♠ | OPEN MEME | MULTI-PURPOSE JAMJAR

[postictal]

the multi-purpose jamjar meme

it's fun, it's easy, and it's free. top-level with your preferences and then roll or pick from the settings/prompts listed below. fly with assumed cross-canon cr or toss some canon cr into some new and rocky situations. go hog wild.

I - SETTING

i. horror: you've been yoinked from your own world and thrown into a new and terrifying situation. roll with horrible monster transformations, hostile set-pieces, sadistic npcs, and more. all that matters is making it through the night. ii. survival: through some twist of fate or another, you've been allocated into a resource-poor environment. basic amenities like food, water, and shelter that you might have once taken for granted are suddenly either outright absent or require significant labor to attain. you're not just a stranger in a strange land - you're a stranger in a strange land with only your own wits to help you survive. iii. slice-of-life: ordinary cityscapes and peaceful suburbias are all very well and good, if you weren't stuck in them without a clear means of escape. the most you can do now is try to adapt to a peaceful life that you might have never had. you've been given a chance at normalcy, but not everyone's cut out to acquiesce to the ordinary day-to-day demands of schools, jobs, picnics, and what have you. relaxing can be tough, but here, you've got all the time in the world for it. iv. fantasy: not only are you stuck in a pre-industrial revolution hell, but now you've got these fancy new magic powers and special weapons, maybe even at the cost of whatever abilities you might have once had. now go forth and destroy the one ring or kill some giants or something. v. sci-fi: maybe you're trapped on a spaceship or on some newly colonized planet in the far-flung, distant future. maybe you're being drafted into a corrupt army, or trying to escape the nigh-omniscient artificial intelligence that monitors everything in a dystopian future-opolis. the setting's whatever you want it to be. vi. au / memory regain: your name's not the one you had and your life's not the one you lived...but it's not like you know that. maybe you're plagued by strange dreams of who you actually are, or someone from your world's been dropped into your new life to try and jog your memory. either way, you've always felt that something was off about this world and this life you've had. you could never tell what until now. vii. prison: some all-knowing or interdimensional or corrupt law enforcement has finally snagged you, and decided that you are unquestionably guilty. of what? who knows. maybe you're a legitimate criminal, or maybe you're genuinely innocent and imprisoned under false pretenses. no matter what the case is, you're being kept under lock and key and put under heavy surveillance. plot an escape with fellow inmates or sway a security guard to your cause - or maybe a friend of yours has managed to sneak their way in to try and break you out. viii. merc-work: you've been snatched from your home so you can do some high-quality work for some higher power. you're an assassin, a spy, a thief, or some other shady agent. tormented by the moral quandaries of your work? in it for the money? salty that your captors are responsible for forcing you into this? but then again, maybe playing along is your best chance of getting home... ix. wildcard: idk man do what you want i'm not a cop II - SITUATION i. first impressions: hey, i just met you, and this is crazy, but where the FUCK are we (so handle my stress-induced breakdown maybe)? ii. second impressions: hey, remember when we first met? nostalgia's really a trip, huh? when you're in a brand new world, you've got to hold onto whatever familiarity you can get. iii. an Event™: SOMETHING is happening and y'all have to deal with it. how are you coping? have you run into each other by chance, have you buddied up willingly, or are you stuck together in the middle of some hellish happenstance? iv. living conditions: congratulations, you're now being housed with a complete stranger. or maybe not. maybe you're friends back home or you've met before. regardless of how you generally get along with your new roomie, the stress of adapting to a new situation doesn't always make for a fun teething period. v. mysteries & conspiracies: what's a jamjar anyway? you're not about to take this lying down. whatever's going on here, whoever's abducting people from their worlds and whisking them away again, you're going to get to the bottom of it. no matter what it takes. vi. crau hijinks: hey, don't i know you? what, you don't remember? what are you talking about? we were best buds in that [unrelated previous game experience wherein you confessed your love or some shit]! don't you remember me? vii. grudging teamwork: for whatever reason, you're being forced to work with someone you don't know or can't stand. fight a monster, solve a puzzle, break out of confinement, find your way home, get unstuck or unlost, etc. you just have to work together to do it. viii. violent ends, violent means: got stuck facing each other in gladiatorial combat? facing off against a violent threat together? or maybe you ran into this absolute dipshit on the streets and decided you didn't like their face or whatever. look, i'll save you some time and just say that this is either going to be a magnet for some prime angst or hurt/comfort. ix. play the hero: swoop in and save the day from...whatever the heck's going on here. play the hero or the damsel, whether wanted or otherwise. x. network tomfoolery: idly commenting on proceedings, bored and spamming people's inboxes, figuring out what the heck this shiny thing and all the buttons do, etc. maybe there's an internet here. maybe you can send someone airbrushed ted cruz. i'm not going to say what you can and can't do. xi. inbox'd: leave a message after the beep! just kidding, they picked up. what'd you wanna chat about in private, champ? xii. wildcard: once again i ask do i look like a cop

Comments

Rin Asunaro | Shelter

[beautifulisolation]

[ Your average everyday teenage girl who just so happens to have spent the last ten or so years of her life in a virtual reality world under her control. No biggie. She's kind of quiet and weird on account of having spent so much time alone but if you're nice in her direction for like five seconds, she'll glom right onto you. Supremely reckless and has basically no sense of danger or self-preservation.

down to clown on basically everything except horror and AU settings! ]

[no prefs, will roll with whatever takes your fancy.]

nathan wallace | repo! the genetic opera

[sawman]

[yet another dude heralding from post-apocalyptic media wherein corporations have ruined everything. series of organ epidemics almost wiped out humanity but a biotech company was able to grow replacement organs to save people, thus amassing a lot of power. have since taken over everything and even lobbied a bill to legalize murder. repo men will come and take your organs if you default on your payments, like any other loan! how nice.]

[nathan has two dynamic sides to him. on one hand, he's the mild-mannered doctor who would give anything to protect his daughter but is simultaneously a very bad dad who restricts her freedom and stunts her growth with overprotective tendencies. on the other, he's also been blackmailed into being a repo man for seventeen years and to cope with the trauma of his work has developed a persona that has a genuine love of violence and revels in the misery he causes.]

[whichever one nathan chooses to display is heavily situation-dependent. i have no preferences, and will roll with whatever prompts!]

jodariel | pyre

[bloodborder]

[lorge demon lady with a grim, imposing demeanor and a soft center. war veteran who tends to pick up small children and adopt them. also notably illiterate. she's stern but she will protect her fam.]

[no preferences, hit me with whatever.]

Bryn Pendragon | OC

[draconite]

[ Impressions & info here! tl;dr: A super peppy, high-energy and low-wisdom traveling warrior with as many braincells as she has functioning eyes (which is to say, one). due to personal reasons, she is Out For Revenge. Mostly just here to have a good time and/or get into trouble. Cannot be trusted with her own braincell and is having SO MUCH FUN out here on her wild adventure.

open to everythin except horror and AU settings ]

Yuri | Doki Doki Literature Club

[impurifies]

[ Your typical Shrinking Violet (HEH) bookwork girl, who loves literature and art, especially fantasy, horror and gothic stuff. Super withdrawn and self-deprecating and bad at making friends with new people. Can be super clingy and a bit intense if you manage to engage her and get her out of her shell, but she's really just a lonely girl in need of some good friends.

usually for the purposes of memes and stuff I just play her as a regular-ass girl but if you wanna do anything with all the weird DDLC meta stuff, lmk

down for everything but horror and au settings. ]

Sophie Summerhelm | OC

[summerbloom]

[ Impressions and info here! An ex-sickly anime waif, alchemist and certified Good Girl. Exceedingly polite to the point of farce and aggressively sunshiney and eager to support her friends to combat for her relatively poor self-esteem. Does her best to Love Everyone, even if they're a bit of a shitter but anyone who's cruel to her friends is cruising for a bruising.

down for everything but horror and au settings. ]

Georgia Mason | Newsflesh

[choosetruth]

[Post-apocalyptic reporter. Social distance is her middle name. Wears a lot of black and sunglasses. Sometimes shoots zombies, often fucks up corrupt politicians. Will drink all of your Coke. Codependent with her brother and cranky with everyone else.

Down for anything.]

Dipper Pines | Gravity Falls

[krmvgivv]

[Small, excitable nerd. Likes secret codes and mysteries out. Dislikes triangles and being condescended to. Has definitely showered at least once this month.

Down for anything.]

Ahsoka Tano | Star Wars

[youngone]

[Either a Jedi or a former Jedi depending on canon point. Spunky. Has two lightsabers. Major badass. Child soldier. Not a fan of droids. Also available in Rebels form as nojedi.
