Idea for an RP:
On Scadrial, after the events of TLM, Basin society develops into an economic and cultural state similar to that of the roaring twenties in our own world. Some social norms are relaxed and an age of prosperity comes to almost all, but especially the rich.
However, hoping to avoid further crime surges such as that of the Set in decades prior, (and in preparation for possible conflict with the South) Elendel's government passes laws that restrict the distribution of certain goods such as weapons, allomantically viable metals, and liquor. This serves a similar purpose to the prohibition era.
While many people take these changes in stride, others are... dissatisfied. An underground market starts to form in Elendel and the surrounding basin, one that penetrates even the upper reaches of the nobility.
The RP would center around the characters entangled in this semi-illegal dance of business, intrigue, action, and espionage, and how they live their lives in a changing world where supposed "freedom" from legal restrictions sometimes brings chains of it's own, and where great risks are taken at the prospect of great reward.
SpoilerTotally not inspired by that one webcomic I didn't think I'd get super into...
I do have a few other RP ideas, one that happens on Earth in the 1920's or 30's with a VERY different plot, one that involves supernatural horror-esque stuff in the modern age, and one that involves the crew of an interstellar exploration vessel.
