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. ➤ ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding (no font size > size 4 or 3 "big" tags, no banners, no blinking text, no obnoxious tables, no sparklies, no 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 frozen and/or deleted. FOR CHARACTER ADS: ➤ Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL/1-on-1 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/1-on-1 section, where you post the 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. ➤ 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 screened. 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 screened. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

FAIRY TAIL @ GENESSIA
[fandom]: Fairy Tail
[game's current cast]: Mavis Vermillion, Zeref, Erza Scarlet
[who I play]: Erza Scarlet
[wanted]: anyone from the Fairy Tail guild itself would be wonderful! Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Gray, Wendy, Carla, Gajeel, Juvia, Mirajane, Makarov... I could go on and on.
For people outside of the Fairy Tail guild, we'd love to see Jellal, anyone from Crime Sorciere, Kagura, Millianna, or any of the Spriggan Twelve (especially August, Eileen, or Brandish). Given the people who are already in the game, any of the founding members of Fairy Tail (Hades/Precht, Warrod, Yuri Dreyar, or Zeira) could be interesting. Tartaros still has a base in this setting from when its members were there previously, so someone from there could be fun! (For the players, at least)
[game info]: Genessia is a fairly easy-going slice of life game. It's a jamjar, with the option for investigating the city and its mysteries (who sent them there, why, etc.) The city itself is divided into several zones, loosely corresponding to genres and settings of the canons (modern, sci-fi, fantasy, etc.). The game encourages player-run plots, and there are in-game elections for Guardians, people who are jn charge of keeping each zone safe. More information can be found here.
The fact that a branch of the Fairy Tail and Tartaros guilds are in Genessia (built by characters who were there previously) and one of the jobs is bounty hunting (which involves a lot of odd jobs, so basically what they already do in canon) makes it really easy to adapt. At the moment, Mavis, Zeref, and Erza are all living at the Fairy Tail guild hall, which can be a little awkward at times, to say the least.
From a player's standpoint, the game is really easy to get into. Just post on the Taken list and you're good - no application necessary! As long as you post somewhat regularly, respond to the check-in every couple of months, and stay in-character for who you're playing as, you're good to go!

...
But with that said I've been in Genessia on four separate occasions and there's a reason why. My drive to play any one given character for an extended period of time is... slim to say the least. I usually play all sorts of different characters in memes and psls, and such, so me and games have an on again off again relationship. Genessia is also a really packed game with so much to do, and it's so much fun, but it's so easy for me to commit to too much, overwhelm myself, and for me to feel like I'll disappoint people.
So... a good deal of this comes down to you. Your Erza has always been sort of the most IC Erza I've known, and I really respect the way you play her. So how do you feel about the idea of ships with her in game? It's probably kind of a big commitment to ask for considering the fact that I disappear a lot, usually for health reasons, and it might effect Erza if I had to drop. Then again, Erza's love life is kind of made of suffering with Jellal and all that. ^^;
Shipping is my ultimate weakness OTL, I would join a game for a ship, so if you weren't comfortable with playing Erza in that kind of scenario in Genessia, perhaps getting one of my other FT muses involved in a different ship could work too. Now I'm not for forcing characters into personal agendas, I kind of prefer things to go naturally? So like... if for instance I were to play Jellal, he'd probably just meet with Erza a few times as friends, catch up with her, perhaps join the FT guild, and try to become a man *worthy* of her. If it were Natsu or Gray, they'd probably have to work to prove that they've matured enough to be considered more than little brother status, actually make an effort, that sort of thing, which can be tricky to do icly because they're such dorks. With Mirajane, she'd probably try to turn Fairy Tail into a proper bar, and try to keep inviting Erza out for outings, and one day surprise her with the idea that they should go on a date. I've got a shipping scenario in mind for nearly any character I play, because as I said before, it's my ultimate weakness. *facepalm*
So... let me know what you think. Natsu, Erza, and Mirajane are the FT muses I've got paids for, though I played Mira in a rather nsfw setting before this, and you play Erza. ^^; I haven't made an account for Jellal yet, though I've been meaning to for a while and while I can pretty much play any FT character... here's my muselist so you can see which ones I've actively played.
no subject
As far as specific ships with Erza are concerned, my big ones would be Jellal and Mirajane, for opposite reasons.
With Jellal, the two of them are awkward, but have a lot of chemistry and provide a comforting presence for each other. However, any intimacy seems unusual considering how repressed both of them are. Meanwhile, Mirajane and Erza would have a lot of passion, between their rivalry and what happened during the Fairy Penalty Game chapter/OVA, but it's hard for me to picture them in any kind of normal dating setting. (though in both cases, either scenario could definitely happen, and I'd be willing to try playing them out)
I can see why people ship Natsu with Erza, but I feel like Erza views Natsu as more of a little brother, and as the final chapter showed, Natsu isn't too concerned with romance. I could potentially see it working, though in their own weird way - the two of them not realizing that things like eating dinner together or bathing together could be seen as romantic.
Gray has even more obstacles - not only does he have the same issues as Natsu, but Erza comes across as a Gray x Juvia shipper at several points, and she is well aware of how Juvia would react if anything came between her and Gray. I'd be willing to try the other three, but Erza x Gray just seems like it wouldn't work in my eyes.
No need to worry about disappointing people or committing to too much, though. One of the things that I love about Genessia is the fact that it's so relaxed, both in-character and out of character. As long as you post every so often, you're considered active (so if you're feeling burnt out or spread too thin, you can step back from the game for a bit and people shouldn't mind), and I tend to send out reminders when the activity check-in has been posted.
tl;dr version - I'd be willing to try it with most of the characters that you mentioned, but I don't know how good I would be at writing that sort of thing out.
no subject
You're also correct with Erza x Natsu (even if it's my greatest weakness), because it's probably the relationship that would go the slowest and need the most... work. Like even if the two of them were to hang out constantly they still wouldn't even realize they were dating each other, even if someone were to point it out they'd be like, "What? No, we're just friends." A relationship between them needs a huge sort of catalyst like the tower of heaven arc, or something of that nature. It could happen, but neither party are actively seeking it, and usually Natsu needs to be beaten over the head with romance for it to stick. Like Lissanna coming on super strong when they were kids was the main reason he developed a crush on her, but I'd say Lissanna as an adult doesn't really have all that much interest in him. Lucy's probably got romantic feelings for him, but Natsu is Natsu, and unless Lucy makes it painfully obvious that she wants that from him, he's not gonna get anywhere. In a Natsu/Erza scenario Natsu would probably have to be the one to seek out Erza because that's the way Erza is, and it's just not canonically very likely. TL;DR of this paragraph, Erza x Natsu is incredibly slow and not likely to get anywhere unless lots of outside modifiers push them together.
I would address Jellal x Erza, but you've pretty much summed it up perfectly. They're both sort of fail and shy with each other, so their relationship is definitely there, but almost as slow as Natsu/Erza.
So now we come down to Mira/Erza which I'm also willing to play, but it might end up slow romantically because... Erza. Sexually though, the two are... ^^; well... yeah... I think I summed it up best with Natsu where I said they basically try to top one another but they've matured past trying to do it via brawling, and do it in a more sexual bdsm context. That's not to say their relationship would be all sex, it's just it would take some transitioning for Erza's brain to realize what it was Mira wanted from her. Mirajane would probably have to pursue the relationship angle, but fortunately that's entirely plausible for Mirajane to do.

^ Have some short stories I wrote for fun on the idea of how Mirajane and Erza could possibly end up on a date together. Honestly, I don't really expect you to be all that good at writing ships, because Erza isn't very good with it herself. It's sort of a thing that she's not really with it when it comes to romance, even if she reads all sorts of trashy romance novels that Levy lends her. She's sort of socially awkward because she kept her heart encased in Armor for so long, and then opened up to the point where it confuses most people. She's a complex character and you handle her masterfully, so I think any ships that you'd be willing to try would probably still be VERY ic for Erza, and that's all I'm really looking for.
So I'm going to look at throwing in Mirajane, and she might slowly try to win Erza over because Erza's one of her few guildmates here, and she's fun even when she's the one on top. >:3 Sound reasonable?
(One final note, I'm fairly certain that Genessia is a SFW kind of comm, so I expect any sort of weird nsfw stuff the two might get up to would have to be played elsewhere if we wanted to actually play such things out rather than just letting it be assumed as to what happened.)
no subject
The rules on that sort of thing are listed here, but if it ever gets to that point, I figure it's better to leave anything NSFW implied to be on the safe side. (if there's any NSFW stuff that you want to thread out, we can use memes for that sort of thing)
I figure it would probably take a decent amount of build-up no matter who you go with, (given that Erza's either awkward or oblivious about this sort of thing) but I'm up for trying it if you are.
