November EMP Meme

ENABLEMEPLZ

meme goes up on the Second Saturday of every month

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.

Important note: IP logging has turned on due to multiple instances past and present of problem players trying to return to the dwrp community via emp after being banned other places, so I'll be IP logging from now on, and will compare notes with the rpa and wg mods (as well as game mods) where appropriate if it seems like someone that has been mass banned. 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.

offering:
Frankenstein; Eve [an AU OC based off the bride]
Hey Arnold! / The Patakis; Helga G. Pataki [AU Helga based on Craig Bartlett's pitch for The Patakis, a sequel series that takes place four years after The Jungle Movie.]
Interviews with Monster Girls [also known as Demi-chan wa Kataritai]; Sakie Satou
Mythology; Persephone [an upfront and bold goddess of the earth and fertility]
Original; Aleana Mercia [a princess who worked out a deal with her father to avoid marriage and allow herself to travel as an ambassador for her country, quite kuudere (cold and practical)]
Original; Madeline Reyes [a Drakon abandoned as an infant and raised by humans, discovering her Drakon heritage]
Pride and Prejudice; Elizabeth Bennet
Return to Labyrinth; Sarah Williams [also open to playing her as more of an adult AU based off the film]
To The Moon / Finding Paradise / Impostor Factory; Dr. Eva Rosalene (I'm up to date on all minisodes and the dlc comic The Bestest Dancers as well.)
interested in:
⤑ Action. Particularly as part of a larger PSL or in addition to the other themes listed here.
⤑ Arranged Marriages. One of my favorites is the Dragon Bride AU (replace with monster of your choice).
⤑ AUs. I really love building new worlds or combining others and tweaking things! I'm always willing to discuss them and come up with new ones too. Can be as simple as modern day or more complex.
⤑ Canon and Crosscanon both! I'm willing to twist canon relationships or explore other routes not taken in source material. I also love coming up with assumed CR and intermingling canons for crosscanon.
⤑ Domesticity. This can be gen or ship related, I'm not picky.
⤑ Families of all types, found and made. I'm open to playing out pregnancies as well but it's not a necessity.
⤑ Gen, Shipping & Smut. With smut I like CR buildup over several threads beforehand if possible. I'm also happy to do fade-to-black and focus more on foreplay / aftercare in particular! I tend to run F/M for the most part.
⤑ Horror. I tend to prefer psychological horror and I would rather have it as either one-shot threads or brief pieces of longer PSLs. Think of something like spooky world backdrops like Alan Wake, Deadly Premonition, Silent Hill, Twin Peaks or anything Lovecraftian.
⤑ Original characters. I've taken a real liking to building OCs and would love to do so for more PSLs.
⤑ Slowburn romances. We can string these out over a series of meme threads with building CR or a series of PSL threads. Or half and half, I'm not picky.
⤑ Soulmates / Mated tropes, particularly when combined with other things such as monsters / the supernatural. I like markings, courting / mating rituals and such.
⤑ Supernatural things. This can include fairy tales, fantasy, mythology or spookier things.
⤑ Tsunderes.
⤑ UST, pining on both sides. Two characters afraid to speak of their feelings and eventually that bubbles over.
looking for:
⤑ I've been having a lot of fun lately playing OCs in various memes/PSLs, particularly shippy ones. I'd love to do more of that. If you'd like to world build and have some romance/smut in it, feel free to hit me up.
⤑ I've been struck with the urge to play a what-if of if Frankenstein's monster had gotten his bride in the end. I mostly want to explore the monster teaching his new companion, the pair of them growing closer over time and such. OR it can be something based off what little bit of background I've given her. I'm down to run with the original novel, the musical and so on or fiddle with something completely new.
⤑ Any dragon types to bounce my OC Madeline off of. She's a drakon who was raised as a human and is now trying to figure out her more dragon side.
⤑ I want to explore a few AUs with Sarah (or combined) -- as a changeling with some magic potential and as a Fairy Doctor / Supernatural Detective.
other:
⤑ I am 100% fine playing with slow taggers! As long as you let me know you're going to be slow then if you tag me and I still have inspiration for a thread I'll keep going as long as you do!
⤑ I'm open to memes, museboxes and PSLs alike. If you want to string threads together between memes to make a continuing storyline then go for it. If you want something more formal in a musebox I can do that too!
⤑ Also open to both brackets and prose. I tend to default to present-tense.
⤑ You can contact me through here or PMs. I also have Plurk and will be happy to share them after chatting a bit!

What are your thoughts on shipping and/or found family with Madeline and a dragon church man living in hiding as a human?

Ooh, what an interesting angle! I'd be down for either route, though she's in her mid-20s and might be a bit young for him if he prefers older folk.

Given he can marry older faculty members or former students in their 20s in his paired endings, I'm pretty unconcerned with age gaps for him TBH. Pick your poison!

We could always give a gen thread a try and see if they click well enough for shipping then. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Fire Emblem (other than recognizing the characters of course) but I do so love tagging off of characters I have no clue about!

Sounds good! We can probably pretty easily figure out AUing or canon mashup or whatever to frame it? Spoiler tagged in case anyone browsing doesn't want Three Houses context, but CW: genocide and desecrating corpses:

||The ancient dragon kingdom Nabatea shared technology and whatnot with the ancient human kingdom Agartha, until Agartha went to war with Nabatea and basically nuked the world and decimated its population. The remaining Agarthans retreated underground to plot revenge on EVERYONE ELSE, human and dragon, for losing the war while the goddess Sothis restored the world. Eventually the Agarthans manipulated a bunch of bandits into genociding Sothis and the other dragons, did shady magic experiments with dragon blood to give the bandits superpowers called Crests, and gave them super strong weapons made out of the remains of the dragons. After the bandits got sorted out in another war, the few surviving dragons rewrote history books to paint the bandits as chosen heroes who were corrupted by power, and the Crests and weapons as divine gifts from the goddess. Seteth's sister went quietly insane with grief while using the church to keep society in medieval times to prevent further nuke-style shenanigans, and Seteth went into hiding with his comatose daughter until she recovered because they kept getting hunted down and flushed out by the Agarthans.||

Aaaaand then all that becomes mostly irrelevant to the Actual Plot of the game, except that these guys manipulating history behind the scenes is the reason everyone is at war.

Ooh, intriguing. Madeline's backstory isn't quite as well-composed obviously but it does have to do with dragons in hiding and amusingly the medieval times.

Long ago people were frightened of the drakon thanks to their size mostly... and a few bad seeds maybe. It led to the rise of knights and hunters who specifically hunted dragons. At first it was more annoying than bad but soon those knights and hunters began targeting more than just dragons -- they raided dens and crushed clutches of eggs as well as killed the younger hatchlings.

Thanks to this drakon used their magic to take bipedal forms they could hide in. They still had drakon markings of course -- horns, ears, tails, scales and wings they could tuck away -- but from a distance and if they kept hidden in the hills it made them less of a target. Once the drakon who refused to take these bipedal forms were all wiped out, they knights and the like at first bought the idea they were all gone.

However as society advanced and humans started settling even the mountains and places where these drakon hid they realized they couldn't hide in just their bipedal forms anymore. So thirteen of the clans agreed to take up human guises.

Now the world is divided into two -- the world of humans and a realm the Folk (werewolves, pixies, fae, dwarves, etc.) have taken to calling 'the Veil'. Modern day Drakon have had a hard time adjusting to a more global world, some clinging to the traditional ways and others given up their drakon heritage altogether to settle in human towns and fully mingle with them.

I'd be down for AUing her into more medieval times for sure. Her schtick is she was abandoned with humans as an infant and raised by one in her human guise never knowing her drakon side. I've got a whole backstory there but I'll spare you, haha.

If you'd like to fuss over just how to AU her in or canon mashup feel free to PM. I'll probably chew on this too and think of a way. I do like keeping the medieval angle -- she could have always been raised in the church after all.
