I've been itching for another attempt at an RP, preferably with someone as the Co-Gm for support. I've come up with a few ideas I'd like to share, and I saw a thread like this and figured I'd give it a shot:
That's pretty much it. I'm still trying to figure out the mechanics and plot lines of the RPs, so it might be a while before the top pick goes up. Comments and suggestions are more than welcome!
The world of Leguardia is a picturesque land with a variety of climates and terrain, ranging from frozen wastes to searing hot deserts to wide green plains to dense forests. A variety of races populate this world each with their own societies and cultures. It is a fantastic and beautiful world... But is is also a land dangerously on the edge of it's own destruction.
It it said that thousands of years ago, another world existed in where Leguardia now stands. Not much is known about it, only that this nameless land was destroyed by some terrible cataclysm that rebuilt the world to its current state. And now it seems that Leguardia is heading towards it's own end. Despite Leguardia's outward facade of peace and harmony, underneath the surface it is full of turmoil.
The use of technology may have been both helpful and profitable, but have also created pollution and hard working conditions. Organized religion and spiritual beliefs are there to give peace to those who believe, but have also given rise to zealousness and extremists who will kill anyone whose beliefs differ from their own. The upper class seem more interested in throwing lavish feasts and attending fancy balls while the lower class toil away in hard conditions, and barriers between classes and races have lead to almost endless conflicts.
And beneath everything, something... is stirring. Shadows of the old world who seek to devour the new world, perhaps in vengeance for the end of their own and the jealousy of this world's existence. Dark cults have even arisen to spurn them on in hopes of ending this corrupt world and creating something new from the ashes once again. The way things are going, the world may end very soon.
But not all hope is lost. Fate has conspired to bring together individuals from all walks of life, lost souls left behind by the rest of the world. The abandoned, the abused, the betrayed, all must work together to save a land that mistrusts them.
But what does it say about the future of Leguardia that it lies in the hands of a group of outcasts and misfits with no one to trust but each other?

More or less a character-driven story with a bunch of misfit characters on the run and drawn into a much-larger conflict... though that's I I have right now. For this, I'm shooting for 7-8 characters,

Welcome to Horizon City, one of the premier hot spots for the world's superheroes. Here, ordinary humans can watch as their favorite heroes fight crime, ranging from stopping bank robberies to fighting dastardly villains. And it is only natural that there is lots of criminals for the heroes to fight.
And it is here that the premier superhero group the Peacekeepers make their base, guarding the city from any threat within or without the city itself. But as of late, the Peacekeepers have a new method of combating superpowered crime: namely the rehabilitation of young metahuman offenders by putting them through a sort of "community service" helping out with the community. A small group of viable subjects have been picked as the control group, with some of the members of the Peacekeepers working as handlers to keep them in line.
It's all set to go... but shortly after the program begins, the Peacekeepers suddenly vanish on a trip to outer space. With the city's main protectors gone and crime steadily rising, can this ragtag band of ex-criminals and their handlers be able to stem the tide and find the missing Peacekeepers?

An RP based off Superhero comics, possibly somewhat episodic with escalating adventures, especially after the main superhero team vanishes. I and the co-GM will be acting as the "handlers" to the rest of the team, which is about 5 or 6 players.

By the late 20th Century, mankind has come farther than they ever dreamed. Society had been raised to a high level of standards that was previously unheard of. Humanity came together and celebrated in their unity. However, when one is so far up, this only means there is a long way to fall.
January 1st, 1990, was the day when the world was changed forever, on a day now known to history as "The Omega Event". A mysterious energy wave of unknown origin swept over the entire planet, and the world was never the same after that.
During the Event, nearly 70% of the world's population was killed, whether due to the disasters and chaos in the wake of the fallout, or due to the stress placed on their bodies from transformation caused by the energy. All of the plant and animal life was affected, but a good percentage of it was transformed, becoming larger, more powerful and hostile, and, in some cases, even more intelligent. As for the remainder of humanity, about half that number gained superhuman powers from the radiation. These people became known as "Omegas".
In the resulting chaos, many cities were laid to waste. In response to this, the government reacted swiftly, creating task forces to handle the situation. It took a long time, but in the end, peace was restored, at the cost of many personal freedoms. The lasting effects of the Omega Event was studied endlessly by the world's greatest minds, partially to try and figure out what caused it (without much success)... but mainly to find ways to control and contain those transformed by the energy.
In time, cities were rebuilt, but at the behest of big corporations, who saw fit to rebuild the cities the way they wanted to leaving sections of the big cities to rot under neglect and gang rule, while the upper class and the remnants of humanity sequestered themselves in their shining towers, looking down upon those they despised.
But now, 5 long years after the Omega Event, a ragtag bunch of super powered misfits will band together to face the cruel world around them, and unwittingly come across the very source of their strange abilities, and possibly even stopping another great disaster from taking place...

Basically, this is a revamp of my very first RP, which I admit I didn't think out too well. I'm shooting for about 6 or 7 players. Maybe I'll have a character in, I'm not sure yet.
