Other Obscure fandoms you'd like to RP

The Handmaid's Tale. I love me some good dystopian fiction with twisted religious imagery and highly feminist themes. I think it would be interesting to write a devout Commander who fully believes in Gilead and sees his place as naturally above his Wife and Handmaid... or a Wife who falls in love with her husband's Handmaid, or maybe even a polyamorous relationship that all three of them try to keep secret even from their own servants since any one of them could be an Eye. Hell, even playing an Aunt who watches over a group of Handmaids would be quite interesting!
It would make for a great high-stakes roleplay where even the players don't know where the other characters' loyalties lie and they have to quite literally risk their own character's life if they decide go against the current in any way. It's such an intriguing idea... but sadly the fandom is too small for that.

I could go for a Magia Record RP right now.

How different would that be from a standard Madoka RP, which were all the rage back in ye olde days?

 

[heartstringss]

haibane renmei is about the only one that comes to mind for me.

Y'know... Doppels n' stuff.

Inazuma Eleven

I was embarrassed about asking to roleplay it when I was a child and then well, I missed my opportunities there. Between the characters being children (though they can be aged up, not many are still comfortable about it, which is understandable, I've found myself having to remind people that children are children no matter the superpowers they may have and it's creepy), and the fandom being... I don't see any kind of activity from it tbh, so I'm guessing it's pretty dead.

Another one is Shazam, but like, the most recent movie version/universe, not the comics. I'm not a big fan of DC movies, but that one has everything I like, from silly humor to silly characters to a wholesome family. But no luck for now, just some people ghosting I guess

Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

It comes across as a silly slice of life show for the first 30 episodes, but in fact, much of it was subtle set-up for the amazing future arc. The main hiccup I have had with trying to roleplay in the fandom is that people tend to want to play in the universe just generally when I want to play as canon characters like Xanxus or Mokuro who I find pretty badass.

 

[SP3CT3R]

Bingewatched the entire second season of The Hollow about two weeks ago and I can't stop thinking about it. I want to roleplay it so badly, but I have no idea how such a roleplay based on it should work, since the vast majority of the plot rides on spoilers.

 

[low fidelity]

THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES. 100%. its such a well written horror podcast, the world building and story are so immaculate and it's sooooo fucking good. i've been wanting to make a group rp based off it for a good while now, and as summer and more free time approaches, i likely will once i figure out a plot and what direction to take it.

Same! I've been thinking about this the last couple of days, the world building in TMA is just so good, and there's such variety in the type of horror you could do. I think it could make for a really interesting RP

 

[Mikotsuhime]

I’ve always wanted to do an rp set in the Garo universe. Not really using canon characters (although I wouldn’t mind a canon rp either focusing on Rekka/Jabi or Crow/Raiga or even Ryuga/Jinga) but just playing around with the world and lore. Makai society seems like such a strange and fun thing to write about, especially when they’re so separated from modern society while still living IN modern society. It’s just fun.

I’ve considered the idea of various Kamen rider rps but I’m very... particular about characterization and the like in those lol.

Ive always though Higanjima had a good setting for an rp too, though I wouldn’t really recommend anybody actually read it because it’s... pretty terrible lol.

The last one I think would be REALLY fun would be an oc based ultraman rp! It could be fun to have one person be the ultra and another be the host, along with the various defense team members. And maybe some of the old guard like Taro could show up. I love you, ultraman Taro.

 

[Moomba]

The Wheel of Time is a great setting for a roleplay, since the worldbuilding is so in depth that you could do a story that has nothing to do with any canon characters. The same is true for Brandon Sanderson's books, in particular the Cosmere, but I'd love to do a Skyward rp as well.

 

[SpeedHunters73]

I'm a big racing game fan but apparently there aren't any others out there like me that would like to RP them. So here are a few racing games that I want to RP but can't. You all probably never heard of some of these lol.
Shutokou Battle Series
Midnight Club
Need For Speed series
PGR
Forza Horizon
Race Driver GRID
Here's a few bonus ones
Fast and Furious
Power Rangers/Super Sentai

 

[merricats]

Sherlock Holmes but ,, specifically the 1984 Granada iteration - The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes!

I also have this in my search but no one ever takes me up on it - FUTURAMA !! People really sleep on how fun the futurama universe would be to roleplay within tbh! Also! Archer, and like lots of others mentioned in my search post lmao

 

[Crow]

Something I've been seeking...

... Vtubers.

 

[SpeedHunters73]

Adding one more to my original list:
Kill La Kill

 

[Virus]

An Amazon original called "Gortimer gibbons: life on normal street" I keep thinking this is way to underrated

 

[Ginko The Mushishi]

I have returned!

Nioh/Nioh 2 - LOVE this video game series. Truly stood on its own two feet and differed itself from the Dark Souls style; challenging, and punishing if you're too cocky. Samurais/Ninja with Mystical spirits that give them elemental powers is God damn awesome. Truly a fun idea for a roleplay!

Still looking for a Bleach roleplay too ;^;
AND MONSTER HUNTER PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE!!

 

[Phantom Thief of Hearts]

I don't know how obscure this is but it's niche for sure... I love RPing as the Neptunia characters.

We tried getting a MH RP together not too long ago. Someone necroed a 2 year old thread. lol I guess they started a new thread after that. We got a couple of ppl showing mild interest. Problem is, no one wants to GM.

Fantasy - Monster Hunter RP

So I saw a Roleplay being made for Monster Hunter around 2 years ago (it was a post from 2 years ago that is) and I was wondering if people still liked that idea and maybe there is a Monster Hunter Rp? Wondering if anyone had seen one? Or does anyone want to start one possibly.

[kevintheradioguy]

Lately, Tyranny. Low fantasy world with a curious magic system, evil empire that won, cool take on demigods, and believable but not banal "gods-elves-orcs" world

YOOOOO YOU'RE A GODSEND.
I might be up to GM it! So long as I know what everyone needs for it I'll gladly take the spot.

I am a SUCKER for niche stuff apparently, but if I had to pick one it would be Nausicaa and The Valley of The Wind. It's pure dieselpunk, but with a whimsical enough background to draw in fantasy lovers from all over. Unfortunately the movie adaptation couldn't cover as much world building as the manga, so it takes some research to get the setting. However, once you get through with that, it opens up a whole world of possibilities.

 

[Nocturne.]

Bioshock. It seems like it has so many opportunities to make a good roleplay, but I can never find any for it.
