Here are a few RP ideas (group or 1x1, depending on how much interest there is) that have either never quite gotten off the ground for me before (including a few “transplants” from some other RP sites I’m on), or have simply been bouncing around in my brain for quite some time. I plan on adding up a poll if and when we get enough interest, so whichever idea gets the most interest will be made into a new RP in the near future.

Well okay, that's just the short version. Here, lemme explain.

clears throat

It all started with the first ninja attack in the US. New York City, to be exact. One second there's crowded streets, bumper-to-bumper traffic, and the odd jackass shouting swear words at the guy who accidentally spilled coffee on his shirt… same old same old, y'know? But then the next second, there's these ninjas all up in your face, breaking into stores and shit, stealing whatever they could take with them and trashing just about everything else!

And if you think THAT attack was bad, wait 'til you hear what they did in Vegas. And Frisco. And Philly. And Miami Beach. Hell, even Disneyland got hit a couple of times! You see where I'm going with this, right? Right. Moving on…

So anyway, everyone was like "OMG ITZ DA NINJAPOCALYPSE MAN" 'cuz nobody knew who these ninjas were or what they wanted with us. (Y'know, besides kicking our asses and all that shit.) Well, amigos, we're still not sure about that.

But here's what I do know. The biggest attack so far was in DC just a few weeks ago, but the real kicker is, the attack was on the White House.

You heard right, folks! And what an attack it was, lemme tell you. The Secret Service and the Presidential Staff never even knew what hit 'em. Only this time the ninjas didn't settle for just kicking their asses, oh no… this time they went for the freakin' JACKPOT and kidnapped the President on their way out!

Needless to say, these ninjas earned themselves some serious street cred after that. Now they're attacking on practically a daily basis, and the body counts from these attacks are really starting to pile up. And the worst part? All those other attacks I mentioned earlier are freakin' kid stuff compared to the shit they're pulling these days: attacks on military bases, raids on maximum-security prisons, attempted hits on political higher-ups… all obviously meant to break this country down piece by piece until the government gives total control to them so they can turn America into Ninjamerica. This isn't good, obviously, but seeing how they still have Mr. President as a hostage, there isn't much we can really do about it.

But we just might be in luck, my friends. You see, not everyone is willing to take this whole ninja takeover schtick lying down. Word on the street is there's an underground resistance forming. Apparently a team calling themselves "the Bad Dudes" is fighting back against the ninja menace as we speak and fixing to kick their asses for a change. No one knows who the Dudes are or where they're from, but theories range from mercenaries to rogue military to all-around ass-kickers. I hear their current agenda is to rescue the president, which would get rid of the only real leverage the ninjas have on us; if that's true, then good luck to them, because they'll need as much of it as they can get.

Ride on, Dudes. Ride on.​

Hollywood, California, USA.

The movie capital of America, where new stars emerge while seasoned professionals bask in the spotlight, but also where dreams can be broken or careers ruined just as easily. From classic silent films to today's blockbusters, the film industry has been growing for decades and has never failed to amaze and entertain its viewers. But on the other hand, sometimes the reality of Hollywood isn't quite so glamorous, as drugs, alcoholism, or simply the daily pressures of the public eye have been known to ruin the careers and lives of many a shining star. For most people, Hollywood's celebrity scene is a constant struggle to reach the top and try not to destroy oneself in the process.

In such a fast-paced industry, having a little magic on your side would really come in handy, wouldn't it?

Well, being able to (literally) charm your way into that major starring role you've been eyeing or make your special effects that much more realistic would be nice. And using an invisibility potion to keep the paparazzi off your back certainly couldn't hurt. And where better to get away with using magic than in a town where practically everyone is in the business of making fantasy pass for reality? Just try not to blow up the whole studio while you're at it, okay? And I know it's tempting, but turning your competitors into toads may not be good for your résumé.

Join in the adventures and misadventures of Hollywood's newest coven, loosely formed from a handful of witches and warlocks from all walks of life, as they each bring a little extra magic to the world-famous Tinseltown ... and try not to burn the city to the ground in the process.

For decades, Summit City - just a few miles south of Washington D.C. - has stood proudly as the superhero capital of America. Though super heroics is not yet officially recognized as a career option, heroes from all walks of life have found themselves a comfortable niche in the city; once a cesspool of crime and corruption, Summit City had no shortage of work opportunities for these supers, who in turn helped to cleanse the city of crime, allowing many a promising hero to launch their careers while also gradually shaping Summit City into the peaceful, virtually crime-free haven that it is today.

But now, in the summer of 2037, this harmony between Summit City and its growing superhero community is in danger of being shattered forever.

It all started with a few minor lawsuits here and there. Veteran hero Mindset moved a car out of the way of an approaching train and saved the lives of the car's occupants, only for the car's owner to sue him for damages inflicted on the car in the process. Lady Justice mistook an adult filming session for an assault in progress, and was subsequently sued by the film's producers for the disruption. But as time went on, more and more lawsuits were filed against various heroes, with each new lawsuit becoming more ambitious than those before it. Faced with a seemingly endless legal battle on several different fronts, many heroes in Summit City lost much of their available funds for crime fighting, while most others were no longer able to fight crime like before lest they also face lawsuits or even court charges for even the slightest misstep.

Now the tensions between Summit City and its once-thriving superhero community have finally reached a breaking point. Many heroes, fed up with the seemingly endless barrage of legal battles, have decided to go on strike effective immediately, officially declaring that they will no longer fight crime until the city's legal system is changed to better accommodate said crime fighting in the future. And needless to say, with several heroes either flat-out refusing to fight crime or lacking the sufficient funds and other crucial resources needed to fight crime effectively, the darker side of Summit City's populace - from basic street criminals to powerful supervillains - has been running more rampant than ever, causing the city's crime rates to increase for the first time in decades. Worse yet, rumor has it that some heroes may have begun aiding these villains in some capacity, so outraged by the seemingly ungrateful attitudes of the people filing the lawsuits that they now allegedly seek revenge on the city as a whole, while others speculate that another, more sinister agenda may be responsible for the strike, or at least may be taking advantage of it.

Whatever the case, superheroes and government officials alike are now desperately struggling to find some form of compromise to end the heroes' strike, before the resulting increase in villain activity brings Summit City to its knees.

In the beginning, magic in Arabia was extremely rare, with only a select few families known to be able to perform magical feats. These First Families were greatly honored and respected in all of Arabia, and to this day, the royal family and some of the nobility are said to be direct descendants of the First Families. As a result, magic has been practiced exclusively by members of the upper class for centuries.

But as time went on, peasants and others among the middle and lower classes began to display signs of magical power, angering the nobles and the royal family. In their eyes, these magically-blessed commoners were born from "tainted blood": an illegitimate mixing of the First Families' blood and commoner blood. As the number of Tainted Blood grew, the sultan of the time began a campaign called "the Cleansing", issuing an official decree that any common-born person found to possess magical ability was to be executed. Thus, for as long as most people can remember, hundreds of thousands of common-born people were arrested and killed for having magical power, as were many wrongly-accused innocents, all in the name of maintaining the purity of the First Families' bloodlines. Nowadays, the vast majority of Tainted Blood have been either executed or forced into hiding.

Until now. An underground movement has emerged recently: a cult of common-born magicians known as the Blessed. Through unknown means, the ruthless Blessed has taken over the royal palace virtually overnight, and the sultan and his family have not been seen or heard from since then. How the Blessed have accomplished this massive feat, and the fate of the royal family after the takeover, remains a mystery to this day. However, the Blessed have since declared war on the nobility by implementing their own version of the Cleansing, plunging the capital city of Baghdad into a blood-stained chaos.

This war has only begun to brew. Where will you stand?

Centuries have passed since the tragic demise of King Arthur Pendragon, and the world that Merlin knew as a young man has changed drastically over the years. The kingdom of Camelot, in which dwelt the heart and soul of a newly-unified Albion, slowly faded into the realms of myth, its people remembered nowadays for such legendary figures as King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, and the Knights of the Round Table. The power of the once-mighty Old Religion, which was drastically diminished even before King Arthur's reign, has long since been reduced to almost nothing, giving way to the advent of scientific progress as well as the introduction of Christianity and other such religious beliefs. Yet despite these changes, Arthur's hopes for the land of Albion were not for naught; Albion, now known to the world as Great Britain, stands proudly as part of a single thriving kingdom in the European continent.

But even in these modern times, remnants of Albion's magical past still survive. Merlin, now an elderly man, currently resides in the small town of Glastonbury near what was once the fabled Lake of Avalon, living in content obscurity despite the legends that have immortalized him in the minds of men. He remains vigilant even to this day, having been told long ago of Arthur's destiny to return from the dead when his beloved Albion should need him again.

That time is approaching fast. Camelot's greatest enemies are fated to return in the modern age, to a world that has long since forgotten about true magic...

...or how to defend itself against it.

Until recently, each Disney-created world once existed in its own separate dimension, with each world possessing its own unique magical properties and initially remaining blissfully unaware of the other worlds' existence. However, following a sudden cosmic shift, the separate dimensions have now begun to merge together into a single collective universe, to the point where it has become possible and even gradually easier for one to travel from one world to another. Not only that, but this interdimensional fusion has allowed the worlds' various magical energies to seep into other worlds and react with each other, creating a massive surge of magical energy now commonly known as "the Influx" that has since been coursing throughout all of the merging dimensions and affecting their inhabitants in a number of different ways.

As the initial effects of the Influx started to become apparent, many of the villains in each world have taken to extracting the raw energies of the Influx and experimenting with them, investigating how the raw power of the Influx might be harnessed for their own sinister purposes. At first these experiments consisted mostly of isolated small-scale tests of little to no practical value to the villains' plans, until Maleficent recently discovered a major breakthrough that has allowed her to harness the Influx's unique properties in ways that had never before been possible.

Since then, countless villains have flocked to Maleficent's side in their mutual quest to seize control over the merging worlds. How long this loosely-formed alliance can survive without being torn apart by greed is anyone's guess, but with more and more heroes suddenly disappearing as of late, it is now clear that the villains are already making their move. The remaining heroes must now band together to defend themselves and their homes from the growing threat, and undo the villains' plans once and for all before it's too late.

The only thing for sure is that the Disneyverse may never be the same again.

MORE COMING SOON!!

Awesome! Sorry about the late reply, but you’re certainly welcome to join in!

Any particular character(s) you have your eyes on, whether from the BBC show or from any other source? Or do you have any OCs in mind? Reincarnation will be a viable option for some of the canons who wouldn’t have normally survived through to the modern age, so don’t worry if you really want to play a canon character.

I can play canon characters and I have an OC. Should I PM you or no?
