Intravenous - May 24th 2022 10:56
Hello everyone! I have been wanting to role-play some Sci-Fi for a while and have reunited some of my favorite hooks. Any pairing is doable, but MxM has an edge.
Those are more general ideas, we can discuss details in private. Feel free to add me as a friend. Still looking.
(If you have a different idea or suggestions, I'm down for doing that too).
1. Our characters’ spaceship has landed on an unknown planet and there is data showing lifeforms who have created artistic structures. An artist (muse A) wants to make first contact with the beings through art, while the mercenary (muse B) has a rougher approach in mind.
2. In 1962, despite his best efforts, U.S. President John F. Kennedy was unable to reach an agreement with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, which led to the launching of a single nuclear-tipped ballistic missile into the southeastern United States. The resulting detonation and fallout devastated everything south of Tennessee, and for the following five decades no one dared venture into that region. Rumors describing zombie-like creatures roaming the nuclear wasteland had persisted for years in border towns, but the stories had not been confirmed. A federal agent (muse A) is the only one who dared take the job, since his career was in jeopardy anyway. Muse B was part of the new society that emerged from the record-levels of radiation, and the first living being to come in contact with Muse A within that area.
3. News breaks across the world that a team of scientists has created a portal to an Earth-like planet in another universe. Interestingly, this planet is a carbon copy of Earth in terms of its history and its population with only a few differences here and there between the two planets. When a delegation is sent from this parallel world to Earth and is interviewed on TV, Muse A is surprised to find out that one of them looks and acts exactly like their late husband (Muse B). Muse A quickly pack his bags and travel to the portal, hoping to reconnect with their long-lost love who has no clue who they are. Soon, the higher-ups from each planet start to plot the heist of resources that have run out in their own land, risking warfare.
4. Before the Earth was made uninhabitable due to climatic disaster, a group of survivors evacuated the planet on a spaceship (including Muse A’s ancestors). Generations later, it's finally time to send a team down to test for habitability, but upon landing it’s discovered that there were survivors who never left (Muse B’s ancestors) and now lived an almost entirely nontechnical life. They see the returning humans and their technology with suspicion, afraid story might repeat itself.
5. In order to be granted access to unlimited funding, and raise some credibility not to lose his license, an ingenious, audacious doctor (muse A), in conjunction with the government, offers a new program—they'll attempt to cure whatever ails Muse B and maybe even improve their abilities through the use of experimental genetic manipulation. The downside? The procedure may permanently harm or even kill them. Muse B never thought of themselves as the guinea pig type, but the thought of potentially curing their genetic disorder surely is enticing. They might leave the lab with an extra head, but hey, it's all in the name of science, right?
6. Biohackers (including Muse A) have stolen DNA samples from the world's most prominent leaders in order to clone them and eventually replace them on the world stage. As the Physician to the President, Muse B stumble onto this conspiracy after performing a DNA analysis of the President and finding trace elements of this cloning procedure. You then contact other doctors of world leaders and ask them to run the same test. Most of the physicians encounter similar results except for the Prime Minister of Great Britain. You know that this may be the last opportunity to identify the biohackers, so you fly over to London and set a trap before the last prominent world leader is replaced.
7. Muse A is an officer and one of the first explorers sent outside the settled galaxy. The Federation has colonized all the inner planets over the last few centuries and has been greedily leeching their resources dry. Time is up, and he must find a new planet for humanity to drain. He and his crew were chosen for their resourcefulness, courage, and skills, but also for their expendability. None of them are fond of the Federation, and they know it. To ensure loyalty, they offered entire colonies to everyone on board. The crew is a mixed bunch: old war criminals, disgruntled military retirees, and brilliant kids raised too rich or lazy to do anything with their time. Somehow Muse A managed to hold them all together, but things are starting to change. The third planet he search is a miracle. The planet has drinkable water, breathable air, perfect gravitational pull, and harmless delicious-tasting animals. It's perfectly designed for human life, and Muse A can't imagine turning it over to the Federation. When he proposes cutting all communication and hoping the Federation gives you up as dead––and, thus, leaves the planet alone––many, but not all, in the crew agree with you. Some are still loyal to the Federation, however (including Muse B).
8. Muse A is extremely excited for their first skydive. However, when they jump out of the airplane, a wormhole opens inexplicably beneath them. They fall into another sky, presumably on another planet. After six minutes of panicked falling, they make a clumsy landing and are greeted by hordes of cheering aliens. They appear to be staunch believers in a prophecy which states that their god will "descend from the sky with wings of an entirely different sort." At least, that's how the translation works out. Their technology is far superior but due to local superstitions, they've never taken to the air. Now it's up to Muse A to convince them not only that they are not a god (and that their entire religion is bonkers), but to get their help to create a wormhole to return to Earth. This grows more difficult when, out of all of their 37 gods, Muse A turns out to be the one they believe suffers from amnesia. They see it as their solemn duty to educate their new-found God’s reincarnated form until they reach the enlightenment needed to reclaim their identity as their leader. Muse B is assigned as a guide that’ll help with the memory issues, but it’s a bit skeptical.
9. Muse A, an elite spy has decided they had enough of risking their life and plans to escape into the anonymity of a virtual reality world. They have all the tools, skills, and knowledge to pull it off. But what their country's government didn't tell them when they trained them was that Muse A was implanted with sophisticated virtual tracking software that can only be turned off if they die… unless they can find Muse B, the engineer who programmed them in the first place, and could really use a fresh start.
10. Cybernetically enhanced bounty hunters use their sophisticated technology to locate bail jumpers—meaning, you can't hide, or at least, not for long. Muse A, a young bounty hunter has made quite a name for themselves—no target has ever gotten away from them. Then, they receive a contract for Muse B, a former lover from their youth, who's skipped a bond hearing for a murder case. When the bounty hunter catches up to him, Muse B swears to be innocent.
11. In its last days, the Earth has become mostly uninhabitable, with small areas that are located farthest from the sun offering some respite for surviving humans. Cannibalism is a threat due to lack of arable land, as are large animal predators who rule the sparse tundra. Muse A is among a group of starving survivors, searching for a home within this wasteland, and possibly a way to save their group. During one of their rounds for threats at night-time, they meet Muse B, a roaming stranger who's all about the benefits of eating human flesh.
12. Most of Earth's coastal cities become submerged because of an unexpected radical rise in sea levels. Families across the world are forced to move away from the oceans, and shanty towns filled with refugees soon surround inland cities. Muse A lives in one of these towns near Las Vegas and is treated as an unwanted trespasser by the locals. Work is hard to come by, and hunger and disease run rampant. The government has begun classifying refugees as "secondary citizens," and starts moving them to massive temporary buildings deep in the desert. Muse A is guaranteed a better life and a path to full citizenship after Muse B, who’s in the same situation, claims to know a family who’d give them refugee, but the barbed wire fences and security guards make them a bit suspicious.
13. The murder of a regional governor who was en route to the capital planet has caused an uproar throughout the galactic empire. As the newest detective in the royal police department, Muse A is surprised when the chief assigns this high-profile case to them. They have a sneaking suspicion that their inexperience is the reason why the higher-ups want you to be in charge of the investigation; they probably hope that the case will go nowhere. However, as you follow the leads and navigate the seedy underbelly of the capital planet, you realize that this is not just a murder, but an assassination, and that the emperor himself might be the culprit… muse B, the pawn hired to do the dirty work, might have something to say about it.
14. Human beings are prone to health problems such as back pain, vision loss, and knee issues because of structural imperfections. These body parts can be replaced with superior artificial parts, which only the wealthy can afford. As part of the working class, and a spokesperson from the syndicate, Muse A has convinced employers and the government to help cover the costs for workers (including Muse B). Unfortunately, workers have quickly become indentured servants, legally bound to years of service to repay the cost of bodily repairs, and an uprising might be around the corner.
15. In an effort to rid society of its criminals, scientists have discovered mind transfer as the ultimate answer for a more utopian existence. The worst of criminals are required to undergo the process, as a cloned mind without criminal instincts replaces theirs. The clones eventually discover what has happened (the transfer process erases their prior memories) and rise up against the government who enforces this. Muse A is part of this group of cloned, past criminals and feels that their soul has been stolen from them. They seek to find the answers to your criminal past before joining the rebellion, and kidnaps Muse B, one of the scientists who came up with the project.
Hopefully, either of these have caught your eye. I'm open to suggestions!
