The OOC RP Discussion Meme


[How To]

1. Discuss anything to do with RP-ing - Plots you want to try out, characters, characterization, head canon/fan theories, game ideas, meme ideas, fic and fanart ideas, AU and crossover ideas, Verse/PSL ideas, etc, etc. Game and comm promotions are fine, too.

2. Comments can be anon or non-anon, it's up to you.

3. Please do not bash, flame or name drop any mun or game in a negative fashion. No wanking, please!

4. Have fun!

caught in the act meme!

The "Would you do x if y" meme.

Basically the characters ask questions like "Would you travel all over the world if it meant you couldn't return home?"

A FMA AU meme. Preferably with all the canon spinoffs included. Manga, both TV anime series, the movie, etc.

I'd love to see a Lovecraftian horror meme. I need a horror fix.

A Far Cry 3. Really, who doesn't want to be on an island that's trying to kill you and caught int he middle of a war between the natives and the invaders?

I was going to copy-paste this from my Tumblr but it was too much of a mess, so here's a retype.

Rather than characters getting pulled into a new world, they're dropped into some sort of neutral zone that looks like a stereotypical Mount Olympus or Asgard or some other diety-residence. They discover that they are now the god of their very own planet - which won't be able to progress without their intervention. Their godly powers get recharged by interacting with other newly-chosen deities. (OOCly, perhaps you get a certain amount of points for each successful activity check passed, which you can 'spend' on modifying planet?)

I dunno, I just think it'd be cool.
(Imagine certain characters refusing to intervene at all without sacrifices/worship. And laugh. And then also imagine the adorable, benevolently concerned gods some other characters would be.)

Very interesting and unique idea. I like it.

Re: Game Ideas

[personal profile] anonyhamster 2013-08-06 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
It does sound interesting.

Do they get extra power from their followers worshiping them?

OP

(Anonymous) 2013-08-07 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, I never really worked that out. I feel like that'd be hard to have a fair way to determine without any mods seriously stressing themselves out deciding on each case (unless it was a loyalty perk or something? 'I stayed in the game for 4 months so my character now has followers').

To be honest I've got no idea what to do with this idea even if people do like it, I've never tried to start a game and I wouldn't trust myself with one.

Could do it as an activity perk. Passing AC gives a small, static boost to followers, and activity beyond AC minimums give more on a scale.

Rapture/Columbia setting. Basically, Rapture with the Luteces. After creating the tear device, Ryan coopts it to seek out more technologies to get a leg up on Fontaine in the unending race for mastery over Rapture.

Of course, they lose control of the tears in Rapture, Fontaine getting to listen through some, Lamb through others, and people start filtering through whether they want to or not. Nosebleeds throughout Rapture quickly go on the rise. Eventually, the Luteces manage to focus them in one certain laboratory - maybe call it Charon's Wharf, to stick with the Rapture theme - but it's too late. Now all three sides of the Rapture disaster have access to technology throughout the universes, and the three faction leaders have to try to recruit the newcomers to their sides.

There's only one thing that they all agree on: nobody in Rapture can go to the surface. Not permanently. Rapture goes to the winner, and with the wealth of technology now in the city, she is quite the prize to be won.

Player characters get to be tempted with tonics and plasmids, risk everything to smuggle contraband, be threatened with becoming Big Daddies, and exist under threat of death (and reanimation thanks to Vita-Chambers) if they break Ryan's rules.

Based on a thread I did in an Apocalypse Meme forever ago: Earth is pretty much wiped out by some kind of cataclysm (giant asteroid impact, supervolcano, nuclear war, whatever). Some friendly passing aliens pick up as many survivors as they can and drop them on a nice habitable earthlike planet to start over again.

General gameplay would just involve trying to rebuild civilisation, dealing with the aftermath of most of humanity getting wiped out (could even do some fun stuff with people who'd been on opposite sides having to work together if you went for the nuclear war route), all that jazz. Gamewide events could involve dealing with crises on the new homeworld: extreme weather/natural disasters, disease, carnivorous local flora and fauna, a splinter group from the survivors going off to found their own settlement and stirring up trouble along the way...the possibilities are endless.

The nice thing is that you could easily bring in any character from any modern setting, and it would be very easy to fit OCs in.

Teen Wolf/Marvel/Supernatural

[personal profile] bostonhowler 2013-08-05 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
So. It's me again. Onto what I'd like:

For [personal profile] bostonhowler:

- Crossover: I love crossovers. Especially things to thread out concerning her being a werewolf, and maybe introducing the other person to pack life/how to be a werewolf. Or someone introducing her to life away from the pack, and thus breaking her submissive attitude a bit. Make her a bit more independent.

- AU: I'd love to do an arranged marriage for the safety of the pack or her being auctioned off because she's a good strong worker and well educated. I'd also love something where she actually has to fight for her life, and can't depend on the pack as much as she does.

- Gen: So, this is going to require a Peter/Derek Hale. I really want to thread out her going to Beacon Hills, and trying to find a new Alpha. Peter for the mindfuckery of it, and Derek for the not so much mindfuckery as just using her for his own purposes.

Marvel muses:

- [personal profile] thebetterweapon: Sabretooth. For him, I'd love a long term PSL with a Wolverine where they aren't trying to kill each other, but are working together. Either Team X days, or some other reason. (Shipping for them is fine, but I love the build up to it.)

- [personal profile] southernreaper: Wither. I'm looking for a Elixir or Mercury to ship with. Canon compliant/AU/whatever. I DON'T CARE. I'm also open to cross canon and anything else. I love AUs though. All of them.

- [personal profile] thelittlestbub: Jubilee. Ugh the AUs/shipping I want to do with her. Scott, Warren, Bobby, Nightcrawler, Angelo, Chamber, I could be convinced to ship with anyone except Logan and the Prof/Magneto. Het only.

Supernatural:

[personal profile] justrunsasaloon/[personal profile] ellen_harvelle: My two Ellen Harvelle accounts. For Ellen I'm looking for the following things Meme/PSL:

Bobby: (I ship them like BURNING)

Precanon: I'd like something where they're meeting for the first time. Or something where he stops by the Roadhouse after Bill's death, and they end up sharing a couple nights of mutual comfort/whatever. Maybe something where they ask the other one for help with a hunt.

Canon: A PSL/meme where they're researching, or he's putting her back together after a nasty hunt.

Post-canon: Where she meets him in Heaven and takes him back to the Roadhouse, and they're keeping an eye on the boys and he calls them 'idjits' and she calls them 'Winchesters' and maybe some shenanigans.

John Winchester:

Precanon: A meme/PSL where they end up hooking up for a night or two, despite their animosity over Bill's death.

AU: Where Bill dies, but not because of John's ineptitude. Maybe something where they combine forces and she raises the boys/Jo together and John doesn't get nearly as obsessed with hunting as he was and the boys have a real home.

Willing to consider pretty much any AU (would love to play with a Chris Argent as old hunting buddies/something or a Peter Hale Where she knows about werewolves and is an old friend of the Hales/or maybe Bill's a friend/distant relative) and love playing off other SPN muses.

[personal profile] flyht 2013-08-05 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
This is probably a long shot, but I figure it can't hurt to ask. I was wondering if there are any Snow White and the Huntsman RPers who would be interested in the occasional meme thread or PSL or whatever, with an AU Prince Hal (the Hollow Crown) as one of the ravens that helped Snow White escape. I'd really love to thread with a Ravenna or Snow, specifically, but really any SWATH players in general because there needs to be more of them out there. Does anybody out there play William? D: Dwarves?

I wrote a quick blurb of Raven's info here for anybody who would be interested. Though really, even non-SWATH characters, I'd like to toss this AU around more so if anyone would be at all curious. Fantasy-type would probably be best considering the character, but yeah, just putting this out there on the off chance there's an interested party o/

(Anonymous) 2013-08-06 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
omg. I am super interested. I had a Snow White account... but I disabled it a while back because I wasn't actually using it at all. u_u Perhaps I shall make another.

[personal profile] flyht 2013-08-06 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Only if you feel up to it, of course! I wouldn't want to push, but I will do my best to make it fun if you're interested :)

Any general ideas on how to start plot using semi-obscure characters? I'm always afraid I impose on people in different fandoms.

Re: PSL / Verse Ideas

[personal profile] anonyhamster 2013-08-06 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
That depends on the characters, I think.

Which characters are you thinking of?

(Anonymous) 2013-08-06 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Two memes that don't need to be posted every week: this one and random scenario. Seriously, please. Whenever RS gets posted everyone flocks to musedump there and ignores everything else. Please make it a once a month or less thing.

[personal profile] anonyhamster 2013-08-07 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
I disagree.

The once a week works fine for all the memes, methinks.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-07 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
If the same handful of memes gets repeatedly posted every week then there's no room for new memes. That sounds incredibly boring to me, but maybe you just like blandness.

[personal profile] anonyhamster 2013-08-08 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
There are new memes being posted every week, among the old standbys.

Maybe you just aren't paying attention to them?

(Anonymous) 2013-08-09 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe other people aren't tagging into them because they're too busy spamming RS. Which was my original point. Maybe you just aren't paying attention?

[personal profile] anonyhamster 2013-08-09 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
People are tagging into them.

Not posting a popular meme is not automatically going to get more tags for other memes, you know.

rs has a purpose and i've used it many times before to voice test characters in

(Anonymous) 2013-08-09 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. That's why I requested posting it once a month, not banning it entirely.
