July EMP Meme
FOR GAME ADS: ➤ Put an ad up with the characters / crew / pairings / fetish you want for your game under the correct game header. This meme is primarily going to be focused on DWRP games but IJ and LJ games are allowed. ➤ PLEASE NOTE A RULE CHANGE HERE. ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding (no font size > size 4 or 3 "big" tags, no oversized banners (they must be 250px in height or less), no blinking text, no obnoxious table html that doesn't collapse easily, no sparklies, no large pictures). Use all the colors you like, but please remember 3 "big" tags is the limit and that's only for headers or title text rather than for all the text in an ad. FOR GAME QUESTIONS: ➤ RPers interested in a game can create a header for the game and ask questions about that game that aren't easy to find on faqs, such as the actual pace vs. what's listed/what kind of plots are run/if the game leans more towards plotty or slice of life/if a game leans more towards network or logs, etc. Both anon questions and anon answers are welcome in this section just like in the rest of the meme. ➤ This thread is not for speaking about wank or drama in a game. There are anoncomms that exist for that. This thread is specifically for general questions about a game that rpers want to get perspective on from players already in the game. Answers can be slightly negative (such as saying app response is slow or that the plots are repetitive or similar things) but this should at least be worded politely. Unnecessary vitriol, any mention of personal drama or wank, or mod teams/individual mods/players being singled out, will be either frozen or screened (based on what seems right based on the content). FOR CHARACTER ADS: ➤ Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL ads, there is a separate subthread but for character ads for games, post directly to the meme post. Others will comment to you with the games/casts they want you to join. ➤ There is a "Find a Castmate" section, where you can talk about a cast you play in at a game, and try to lure people to join it. Not all games post to the meme or have a "wanted" section, so players that want to tempt people to their cast on their own can use this section for it. Please format this the same as the PSL section, where you post your character's canons in your subject. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find a Castmate" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. When listing who's currently in a cast, please do this in sentence form (with commas) rather than in list form. ➤ There is a "Find Crosscanon" section, where you can talk about a character you play and and desired crosscanon for that character. Please make sure this is not too generalized a search, because just wanting general crosscanon can be accomplished with the other sections of the meme. This is for specific characters or character types you're looking for. In the subject, please list the "Looking for [canon you're looking for]" rather than your character's canon. If looking for a character type, list the character type in as few words as possible. Do not make the subject huge or I'll screen your comment. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find Crosscanon" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. This section is only for game crosscanon as in the psl section people can list their preferences. ➤ Examples of crosscanon you can search for: You play The Flash from DC Comics and your dream CR is fellow speedster Quicksilver from Marvel. Or you might play a witch and want cr with other witches in general. Or maybe you play a good character messed up by evil parents and want to play against a villain character you know has evil parents, because you know it'd lead to some interesting negative CR. ➤ ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding, with the same rules as the Game Ads Section above. ➤ If you're recommending a game to someone, try to match your suggestion to their needs. It's okay if part of your game rec is copy-pasted (such as what the game's about), but at least some part of the rec must be personalized to their ad. Try not to recommend the same game to every single ad, either. Ad spam that isn't individualized in some way will also be frozen or screened. Keep in mind this needs to be more specific than "this game has easy AC like you're asking for but meets none of your other requirements." Make sure you're advertising games that might click with that specific character, where a few elements fit what they're looking for. You should be thinking about the story reasons of how the character might click with the game. IN GENERAL: ➤ Don't be a dick. This isn't one of the anoncomms, so any snide comments or unnecessary commentary on the RP plans of others will be frozen or screened. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

I will not pay attention to IPs otherwise. I don't care what people like playing or who's who. So please feel comfortable to keep doing your thing, anon or otherwise. The knowledge will only be used for really egregious problem cases. |
FFXIV, Fire Emblem Elibe, Voltron, open to crosscanon
Final Fantasy XIV:
-Aisthota Fyrstaelwyn (WoL OC) - Warrior of Light, Hellsguard Roegadyn despite the Sea Wolfish name, hopelessly distractable and boundlessly gullible. Aisthota wants nothing more in life than to help people and believes strongly in the inherent goodness of mankind and just stubbornly assumes everyone she meets means well and is on the level no matter how many times she gets stabbed in the back or otherwise taken advantage of. Primarily a Red Mage and secondarily a Bard, she has dabbled in most classes, and is very interested in exploring theory and generally expanding her already extremely diverse skillset.
-Oyuundai Iriq (OC) - A Xaela Au Ra of the Azim Steppes, Oyuundai was born to the all-female Borlaaq tribe and kept under the mistaken impression that he was also female. He showed magical talent, and thus was given training as an udgan, but when he tried to commune with the gods, they rejected him. A man has no place in the Borlaaq tribe, after all. After some soul-searching, he realized he was male, and left the Borlaaq to join the Iriq tribe, which follows the Borlaaq around and takes in the male children they give up. Nowadays, he serves as the udgan of the Iriq and helps care for the tribe's children, especially those formerly of the Borlaaq. Also available in WoL AU version.
Fire Emblem Elibe:
-Astolfo (FE6) - Excellent thief, horrible drunk, pretty good spy, absent father/husband, regrets basically every decision he's ever made.
-Hector (FE7) - Younger brother to Marquess Ostia, he is politically astute and shrewd despite his reputation as a violent tactless brute, but, well, that's what happens when people try to assassinate you so often that it becomes something not worth mentioning. Caring and kind despite it all, he's not always the best at expressing it, and he really would rather just punch all his problems into submission if he could.
-Oswin (FE7) - Proud knight of Ostia and close confidant of its Marquess. Dislikes having been saddled with babysitting duty and has Strong Opinions about the Right and Proper Way to do things, yet is not quite as objective about it all as he'd like to pretend he is.
-Uther (FE7) - Marquess Ostia, a shrewd and ambitious leader. He believes strongly in the Spartanesque philosophy of his forebearers, that men should live simply and be judged by their actions rather than their birth. Though only recently risen to the throne, he has already begun taking actions to improve the lives of the common man and reduce the power of the nobility, which, unsurprisingly, makes him rather unpopular with his court and his neighbors. Hence people trying to kill his little brother on the regular.
Voltron
-Takashi "Shiro" Shirogane - Ace pilot, fearless leader, perfect man??? Maybe not, but still a pretty good one. I can play him from pretty much any canonpoint, from his own cadet days at the Garrison to the Black Paladin to Kuron all the way up to post-canon. All Shiros are good Shiros.
-Adam and Curtis - I got a lot of headcanon I want to explore; if canon won't give me what I want, I'll make it myself.
-Ulaz - Alien spy and doctor. Impulsive and blunt, but clever and loyal. Part of an order that treasures knowledge, he enjoys learning about new things, but doesn't often have much opportunity for it between his advanced age and the importance of his empire-overthrowing mission.
What I'm looking for:
-Slow and steady: My job takes up a lot of my free time, to the point where I can get out one meaty tag or day or maybe a couple of smaller ones, depending. So, very slow, but also I will tag the same PSL thread for Literal Years.
-OOC planning: I find it's easiest to keep threads going for that long if there's plenty of OOC communication to go with it. "I had this idea, what if we do this?" "I think that's enough for that scene, shall we skip ahead?" "I don't like where this is headed, let's figure out how to redirect it" that sort of thing. We don't have to be besties or anything, I just want an open avenue for discussing what we're doing as necessary.
-I'm pretty open for genre/setting; exploring canon stuff that happened off-screen, doing AU shit from "what if we change something small and watch the consequences" to "what if we swapped these characters' positions?" to "what if they were vampires," pretending we're in some kind of fake jamjar-type setting, whatever works!
-I'm generally open to doing shippy stuff! Aisthota can do F/F, Oyuundai can do M/F or M/M, with a preference for M/F for him. I'd looooove to play Astolfo with an Igrene but I'll be shocked if anyone plays her. My preferred wife for Hector is Farina as far as canon goes, but I'm open to crosscanon M/F pairings for him. Oswin I ship pretty hard with Uther and if somebody plays the other half of that pairing I'll be delighted, but I'm also open to other M/M stuff for him taking place after Uther's death, or shipping with Serra. Uther, again, mostly just interested in stuff with Oswin there. For Shiro, as you might guess, I'm open to doing stuff with him with Adam, Curtis, or Ulaz, but only those three. Also open to doing Adam/Curtis as a ship, but I'm not holding my breath too hard on that one.
-I'm down for gen, too, though! I'd really love to do more with characters that don't interact much or at all in canon, but should. And, of course, crosscanon friendships are great!
-No real hard no's on my end, honestly, except that I'm only up to 4.3 (Stormblood: Under the Moonlight) story content in FFXIV and would appreciate people being careful about any spoilers past that.
