Fantastical Stories (Read for details).
Not 100% sure what to call this idea, but it's one I've had in my head for a while now, and I want to see where this goes:

Every night, when all the innocent little girls of the world are fast asleep, an army of shadow creatures rise from their shadow world to try and snatch the girls and feed their souls to the Nightmare Lord.

You are Patchkins - a race of sentient patchwork ragdolls whose sole purpose is to protect the innocent little girls of this world from the evil forces of the Nightmare Lord.


This is going to be an RP with a long, slow start... We're going to be following your characters from their very first moments of being alive in this world. Hopefully, when the action starts, it will all be worth it.
I can't say I have any particular direction in mind as for what happens after we begin, but honestly my main RP style is to start with a vague idea, drop characters into this world, and see what happens, reacting to the actions of the player-characters, rather than creating situations for them to react to.
