I've also had a roleplay bug lately that no roleplay has been able to satiate, as it seems many of the ones I've taken the time to construct a character for have died off rather quickly, in most cases due to the GM and/or other players disappearing. D:
But with this roleplay bug itching at the back of my mind, I've been tossing around a number of ideas, old and new. Have a look~
#1: Nightmare Before Christmas [Dark/Mystery]
A Halloween roleplay just in time for the season! But this is not the childhood Nightmare Before Christmas you're familiar with. A small but steadily growing population of Halloween Town citizens are behaving abnormally, savagely turning on their own kind. When a pair of human teenagers stumble into town, they decide to help solve the mystery - after all, if the feral citizens are still around by Halloween, they'll easily be able to escape and wreak havoc on the human world.
Original characters only. The two humans and a number of citizens will be available to play.
#2: Wizard of Oz [Grimdark/Dark/Mystery]
Nearly a millennium after Dorothy's adventure, and Oz is a very, very different place. A much darker, more perilous place, ravaged by centuries of war and populated with the monsters left in conflict's wake. A deadly disease like some demonic form of rabies has been sweeping through the land. It's been spreading so quickly and making the infected so dangerous that most have come to accept it as a part of life; yet another hazard in Oz to be thoroughly avoided, another chip away at the average life span. Now a group has been called together to hunt down the source of this disease and put a stop to it... or die trying.
Original characters only. Characters can be human, tinman, scarecrow, or lionfolk.
#3: Togainu no Chi [Survival/Drama/Romance/Boys Love]
In the distant future of Japan, the city of Toshima is the ruins of what was once Tokyo. The war-torn and abandoned city was converted into an arena for a deadly tournament called Igra. Criminals - and anyone who wants in - are set loose in the city to survive on their own there, with participation in Igra optional, though anyone who doesn't participate is likely to be killed by participants anyways if they don't make themselves useful. Igra is a fighting tournament where landing on your back means losing, and winners are allowed to do whatever they wish to losers - which often results in death. Participants receive dog tags which bear the images of playing cards - these tags can be used as currency and are also collected as winnings, and whoever collects a royal flush wins the right to fight Il Re, the supposedly toughest in the city... And whoever beats Il Re is allowed to leave Toshima alive with a clean slate.
Original characters and some canon characters, all male.
#4: Mental Facility [Drama/Romance/Boys Love]
Sullivan Correctional Facility frowns on the term asylum. The staff prefers to view their patients as people in need of help, not as crazies to be locked up and stashed away... But their idea of "help" is in many cases a twisted one. The head of the facility and a number of other staff members have a fluctuating moral code at best, and sometimes it almost seems as if they're driving patients further off the deep end rather than pulling them out of it. Some patients are earnest about continuing "treatment" in the hopes of getting better, while others have lost all illusion this correctional facility has any intention of correcting them, and spend their every spare thought planning escape or even rebellion. But such an endeavor would require serious cooperation and focus, and not all the patients have their eyes on the goal...
Original characters, all male. Staff and patients will be available to play.

So, here I am in Interest Checks checking for interest. c:
These would all be mature, "literate" roleplays and I would be looking for dedicated players capable of keeping up on that level, not to mention well-developed and interesting characters to play with. <3
I would love to hear all manner of feedback on these ideas, and will take questions pertaining to any of them. I'd also like to hear which you would be most interested in taking part in; whichever seems to hold the most interest, I will set to work on making happen ASAP! n_n
Hope to hear from you all soon~! <3
