I have two different ideas here, both brought back from the dead from a website I used to RP on. I've been looking to do some GMing recently and have figured these 2 ideas to be the best bets for something wonderful.
I only plan on doing one, so it's which ever draws the more interest.

The Lead
It's been about a month since Damien first decided to record himself sing. What he heard from himself sent shivers down his spines. Surely it wasn't HIM that was on that recording. Oh come on man! That's unbelievable! Such a passion in there he could hear. Sure, there were several moments where his voice did the absolutely WRONG thing, but most of the recording sounded like angels fucked his mother and that's how he was born. So with that, he found a new dream for his future. He wanted to make a life around singing. So what else is a guy to do but to try and write songs and play them right? Well,... He wasn't exactly good at anything other than singing and writing. He couldn't give himself a guitar and learn or anything, not really anyway...
"Well. When you can't do something by yourself, find people to help."
Damien knew there was one place he could go to do that. It was an old restaurant in his town, a rather small town at that, and it had community spotlights every Friday and Saturday night. If he could keep a watch out for talented people in his general style he might be able to get some people to help him further his dreams, and their dreams at the same time. It's the start of the summer, so if he was going to do anything he would do it now.
So with that, he finds himself signing up to sing on the last day of may.
The Band
One by one a youth finds themselves up on that stage in the Mainstreet Diner, or somewhere in the crowd. One has lived in the town their entire life, one just moved here, and one finds himself visiting a friend in the restaurant. Little do they know they're going to meet a dreamer who offers them a way to escape from their lives and lose themselves to a dream. But first they have to get there, they have to get ready to break off any reservations and make a leap of faith.
The Idea
It's so cliche, a bunch of random strangers getting together to form a band. But isn't that what makes it so great? The Great American Band Story is ready to claim another set of musicians. It's going to be quite a ride though, cause these things never happen smoothly, not even in the movies, that is, unless you work for Disney.
Just want 3-4 people :3
Guitarist/Back-Up Vocals
Drummer
Bassist or etc.

I came up with an idea for a sandboxish roleplay with a rather original twist. I'm very happy I came up with this, because I've never seen anything remotely similar done before. Ok. I lie, there have been a few works similar, but none I know of in this certain way.
My plan is to have exactly one character. Or rather, one person.
Weird right? Well let me explain.
There is a world known as the dreamscape. The dreamscape is... Well, a weird world. The dreamscape is responsible for producing a race of completely human creatures for some fantastical world of unknown origin. The dreamscape acts as a sort of "womb" for these humanoids as they grow up in there. They live enclosed in their own little dream, their only little world. But it's only them, and them, and more of them...
Well, in a sense, it's multiple iterations of the same person. But there is only one true person, and they are influenced by all other iterations of that one, single person.
The period of influence, or the period of time they are in the dreamscape before they are "born" is thought to be the equivalent of five years. In these five years the person decides multiple facets of their appearance and personality. They also go through a rapid growth from childhood to adulthood to which they finally "die" to the dream world and are born elsewhere.
I figured I'd find around five other people to work with me in developing a man. We'd spend the entire RP talking to each other and controlling his iterations and trying to get him to decide on how he wants to live, how he wants to be. Well, you guys will try to convince him, I will play the true iteration.
If I get at least three other people willing to attempt to work something out I can make a thread and we will discuss how we want this to work.
Could probably work as the ground work for an RP in the world this character is eventually born in, giving everyone a chance to interact with said character with a character of their own! ^^
