The All-Purpose JamJar Meme

For that authentic Jamjar experience without the pesky commitment. Roll or pick from a setting and a prompt below! Drum up some assumed CR with strangers! Jamjar settings are officially the best when you want to do a cross-canon tag-out but just can't be assed to think of a way to fit your character in another one's canon.

I - SETTING

1. Horror: Your characters are taken from their own worlds and thrown into a terrifying situation! Things are creepy, resources are scarce, and ensuring your own survival is paramount.
2. Sex Game: For whatever contrived and nonsensical reason, your characters are forced into a world where they gotta bone. Aside from smutstuff, you have the opportunity to play out how very awkward it is to navigate these agreements and encounters before and after. Lasting bonds can form from something you didn't expect! But so can eternal regret.
3. Slice of Life: Characters are forced to live together in familial units. They have an opportunity here -- in spite of being stuck -- to relax and slow down and do some fun, ordinary things. Picnics, dates, school, etc.
4. Fantasy: Characters are forced into guilds and roles, given weapons and are made to utilize their powers in coordinated units to complete missions.
5. Scifi: Characters are thrust on to the frontier of spacial colonization! Characters on a spaceship! Characters being drafted into an Imperial Earth Army to fight/conquer foreign entities! Characters being in a world where they are assessed, identified, tracked and policed by artificial intelligence! And so on!
6. Reincarnation/ New Identity: Your character has been reborn at this game, or given a new identity. Work out their karma or help them come to terms with having to live a new life.
7. Asylum/Prison/Institutionalized Identity: Characters are locked up and put under heavy surveillance. Slowly they are institutionalized and disintegrated from ordinary social rules of engagement. They could be told that they've been identified as mentally dysfunctional, or they could be in prison! Are they pleading their innocence, or do they know they're guilty as fuck back in their world?
8. Assignment-Based/Mercenary/Survival: Characters have to put their skills to good use as drafted mercenaries. Help your captors assassinate, spy, sabotage, infiltrate, steal, and terrorize for points that will lead up to your freedom or the freedom of others.
9. Your Choice!: Do whatever!

II - SITUATION

1. First Impressions: You never forget your first impression of someone. Unless it was entirely forgettable.
2. Oh Hey Again: I kind of know you!!!! Hi!!! I hate this place but love familiarity hi!!!
3. Event: SOMETHING IS HAPPENING and your characters have either run into each other or sought each other out to stick together during it!
4. Living Quarters: Surprise, your characters are in the same house! Or room! Or building! Either way you have to share space and facilities with this person. Enjoy!
5. Mystery: Who Did It? Why Are We Here? Characters are disappearing, people are dying, whatever is happening it is FISHY!
6. Canon Update/Respawn/"But we know each other, I swear!": One character comes (back) to a game and does not remember previous CR. A relationship or friend or even hateship is forgotten. How will this be dealt with?
7. Begrudgingly Working Together: You are so fucking annoying but I guess we have to fight Monster of the Day Together/Get Unstuck-UnLost Together/Find Our Way Back/Help Each Other Out.
8. Is This a Date: Gee, you guys sure are doing a lot of things that people on dates do and you're having a lot of fun [sweats]...
9. Violence: Characters beat the shit out of each other or help each other out of a gory situation with terrible traumatic injuries or something!
10. One-Sided(?) Crush: How do you get their attention? Or, alternatively, how do you ignore that this person obviously is crushing on you and it's totally awkward
11. Protecting/Saving: Your character's chance to be a hero or a damsel!
12. Network Post: Mandatory bs.
13. Inbox: Hey, can I talk to you for a second? In private?
14. Your Choice!: Do whatever!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

(fantasy* or scifi settings highly preferred, and would rather keep antagonistic interactions to a minimum. conflict is fine as long as there's room for a resolution. shipping and smut are fine, if it goes that way.

the locked up setting would also work well for her, actually. government or scientific prisoner maybe?

*ASOIAF/HotD/GoT, come at me <3)

(info on her journal. any setting except 6. pretty cool with the situations.

bexthered also available for fantasy/historical stuff.)

1-7 are all good with me. (Though I have a strong preference for mingling some amount of spookiness in any setting.) I just live for picking my guy's brain, and putting him in new worlds to meet new folks. He’s adaptable and has a lot of growing to do, and a lot of trauma to work through. He's also highly curious and loves pulling backstories out of even the most tight lipped characters. Got something you want to explore with your guy but they would never willingly talk about it? Here’s a bonafide human can opener to do the job.

Love to ship with him. Requited or not. Toxic or healthy. But I'm open to all, platonic is good and fun too! Harry also makes a fun older uncle figure for younger characters.

He’s a walking bag of content warnings but he’s also devoted, deeply in love with the world, and comes with a side of an amnesia induced sense innocence. A bit like having a kicked dog, desperate for affection following you around. Very manipulable.

Generally I pull him from his lowest point, the bad ending. Where he’s wounded and has been left to die. But less depressing pulls are also available ofc!

[I didn't manage to play much DE - the game is a bit too big-brained for my pea-brain - but if you'd like a wolf cop who could relate to some of the stuff Harry's had to deal with, and see if they click or not? I think that'd be cool. :O

[Like, uh, feeling a bit blasé about death and the like (but not as bad as Harry has it, from what I've read in your info about him.) He's a literal doggo that just wants some head-pats and to know that at least one less person in the world isn't among the many that look at him with derision. He'll generally admit that much, but good luck with getting him to admit what's under all that, though. However, he likes to talk. A lot. (In-canon, there's at least one instance where his words trail out of the speech bubble, so that only stuff in the middle can be read.)

[Disclaimer, he's apparently half Harry's age - in as far as I headcanon Alivian's at around 24 years old. If anything hits a shipping lean (if you want,) I'm happy with the age gap.

[Good with all the skills' narratives you want to throw in. Also any of the warnings, except for incel stuff.

[Alivian is generally a good boy (and will melt if told as much,) but has some inclinations for manipulation by omission if a situation hits on his One Need to Not Die/soften his medusa-like eyes power. He's liable to worry more about other people at his own expense, so I could see him absolutely wanting to help Harry out just on principle that it's the right thing to do (even if he knows most other people back home wouldn't do that for him.)

[Premise-wise, I'm not so sure, but we should definitely include horror notes, since that's good stuff. Admittedly, the main horror tropes I'm familiar with are typically stuff you'd find in Silent Hill stuff. Just a bunch of spooky/surreal/body horror visuals and confronting the self. It's not the only thing I'll write, but it's the stuff that's in my immediate "yeah I know this" zone.

[Er, anyway, only if you want something with this loyal wolf who... probably won't use Harry as a squeaky toy. Probably. :)]

[I am absolutely down for any of the settings and situations, and am willing to AU her accordingly or help hash out an appropriate AU for one or both of our characters (including hashing out any handwaved CR). I've been debating joining an actual game for the first time in years, and this would help me narrow down my choices considerably, so let's do a thing!]

( m/f for shipping/smut, ota gen. )

[Down for any setting other than 2/7 - Arid is a rogue AI running around in a combat suit, and fits readily into a sci-fi setting, but messing with her assumptions and forcing her to adapt to a totally unfamiliar context would also be very fun! Happy to hash out a scenario/assumed CR!]

[Anything's good.]

[ not interested in memloss or asylum/prison, but otherwise ota. ]

[I'd prefer something light hearted, but let me know any ideas you have.]

[M/F for shipping.]

[ Hit me with whatever strikes your fancy! ]

Bio-. A man from a world where once a month, somewhere in the world is struck by a reality-altering event. He has recently joined the organisation that combats paranormal events and supernatural criminals, using his transmogrification powers.

I love some jamjar. I especially love Assignment-Based/Mercenary/Survival, Ask before sex game but still open to it, open to all options!

[most settings are fine, including powerloss.]

((Old muse is old and dusty, go easy please?

Setting okays:
5: Sci-fi is a given
3: Slice of life
7: Prison- Moya was originally a prisoner transport ship

Honestly I'm okay with any of them if the idea works. Only hard no is 2 of course

Situation okays: Really anything but date and crush are fine, and no shipping))
