Okie, in a stroke of invention aided by a caffeine burst, my ideas ^-^ (no major plots as of yet, but i do have a bit to start with, so yeah...)
Draiken (pron. Dry-cahn) Wing
For nearly three millenia, the world has been at relative peace, relative meaning nothing world-ending. Old legends tell of seven greater beings, so powerful that they are only called upon when the situation is so dire that destruction is eminent. During this long period of rest, technology and civilization have advanced to staggering new heights, passing several decades ahead of our own Earth, with a possible techno-punk twist in some places. But humanity, of course, has not. For the last three decades, two factions have been waging a bitter war against each other; both sides are well-equipped, and there is no end in sight to this horrid conflict, which only seems to rage ever stronger with each passing day.
However, a deeper conflict is about to rise, as long-forgotten powers begin to show themselves once again, the balance of the universe is disrupted blah blah blah...
Anyways, in short: standard fantasy with a near-future technology twist, although I would have to say that magic is restricted to technology- or primitive runic-based (a la Star Ocean but more primitive and no space travel; if you don't know what that is wiki it b/c its a pretty good game series), if only to keep stuff like summoning and such to a minimum; in other words, no calling of huge meteors out of nowhere to blow enemies to kingdom come. Another restriction is that I would ask that the whole vampire/werewolf/demon shindig be kept to a minimum, if only because its been getting a major overhaul as of late that isn't going to end anytime soon.
Along that line, standard fanfare applies to each race or w/e that would be present: dwarves would be good with machines, crafting, and whatnot (although Scottish accent is questionably optional), elves would be good spies, snipers, and the like, humans are good all-around but can easily specialize... Also, armor and the like can be both present and past, or even a mix of the two. so there's that...
my other idea: Claymore RP!
(based loosely off the manga, as that's the only medium I've any experience with) Toss in a few new characters and it could work out. only things are (a) I'd have to have two people at least to beg with me to get the board made, and (b) it would be a mostly-female cast, as that is what the series is. again, if you don't know it do a Wikipedia on it, but wiki contains spoilers b/c its based off the Japanese line, which is a few books ahead of the US publishings >.>
Also with that, since the whole vampire shindig seems to be popular, I'm surprised the manga-obsessed forumites haven't mentioned doing a Trinity Blood RP x-x that's, like, techno-gothic-vampire-vs-human-vs-some-evil-organization ultimatum right there x-x Wouldn't have to include all of the main characters... i dunno just thought about it but not much XD
sooo... ideas? comments? slandering? if i get enough people for one, I can start one a discussion page for it...
