November 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. |

||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.

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.
