Hey guys
I've been thinking of giving writing another shot. I used to do it in the past, but it died a little. I'd like to write a story of my own, but I am unsure what I will/won't do yet. I have three ideas on which I'd like your opinion!
Here I go. The first two are Fantasy, the last one is sci-fi (scifi is sort of unexplored for me, but I'd like to try.)
1. A 19-years old boy who lives in a world where magic among the human race has been extinct for centuries, rediscovers the powers of a sorcerer and sets in motion a massive chain reaction among the races of the world. His life, and the lives of all who know him, are about to change completely.
2. A sword made of crystal, a black cloak and a necklace with a purple gem is all that the walker has with him when he wakes up in a wooden cabin in the middle of the woods. He has lost his memory, knowing nothing of who he is, where he came from or what he came here for. A massive search to his own identity begins…
3. During a war with an unknown race, now dubbed the Furii, we meet Alain Durand, a standalone mercenary who, on rare exception, now works for one faction alone: the human race. When they met the Furii, they weren’t friendly at all towards the human race, and quickly drove them out. Through a series of small missions for Alain and his friend Kenneth, they discover a conspiracy that far exceeds both the Human race and the Furii
SO.
what do you think of these? do any of them stand out? got any suggestions on how to get started on it/improvements? all suggestions are welcome!
Thanks for reading my long post!

My brain has partly shut down for the night, so I can't say much presently, but I would advise you against the second one, unless you believe you can truly make something unique with it. Amnesia is done that it's become a joke, and many consider it to be a cheap way out of giving actual reasons or setup, or a cheap excuse for exposition.
Maybe something else to keep in consideration
the main character and the two chars from the 3rd idea actually exist!
idea 2: the walker
idea 3: Alain Durand
Kenneth Wildner
Wildner and Alain will be slightly adapted for their setting, though.
