There is a Goddess. A goddess of Shadows and meaningful silences. Not a goddess of Things but that which is created by their absence. A Goddess of Chasms and Openings and Darkness. She is revered and worshiped by Thieves and Assassins and all who would rather their work went unnoticed, Inasmuch as one can purposely worship a being who takes praise from those who pay her no attention. Those households to whom she is the principal object of worship are notable only in their lack of shrines and decorations. Beggars sing psalms in her name to ensure they don't fade into the background. This creature of silhouette, This Goddess of void, is inscrutable, unknowable, Indecipherable and, so far as you can tell, Head over heels in love with you.

You're the person assigned to maintain law and order to this good, fair city. Things have gotten out of hand and you've been assigned to these here boondocks fresh from the academy. Despite the challenge before you, you're ready to make a name for yourself and rise up the ranks.
It's your everyday police procedural.
Except it's set in a low fantasy city-state with rogue magic-users everywhere.

There is a tiny planet covered with eyes orbiting the Earth and it's looking right at you. Wherever you go, the planet's eyes follow, with pin-point precision. If you go to the other side of the Earth, the planet follows. You don't know why the Eye Planet is doing this, but there are three different cults that think they know, and they're doing everything they can to kidnap you.

You want to become a superhero. You have no powers yet, & no tragic backstory yet either. You figure the latter is optional, but you do want to get started on the former. So... how- how do you get some powers?

The readers are an assembly of lawmakers and judges in some government body. The story is told through letters, news reports and articles, blog posts, court records, etc. The main characters are public figures and celebrities, and are mostly talked about in the third person. The primary form of reader interaction is through democratic vote on select bill proposals and court decisions, set over the course of several decades, maybe even centuries.
Example scenario:
The nation is at the brink of war with its northern neighbor, who is attempting to build an empire. The threat of invasion looms overhead. Several bills are on the floor.
1. A subsidy is proposed that would benefit producers of steel. Should the government invest in steel?
2. Rumors of treasonous groups are making their way across the nation. Should these rumors be ignored, or should traitors be punished to protect the strength and unity of the land?
3. A government funded foreign intelligence agency has failed to produce meaningful results for several years now. Should funding for this agency be cut, increased, or left alone?
4. Neighbors to the west are requesting assistance in fighting off northern invaders, but have poor reputation with previous allies. Should the government open trade with the west?

You are a janitor, working at a rehab center for superheroes. You uncover a plot to poison all the heroes with a serum that will make them all fall into a permanent coma, and you must find out which of the therapists is the culprit before the world is doomed.
Fortunately, you have a superpower yourself. UNfortunately, you had trouble trying to make it useful when fighting crime that becoming a janitor was much smarter than becoming a full-time superhero. Your power? You can refill a bucket with water, using your mind to concentrate humidity in the air. It only works with buckets.

The Earth finally receives alien contact in the form of a golden record, much like the one humans sent out in 1977 with the Voyager spacecrafts. Scientists work day and night to decipher the meaning behind the images presented, and whether or not this is a hostile species.
Meanwhile, a fifth grade camping trip takes place in the woods.

You're a real estate agent who makes a living selling irradiated zones to ignorant buyers. One of your old customers has died from radiation poisoning and has turned into a glowing radioactive ghost. The deceased customer is now coming after you, and your only hope is your customer's missing twin children, who vanished after realizing their parent was a demon.

You're the prime suspect in a murder. The evidence against you is overwhelming. That's for one simple reason: You almost did it. You carried out your plan to the very last step, and were about to finish off your victim.
But when you arrived, you found that someone else had beaten you to the kill. Unfortunately, you got stuck with the blame.
Your only hope is to uncover the real killer... but can you do it without revealing your own misdeeds?

An adventure that follows the exploits of a modern day train robber.
Could be taken two ways - a train robber that robs modern trains or an old-fashioned train robber that robs traditional steam engines and is the last in their occupation. All of the other thieves have moved on but them.

You are the incomplete concept of a Generic Main Character. You are currently awaiting Conceptual Therapy to help deal with the realization that you will never amount to anything substantial.
It's a heavy weight, but your genericness has really helped you deal with the constant dread. Apparently constant dread is too characteristically interesting for you to hold onto for very long.
