I have a some psl ideas and I'd really like to fill at least one more. All of my lines involve unusual angst causing surrogacy in different settings. Gaslighting and brainwashing or body horror of various forms would be involved in some of the options, but it's a question of what both parties agree to. There's more in journal and there's a couple of my ideas I'd really be interested in playing, or something from scratch with thematic core in mind. One such idea is below.
alien apocalypse will play either role Alaine was at least eleven years old when the earth was invaded. Anyone between the ages of eighteen and sixty disappeared without any explanation during the invasion. It left all of the world's young on their own, Alaine included. She finally found a place to settle in and feel safe, but it didn't work out.
The aliens returned with plans for the remnants left on earth after ten years. A mix of those left were kidnapped and implanted as hosts for the aliens' parasitic young. Chosen were implanted and left on earth, the young picked up after birth. A 21-year-old Alaine never could've prepared herself for waking up one morning to realize she had been among those who had been picked for the doomed fate. Carrying any of the alien young to term meant certain death, but no one knew how to get them out. It was as good as a death sentence. Alaine had all but given up hope when she met Robin/Ryan.
Robin/Ryan had been "adopted" by a retired doctor who was in their 70s when the invasion had happened and thus left behind. Robin/Ryan learned as much as they could from the good doc and was witness and assistant to the doc's less than ethical experimentation where the doctor figured out how to bring a surrogate to a state of delivery without dying. Once the doctor died, Robin/Ryan was left alone. That's what lead to Robin/Ryan deciding to take on another surrogate to try and perfect the process and potentially save the human race. (The idea of companionship didn't hurt either.) When they went to try and find someone, they found Alaine. The unusual duo still have to band together and survive in this post-apocalyptic wasteland where people fend for themselves and do as they please.
