Hey guys. So I got bored and decided to come up with 25 RP prompts to throw out to the community. I hope you guys enjoy and that it's helpful. Because I did this on my IPod I'll have to go back and add the tags (horror, action, etc.) that I wanted to later. Enjoy!

Ps- I know I have a few grammatical errors. Especially with dependent and independent clauses in the same sentence. If you see one and it bugs you then PM me what and where and I will fix it!

The Box

This is an expire mental RP concept. All characters have been trapped in a box that has sunk to the ocean's floor. No light and a small area make this a speech based RP. Oh, and did I forget to mention you have 2 - 3 hours of air and no way of escape? How will your character face their death?

Searching for Voices

The second of three experimental RPs, this one has no speech from your characters. A scientist, Mage, or other, has stolen your ability to speak. Now you must venture, voiceless, out on a quest to find your speech.

Truth in the rabbit hole
Many years have passed since the malevolent Alice terrorized Wonderland with her evil rule. Now, attempting to repair their lands and reunite their peoples, the rulers of New Wonderland have ordered the execution any any new comers from the portal that connects their land to ours. After you and your friend(s) accidentally fall through this portal you find yourselves in the mix of this new world. Will you follow your predecessor, run and escape with your lives, or be accepted in to their society?

The veil of evil
After moving to a new town everything seems to be going well. That is, until you start seeing glimpses of monsters in the shadows and as some every day people. Quickly you learn that an evil force exists in this town, and it's human inhabitants are oblivious to it. All except you. Can you lift this veil of evil and save thousands of lives?

Nature's Wrath

A treant seems like a cool creature. But what if it was blood thirsty and on a murderous rampage? This is exactly what happens as trees come to life and wage war against man kind. Will you survive? Will you stop it?

Virus and Cure

After one of the characters contracts an obscure ailment, he/she is told that it is fatal and they have no cure. However, on an isolated mountain in an undeveloped country there exists a rare type of flower. The pollen of this flower may be able to cure this fatal ailment. As the group travels to get it reports inform them that the virus has become a global pandemic, infecting one third of the world's population. Now more than the fate of one friend rests on your shoulders. It's the fate of billions of people.

Caravan

Either as merchants or guards, you are part of a caravan that is carrying valuable trade goods. You must face bandits, highwaymen, wild animals, and harsh terrain and weather if you wish for these goods to bring you a large pay day.

Flight 131...Up
The flight path of Flight 131 goes right through the Bermuda Triangle. When a storm wreaks havoc on the plane it starts to fall... Upwards. The plane crashes on land in a parallel dimension. It is up to the passengers to get back, if they can.

Child's Nightmare
This was a really weird dream of mine when I was ten.

Dolls have come to life and seek the demise of the human race. If this wasn't bad enough, small carnivorous lizards have begun to plague the land. This may be the most awkward apocalypse ever.

Health Bar
Obsessed with video games? Try this concept! Your character(s) wake up with a red bar running from the wrist to the crease in your arm. You find out this is a health bar for your person. Now when you are hurt you can see the bar drop, and can raise it again only through food. How do your characters cope?

Whispering Shadows

An evil lurks in the darkness in your town. It's whispers drive it's victims to insanity. Can you uncover the mystery and stop this evil, or will you become another victim in the psych ward?

Love Letters

We all love to feel special. But what if those love letters took it too far? What if they became threatening? With the help of a friend find out who the stalker is that is sending you these troubling love letters before they make true on their threats.

Vanish

When you develop the ability to make things vanish you may find it cool. But what happens when you can't control it and you make things disappear that you did not wish to make disappear? Can you and your friend(s) find out how to stop it?

Center of Death

A small meteor has collided with earth and made a crater much too large for it's size. With a mist covering the crater no visual has been established on the meteor or what is inside the crater. Every investigative team that has entered has lost radio contact. There is only one more group to send in. You and your partners. Your elite skills may be what saves you and helps you destroy whatever is in the center of all this death. Good luck.

Split mind

The last of the three experimental RP concepts, split mind gives RP an intense co-op feeling. By some means, magic, science, etc., the minds of your characters have been merged into one body. Rather than one mind being dominant, both minds fight for control and often take control in spurts (for RP sake). Can you cooperate with your partner well enough to solve this issue?

The last few Moments

It is said that in the last moment before death that your brain activity spikes. Now what if this was your sub conscience being sent back before you died in order to have a chance to stop yourself from whatever action led to your death? Here's a twist, when you are sent back you start where you were born, not where you died (twist contributed by Royalex318).

The Color Red

Little known fact, bulls do not attack because of the color red. This, however, is not the case after you or one of your friends is injected with a mysterious solution. Now you/they go into a violent frenzy at the sight of this color. This will make finding the cure just a smidge tougher. Good luck!

In the abyss

A large fissure has opened up on the earth's surface releasing hordes of terrifying monsters. You are one of the soldiers drafted to push back the lines and kill everything that comes from that fissure. You're in for the fight of your life, soldier.

What the baby!?

Your character's lives are turned upside down when a baby mysteriously shows up at your door step. How will you deal with the responsibility of an infant being thrust into your hands?

Personal Storm

No matter where you go there is a storm that follows you through your equally harsh life. The worse you feel, the more violent the storm becomes. Can you find your key to happiness, and in turn end this never ending storm?

Assassins

You're an assassin. Take contracts, kill targets, and get money. It's the good life for the mercenaries that hide in the dark. Just make sure you don't blow a mission or you might wind up dead.

The last magic

All magic in the world has ended, except for yours. Now you hold the power to bring it back or keep it. Now the choice is yours. Will you go through great lengths to bring magic back to your world, or will you use it to rise to power?

Healer

You were born with the ability to heal others through a select few 'spells'. After hiding this for so long you are finally forced to reveal your powers in order to heal your friend. Now you and your friend(s) are on the run as scientists place a bounty on your body.

Wrongly Accused
This concept follows that of an already existing movie, the name of which I don't remember.

You and your friend(s) have been found guilty of a crime you had nothing to do with. As people work to prove your innocence on the outside, you and your friend(s) must survive your time on the inside.

Treasure Map

Do you have an eye for treasure? What about mysteries? Combine the two and go on an epic hunt for a forgotten treasure as you battle grave robbers, cannibal, and whatever deadly traps have been set all in the name of gold and glory!
When I saw this I literally gasped...

I actually had a similar idea for one of my most downtrodden characters a while ago but never thought much more about it till now. I'd love to do this RP with someone, it doesn't matter who or what kind of alignment their character uses. Just know that I am very active and can post multiple times a day but would request someone who could reply at the very least once a day. I'd also prefer it if my partner(s) would be able to write legibly, I dislike having to strain myself over poor grammar and punctuation.

I'm thinking close to modern day (give or take 100 years) in a any type of genre. I can mold my character to fit better with your character(s). PM me if you are interested. I'll post this in the "Looking for RP" forums if you'd rather comment there.

Thank you for reminding me of this RP idea Gamer, you can join to since it was an idea of yours as well. An open and standing invite.

I'm glad this helped! This is the first in several threads I've thought about creating just in case anyone can benefit from them. I'll eventually add more concepts to the list.

Thank you for the invitation! I'll have to look over my characters and see if I have any good matches for this sort of RP. To be honest, I've never done this sort of RP (I'm used to combat and fantasy!). I'll catch you on the thread you made!
I think all of your ideas are good.... less then three!
I would really like to use the Voice searching one and the Wonderland one XD not gonna lie.
