April EMP Meme
FOR GAME ADS: ➤ Put an ad up with the characters / crew / pairings / kink 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 fonts and other html that make ads super long, 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 canon 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. ➤ There is a "Pairings You Want to Play" section, where you can ask for castmates or crosscanon you'd like to ship with. Please format this with "[YOUR CANON] seeking [CASTMATE/OTHER CANON (if crosscanon)/SEE DESCRIPTION (if a general character type)]. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Pairings You Want to Play" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. Alongside castmates and crosscanon, you can choose to ask for OCs or general character types as well. Try not to get too wordy and please don't outline entire scenarios. ➤ 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. ➤ All mod responses regardless of whether they're rule breaks, correction requests (like someone posting in the wrong section), or thwapping someone for spamming copy-paste ads, have always been and will almost universally be public. If someone sends a PM and the conversation gets combative, this will also be made public and posted to the comments of the mod contact page. This is for the sake of transparency so people can judge the emp mod's communications for fairness themselves. There are times where the player's post may be screened (such as if they posted to the wrong section) but the mod's response will be left unscreened. ➤ Players may sometimes be allowed more than one strike for copy-paste ads since this is often just enthusiasm behind it, but game mods should know better. They'll get one warning for copy-paste ads, and if they spam anymore copy-paste ads after the warning, they'll be banned from the meme. ➤ The meme is for fiction-based RP only (with the only exception being involvement of fictionalized historical figures or historical settings.) Celeb or RPF RP advertising, whether for games or players, is not allowed. 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.

Dash Valor
Origin: Original Character
Tone: Bright, adventurous, emotionally open with a sense of humor
Summary: Dash is a roguish, solar-powered hybrid who vanished from Earth as a teen and was raised in the wider galaxy. He’s a thrill-seeker with a golden heart—quick to jump into trouble and quicker to help people out of it. Think classic space pulp meets golden retriever energy.
Fit For:
• Action-forward or spacefaring settings
• Panfandom sandboxes where upbeat characters have room to grow
• Worlds where he can stumble into a crew, cause some chaos, and find belonging
Hooks:
– Crashed into your world and looking for a place to land
– Joins the loudest resistance or most chaotic team on vibes
– Genuinely heroic, even when he pretends not to be
Smut/Romance: Open to both but not required—he functions just fine without it
Asher Fenril Ward
Origin: Original Character
Tone: Dry-humored, grounded, with a quiet intensity
Summary: Asher’s an immortal druid raised in a paramilitary strike circle—equal parts shapeshifter, soldier, and reluctant mentor. He leans into themes of transformation, survival, and rediscovering what it means to be human after living too long in wild form.
Fit For:
• Urban fantasy, supernatural ops, or modern myth settings
• Games that explore memory, identity, and purpose
• Teams or factions with tactical, magical, or gray-morality leanings
Hooks:
– Comes in through magical deployment or dimensional displacement
– Has done and seen more than he lets on—slow burn character connections
– Could be a wild card, a weapon, or a guide, depending on how he’s used
Smut/Romance: Optional—can be explored if it fits, but definitely not a must
Davy Jones
Origin: Original Character
Tone: Mysterious, poetic, a little dangerous
Summary: Davy wears the mask of a seafaring trickster, but underneath, he’s something much older—part fae king, part forgotten god of tides and thresholds. He offers bargains, asks questions you can’t answer, and pulls others into stories bigger than they expected.
Fit For:
• High fantasy or mythologically-rich settings
• Games that include divine powers, fae courts, or metaphysical frameworks
• Any setting where ancient forces might slip through the cracks of reality
Hooks:
– Appears through ritual, dreams, or by invitation (intended or not)
– Useful as a cryptic guide, wildcard ally, or catalyst for plot
– Woven for slow reveals, thematic tension, and mythic resonance
Smut/Romance: Not necessary—his focus is narrative and symbolism first
Contact: Feel free to comment here or PM if one of them might work for your game.

been really enjoying our threads
i've got gojo here over at karteria, which is sort of urban fantasy, art deco city going decrepit and neglected because of some kind of weird blight situation. it JUST opened and has a monster transformation theme (gojo's installed with the soul of a house cat so he's got a full werecat form and is transforming toward catboy form, because i like bullying him).
anyway gojo's been having a great time so far and i'd be pleased to see you there, would gladly talk you up if you want to TL on most recent tdm
no subject
I just started poking around the game pages, and I might just go for this one...
Ash'll be beside himself over uncontrolled transformations. I'll let you know when I post on the TDM.
edit: and there he is

we're a small, slow-paced, plot-forward game set in the dragon age (high fantasy-ish) universe. you don’t have to be canon familiar to play. characters arrive through a magical rift between worlds, and join an ongoing war against a big bad evil guy. we have quarterly AC (a summary of what you’ve been up to) and mod plots, with smaller, player-led missions between.
there's a lot of room to dig into what specifically interests you, whether that’s writing fights or bonding with a crew of misfits, or slowly unlearning lifelong patterns, or dealing with other people trying to unravel the cracks of reality. etc! i think any of your guys would be a great fit (we have a bunch of chaos goblins lately who dash would probably get along with, as well as some soldiers trying to be people outside of that), but the game takes place in a port city called kirkwall and admittedly i just find that funny ooc.
If you decide to check us out, we have an ongoing tdm here tracked by most of the game. we'll hit you up if we see you there. good luck finding a fit!
