Maybe a Harvest Moon style game.
You start the game on a spaceship flying to Neo-Venezia and choose your name, gender, etc. as well as your "path". You can pick from an assortment of careers; salamander, sylph, undine, mail delivery, chef, farmer, artist, and on and on it could go. You start the game as an apprentice for whatever career you pick and work your way up as time progresses. The game would be part advancing your career to the point that you're the master and training the next generation, and the game would "end" (maybe NG+ or freeplay somewhere around here) once the next generation spreads their wings and flies. The other part would be general exploration and exploring the mysteries of Neo-Venezia, as well as interacting with other townsfolk (improving relationships, romance options). The way I imagine it is your career would only be 20% or so of the gameplay.
