I've been trying to come up with something, anything, but I just can't put my finger on what exactly I want to do. I was going to run a few ideas past you guys, and I want to know what you'd want to see.

1. Modern World, Heroes-style RP

I was thinking of something kind of like the TV show Heroes. Ordinary people developing incredible abilities. It'll be kind of fan fiction-ish, which I don't really like, but I'll put a unique twist on it. Don't worry, the source of the powers and such will be slightly different, so it's not just going to be a rip from the show. I'll figure it out somehow, and it might be fun.


2. Ruina-based RP, pre-Rytiko

Assuming nobody has read my Ruina story, allow me to explain. To preface though, let me say that I've significantly changed the details of the world since the last time I started writing it. But I'll get to it -

Basically, it's a mixed technology world (no guns quite yet) centered around two things - Manipulation of an energy granted by a crystal to those who are around it for long periods of time or those who are born from those who already have the mutation, and alchemy based around two unique elements that were ever present in the world. The Magi, those affected by the crystal, are those that a certain religious group view as blessed or godsent. The group is in stark opposition to the scientific transcendance desired by Alchemists.

When I say "pre-Rytiko", I am refering to the origin of my character. His presence significantly changes the world, and thus I am not willing to have him there. He would dominate the RP, and that isn't fair to the players.

Things will be better explained if this option is preferred.


3. Shattered Renaissance RP

Another world I've been developing. It's set a few centuries after our world, in a completely ravaged world in the process of rebuilding itself. It presents another mixed technology situation, but with crude guns. Gunpowder is expensive and limited severely by a lack of contact between areas and thus a lack of trade between the largest American settlements. There are highways, but they are dangerous due to the effects of what is believed to be a meteor in modern-day Texas. The world seems to be retaliating against humanity - Some plants are sentient and aggressive, animals have mutated and become more dangerous and capable... All of this seems to be bent by the will of a mysterious entity that has appeared twice now, just when the world was on the verge of a true rebirth. It destroyed everything along with a large tribe of super-powered worshipers centered around the meteor in Texas.

This meteor has created slight mutations in some humans, and some mutations have even been created by man using fragments that can sometimes be found in the wild by hunters or wandering tribes. Such things include enhanced physique, hightened senses, enhanced cognitive speed, ability, and reflexes, and some more severe mutations have created things like rapid cellular regeneration (think Wolverine), or even things like rock-hard skin or a vampire-like effect.

Not many people are gifted, keep in mind, and generally those who are do not have extreme abilities and, if they do, they are probably infertile or suffer from other immensely detrimental effects.

It'll be a fun RP that probably ventures away from the central plot of my story by actually leaving the North American continent. Perhaps a naval scene will start it out?

I'm particularly interested in the Heroes RPG and the Shattered Rennaisance. Reminds me of Stephen King's Dark Tower series... one of my absolute favourites! Come to think of it, I like it better than the heroes one!
