1. The Rich Are Dicks: Have you read The Most Dangerous Game? It's that. Literally just that. An obscenely rich ass has kidnapped the characters, let them out on his own private island, is going to hunt them over the course of a few days.
2. Urban Fantasy Cult Stuff: The story takes place in Los Angeles, California, in December 2019. The Dersei Angels, a religious groups with roots in tradtional dark elf worship, has churches across America, and even a few in Sydney, London, and Hong Kong. They generally operate as churches/homeless shelters. Most people who go there for shelter end up joining the church. However, in recent months, people have been going missing. Even the police have been called, but nothing came up. Later that night, the police officers on the case killed themselves.
Worldbuilding-wise, it's pretty similar to current day Earth. The countries are situated in the same spots, history follows the same basic guidelines, though with the use of magic, things are pretty different. America is still a melting pot of different cultures.
3. Soft Apocalypse: The world has ended. Nearly a century earlier, the society collapsed under dept and nuclear threats. Humans have since recovered. The planet has since recovered. Nature has reclaimed the cities, and humans have returned to a quieter form of life. Small city-states have cropped up across the world. Our characters are runners. They take messages, food, medicine, supplies, sometimes even people to other places for money. I have no real story for this, just a world and an idea.
4. Gladiators: Our characters are criminals, slaves, or POWs of the Roman Empire. It doesn't matter why you're here, only that you're here. Our characters have been put into the Roman Colosseum to be gladiators.
5. Alien Invasion: Aliens are quietly invading the planet. The aliens are actually a sentient fungal spore which take over entire species before moving on the next. In their sights is Earth. Our characters can be anyone, high ranking government official or plumber, it doesn't matter. Our characters have to find a way to defend the Earth from the invasive species.
