Besides the ideas down below I also have plots for settings such as SIGNALIS and Fallout.
STAR WARS: THE SHINE.
I'm looking for somebody interested in a highly recreative retelling of some or most of the events of the Old Republic MMO with a focus on (extreme) improvements over the original material. The bones I'm working with are a broad following of the Sith Warrior class storyline, but it matters very little to me if a single character [except one that you probably already know] appear. Our main character, against the grain of the original story, is an ill-prepared woman with no 'hidden talent' to speak of. Naturally weak with the Force and having spent their entire life as a slave, their understanding of it is embarrassingly lacking, only knowing it as the 'Shine.'
This RP is meant to treat the Sith Empire / 'The True Sith' as being genuinely horrifying villains and the worst thing that could've happened to the galaxy since the Rakatans; still, levity and humor is appreciated.
DARKSEID WAS! DC; ANY OF THEM, COMBINATIONS, ORIGINAL
While I'm currently flipping between different continuities, the premise is fairly universal and could be picked up and applied to many different areas. Inspired by Absolute DC and James Gunn's superman, the story would follow a cast away essence of Darkseid that was given a life of its own. With nothing approaching the power of their father, I'd like to explore a soft evil!aligned PoV in (any or a completely new) the universe, exploring the cosmology and implications of the setting through the eyes of an alien intelligence with a natural inclination towards the tyranny and 'practicality' of their father.
As up above Darkseid Was is meant to be a more mature storyline that'll explore grittier topics, but I don't enjoy grimderp and expect even a spawn of Darkseid to know how to crack a smile and experience mutual happiness.
Tags; found family, unlikely romance. Grim.
LIKE DOGS, SHIANNI.
"Don't leave me alone." For everything that's happened to her, there's a hint of steel beneath the words, just enough for the mage to smile beneath the layers of blood and wired edge from an hour of killing. "Take me home."
Shianni's eyes meets theirs, and something inside of her snaps at last. The smell of iron hits her nose, enough to make a blade out of, and she has to tear her eyes away from the other elf, gasping and clenching her eyes shut.
"Please. I can't stand to look at it anymore. Just..."
There's nowhere for her to look. Corpses litter the floor from one corner to another, their vital ichor dragged out of them with unseen force, left to rot in heaps with their limbs wrapped around their bodies like dying spiders.
"You killed them, didn't you?"
She looks down at the shaking woman, nodding, before realizing their eyes were still shut, waiting for her voice.
"Like dogs, Shianni."
I'm searching for somebody interested in a highly creative telling of the events of Dragon Age: Origins with a focus on the storytelling potential of an Elven PoV; themes of genocide, Dark Fantasy storytelling, mildly horrifying implications and uses of magic, slavery, so on.
It is my intention that our MC is a cutaway from the canonically established origin stories made available in the game, instead being a runaway Tevineter elf-slave who's sought refuge in Ferelden before being wrapped up into the events of the original game, themselves a violently radicalized separatist whose aims are to see the birth of an autonomous society for and by Elves. Their induction into the Wardens being something of a roadblock to them that they're likely conned into at Duncan's behest.
Despite the grim undertones at play here I do enjoy levity and our MC is a gregarious, generally upbeat and happy person in spite of their traumatic past; they're a service dominant, preferring the company of women and prioritizing their needs and pleasure in bed.
Lore authenticity isn't very important to me. I value telling a good story over being hogtied to canon.
THE PERIOD WITHOUT SUN / 無日時代
I've been especially eager as of late to participate in a RP that explores the opposite side of an already almost completely unexplored time period of Planetos -- the Long Night, and, instead of seeing it through the eyes of the Andals in Westeros, witnessing it through the eyes of the residents of Yi Ti and eastern Essos at large.
Given how comparatively little information we're provided on this region, much less two thousand to eight thousand years ago, I'd welcome a GM enthusiastic about an especially massive amount of headcanon. The way I'm currently imagining it the RP would explore the contours of what is essentially the Spring & Autumn Period, the Bronze Age collapse, and Dawn of the Dead all rolled into one. Yi Ti, the developed place it is compared to the rest of the world, is a hotspot of conflict between migratory movements, local warlords and imperial officials, malnourished and scared peasants, and, eventually, zombies.
As for the actual plot itself, like the rest of this prompt I'm open to suggestions and complete redrafts, but, as it stands right now the running idea I have is that our player / main character is the fabled but extraordinarily mistranslated Azor Ahai. A woman of low birth; a merchant, most likely, who finds herself in a position to climb the social ladder during our version of the Spring & Autumn period and eventually, through sheer accident, stumble into prophecy and enter the history books of defeating the Others and saving the world.
Again, not intentionally. The character I'm working with here is a fairly evil and cruel person with a malignance and ambition tied with Qin Shi Huang; a legalist autocrat. But, again, I'm entirely open to ideas and counter-suggestions. Don't take a great deal of this prompt as something I'm married to, since I swing between ideas all the time.
Unless my partners want to go some Jade Empire RPG route instead, this RP would naturally be a very politically charged story involving commerce, warfare, statecraft, and a generally gloomy and unpleasant atmosphere. Per my usual rules, I welcome my character being maimed, killed, plagued, and generally fail at things they attempt so long as they aren't sexually assaulted. This RP was loosely inspired by my other prompt, the Heart of Darkness, and will share vibes with it.
Thanks.

I'm searching for a GM interested in a creative retelling of the events of Owlcat's Rogue Trader RPG with a special amount of emphasis on 'creative' as it isn't a requirement for our story to follow it beyond the most basic of respects, this can include abandoning most if not all of the original cast.
My intent is that this story explore the point of view of the lone survivor of a planet put to Exterminatus and the reasons for the extreme 'mercy' shown to them - the genetics that run through their body. Discovered to be a member of a Trader Dynasty at the height of their home's destruction, they were allowed to live, and, after years of indoctrination and reeducation, allowed to enter a minor form of service to their new family. Unbeknowst to their kin is a deep, well-hidden contempt for the Imperium and its leadership and the atrocities carried out in its name; our MC has taken it upon themselves to act as a sleeper agent, playing the part of an obedient and servile member of the house in hopes of advancing themselves through its upper echelons until they may, one day, deal a terrible enough blow to the Imperium so that it may never recover.
Topics for this RP include statecraft, economics, dynastic politics, and a general broad improvement over what I feel were the lacking elements of Owlcat's RPG with a far stronger focus on interpersonal relationships and interactions. Leadership responsibilities, etc. Also lesbianism, obviously. Our MC is intended to be an older woman who, despite her streak of altruism in the face of those around her, gets a kick out of throwing her authority and weight around. Expect age gap stuff (her as an older woman), and casual displays of dominance & submission; lap-sitting, outfit control, kissing, affection, handholding.
