I'm going to put my group rp ideas here as I come up with them. When I'm not at work I'll post links and such.
My Ideas. A discussion of my past failed rps.
In this link are all of the ideas I've had in the past that I either started or never got around to starting. If there is anything there that you are interested in, I might be able to reboot them if enough people are interested.
Currently on Hiatus.
This is next one is a duplicate as it can be done as a 1x1 or as a group so I am leaving it in both places.
Life is random. The mind attempts to add order to this randomness but it only partially succeeds.
Deep Lake City is one of the random facets of life, an eccentric and wealthy individual finding, purchasing, and landscaping an empty area of real estate just to build a lake for himself, only to die shortly after its completion is random.
Corporations buying and building on the land is an attempt of order, to create high rise hotels with an exceptional view for profit. Over time, randomness sets in again, more and more people buying or renting land for homes, businesses, parks, and a wide variety of transportation until you have a city of random lives intersecting over and over again.
Randomness created a city, created the lives within. Randomness created the crime and ordered minds sought to beat it back and when that wasn't enough, randomness created those who could.
Life is random, chaotic, and beautiful. Lives are always changing, for better and worse. Sometimes true evil comes from this random life.
Sometimes it is something truly Heroic.
So this rp was started and we got decently into the beginning but I never got to the point where I revealed the powers. Below is a copy and paste of the original interest thread minus a few pieces that are irrelevant here.
It isn't structured like other roleplays, you don't have character sheets and you don't know even the beginnings of the plot.
Your character is an average person who started going through strange changes, improved physique and health, on top of random altruistic actions.
You get super powers, all five people do. However, you don't get to pick. I have five powers picked out and ready to go. You won't know everything about them and it'll take in rp testing to figure out what you can and cannot do.
There is some world building elements to this as well. I've given a basic structure but it is up to the five role players to build the world, adding in their characters favorite places in the city, places they avoid, ect.
There will be times when I take control over all five characters in what I'm calling "cut scenes" where things happen so fast it is as if your characters are acting on instinct.

A group of friends, while camping, stumble upon a spaceship. EDIT: The idea would be that a group of friends who'd been together since they were young had to separate as they got older, went to college, got jobs, ect. So for once, they all had free time and decided to go camping for a weekend before going back to their busy lives. But that doesn't happen as they see something come shooting out of the sky and land a bit away from them. This spaceship, when they approach, opens its doors to them and when they step in, out of relatively youthful curiosity, it shoots off into a distant part of the galaxy. They are effectively stranded unless they can figure out how the ship works.
And that is all I have for this idea.
And that is all I have for this idea.
This idea was a just a single scene I had in my head at the time. I'll post it here.
The door was open when you woke up, ripped off its hinges from the looks of it. You could hear gunfire just down the hallway before it stopped completely with a wet squelching noise. Soft footfalls came towards the door before a young red headed woman poked her head in "Oh good, your awake. What is two plus two?" you could see blood dripping from her cheek though she had no wound. Why was she asking you to do math? With a frown she begins stalking towards you.
"F-four!" you don't know why you responded. You'd been tested, poked, prodded, but no one had ever asked you to do simple math before. For a second she seemed like she was waiting for more before she nodded and a wide smile split her face.
"Alright, you are good. The bad ones can't stop counting once you get them started. Four becomes eight, eight becomes sixteen, yada yada" she cocked her head and raised a finger to stop anything you might say "Hold up"
She headed back into the hallway and the sound of gunfire shot out past her. She didn't move as bullets ripped through her body, the blood shooting out before freezing in mid air and slowly returning to her body, the wounds sealing up. With a wild grin, she reached into her pocket before she took off down the hallway "Got something for you guys!"
"Is that a grenade!?" you hear a man yell.
"And it's live mother fuckers!" you hear the girl laugh before the sound of an explosion echoes through the building. It is several seconds before footsteps come back down the hallway and body without the top steps back in.
You flinch back even as the blood, flesh, and other portions reattach themselves forming a whole person, the grinning girl from before...though now she was just topless instead of missing her upper half "Alright sleepyhead, lets get out of here. I can do this all day, but eventually they'll just carpet bomb the place and you won't enjoy that" she laughed and left without waiting for you.
For a second you considered just staying there. Then common sense won out and you ran after her.
She was pulling on one of the men's shirts before looking back to you "Good. Lets go meet the others"---
The more concrete idea is that she is a truly immortal being, incapable of being killed and doesn't age. The idea is that around the world, throughout history, there has always been Immortal Objects, things which could bestow power and Immortality through consumption, use, or implantation. Such things include; The Holy Grail, Excalibur, The Fountain of Youth, and many more objects that may or may not be considered fiction. The player characters are characters who didn't have a choice in their immortality, they were given various objects without their consent and made immortal one way or another.
Unlike my character here, Immortal Objects do not offer all around immortality. Some are simply increased longevity, infinite lifespans but not invincibility. Some are full body effects, invincibility and long life spans except for one crucial weakness (Achilles was one of these), some are like Vampires in which they steal the life from others to maintain their own.
In addition to hunting down these Objects and keeping them safe, she also kills other Immortals, at least those who have gone bad or insane from their own immortality. Insane is generally easy to find. They can't stop counting things and will avoid most math out of that fear. This is where the stories of throwing rice to distract a vampire come from. They are compelled to count the finite because they are infinite.

This would be a three person roleplay, at least that would be the idea. Two of us would be controlling the same character, but with two distinct personalities. The third person would be the romantic interest. Kind of a love triangle, perhaps some internal fighting from the personalities and some conflicting emotions from the third party. I think it could be quite interesting. Moved this from my 1x1 interest thread.
This is next one is a duplicate as it can be done as a 1x1 or as a group so I am leaving it in both places.
Time Traveling adventures to repair moments in the past. Not sure how this one will work, maybe some far futuristic one where one character, either yours or mine, is part of a team that monitors the timeline and, when there are issues, either through extraterrestrial or extratemporal, they go back in time to fix the damage. This might include morality issues such as saving the life of someone that should definitely die, but it might also include fixing razor like breaks in space and time. Perhaps the non-traveler character is someone who was meant to die but in a moment of weakness or creativity, the Traveler character ensures that they "Died" while taking them back to the future to join their team? There would be some aggression, tension, but ultimately they would prove to be valuable. I could possibly see doing this with two or three other people. Possible Group Romance? It is the future after all, much is possible.
