The Premise:  At a certain point in the distant past, two rival families discovered a large hot springs at about the same time (accounts vary depending on which family you're asking).  After a lengthy conflict, they decided to split it and both built rival hot springs spas.  Both ended up equally successful and thrive to this day.

However, the two families were not normal people.  Both are immortal, but in drastically different ways.  The first family posses immortal bodies, they are impossible to kill because they have already died.  Some liken them to zombies, but that's not entirely accurate, despite how new members can be attained.  They may have children and live their lives like any other person, save for the fact that they are immortal and impossible to kill.  However, their minds are still vulnerable and among members whose lifespans go past normal human lengths, long-term or short-term memory loss is common.

The other family is dead as well, but they are a reverse of the first family.  This family are, in essence, ghosts.  They can render themselves incorporeal and invisible, although unlike normal ghosts, they can take corporeal form, although it has it's limits.  They are invincible and immortal as well, if only because they're already dead, but their disadvantages lie elsewhere.  Their minds stay in tact, no longer shackled by corporeal bodies and they retain every semblance of their minds as time passes, but in return, even in their corporeal form, they cannot feel, taste or smell anything.  They may only observe life at a distance, never enjoying it's interaction.

This role-play is about the staff and owners of these spas, the immortal undead that compete with one another.  All PCs would be either of these two factions and any humans would be NPCs unless stated otherwise.

It will be sandbox with many threads representing the many different locations in the different spas and disruptions would be thrown in to create plot, although it would rely heavily on PC social interaction for the bulk of it's plot.

This game would also be either mature or adult, although if a strong enough case is made, making it general would be fine.


What I'm looking for:  I'm looking for a GM to lead this game.  I'm willing to co-GM and help set it up, but I don't quite have the time to run it, especially not by myself.  If all goes well, you wouldn't have to do much aside from monitoring the role-play, maintaining it and going over new applications.  I just want to see this dream come alive, so if you're interesting send me an Rmail and I'll let you know the details.
