Amusingly, I was just about to post something along these lines for one of my several scene ideas that have seemed to never quite take off. Specifically, for this particular one, taking the Odyssey as a bit of inspiration... but instead of having a cunning Odysseus surviving by his wit against various mythological and mundane beings, having it be an overhyped "hero" who gets all the credit while his long suffering servant is the unsung heroine who actually gets them out of trouble, possibly trouble of a lewd variety.As of late a roleplay set in like, a mythological ancient Greece or Egypt would be beyond swell. Of course it's hard to pin down the kinda tone I want for either.
Another one would be a Mobile Suit Gundam roleplay, playing out the interactions between a squad of pilots who have to navigate that wartorn world of the Universal Century's One Year War. Lots of opportunity for nuance with the characters having to wrestle with the good and evil of both of the major factions along with how the war swings from favoring one faction to then seeing said faction lose. I'd be aiming for original characters and not subverting the canonical plot too much.
Origin is easily one of the best (mini-)series in the Gundam franchise, in my opinion. What I particularly love about UC Gundam is how Zeon isn't just cartoon villains and the Federation... well, the Federation sort of becomes the evil faction with subsequent series. While I won't say that 08th MS Team is my favorite in the franchise, it definitely inspired this particular itch for a Mobile Suit Gundam RP... though I'd likely lean towards the protagonists being Zeon soldiers rather than Federation soldiers. It seems more interesting to me to have them go from the dominant power (due to the near monopoly on mobile suits) to having to fight a guerilla conflict just to survive on a planet they were trying to secede from, sometimes making tense alliances with splinter factions of the Federation that have finally caught on to the corruption.All your plots sound amazing but -
I love UC Gundam. The only thing that comes close to being as grim in its depiction of war is Armored Core, and even then that franchise's plots mostly revolve around shady corporation underdealings. I have always found the way in which the pilots' psyche is explored to be really interesting and atypical of modern Mecha. As well as the side stories featuring civilians that get caught in the crossfire of the OYW brutalities.
I'm looking at you, WITP and Origins.
Always loved that Vietnam War aspect of the 08th MS Team. I do love some mobile suit rp, but it's super rare, at least in my experience.Origin is easily one of the best (mini-)series in the Gundam franchise, in my opinion.

As to BioShock, I'm sorry to say that I don't think I could be of any help to you there. I've never played any game in the series and I'm only passingly familiar with some of the broad strokes of the setting. That said, dystopias can definitely be interesting, but in my opinion, there's a fine line to tread with it, keeping a sense of tension and despair without having it swing too fully into inevitable tragedy... or the other end in having the looming threats be entirely fangless.
Wow. I would think that would be like ..I just want a submissive cat girl that will let me be her master, which is harder to find than I originally thought
Embrace the cringe! At least you have the courage to admit you're a Sonic fan!Something involving Sonic the Hedgehog and OCs. Yes I'm cringe as shit.
Damn skippyEmbrace the cringe! At least you have the courage to admit you're a Sonic fan!
I love MMF. I write F and can share the second male.An MxFxM stuff with some bi sexuality thrown in. Often times when I try to go for it like 90% of the time the other person wants it to be a cuckolding thing which I'm not really into
Hmmm...I love MMF. I write F and can share the second male.
