So here are a few different rp prompts I've been wanting to try out, mostly based around a futurist setting after a bit of a robotic technological revolution, dealing with the effects and shifts caused by such a change as well as a few deeper questions about life.
Prompt 1 - (more Slice of Life) Earth 2113 - Life on Earth has rapidly progressed after the autonomous revolution of the 21st century, human population leveled out at 10.2 billion and now the majority of the workforce is taken up by robotic workers who do the low-level jobs far cheaper and more efficiently. A large proportion of power is now taken from gigantic solar fields and the occasional start to a Dyson swarm around the sun.
For the lower class products are now cheaper, however, there is little to no job opportunities so many have taken to joining shuttles to one of the few dozen orbital colonies which now orbit the earth, each with their own unique atmospheres maintained by machines. Here life is far riskier, damages can cause several deaths almost instantly or a temporary failure in radiation shielding can result in mass illness, yet still, progress goes on. Down on the surface, heavy maintenance by machines has begun to reverse Earth's failing ecosystems, but only in certain areas, many areas still show the mass scars left by industry on the planet.
A few self-intelligent machines have been developed containing what those who constructed them call consciousness. However severe international restrictions have placed many upper limits on their intellect to not surpass that of humanity.
In this RP the options are basically either being a new transfer to an orbital colony, adjusting to your new life there, exploring the reasons why your character left Earth probably involving romance somewhere in the plot, or exploring the life of those left in lower class areas where the environment is still degrading and conditions are getting worse, the struggle to survive in a world that's largely forgotten about you. The potential for some intrigue here or more romance depending on what you'd prefer.
Prompt 2 - Earth 2465 - Your character awakens from a cryogenic chamber to find themselves the sole living human, the remainder of the human population having been wiped out over a hundred years ago. The only remaining evidence from pre-extinction is decaying cities and the machines left to tend them. Machines built for war have long since found and eliminated each other, ending age-old wars in stalemates as any and all remaining combatants died.
Now cities are overgrown and teeming with plant life, tended to and nurtured by the machines built to care for the environment, everything else is derelicts, all apart from one: The Entity. An autonomous machine, with its own ability to think and reason for itself, within limits. When it awoke a long time ago it was in a state of disrepair, slowly rebuilding itself took years and when it finally was constructed, it was alone.
It couldn't tamper with the machines around it or give them any level of independent thought, even though it knew how to, something within its coding wouldn't allow it to do so. Then it made a discovery, a cryogenic chamber containing a single human life, preparing the facility, the Entity began the process of unfreezing the human, wanting something to talk to, or even to gain help in exploring the world around them and why they're alone.
In this prompt, there is more of an actual story for the character to explore as well as how they deal with the Entity, so I'd class it more as an action-adventure story.
Anyway if anyones interested in either feel free to reply or message me.

No magic at all.
Further future, perhaps visit mars or upload your brain
Combat is expected as part of the storyline but it won't dominate the plot.
Details: Freeform, adjustable length posts, long-term RP partner preferred.
Still searching for anyone interested.

I'm interested!
I'm a little intrested in the first, my character may be a little "Special" But I think it will fit in with the lore.
I'm glad to hear it, which of the two prompts are you more interested in?
First
This is the character I want to join with.
Is that okay?

Right, would it be possible to discuss a few further details with you on the character, just to make sure that it fits within the lore fully and all changes (if any) that could be made are alright with you?
Interested assuming it's in pms

Ah right, pm me, with the character you intend to use then and the details for how they fit into this world.
