So lately every time I've started to make a site or I join one, something awful seems to happen IRL to keep me away from the computer for days/weeks. Then I get too embarrassed to go back. >//< Maybe I'm haunted by an anti-rp ghost. onz However, I just can't stay away. I have a lot of muse/interest for a couple site concepts, but since they're things I'm personally interested in (relaxed sandbox + personified monsters) I thought I'd post here to see if there would be any interest outside of myself. There are a couple of different synopsis bouncing around in my head with those variables, so please let me know which (if either) you think sounds okay.
Ⓐ Monster Zoo: I've been writing a book with a vaguely similar setting on and off for a couple years now, but I think the general premise might be fun for an rp? Basically, during the day it's a zoo for monsters. Separated by regional origin (like a bakeneko and Kkangcheoli would be in the Asian exhibits, while a banshee or drake would be in the European), it's generally thought of as a wondrous magician's display or something? But the twist is that in this world monsters have a reverse cinderallian style ability that lets them personify from midnight to dawn, so after closing they all get to go out of their cages and chill with each other, use the wifi, raid the zoo's starbucks, ect. Like, none of them are forced to be there, it's just like another job for those who want modern luxuries, but don't want to be stuck telemarketing in a cave? Character driven, with some events? Humans allowed as another user group for workers or something?
I think I recall there being interest here for an animal zoo rp like this a long time ago (unless it was a different site? I think I remember it because I thought it was fun to see an idea that was like something I was writing?), so I was thinking there may be for a monster version as well?
though tbh even a personified normal zoo would be fun imo. tell me if that's preferred
Ⓑ Modern Monsters Integrating More general, with a wider sandbox. Basically, something like monsters either finally 'came out' or they were always kinda there in this world or the magic that makes glamours hide them broke irreparably, and the rp is set in a big city after the monster civil rights movement? Where tension is still high between humans and them, with people on both sides discriminating, but many trying hard to integrate well? Or something. onz Sorry, this is mostly inspired by pretty art of delinquent looking fanged bishounen, so I'm not so sure on an exact premise?
With either you could stick with a creature from myth, or make up your own kind of monster/species (which seems more fun >u>). Or play a human stuck with all these weirdos. I have the misfortune of not liking fighting rps much, prefering modern or 1920-> settings, and still wanting to play not-entirely-humans, opps. That combo used to be around a lot, yet seems to be in a dry spell atm? However, I am open to any sort of suggestions here! I've been working on a skin (badly) and stuff, but this will help me gauge which direction to go in site wise.
Ⓒ hidden option c. upon thinking more, the normal zoo idea would be fun too. if so, help me track down the posts about it? would people like this more, since to most I'd assume animals > monsters?

Five years ago, the Pokemon League formed Lux to create a new world order of peace and harmony. A rebellion formed, under the name of Nox, cries tyranny at Lux's new microcosmic control. Their civil war now tears the Pokemon world apart. The world hangs in the balance of predormitum. Which side will you choose?
is a high stakes RP set in a dystopian Russian society recovering from an apocalyptic war between the armies of Heaven and Hell. Greater Russia now stands free from the influence of God and the Devil, and all non-humans run the risk of execution. Outside the safe zones lies the contained wasteland of Moscow, where demons and mutated shadowbeasts continue to terrorize the remaining human survivors who have been penned in with them. As of late, increasing evangelic disturbances threaten the peace that has ruthlessly maintained by the secret police.
