RP's Overarching Concept: A roleplay in the Renaissance but with fantasy beings such as Elves, Dwarves and what not co-existing with humans.
Genre/s: Historical Fantasy
Character or Faction Based: Both.
Detailed Description: Basically, I had in my head of what if there was a world with Fantasy beings were in it as well? This would also add some more adventuring elements and give way to adventurers discovering cool stuff and loot, as well as have some good political roleplay with some of the species that are never usually used such as a succubus kingdom or a Mermaid Empire under the ocean.
Need Help With: Setting up the races and making a good plot starter of where it can begin at, as well as balancing out the beings so no one can be overpowered. Oh, and setting up norms n such.

Perhaps a political RP centered around the ongoings of a city state (like Venice, Verona, etc) where instead of entire kingdoms built around the unusual species you instead focus on various Patrician Houses rivaled in trade and for the position of Duce.

RP's Overarching Concept: on a planet inspired by 50s and 60s America, superpowered people are employed by agencies that handle all superhero business. Corporate superheroes isn’t exactly an original idea but transplanting this concept to a 50s office environment à la Mad Men seems like an interesting idea.
Genre/s: superhero, and I suppose slice-of-life … sort of.
Character or Faction Based: character
Detailed Description: a retro-futuristic superhero RP set on a planetwide city - an ecumenopolis - inspired (at least aesthetically) by 50s and early 60s Americana. Various superhero agencies protect this planet-city’s inhabitants from would-be supervillains, extra-terrestrial invaders, and anything else that jeopardises their safety, but they don’t do it for free. These agencies protect private and public institutions from extra-normal threats for a fee, their on-staff superheroes supported by an army of non-powered employees: accountants, lawyers, public relations officers, secretaries, and many more. Additionally, each agency maintains an investigations department. Investigators typically resent their superhero colleagues because they can spend weeks chasing down leads to uncover the location of a supervillain’s lair only to have some costumed blowhard take them down and get all the glory. In this RP, player characters are employed by an agency, be they a superhero or not, and they must navigate their way through office politics while trying to survive (and maybe thrive) in this crazy comic book world. As a backstory, I’m thinking that in this world’s past, something like Star Trek’s Eugenics Wars occurred whereby, through genetic engineering, this planet’s inhabitants activated a recessive gene that grants those individuals possessing it superpowers. This led to a conflict that devastated this world and an eventual peace agreement that resulted in every nation uniting into a supranational union that led to their planet becoming an ecumenopolis. This explains both how superpowers came to exist and how this world came to be a planetwide city. Prior to this RP, a big insurance scandal occurred and a major superhero agency that was involved had to shut down and its former employees - including superheroes - are seeking employment at other agencies. Our RP begins in this scandal’s wake, player characters having to deal with its repercussions.
Need Help With: worldbuilding; I want to flesh this planetwide city out to make it feel more authentic, better defining these superhero agencies place in this world and how they function. I also need names for superhero agencies. Though I think it’d be better that our characters only work for one agency (probably a mid-level agency), having several fully realised agencies will help make this world feel more alive.

I really like the idea Ort. I'm kind of stretched thin RP wise right now, but if any of them clears up, I'd be in it.

I had a concept, nearly two years ago, called [url]Ashes over Aethion[/url], It was to take place in a fantasy setting and the like. I had included some game elements, but my indecision led it to die in the brainstorming phase. However, recently, what with time i have on my hands with no steady connection to the internet i have been reworking and going over past concepts, and have begun to revamp Ashes over Aethion.
The RP would probably begin shortly after the Game is fully released. I have more than a few races for it, and expansions for the game IC'ly will include other races and stuff that characters can change to and the like.
Races include but are not limited to Humans(which there will be at least 2 types), Weseh(beastkin), Elementals, Mensir(Warrior Elves who worship a god of Strength and War), Thangar(Dwarves), Automata (Both Clockwork and Golems), as well as others. There will be 6 classes to start that can be picked with slight variants between them, Warrior, Healer, Thief, Hunter, Wizard, and Summoner.Warrior: (They hack and slash, excessively, oh they may stab and crush too)
Wizard: (Burn them with fire, oh and lightning, maybe bury them alive as well, lots of ways to kill things.)
Healer: (You heal things, big deal, who needs a healer just practice alchemy. Potion Spam FTW.)
Thief: (You steal from the rich and give to the poor, well you probably steal from them too.)
Summoner: (You do very little fighting preferring to hide behind summoned or contracted minions as they fight. Meat Shields HOOOO)
Hunter: (You hunt, also much Shooty Shooty and Stabby Stabby involved)
I will be using the original map that i found using a map generator.I have also begun marking the rough borders and locations of the main nations and places where members of certain races are found.During the time that tabletop RPG's were popular, there was one that stood at the top, Ashes over Aethion. It was released in the Late 70's alongside another TRPG, Heroes United, both games were well received and lauded for their complexity and customizability. Heroes United was set in a world similar to ours full of Heroes and Villains, Ashes over Aethion on the other hand was rather different.
The World of Aethion is a fantastical place full of monsters, magic, and wondrous races. It has multiple continents but the majority of its people and Kingdoms are located on Pahara, the largest of its continents. It has weathered many wars and its people deal with monster attacks on a regular basis, but they survive due to adventurers.
Adventurers are capable fighters who fight monsters and deal with bandits and other requests to help the citizens of Pahara. They are governed by the Adventurers guilds and each are members of the Order of Adventurers. The Guilds are bound by the laws of the country they are in, but except for certain circumstances they are neutral concerning affairs of war.
Despite the fact that over the years TRPGs have fallen in popularity AoA was one that has still survived. As Video and PC games became prevalent the creators of both AoA and Heroes United decided to expand, both games were moved to other platforms. This led to a growth in popularity for both games and even their TRPG variants. That in turn led to MMORPG and OARPGS being developed for both set in the same verse for the games.
In recent years however Virtual Reality games have overtaken all other types of games. Despite this the AoA games have still survived, if barely, their popularity keeping them alive. This year, 2045, the AoA franchise has come to VR in the form of Ashes over Aethion: Rebirth. It not only carried most if not all the regular lore and variety but it evolves and changes as the players act and influence the world. Not all players of Ashes over Aethion were happy with this, some viewed the video games as being simple bastardizations of the original game, the VR version as well.
The above is part of the tentaive premise i typed out for the story version of the concept but can still be adapted. Additionally i have typed out a thing detailing the summarized history and state of Aethion as of the Game start, which will be updated as characters go around doing things and the like.The earliest written histories refer to an ancient event known as the Reckoning when world was changed forever. Ever since that discovery AtR After the Reckoning was used as an affix for the year. It was in the Year 1154 AtR that the Continent of Pahara was changed, just as Aethion was changed forever so long ago in, when the First Scourge swept across Pahara like a plague.
No one knows who or what the Scourge was, just that it was powerful enough to force all the Nations and Races of Pahara to band together despite their differences. Some think it was a creation of the Lord of Destruction to bring 'balance' to Pahara, regardless of its origins it changed Pahara. After it was sealed, not defeated but sealed, Dungeons popped up all over Pahara, places full of traps and monster but also full of treasure.
It has been nearly 400 years since that time and Nations have risen and fallen but Pahara and its people have survived in this tough land. It has been peaceful as of late, with small skirmishes now and then but no large wars. More and more dungeons and artifacts have been discovered but peace has endured. Signs have been pointing towards another great change, but few suspected that it would be Explorers, powerful denizens of another land making Pahara their home.
The two expansions involve the release of an ancient enemy and exploring new lands with associated cultures and the like.
For the rp i will most likely limit much of the mechanics i had planned behind it, such as Origins determining what traits and skills one started with as well as Affinities and Proficiencies. As of the game start IC'ly most will probably be limited to certain areas of Pahara until future updates.
Anyways, i know this might be a lot to read through, but Thoughts?
I don't usually join VR RPs- but I'm familiar with you enough to give this one a try. It sounds solid enough to me and shouldn't be too difficult for me to come up with a character that would play such a game. The closest I ever got was 'Neo Geode Extreme'. I'm not sure why at the time I was against the idea of playing as players of the game but such was my mind at the time. But I digress- this sounds cool especially with the expansions. Though- this would be the first time I'd be playing such a thing from the player perspective. Having the player characters as 'far worlders' is a nice touch; makes their meddling a bit more ignorance then malice.

I remember that, I was in it in fact, gave birth to one of my superhero concepts there, Giovanni D'angelo The Unbleeding/Bloody Angel.
The thing about the concept though is yes you are technically playing people playing the characters, but the world of Aethion is a living and evolving one. Players will quickly realize that they should not simply treat it as another game, but as a another world where they are living another life. I had intended for there to be 'origins' which would in part determine starting traits for characters, but such things might make the concept a bit too complex.

RP Name: Road Trip 2038
Genre: Post-Apocalyptic, character
Background:
Two years ago, the permafrost in the Arctic began melting due to climate change. Frozen within the ice was a virus completely unknown to science. As the ice melted, the virus was released. It was transmitted by drinking infected water, or coming in contact with the infected. Thing was, symptoms didn't show up for at least a week after infection, so people didn't even know they were infected. It spread rapidly, killing billions. Only 20% of the world's population was immune. With that many people dead, everything fell apart. The American countryside is now a lawless warzone. Any remaining cities that survived are lifeboats in a sea of chaos. A refuge in the storm. The old interstate highway system is the easiest way to get around, providing a lifeline for the cities, with supply convoys traveling between them. These supply convoys are made up of a variety of vehicles. Gas is scarce, so most still operational vehicles have been converted to run on solar power or some other fuel. Some industry and manufacturing remains intact, so it's possible to get some manufactured goods, like ammo and tools. Internet access is almost impossible to get.
Your role:
You are a member of one of these supply convoys, whether as a supply person, or for other reasons, such as immigration. You and your trusty vehicle will be making the long dangerous journey from St. Louis to Portland Oregon. It's dangerous to travel at night, so you'll have to make camp, and wait till dawn to keep moving. Keep your wits (and a gun) about you, and you might survive.
Rules:
1. Minimal military characters (one or two are fine).
2. No godmodding or metagaming.
3. No overpowered characters.
4. Standard NS RP rules apply (and data rates).
5. Your character can die, but we'll try to mostly kill off NPCs.
6. Have fun!

I can complement this as reminding me of the 80s -- -- though without the dystopian aspects. I mean- yeah the world is bad but - ok maybe this is very 80s. A bit like Road Warrior. Yes very 80s and I applaud you for working on such.

Current Map of the situation (1952)
Mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and reveling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.
