The Rescue Me Meme

'Cause, sometimes, you just can't save yourself.


→ Post with your character's name, canon, and any preferences in the subject line
→ Those tagging, go to RNG and roll for a number between one and ten.
→ Alternatively, just pick the choice you're interested in most.



1. A Bad Date - You get a text, a phone call, or maybe you can just see the other person floundering on what clearly must be the worst date of their life. Time to step in and save the day.

2. Prison - Maybe they've been wrongly convicted, or maybe you're an accomplice. Either way, it's jailbreak. Maybe the guards will fall for the old 'wounded prisoner' technique.

3. Taken Hostage - They're being held at gunpoint, either for money or for fun. Maybe you can talk down their captors, or maybe you are a captor, secretly working to help them.

4. Abuse/Neglect - Your body is damaged, your suffering taken it's toll. You can't save yourself anymore. You're wounded, you're starving, maybe even dying. Someone, help.

5. Addiction - Just one more. Nothing bad will happen if you just get one more. Either way, you can't save yourself from this downward spiral. Someone else is going to have to help.

6. Yourself - One bad choice after another, your self-destructive tendencies are going to get the best of you unless someone steps in, quick, to save the day.

7. Climactic Situation - You're hovering over an active volcano, a pit of sharks, about to fall off a cliff. Whatever it is, you've only got precious seconds of life left.

8. Loneliness - You've been secluded, locked away, and the emptiness is overwhelming. You need company, or you might just drown.

9. Unwanted Social Function - A family reunion, your three o'clock board meeting, whatever it is, you desperately don't want to go. Hopefully your good buddy can come up with a distraction.

10. A Bad Romance - You're trapped in a relationship that's headed south, and you can't seem to get away from the other person. Looks like you need a helping hand, maybe a prince charming.

[ How can you save someone who intends to destroy themselves? That's the question Ramie is having trouble answering. In the immense depths of space, millennia can pass in the blink of an eye. Time has no jurisdiction here. Space is nothing more than a celestial graveyard for long-lost stars and long-dead worlds. Ramie had never traveled this far into space before, at least not willingly.

While space was mankind's final frontier, it was only the beginning for celestials like him.

Returning to this nothingness is rather distressing for him, but Ramie is unconcerned about his personal trauma. The only thing he cares about is locating the Chaos-bringer after what seems like centuries since their last encounter.

However, how can you find someone that doesn't want to be found? Ramie lets out a mental sigh. ]

[It is true that Unicorn doesn't want to be found or even live for that matter. Life is not worth being beat down continuously and mercilessly without a chance to breathe.

What literally kept him from Death’s door was the emergency stasis that kicked in when his energy reserves were depleted. And because of the length of time needed for a full recovery, the Chaos-Bringer was forced to transform into planet mode with only the most vital parts in his system running low enough to maintain survival.

But something else was there unbeknownst to all throughout the cosmos, a dream that would sooner or later become reality. To reunite with his late wife, daughter, and people - the very ones who truly cared and loved with all their heart, soul, and being, not…

He failed to avenge their deaths, failed to start anew with a newly established family, failed to guard his barely mended heart from unrelenting pain and suffering…

But he would be free from it all - no more tears, no more heartbreak, no more false hopes. Unicron shall rest in eternal peace; it's only a matter of time.]

[Basic gist: Largely faction-neutral Orion mercenary in her mid thirties, can be adapted into most any Star Trek timeline point for ease of RP, flirty, easy to get along with, but extremely observant. Pilot, mercenary, ship captain. Also comes in various Starfleet AU flavors as desired.

Either role.
