THE DARING RESCUE MEME


★ HOW DOES IT WORK?
1) Post as your character, listing your ideas and preferences for the scene.
2) The rescuer replies. They can select the scenario, or they can leave it to you to do it.
3) Whoever's doing the picking hits up the RNG to choose the scenario and reason - or just pick your own!
4) Play it out! You can play out the rescue itself if you want, or just the aftermath--or both.

★★ WHO ARE YOU RESCUING THEM FROM?
1] Their greatest enemy. For whatever the reason, the character's greatest enemy has finally made a move and taken them captive. Who knows what they plan to do to the poor character? Good thing you've come to save them.
2] Your greatest enemy. Your own enemy has decided to make a move against you--but not directly. They've taken this character hostage instead. Show them who's boss and rescue the victim!
3] Natural disaster. Come hell or high water, you'll save the character...and, in fact, it has come hell (in the form of fire, maybe) or high water (perhaps a flood?). Or something like that. Whatever. The point is, nature itself has it out for the character, and it's up to you to save them.
4] Wild animals. Stephen Colbert was right: bears are the number one threat. Or maybe lions. Make sure the character doesn't become dinner.
5] Supernatural forces. Actually, it's dragons. Or evil wizards. Or demons. Take your pick, just so long as you rescue the character from them.
6] Pirates. Just what the pirates intend to do with this character might be a mystery--could be they'll walk the plank, or worse. Time to pluck them from the hook-hands of danger.

★★★ WHY ARE YOU RESCUING THEM?
1] Love. The fairy tales have it right. It's true love that spurs the knight to rescue his fair maiden...or vice versa.
2] Friendship. It's not always about kisses and ravishing, you know. Sometimes, you've just gotta look out for friends and family, no matter what sticky situations they get themselves into.
3] Rivalry. Only you're allowed to dish it out to the character! Better make sure no one else gets in your way.
4] Debt. The character owes you, in one way or another. They don't think they can get off easy, do they?
5] Money. Plain and simple: you were hired for the task. It's nothing personal, just business.

Comments

Rumi | KPop Demon Hunters | OTA

[denyingit]

[Either role. OTA gen/platonic and she's 23-24 so shipping 20+ OTA. Castmates (especially JINUS), crosscanon, crossmedium, canon mashups, assumed CR, AUs, OCs etc all always welcome. Not interested in rescuing from wild animals.]

Delia Battista ✨ Star Trek OC ✨OTA, 21+

[attackpatternbattista]

[Basic gist: Largely freelance 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. Gen, shipping, whatever, cross-canon, cross-medium, bring it all on.

Most likely the rescuer, but I'm willing to play either role with discussion.]

Enji Todoroki | My Hero Academia | ota

[flashfirefist]

[Willing to be rescuer or rescued. He doesn't need a reason to rescue anyone; he's a hero and will do so no matter what. Not interested in wild animal rescue.]

Pennywise | IT Franchise | OTA18+

[the_galloo]

[Someone or something takes your character and Pennywise is not happy about them taking what's his.]

sandor clegane (the hound) | asoiaf

[houndedby]

[typically a rescuer but being rescued is interesting.]

Leon S Kennedy | Resident Evil

[alwayscomplicated]

[ooc: m/f for shipping, ota for gen/platonic. prefs in journal for ships. cross canon, cross medium & assumed cr welcomed!

Likely the rescuer but can be the one who is rescued.]

Grace Ashcroft | Resident Evil

[bloodinjector]

[ooc; ota for gen or shipping. Assumed cr, cross canon & cross medium welcomed!

She can be in either role.]

Claire Redfield | Resident Evil

[survivalbadass]

[ooc; ota for gen or shipping. Assumed cr, cross canon & cross medium welcomed!

Either role works for her ]

Grantaire | Les Miserables

[absinthes]

[Either works; can do canon or modern/reincarnation AU!]

Cloud Strife | FFVIIR | OTA

[nimbuster]

[Usually the big damn hero, but I'd be interested in him needing a rescue this time. OTA for gen or shipping, canon or crosscanon welcome. Any prompt except wild animals (but monsters are fair game).]

Ekko | Arcane

[timepeace]

[Probably rescuer but can go either way!]

bryan hodukavich | resident evil

[goredash]

Chase | Dispatch

[hesarunner]

[If rescuer, I will probs tag from younger!him hesatrackstar]

William Laurence | Temeraire

[firmus]

Galahad | Arthuriana

[peryglus]

legolas | tolkien

[silvaticum]

[ probably rescuer, but open to being rescued. ota gen, cross-canon, aus and castmates welcome. ]

Shen (Yuan) Qingqiu | SVSSS

[peerlesschrysanthemum]

[Either role, though in terms of being the rescuer, 4 and 5 are very unlikely reasons for him to be doing it for.]

Simon | Iron Lung | ota

[butcherbox]

[Either role, but I'm kind of curious to have him rescue someone else for once, since it's usually him getting pulled from the wreckage of the Iron Lung. Plot with me.]

Cassandra de Rolo | Critical Role

[ofwovenstone]

[Canon, crosscanon, AUs, assumed CR, I'm here for all of it. Either role. m/f for shipping.]

Rocket (Humanoid!AU) | MCU

[ceptme]

[Could easily be in either role, although odds are good that if you're the rescuer you'll find him in some stage of attempting to break himself out. General prefs here]

[protectoroftheskies]

[Okay but I really love the idea of him rescuing Carol 👀]

[ceptme]

[Not the way round I thought that was going to go 😂 If you've got something in mind, go for it]

caleb widogast | critical role

[stayontask]

[ ota, especially similar fantasy canons. interested in either role but canonmates preferred for assuming romance, some prefs in journal. ]

tommy maximoff | mcu

[refract]

[ Good with either role, but lbr, if he's the rescuer, he may end up needing some rescuing, so a team up??? Not really interested in wild animals unless we do a Jurassic Park or Godzilla-esque thing. Preference is assumed CR.

OTA! ♥ Please mark for VisionQuest spoilers. ]

Ri!Kusuriuri | Mononoke (2007)

[meds4sale]

[He doesn't exactly have the greatest track record on this front (re: almost the entire Sakai family), but he's been known to occasionally get everyone through a dangerous situation without anyone biffing it. Could also go the other way with him either feigning being the damsel in distress (for Reasons) or actually being in danger for realsies.]

Midge Maisel | The Marvelous Mrs Maisel

[doesntsing]

[ Either role. M/F for shipping. ]

Lois Lane | DCU/Superman (2025)
