HOLLYWOOD AMNESIA MEME



You know the cliched plotline where someone loses their memory in some way, be it a bump on the head, being hit by a laser, enacting your evil plan to throw the good guys off your trail, or just randomly forgetting everything you ever knew one day just for the hell of it? Well, now you've gone and done it. You've lost your memory, Hollywood-style, and you can't remember who or what you are. Good going!

Not to be confused with an Amnesia: The Dark Descent meme. Sorry folks.

HOW IT WORKS:
- Tag the meme, leaving your character name, fandom, and any preferences in the subject line.
- Other character tags you.
- You tag back, and use the random number generator to select from the following options, either for you or the person tagging you. Or don't, and do whatever strikes your fancy. If you roll something your character already is, either roll again, go for human, or pick something that otherwise suits your fancy.
- Other character reacts, or is free to also roll on the table
- Play out the results.
- Have fun, but respect the preferences of others.
- And, of course, there may be triggers in this meme. So be warned.

1. Wake Up Time!: They've woken up. Maybe in a hospital, maybe on the street, maybe in a scientist's lair, but their first reaction is the same - they can't recall how they got there. Or where they were before. Or their name. Or...perhaps they don't remember anything from before waking up...and there's no identification on hand to help them out!

2. Try To Blend In...: Your character's decided to try and make the best of it, and embark on a new life, and new identity. Of course they can't escape the nagging feeling that they should be doing something entirely different with their life, but maybe they ignore it in favor of some normalcy. Or they stay forever curious about their forgotten life...

3. This Feels Familiar: Maybe its a place, or a person, or just a general feeling, but your character feels an incredibly strong sense of deja-vu about...whatever it is. It is strong enough to think that maybe - just maybe - this could be a clue to who your character really is! Now the question is - is it really?

4. How Could You Have Forgotten Me?: Oh boy. It was bound to happen. Someone runs up to your character to give you a giant hug, and they are just so happy to see your character is ok! Looks like your character's going to have to break the bad news to them - your character's never met them before now and don't remember ever meeting them. Your character can only hope they take it well as they try to explain this all to them...

5. You're On My Side, Remember?: Oh, hey, there's someone who seems to not only know who your character really is, but can explain that your character and he/she were the best of friends and did everything together and maybe there were these jerks that were responsible for their memory loss! There's just one problem - this person was actually your character's enemy pre-memory loss. Not that they remember this...which suits this enemy just fine.

6. Through Different Eyes: Maybe your character was rich pre-amnesia, and they're poor. Or evil, and they're good. Two things are for certain, however. Before your character lost their memory, your character and this other person have never met before - or if they have, they don't know they have. And they're both in the same bind somehow - kidnapped, about to be laid off, it could be anything - or just have something in common. Slowly, the two characters bond, becoming the best and unlikeliest of friends as they both go through life and its trials.

7. Lock and Load!: No memory loss plot is complete without some kind of battle! It can be an insanely epic superhero battle where your character's friends must fight your character - as an amnesiac enemy! Or it can be as normal as your amnesiac character arguing in front of the school board to prevent the under-funded program from being closed - by the company they ran before they lost their memory, ironically. Basically, a battle where your character's on a different side due to their amnesia.

8. Hulk Smash Your Head: The endgame. Someone has decided your character's been amnesiac long enough and is taking action! And thus, your character is about to get their memory - or have gotten it - back. How? How will they react when you remember everything and try to reconcile it with what they did (if they remember what they did while amnesiac, of course)? And...can someone get your character an aspirin!?

9. Joker's Wild. Mix, match, or make up your own!

THE TEST DRIVE MEME

Have a shiny new muse with that new-muse smell, that you'd like to try out? Or perhaps an older muse who's gone a little rusty that you'd like to dust off and get back in working condition? Then this meme is for you!

HOW TO PLAY:

1. Post your character/canon/preferences!
1a. It is highly encouraged that you include either a brief blurb in your comment about what sort of character this is/the world they come from/abilities they might have or link to an info page if you have one! (Example: "He's a hardened criminal with a heart of gold and a tragic past, coming from a world just like ours except it has dragons.")
2. Tag others, choosing from the scenarios below or making up one of your own! Tagging new folks and cross-canon is highly encouraged!
3. Vroom vroom! Get a grasp on that character's voice, have some fun, maybe meet some new people!
4. And of course, be awesome to each other. This is intended as a low-pressure meme for voice testing!

Possible scenarios:

1. Chance meeting: You're minding your own business, maybe at a store, or a coffee shop, and you bump into a stranger. Or perhaps you find yourself reaching for the same book on that shelf. Woops! Better introduce yourself.

2. It's the cops/bad guys/zombies! Run!: Maybe you just committed a crime and are being chased by the cops. Maybe you are a cop, chasing down a perp. Maybe it's the zombie apocalypse and the horde is on your tail. Whatever the case, some exciting action is about to ensue!

3. Keep it professional: For whatever reason, you're being forced to work with this person on something. Maybe it's a top secret government project; maybe it's a marketing campaign for a new product; perhaps it's a murder investigation. Either way, whether you like it or not, you're gonna have to cooperate on this one.

4. Blind date/speed dating: A mutual friend is trying to set you up! Or perhaps you are desperate for a love connection!

5. Tragedy: Something terrible has happened - perhaps a natural disaster, a bomb going off, or just someone got seriously injured or killed. Will you bond over it?

6. Wild card: Anything else your heart (or character voice) desires!
