the HISTORICAL CHARACTERS meme
WHETHER YOUR CHARACTER IS CANON OR AN OC, WHETHER THEY HERALD FROM MEIJI JAPAN OR VICTORIAN ENGLAND (OR ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN), THIS IS THE MEME FOR YOU.

BECAUSE THIS MEME PROVIDES A SPACE TO LET HISTORICAL CHARACTERS MEET ACROSS AGES. HERE YOU CAN CHOOSE TO LET CHARACTERS INTERACT IN A GENERIC (BUT HISTORICALLY ADAPTED) JAMJAR OR YOU CAN AU YOUR CHARACTER INTO ANOTHER HISTORICAL CHARACTER'S DAY AND TIME. OR HAVE OTHERS DO THE SAME INTO YOURS.

AND HERE, HISTORY SPANS ALL ERAS FROM PREHISTORIC TO THE 1970s, SO A WIDE RANGE OF CHARACTERS IS ALLOWED. TO LUMP THINGS TOGETHER A BIT, FANTASY CHARACTERS AND STEAMPUNK CHARACTERS ARE ALLOWED TOO, IF THE AESTHETIC'S SUITABLE.

GO CRAZY AND HAVE FUN!

How to play -

1. Comment with your character's name, fandom and preference in the subject line.
2. It might be a good idea to state whether you're open to jamjarring or au'ing (or both) and what particular eras you're interested in.
3. Others comment to you with a prompt from this ancient prompt table or write a starter themselves, whatever gets those creative juices flowing.
4. Note that both historical and contemporary characters can tag top levels, as long as contemporary players are willing to au their characters into a historical setting.
5. Thread out those days of yore!

( info. julia hails from 59/60 AD and comes with themes of early christian history, so be warned. she is also blind. primarily interested in antiquity eras - such as ancient greece, rome, egypt, etc. but open to more. f/m for shipping, but always happy to do gen. )

( info. domitius heralds from 59/60 AD and comes with themes of early christian history, so be warned. primarily interested in antiquity eras - such as ancient greece, rome, egypt, etc. but open to more. m/f for shipping, but always happy to do gen. )

( info. not a historical character technically (he's a time traveler) but he lives and works in ww2 era europe. up for placing him in another era however. )

[Really open, preference to late 1800s to early 1900s. Feel free to PM if have questions or want to throw around ideas. I just mostly want to play around with time periods and do something fun so I am so down to whatever.]

[Victorian sex worker. I'm not picky about time periods though]

[While Maomao's original context is as a servant in the Rear Palace in not-Imperial-China, where the imperial concubines live, she can work in other settings easily. Anywhere a teenage girl playing Dr. House would be interesting.]

[ For all your 1950s, early 1960s needs. Also open to AUing her to other time periods. ]

[Content warning for who the Kid is and his timeline of events, he comes from the 1850s-80s, in the American Southwest during the end of the Mexican-American war, when the "wild west" was a bloody hellscape. His book-relevant events here.]
