Well, I've taken the submissions I've received, plus added a few of my own to fill it out a bit.
The titles on the RP's are only temporary and for the purpose of identifying them in the poll.
I have taken the liberty of reorganizing the wording of a couple RP's for better understanding.
They are listed below: Please vote for the one you most would like to participate in. None of this "but I like all!". Sorry, you MUST PICK ONE.
Thank you.
Living in Darkness: A SW New Republic RP
General plot summary/setting: An RP about the fringe life in Star Wars. Smugglers, bounty hunters, what have you. Set in the Corporate Sector outside of both the Empire and New Republic. Starting approx. 12 years after RotJ.
It has been 12 years since the deaths of Palpatine and Vader. 7 years since Thrawn. 5 years since Daala returned and 3 since she left again. The New Republic is still fragile from it's early battles and rebuilds and licks its wounds. Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy thrives as more new students are found throughout the galaxy.
But outside of the Republic in sectors of the galaxy, that were disconnected even from the Empire, for people who live alone, life goes on as normal. They ignore the Republic, caring only about themselves. Yet as the Empire crumbles around them, these people will try to make a profit from any source.
Then there are the others. Those that choose to hide from everyone. Unseen, unknown, and forgotten...
Characters: smugglers, bounty hunters, profiteers, mercenaries, etc.

Clashing Cultures: Modern Real-life RP
General setting/summary: The timeline is the 1950s. During this time, many Mexicans are moving into the U.S. for jobs or perhaps only commuting. This RP will center around the culture of that area (northern Mexico, Baja California, very southern Cali., southern Nevada, etc.). The exact city will be decided later (probably Los Angeles, in a Mex./Amer. suburb). Basically, the general idea is what was going on during that era with these people, exploring culture, social relationships, possible racial tensions with the whites of L.A.
We’ll just see what happens and go from there.
Characters: Various families of Mex./Amer. origin, probably a few other races as well (friends and even enemies), etc.
…
Heroes and Villains: A superhero RP
General plot summary/setting: Welcome to Brightvale, a small city located about halfway between Metropolis and Gotham. Fairly typical for a city it's size, it has been without either supervillian or superhero presence for quite some time. All this seems like it may be about to change however, as several people have reported glimpses of what is believed to be Superman. After all, nobody else wears such a distinctive red and blue costume...
Characters: Mainly superheroes of course, but don't be afraid to play a villain. Actually, I'd kinda like it if someone did as it'd give us a real opponent to watch out for. And don't forget to have some kind of secret identity so you can run into people out of costume too.
....
Era of Dragons: A Stone Age Era Fantasy RP
General plot summary/setting: It is the time of dragons. Everything is glorious and at the highest it’s ever been. Timeline: Somewhere before Bronze age during the Stone Age, so no modern weapons have been developed. They only go so far as weapons fashioned from stone and wood.
Dragon-tenders are special humans endowed with the ability to talk and to tend to dragons. Few family bloodlines come with this ability. Dangerous and solitary creatures, dragons usually do not go near humans. The tenders are the only exception. The bond between a tender and his dragon is unbreakable. Once on joins with his dragon, he does so forever, until either one of them dies. Usually a tender will join with a dragon when he comes of age (10-12 ish).
But sadly and suddenly, the dragons are disappearing. So are their dragon-tenders. The tenders who are left have decided to find out what has been happening.
Characters: Probably a couple dragons, dragon-tenders, other adventurers, etc.
....
Galaxy Sterilization: A SW New Republic RP
General plot summary/setting: Post-NJO/pre-Dark Nest. The Yuuzhan Vong have surrendered but there are some that still desire to fight, with them are the remains of the Peace Brigade, afraid to return to their homes because they will be labeled as traitors.
Characters: Could start with a team intent to taking them out and go from there.
…
Getting’ By: Western Real-life RP
General setting/summary: It’s the Old West. People from the east are moving west. Some for a better life, others for money and still others for adventure. (Think Bonanza, not Little House on the Prairie).
This will focus around a town and the surrounding farms and ranches. The people living on the outside come into town to buy supplies, trade and just catch up with friends. Town comes complete with trading post and saloon. On the outskirts is a train depot where people come and leave from.
Characters: Ranchers and farmers (the old timers), new families and adventures (new to the town), maybe a sheriff and everything that goes along with that.
Okay.... the one with the most votes will win...
I hope this poll is pretty explainatory.
I tried to get a variety of genres.
The creator of the winning RP will come up with a post to use for the summary in the begining of the character thread... and then we will go from there.
It is completely up to the creator whether they would like to garner input from the rest of us.
Happy voting.
