the ( one thing i like about you ) meme
You've known this person forever. Wait. Reverse that. Scratch it out. You've never met this man in your life. No matter what the case may be, you've still got one little niggle in that brainpan of yours while they're standing in front of you.
You have to say, out loud, the one thing you find intrinsically, insanely attractive about them. Physically. Mentally. Randomly. After being familiar with them your whole life. After meeting them two seconds ago. You have to bear this burden. What's better (or worse)? They have to do the same in return. The two of you, stuck in this tango, must continue until someone breaks the curse, all secrets are revealed, you go insane, or kiss.
All of those options all at once is also accepted.

BLURRED  For most people, the lines between platonic and romantic are very clearly drawn. Not true for you two; friendship and romance intermingle in your relationship, and to be honest, it's hard to discern where one ends and the other begins. You're bosom buddies. There's a spark between you. You're lovers, too, maybe, or it could be completely innocent. You're love interests. You're intimate, you're close, you're ride or die. You don't understand why romantic and platonic can't coexist. You don't need labels. HOW TO PLAY

WARRIOR/GUARDIAN AU MEME
In a world rife with war against monstrous fiends, there are those praised for their natural strength and healing abilities. Marked with a symbol which represents either a sword or shield, these individuals are further powered when contracted with those bearing the opposite symbol. Because of this, contracts are deemed mandatory once an individual turns eighteen years of age.
While contracted, Warriors (sword) and Guardians (shield) become sensitive to one another's emotional and physical states. The stronger the bond between them, the more power and abilities can be unlocked. While it's possible to form and break contracts at any given time, the result is a numb and draining sensation which takes time to recover from, making it in everyone's best interest to keep a lifelong contract. After all, the most legendary pairs are the ones who've been together for many years. And with monstrous armies constantly on the attack, the world needs all the help it can get.
Due to Warriors and Guardians being so vital to the city's survival, they are simultaneously treated as royalty by society and kept under close watch by the government. Powered individuals are assigned large and lavish living spaces within a closed community while Commoners, those who lack powers, are situated in surrounding mediocre homes. A vast shield around the city is among the greatest protection against monsters of the outside world, second to the combined power of brave Warrior and Guardian citizens.
But everything couldn't possibly run as smoothly as they do now without the help of Commoners. Everyone has an important role to play in the world. Which one have you been born into?

- HOW TO PLAY -
- Post with your character and preferences.
- Choose their role and feel free to include a brief summary of ideal partner personalities, job duties, etc.
- Pick a prompt and tag around!
ROLES
- Warrior: Those whose supernatural abilities lie in offensive attacks, physical strength, debuffing the enemy, etc.
- Guardian: Those whose supernatural abilities lie in defensive attacks, support, healing, buffing allies, etc.
- Commoner: Those who are born without any supernatural abilities. Commoners are viewed as second-class citizens, as their duties revolve around aiding Warriors and Guardians however they can. i.e. Maids, cooks, weaponsmiths, entertainers, etc.
- Monster: Those who are the greatest threat to humankind. Because they also possesses supernatural abilities, it's been rumored that they share ancestral ties with Warriors and Guardians. Though Monsters are at war with humans, there are some who are indifferent to them altogether and choose a life of peace.
PROMPTS
- The Contract - Could this be your very first or possibly even your thirtieth? Whatever the case, you've trusted them enough to give them a glimpse into your soul so long as you're together. Will you take advantage of that vulnerability? Or use it to build a healthy relationship? Unfortunately, not all contracts are as perfect as they may seem on the surface.
- Training - Good teamwork is the difference between life and death so it's important to ensure you and your partner are focused and in sync, especially before a mission.
- Bonding - Physical intimacy between Warriors and Guardians is an experience unlike any other, but emotional intimacy is where it all begins. Spend some time together outside of combat, share in each other's interests, get to know their likes and dislikes. It might not seem important at first but in the long run it will make you both stronger.
- Mission Time - Is it a long and perilous journey outside the barrier to slay Monsters? A short and simple quest to gather special materials from a specific region? A reconnaissance mission to survey unexplored territory? Whatever you two were assigned, just remember what comes first: keeping each other alive.
- Aftercare - The aftermath of a mission can be incredibly taxing, both on the mind and body. Injuries may need to be tended to, emotional states may need to be realigned - especially if you or your partner came close to facing death. But hopefully your partner is there to provide the comfort you'll likely need in this time of vulnerability.
- Downtime - When you're busy training or working all the time, it's easy to forget just how lively the city can be. How do you choose to spend your free time in it? Partying the night away? Visiting friends and family? Or maybe you're the type who just likes to stay in for a quiet night.
- Different Classes - Whether they're a maid, tailor, or even family, Commoners make up the majority of the city's population. But even if society might see them as lesser doesn't mean they should be treated that way. Over the years, some may despise or be fearful of the supernaturally powered, but there are also some who've developed or maintained close relationships in spite of it all.
- Forbidden Love - It's illegal for Warriors and Guardians to develop romantic relations with Commoners, extremely taboo with those they aren't currently contracted to, and utterly unthinkable to even speak to Monsters. But love doesn't discriminate. If you have to sneak around to see your lover then so be it, but sooner or later your partner or the government is bound to find out, right?
- On the Run - For whatever reason, you and someone else have decided to start a new life far away from the city and its strict rules. It wasn't easy slipping away from under the government's watchful eye and it won't get any easier with monsters around every corner, but maybe you can find a way to make it work and live happily ever after. Just know that the government always finds a way to get what they want in the end.
- Wildcard - Mix and match or choose your own adventure!

Most of the time, we RPers hold certain conventions when we play. One of these is that no matter what the medium our characters are from, they are "real" people/aliens/gods/creatures and others will see them as such. But what if it wasn't like that? What if, for a moment, the 4th wall was pulled up and disbelief not suspended?
Or what if our characters were used to that, because they've lived in a world where humans and "toons" exist alongside each other their entire lives?
Well, let's see how it goes!
HOW TO PLAY
1. Comment with your character, putting any preferences somewhere in your comment. Also, you might want to include if your character is a "human" or a "toon." Hyper-realistic drawn or rendered characters can choose either.
2. Other people will respond, rolling the RNG to determine the scenario.
3. Play out the scene!
OPTIONS
1. First Time Meeting- You've heard about them, but you've never met a toon or a human before. How do you respond? Are you fascinated? Freaked out?
2. Coworkers- You know each other in some kind of professional capacity. Interpret that how you want.
3. Friendship- To you, they're not a toon/human. They're just your friend.
4. Hate- Something's happened in your past that's made you wary of toons/humans, but you've been forced somehow to confront the object of your distaste.
5. Romeo and Juliet- Love between humans and toons is not completely unheard of, but it's certainly looked down upon. Can you make your relationship work in a world that doesn't think your feelings are real, especially if your family and friends are against it?
6. Sex- It's not love. You're just having fun, and you want to know what it's like to be with the forbidden fruit. Plus, some of those cartoon women are super hot. Just sayin'
7. Lost Relative- Wait. Your long-lost sister/brother/uncle is a toon/human? How does that work? It's probably better not to ask.
8. Free Space- If you have your own idea, this is the option for you!

HOW WOULD THEY REACT?
Three little words. No, not those. Not "share your fries," either, it's not that serious.
"I want you." So much said in so little. Now, what happens next?
❤ You know how the record plays.
❤ NO BLANK TOP LEVELS. Your character just had someone tell them that they want them. How do they respond? Take charge, swoop in for a kiss? Put some moves on them? Cry? Offer them an egg in this trying time? If you tell them to get out of your house, you don't know them, that's valid too. Whatever works! Just give us a line of dialogue here or some action spam there. Play it straight. Play it goofy. Be sexy and be excellent.
❤ The person who replies to you is the one who fessed up. This can't possibly go wrong.
