary, with a few canon characters but mostly OCs, as well as my own spin on what had happened in DB canon during the time of Skyrim and of Oblivion (don't worry, it's mostly the same, just with some minor details changed to account for my characters. Mostly the same as WHAT happened, just defining the "player" character(s) who did it all). Characters would go through their day-to-day lives in the Sanctuary, intermittently visiting Skyrim's cities for recruitment, provisions, or missions. Assuming this proved popular, the world could be expanded on with linked groups of different groups, guilds, or places, either that I would make or that anyone else passionate about Skyrim could collaborate with me to make. If you'd be interested in that, comment or PM me. For now, though, this will focus on the DB.
6) The Tribe - I've been playing a game called My Tribe again (basically Virtual Villagers but not terrible) and I thought it might be fun to do a sort of 'primitive tribe' type of rp, perhaps with some magic or perhaps not. Exactly what it entailed, and how dark or not that it would be, would depend heavily on who would be interested in doing this. I likely would take some influence from My Tribe just because I like that game, but that would be minor and the plot and style of the tribe is pretty much still entirely undecided. It would probably be a single small tribe of primitive humans or humanoids (perhaps with some small differences from real humans, if it's a bit fantasy-esque) with a simple culture and belief system. With the exception of whatever sort of plot we come up with, this one will be a bit tribal slice-of-life. Kind of like a generic Clan rp, but with people.
7) Vampires vs. Werewolves, Yay - idk whether this would actually come down to vampires vs. werewolves, I just wasn't sure what else to call it. Regardless, there would certainly be both vampires and werewolves, and possibly one or two other such magical type creatures. I'm thinking it would probably take place in some town in modern times where you have, essentially, a group of vampires and a pack of werewolves. Kinda like Twilight but with less glitter, and also hopefully makes sense. Thinking a witch coven might also fit in nicely here. Anyways, the plot of the rp is not that well thought out yet (bc I legit just came up with this) but it would basically follow the vampires' and werewolves' (and possibly witches') rivalry with each other as they attempt to one-up one another while also surviving, and also staying secret from the humans. Another, more central plot may also come up at some point if I come up with something, but we'll see.
8) Animal Place - I'm really not quite sure what, but probably some kind of small animal... place. Like, a horse stable, dog shelter, wildlife rehabilitation center, etc. This would be a pretty realistic rp, with the humans being the main characters and the animals being secondary, and realistic rather than sentient. At this point I'm leaning more towards the shelter or rehabilitation center, since I've seen a lot of stables rps. Not sure. If you have a preference, comment with it pls.
So when I get, idk, a good 25 or so votes, I'll go ahead and tally the winner.
