the meme for
O R I G I N A L C H A R A C T E R S

Top levels in this meme are for original characters only! Canon characters may tag around as they please.
Include some info about your character, or a link to their bio/stats page (especially if they are from an original universe as well). Want to bait the hook? Include a scene prompt or two!
Anyone top-leveling is strongly encouraged to tag out too! Give what you hope to receive.
YMMV. Don't be a jerk, and don't get discouraged.
Respect your fellow creators and have fun!

PROMPTS
1. meet cute
You're bumping into each other for the first time! Are you being introduced by friends, or is it just happenstance? Are you in a coffee shop? On a college campus? At a bar? In the middle of an assassination attempt? The world is a wide and wonderful place.
2. romance
The sparks are flying. Don't let good chemistry go to waste.
3. conflict
Sometimes characters are gonna butt heads. That's some good drama right there. Mortal enemies? Or just can't agree on whether sandwiches should be cut horizontally or diagonally?
4. just texting
More of a format than a prompt in this case. Low pressure, low impact, perfect for voicetesting.
5. hurt/comfort
Whether new, assumed, and established CR, one of you is suffering and the other is here to help. Are your wounds mental, physical, or emotional?
6. the dirty one
Look. Sometimes you just wanna bone. No one's judging you. We're all filth here.
7. wildcard, obviously
(You grew a person from your own imagination, you don't need our help. Enjoy!)

[ basics. just your modern world ballet chick who has fought hard for a place in her company only to be torn down first thing when the AD gives her a leading role. femme lesbian, not out-out, but mostly because no one asks, wouldn’t lie if they did. lonely and ostracized at work, finds companionship (and more???) with the girl they all pit her against. is a foreigner in the country where she came to dance, after her dream company turned her down for a spot in the corps. good for coffee dates/juice joints/casual clubbing, dinner on the town or dinner home, netflix and actually chill as well as more theatre specific fan meetings, fellow performers, sponsoring gigs, etc. if you have an idea, toss it at me. no smut, but love friendship and found family. ]

[ More detailed info on her journal. TL;DR contract killer with a no-good-very-bad past and a lot of lingering trauma from it, just trying to muscle through her day to day without facing it. She's very good at killing people and/or getting information from them, but she's also excellent at training her beloved Doberman, Hades, and even better at playing the violin. Which, you know. Are both far more pleasant to think about.

Her sleep schedule is fucked to next Tuesday, so if you're looking for midnight calls/texts asking for help or moral support, she's your woman - 2am meetings at bars also work, 100% the kind of person you want in your court if you're prone to getting into trouble, would hide a body as long as the Thai food you get her in return is top notch. Open to shipping, but it'd need to be slow burn - friends, neighbours, fellow dog owners she met at the park, or colleagues are also so very welcome. She needs found family! She can be a little cold and withdrawn for a while after meeting her, but once she's sussed someone out and has warmed to them, she's a laugh. ]

Standard version: He's the lovechild of Arthur, Ariadne and Eames (he's Ariadne's bio child, and definitely one of the other two, but it's a reasonably happy triad situation so they don't really care whose he is for sure) and got into the dreamshare business that way.
Variants: none yet
Storylines they're good for: Pretty much anything, honestly, because the fun thing about being an Inception character is that literally anything could just be a practice-run dream-scenario.

Standard version: Full info is on his profile page, but basically fire sprite that works in the Library (not the one from the Librarians series, I was a very angry child when they 'stole' my idea, but now it makes me laugh) which is like Watcher's Council/Special Unit 2/Ghostbusters/Other supernatural-tracking-and-containment agency du jour.
Variants: None yet
Storylines they're good for: It's always fun to toss him into other time periods while still having the same job, co-worker shenanigans are fun, basically he's pretty versatile!

Standard version: Full info is on her profile page, but short version is that she's one of Kevin Flynn's programs from the OG Grid, the first waitress at the End of Line club.
Variants: I've definitely tossed her into other universes, Star Wars, general cyberpunk dystopias, pretty sure I gave her a fantasy realms/D&D version at one point.
Storylines they're good for: Anywhere there's need for a waitress who may or may not be part of any local underground scene (in both the music and the resistance meanings) she'll fit right in!

Standard version: Full information on her profile, basically she's a member of the Zodiac Ops (shoutout to any of y'all from LJ SWS who remember) a group of mercs and specialists for hire.
Variants: None yet
Storylines they're good for: All the Action Movie™ sterotype plots, but could AU her into fantasy world settings as well, gang of murder-hobos etc.

Standard version: Info is on his profile, short version is that he's one of the Gingerbread House Project kids (if any of y'all are from the LJ days and remember) which was one of those fictional quasi-governmental projects to make super-powered kids, in this case based on fairy tales. He's the youngest of the three little pigs
Variants: None yet
Storylines they're good for: He could easily fit into X-Men or similar universes, but basically anywhere you've got a tragically sheltered kid who's now an adult trying to navigate his way in the world.

Standard version: Full info is on his profile, basically he's one of the few remaining Grigori in the world, the choir of angels who was tasked with teaching the newly-minted humans everything they'd need to know.
Variants: Being technically immortal means I've dumped him in various historical settings (though for much of the time he was trapped in a square mile of valley out in the desert) but also protecting folks in various apocalyptical settings (usually presiding over a valley sanctuary)
Storylines they're good for: You name it! He's a bartender, but that can lead to so many things. I usually let him play juicebox for vampires and he can see ghosts, and can usually pick other supernatural entities out of a crowd, but he's generally chill and not about to out anybody.

Standard version: Info is on her profile, basically she's one of the last remaining Van Helsing descendants, but she doesn't actively hunt vampires (outside of the Dracul line) and instead works as a barista.
Variants: She's another one that I've played with historical settings on, and I've had her being tapped as a Slayer in the post-death, activate-them-all era of Buffy
Storylines they're good for: Action and adventure and all the variations thereof! But also sitting back and watching your more obsessive/more qualified cousins do things from the sidelines.

Standard version: Info is in her profile, but basically she's a weird little fashion designer whose dad was guitarist in the band that ended the world and whose mom was the Town Hero (also she's got Muppets in her ancestry, it's weird, she'll happily explain though)
Variants: I've had her as a stylist for Hunger Games AUs, a weird little shop owner/designer in Star Wars things (with a grandfather/great grandfather who might have been doing Darkside stuff) and even plopped her into Stranger Things with a mother who was a Norwegian aerobics instructor and a father who was part of a reasonably well-liked metal band.
Storylines they're good for: You need a weird college roommate? A weird fashion designer for a runway show/Met Gala/Some Other Event? Do you need some small items inexplicably stuck to another item? She's your girl!

Standard version: Info on his profile, basically he's a high-end escort who used to be a soldier
Variants: He started out as a Firefly-'verse Companion (hence the username) who'd joined up with the Resistance and then went back to Companioning afterwards, but I've dropped him in other universes as well, works for Star Wars, D&D etc.
Storylines they're good for: Anywhere they've got boywhores he'll fit right in, that's basically it. But I'm always happy to plottier things with him.

Standard version: Info on his profile, X-Men universe mutant with voice-based psionic abilities
Variants: Sometimes he's a vampire, sometimes he's a bard, generally he's a full-on rockstar, but sometimes he's still up and coming.
Storylines they're good for: Anything, really, musicians with powers are ridiculously easy to place.

Standard version: Info on her profile, basically she's a were-leopard living in a community of the same (and quaint vacation town, the B&B is great) in the PNW... somewhere.
Variants: None currently
Storylines they're good for: Any sort-of real-world will work, but I'm happy to toss her into D&D/Fantasy type universes, you know, basically anywhere a were-leopard waitress with three older brothers would fit in.
