inspired by- lone wolf and cub, WALL-E
setting- post-apocalypse, sengoku/warring states period, cross-country road trip
*in the aftermath of the machine uprising, hordes of killer military robots scour the wastelands, seeking to destroy the last remnants of humanity and the robots who fought to protect them. muse A is one such protector robot, but the weight of their failure and the struggles of everyday life in this new world make it harder and harder for them to stay online. that all changes when they meet muse B, a young human who somehow escaped the initial slaughter, but whose chances of survival are also severely dwindling. if they want to last long enough to find out why the machines turned in the first place, they'll have to watch each other's backs.
inspired by- blues brothers, bullet train, pulp fiction
setting- cross-country road trip, organized crime
*muse A and muse B are contract killers forced to work together when a client hires them both to take out a target who lives on the other side of the country. their clashing attitudes, ideals, and methods of work cause plenty of problems for them as they navigate down the highway and through the country's colorful pockets of eccentric fellow criminals.
inspired by- whatever generic isekai light novel with an overly long title is popular right now
setting- small town slice-of-life, urban fantasy
*in a generic fantasy land, muse A, the hero prophesied to save the world, met muse B, the evil warlord out to enslave the world, for a glorious final duel. though A triumphed over B and restored peace to the land, both were mortally wounded in the duel and died soon after... only to be reincarnated as ordinary people in our world, but with the memories of their old world still intact. years have passed, and both A and B have gotten used to their new lives and routines. but what happens when their paths cross once again and their old rivalry rekindles?
inspired by- daily life with monster girl, idolm@ster, zombie land saga
setting- music industry, nightlife, urban fantasy
*monster girls have started appearing in our world and using their abilities to help their new communities and pursue exciting new dreams and opportunities. muse A is one such monster girl; she dreams of becoming a famous musician, but with human/monster girl relations still in their infancy, she can't seem to find an audience. muse B is a struggling musician trying to find the inspiration that will put an end their string of recent failures. when A and B decide to team up, they'll have help each other navigate their new daily lives, overcome their musical troubles, and maybe, just maybe, finally start down the path to stardom.
inspired by- ikaruga, top gun, star wars: x-wing
setting- "industrial-punk," space opera
*rebel factions wage aerial warfare against the core systems' tyrannical government using fleets of sleek two-man fighters called "sparrows." muse A is a hotshot sparrow pilot fresh from graduation, who couldn't care less about the horrors of war. they are assigned to copilot with muse B, a fellow newcomer who's already traumatized by their brief experiences in real combat. A's quest for glory and B's quest to just go home cause the two to clash repeatedly, which causes a mission to go horribly awry at the most critical moment, leaving them stranded in the heart of enemy territory. if they want either of their goals to be met with success, they'll have to put their differences aside and find a way back to base.
