These are the concepts for RPs that have been on my mind lately but because I already have RPs active (kinda) I can't start them all and have to settle for one idea. Being irresponsible person that I am I have decided to let others make the choice for me so I can blame then when stuff fails, so here's the list and pick a concept that you find the most interesting and would like to see become RP ^^
PS. About the title, I like to think I have a dark and edgy style, but nobody ever commented on it so I have no idea if it's true or not
DIVINE WORLD: SERVASTAL Epic Fantasy
Thirty years ago the two tribes of Servastal, Darkfolk and Goodkin, finally destroyed Bethuser, the God of Madness who terrorised the world and its inhabitants for hundred years. Many sacrifices were made, but the peace which many heroes of both tribes gave their life for did not come. With his final breath, using all the remaining power of his divine being, Bethuser put a curse on his rebellious children: "Unless one tribe is completely wiped from the face of the world, the entire Servastal will be covered in ice and all living beings in it will wither and die."
As years passed and each new winter grew colder than the last, as the food is getting scarce, the schism is born between the two tribes which had previously lived in peace and harmony for centuries and fought against the God of Madness side-by-side. Now, a new generation of heroes is needed to save Servastal and its people both from the freezing death and from themselves.
In this RP players play the above mentioned heroes: people who, for whatever reason, strive to solve the situation in which the two tribes have found themselves in. Failure means that the two kindred peoples will have to genocide each other or die of starvation and cold.
THE CITY OF MONSTERS Modern Horror
You just died and have arrived in the City. Yes, that's its name. The City. The one which eternally stands in the afterlife between the realms of Heaven and Hell. No, it is not Purgatory, it is a world spawned from greed into which your soul had a dubious fortune to end up in. This place is now your afterlife, you can't be redeemed out of it. It is a world which is Hell compared to Heaven and Heaven compared to Hell, so look back on your past life on Earth and decide if you're lucky or not.
Now that you are here, however, you need to survive. The City is inhabited by monsters, most of which were once humans as well, but it changed them and it will change you. The Game is set, souls are the currency and anyone with a week of seniority will try to devour you. Quite literally, in some cases.
You better learn the new rules fast kid because you definitely ain’t in Kansas anymore.
Although I originally made this RP on another forum long before the anime aired, anyone who watched Kekkai Sensen will have a good idea about its look and feel. Players are recently deceased mortal Earthlings, with absolutely no ties to anything supernatural, who have ended up in the City after their death. There will be no info about the City, PCs will have to explore it themselves and find their place in it. Everyone starts from zero, with only the skills they acquired in their previous life on Earth and a supernatural power that each new inhabitant of the City receives upon arrival.
TOILS OF SYSYPHUS Post-Apocalypse
It has been 50 years since Sisyphus became operative. One generation of the convicts has already served its time and now their bodies enrich the soil while the fresh meat comes to take their place in the grinder that is the Penal Colony. It is a place where scum of the galaxy comes to meet their end. Sisyphus doesn't care what brought one here, what crime has one committed to be condemned for lifetime to its radioactive wastelands, to its dark, shadowy ruins, to the blood-soaked streets of its only inhabited city. Sisyphus has no mercy, it doesn't see difference between week or strong, child or elder, man or woman, Terran or Xeno, it will swallow them all.
What is it that you did which earned you such fate? Was it worth it? Ask yourself these questions. Remember the faces of all those you met in your life and know you are dead to them. Remember all the places you have visited for soon your entire world will be a dead planet. Entertain yourself as you sit on the ship which is quickly taking you to your final destination.
This one is a mix of Stalker series and the first Gothic game. PCs are convicts taken from all over the galaxy and put on a planet which was thoroughly nuked in a war. Similarly to the City of Monsters above, players start from zero, no items and only their skills (no super powers here) and will have to eke out a living on this planet or die trying.
I'd be interested in doing the post-apocalyptic prisoner thing, as long as I can be a truly-good-at-heart political prisoner. Specifically, I sorta wanna do like some sort of cybernetic monk or something. Really religious type, quiet, unassuming, wanders the wastes trying to right wrongs and kick evil ass, but generally failing miserably on the second one. That sound alright?
Edit: Obviously the kinda-cyborg thing is totes optional, but I just like stuff like that. I can remove that from the concept if you want.

Yeah, that concept is okay, though the players would start just arriving at Sisyphus so any cybernetic parts would be bare-bones, things you really need.
