Thread: New Obscure Plots: Oubliette and Relic [MxF, Longterm Romantic PM RP]

RE Waiting for an echo under construction - please don't post yet Storyline Ideas Note - All my characters will be 21. Unless necessary for the continuity of the SL, I want to play opposite characters that are 21. That being said, for no reason will I play anyone younger than 18. 1. Gift or Curse Superhero SL, sort of If she had a superhero name it would be Serendipity. All her life she has had incredible good luck. But there is a cruel flipside to her gift all people around her have incredible bad luck. Recluse, and resigned to her fate she meets someone who tries to withstand the horrible coincidences and rotten luck that seems to befall them. This is a very funny SL to do , lots of embarrassing situations arise due to her luck and her affects on others. Potential plot She is the victim of some crime which a male character has to investigate - funny slips ups happened during the crime and while the male character is looking at the scene, interviewing her. Male character could be a detective or a male superhero in such a story-verse. When I originally played the SL before the f x m characters were long time online pals, each with reasons not to be out and about in the world, each with hidden powers and the SL starts when the male character learning of his powers early college age and he comes to visit the girl but she is too scared to let him around her because of what might happen to him. The male character had super strength so he was able to withstand all of her bad luck. 2. Mix between Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Dead Like Me Open Ended So a person dies. Then what? I would like to play with alternative afterlife ideas. Something where the character with some or all of hisher memories of life intact says to the effect of huh, everybody everywhere got it wrongPerhaps its an interaction with the recently deceased and a tour guide for the land beyond. Or something else. This, like many of my ideas, is very fluid and open for change. Help me develop it! 3. Vague Idea Help me come up with something based on this song lyric Through the Glass Stone Sour I'm looking at you through the glass Don't know how much time has passed It feels like forever But no one ever tells you that forever Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head. This could be a outsider SL, or a stalker SL though does not have to be a kidnap or sex related stalking - sure there are lots of motivations for stalking someone, lets come up with a unique one. 4. Too much Lockup Raw modern or futuristic, prison escapee x prison employee Time in the near to far futureRiots and economic pressures in the United States and other law abiding countries has made the 21st century prison a thing of the past. Now, with a mix of parent state and no tolerance policies developed by conservative governments have created a alternative to the revolving door penitentiary system. Location Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Once a small autonomous country, economic bankruptcy allowed it to be bought, stripped, and converted into the solution for a modern nation's criminal population isolate the criminals, give them no technology and the very minimum of supplies, and let them kill each other to their heart's content. Arrival They get dropped in to the middle of the ocean and told to swim. Can't swim? Tough. They arrive to whatever kill and be killed environment created by the criminal hierarchy. Supplies Supplies are air dropped into the water off shore once a month. No plastic or metal allowed. Monitoring Satellite video feeds run non-stop from a ring of elevated walls and buildings five miles off the coast. This is where the bulk of the correction's staff work and live. Personnel monitor activities, direct supplies, and thwart any attempts at escape. Consisting of hundreds of staff members, there is also an auxiliary staff that lives and works on the ring to maintain the community families of staff members, chefs, cleaning staff, etc. Escape? Shark filled and fed waters, and high powered, long distance weapons trained on the shores have allowed the facility to run with a clear record for more than 50 years. The plot My character is a worker on the ring as a staff member or part of the support staff.Your character an inmate perhaps innocent or not who escapes and infiltrates the ring, constantly trying to either destroy the system or just return back to civilization with a cleared name. Now this is a cliched story line but every so often it creeps into my dreams. Help me make it more realisticless cliche, won't you? 5. Amelie Inspired modern, mxf, Open Ended Ever see the movie? Two quirky romantics met in a unique way and then spend their time looking for each other again while still keep their ideal dream world alive in their own mindlives. This would be a big lead up SL, lots of chance meetings and cut-scenes before anything really happens between the two characters. 6. Modern Day Rapunzel Yeah, I saw Tangled, so what? modern or modern-fantasy, mxf, Open Ended Long hair optional. This would be the fabled damsel in distress SL with a modern twist and perhaps a not so distressed damsel. 7. Oubliette modern or modern-fantasy, mxf, Open Ended Oubliette a dungeon with the only entrance or exit being a trap door in the ceiling. The word comes from French meaning place of forgetting. This SL could be taken one of two ways a A character finds themselves in an actual oubliette think in the movies Labyrinth or Violence of the Lambs - no lotion please and with no physical way out has to manipulate negotiate with hisher captor to escapeendure. b a figurative oubliette. One or more characters in a socialromantic situation that seemingly has no way out. 8. Relic modern or modern-fantasy, mxf, Open Ended Oubliette a dungeon with the only entrance o, mxf, Open Ended An anthropology doctoral student takes a stint in an archaeology internship overseas doing the grunt work for an actual Ph.D. in to be determined location. After months of digging, dusting, and sifting she comes across an old relic of a by gone civilization and with it unleashes a cursed spirit. This could go a number of ways a She unlocks a spirit or god that interacts with her. b she is transported to another time location place of holding where the spirit or god is being kept c the spirit overtakes her and changes her and the storyline consists of her returning to her normal life a very changed person, interacting with loved onesa new acquaintance with a very different personality than before. 9. Snowed In modern, mxf, Open Ended Two strangers get stuck snowed in airport, bus station, only nearby motel still open and find each other their only company. What will transpire and how will it change their lives?
