An old request thread completely revamped and updated! (as of 12/05/18)
About me:
Asteroid Vegas: Closed
A few hundred years from now, give or take, the asteroid belt is a major vacation destination, a sort of Vegas of the cosmos. One asteroid, in particular, is a fully self- sufficient den of vice and bad behavior. What better place for a PI to make a bit of cash? Lost husbands, runaway children, and cheats trying to avoid paying the piper. Not exactly glamorous work, but it pays the bills, and who knows what kind of trouble one might stir up? This one I have the setting in mind more firmly than a plot beyond I would play a PI, but plot possibilities are nearly endless! More details in the spoiler, any further questions just ask!
All in your head:
A young man is absolutely convinced aliens are in charge and controlling humans. He came to this "revelation" after a head injury he claims reset his brain. Everyone else says it's just the damaged part bringing out the paranoia. He refuses to believe this, as is proven what he writes in his journal: "Life seemed completely normal, but the thing is that I believed they were observing me because I was in a play. We all were. Every alien was assigned a human, when that human was born, the script for the play was imprinted in their brain and so we would live our lives for the entertainment of our designated alien that would watch us in some sort of theater." Is he right? Or is it a story his mind came up to cope with the pain? (I don't actually know these answers)
Exploration Fleet:
Space! The final frontier! Okay, yeah, not a Star Trek rip off, but it kind of is in a way. A race of aliens - the Zebek - are observers of the universe. They send out ships to observe other parts of the universe, galaxies that may know of the existence of aliens or they might not. One such young Zebek (My Character) has just graduated from the academy along with his best friend, the only human (also MC) to ever live among the Zebek. They are scheduled to board their own vessel to go explore the universe on their first mission, but they still need two crewmembers to fill out their crew. Needed positions: Medic, cook, ambassador, and first scout. You can either chose one position per character or double up. For example, the medic could also serve as the cook. Again, looking for two crew members. My two are the Captain and pilot, and the Engineer.
Vampires! part one: Closed
Vampire school where, basically, vampires get taught how to survive in the human world. This RPG is designed around the book, You're a Vampire: That Sucks "a Survival Guide" by "Count" Dominick Dicce [love that book] You are a newly turned vampire. You're stumbling along trying to figure out what happened and what to do when you find this pamphlet. Perhaps in the library, perhaps in a phone booth, or stuck in somewhere unobtrusive. (more info if you are interested, and not Twilight vampires!)
Vampires! part two: Closed
Another Vampire story, but this time a young vampire taken under the wing of an elder vampire. Can be a romance, or it can be purely an apprentice/master story. Alternatively, similar idea, but in this one a human has a great desire to become a vampire, and so gives themselves over to an elder vampire as a slave until the vampire chooses to Turn them. Again, can be a romance, or it can be purely a servant/master story.
Revenge of the Myth: Closed
In the days of yore, a young woman is accused of witchcraft so another man might take over her father's lucrative business. She is the only child, her mother long dead, and her father poor of health. During the rigged trial, the father dies of a heart attack, and the villagers take her out and tie her to a stake for a wolf or monster's meal, but the type of monster that shows up is not the kind she expects. An intelligent dragon who has the ability to shape-shift into human form only at night but must maintain dragon form during the day. For whatever reason, he agrees to help her get revenge, but it turns out to be a tricky business, and is revenge what she really needs?
Space Share:
A pair of roommates, housemates, or flatmates, whatever you like. The twist is one (or possibly both!) isn't as they seem. Perhaps they are a ghost who needs a living person to help pay the bills, or perhaps a strange race like a werewolf looking for a place to hide, or possibly just a woman and a man who didn't expect to be sharing space with the opposite gender. Open for this one to be a romance. If we go the fantasy route of having one (or both) be something supernatural, they will need to hide their true nature from the other. Looking for a lot of awkwardness and comedy in this one.
Werewolf Family:
This one is a little vague, so I'd love to get a partner to help me flesh it out and come up with a plot. What if "Werewolfism" is a genetic anomaly that is genetic. It is active in males, making them go all hairy and turn into wolves on the full moon (able to turn at will any other time). Females do not go "wolf," but they are carriers for the anomaly and must choose whether or not they will pass it on to the next generation. Some think being a werewolf is a thing of pride, some think it is a shame, and some view it as a condition to be controlled but otherwise don't care. What could be done in a world like this?
Alien Pet: Closed
A human is captured from Earth and taken to an alien planet. The alien who kidnapped the human misunderstood, thinking humans were animals and not sentient. The human is treated as a pet by a strict alien, and there is no escape back to earth in sight. How are they going to get out of this? Can they befriend the alien? Can they overthrow the alien? Can they somehow trick the alien or steal a ship to get back home? Open for this one to be a romance or just friends.
Magic: Closed
A fairly standard story here of a grumpy older wizard/witch taking a younger one on as an apprentice. Or maybe a school or similar.
Pirates: Closed
Are always fun! I don't know, no ideas here, just throwing out that I like pirates.
If you made it this far, thank you and congratulations! All my ideas are up for discussion and I'm willing to change many details, so just ask if you have an idea similar to them or a different take. Also, if you have any ideas not related to these but you think we'd make a good fit, send them my way! No, not everyone is going to always agree on every idea, but hey, they are fun to talk about. Please send me a PM if you are interested in something, do not reply here. Thank you! Here's to hoping for a few RPs to happen. :)
About me:
- I take a chill approach to RPs, but I'm still a serious writer
- I'm highly active and usually reply multiple times daily (outside of when life and holidays interfere) but I know this is rare and I am very patient and do not require partners to have a certain level of activity
- My average posting size is two paragraphs, but it really depends on what's happening in the story. I won't say no to one-liners occasionally - say, if two characters are sitting and talking with not much else happening - but I'd prefer them not to happen often, and I won't give them often.
- I do ask for character profiles. I don't require a lot, more is great, but I'll be happy with just a name, age, physical description, and a picture if possible.
- I generally keep things PG13 - give or take - but that's just a rough guideline
- I like most genres, but I'm not great at mysteries even if I love them, and romances need to have a strong, driving plot. I don't do fandoms.
- I can and will go dark, but I'm kind of picky about it. I have to be in the mood, and it depends on the plot
- I am particular about "smut." Romance is fine, and I don't mind diving into smut once in a while, and I can and have written smut heavy stuff. For that reason, I'm worn out on sexy scenes. I usually prefer more of a fade to black approach or a single paragraph of vagueness unless otherwise indicated.
- In regards to romance, I only do MxF
- I like a lot of communication with a partner just to check in and make sure we're both enjoying things
- Most importantly, everything is up for discussion and I can be swayed on most details
Asteroid Vegas: Closed

It's a Futuristic setting, but still fairly similar to what we have now. To get to Asteroid Vagas will be like an expensive airplane flight. I don't think they've gotten too far past out Asteroid Vagas, but there's probably some exploration going on and maybe some small mining settlements and similar. Maybe a high-end expensive, clean cut resort that's really hard to get into near Asteroid Vagas. So a slightly different payment method, little tweaks to things like phones and such, and the richest people can have like AI's for customer service, at least for the straightforward stuff, like, for example, a hotel or something could have a holographic 3D image running the front desk. For the most part it's the same as we know, just tweaked, and feel free to add your own tweaks as we go. I make up half of this stuff as I go, anyway.
I feel in this world there is a lot of corruption and is mostly run by the owners of the biggest casinos and pleasure houses and such. The government and law enforcement are still present and effective, but they mostly take a hands-off approach. Except! They will not tolerate anything at all that would hurt tourism as tourism is the lifeblood of the asteroid. So things like pickpocketing, murder, and such are met with harsh consequences. If you're caught. The residents theiving amongst themselves, eh, not as important.
Also, I don't think weapons are allowed other than the non-lethal kind. So no guns or big knives. The logic following the last thing you want a guy who's drunk and just lost everything at a casino to have is a firearm. Stun guns, tasers and the sort are quite popular. They make it easy to neutralize someone and no permanent damage. The police rule heavily populated tourist areas pretty firmly, not interfering with the tourists' illicit activities but instead with protecting the tourists from wannabe pickpockets or potential kidnappers.
The police are galaxy governed organization for the "official police," but hired mercenaries would be very popular for certain people's, uh, privateaffairs. Wink wink. I think the police would likely be easily bribed for a lot of little stuff, but on the whole, they have a line that they will not cross for how much they will turn a blind eye to. If that makes sense. The official police force that can be bribed but not for things that damage the overall reputation. So things like theft, murder and such are not allowed and relentlessly prosecuted but everything else can slide under the radar especially if it's kept out of the public eye. There's going to be a lot of corrupt influence and personal 'enforcement' agencies.
Gambling, brothels, and recreational drug houses are allowed here, under supervision and they have to be inspected and such, but still allowed while back on Earth most of that is no longer legal at all. The lights are kept low and warm, there are few clocks, giving the entire planet an illusion of timelessness. You can lose all track of time here, becoming fully enveloped in the carnal pleasures.
Hence the rise of the Private Investigator. Most of the jobs available are family members trying to find other family members, and the second most popular job is tracking down people trying to skip out on their debts, but there are plenty of other "darker" jobs available to those willing to take great risks for great rewards.
Side note, there are no "sex slaves" here. Only willing women, or at least woman who only view it as "just another job." They get paid well, and there is no market for that sort of thing.
I don't think there would be very many natives (if any) to this asteroid since it's like 95% commercial. Not very encouraging for family people. Granted, there could be people who've lived there for so long they consider themselves natives. There's some living areas for the people who work there.
And lastly, punishment for rule breakers. It would depend on the severity, but I don't think they'd be allowed to exercise the death penalty here. Most severe would be an escort to Earth for trial, smallest would be some jail time, middle ground would be deportation. Unless they aren't a resident, then perhaps troublesome tourists would get deported.
