THE STORY of US MEME (a crossover pairing encouraged meme)

The Story of Us

a [crossover pairing encouraged] shipping meme

Crossover pairings are fun. Arguably, they can be one of the best parts of panfandom RP. After all, there's nothing quite like that spark when two characters just "click," especially when it was completely unplanned. AWESOME.

Unfortunately, in a lot of shipping memes here and elsewhere, the environment isn't really conducive to spontaneity. People usually just stick to castmates or close friends, and don't tag out due to lack of knowledge of canons or just plain intimidation. That's not fun for those of us who want to throw caution out the windows and just try crazy things, like throwing a Thor at a Sailor Moon (which, really, isn't that crazy of an idea if you look at the mythos for both series...).

This meme's for you, risk takers, crack shippers, or people who just want something new. All there is to do is fill out a tiny blurb so that people who don't know your canon will have some idea about your character. Then, go. Play. Don't let anything stop you. Don't know where to go with an idea? Wing it! The prompts here are not the super specific variety that most ship memes have, where you almost have to have canon knowledge. Want to reply to a character but have no idea where to begin? Make things up! The more creative, the better.

The Steps
- Make a comment with your character, canon, preferences, etc in the subject. In the body of the comment, fill out this super easy form. Just the basics.

Name: Jane Doe
Canon: The Best Canon Ever
About: Jane is a shy girl with magic powers.
[OPTIONAL]
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Strong, outgoing types.

<b>Name:</b> <b>Canon:</b> <b>About:</b> [OPTIONAL] <b>What kind of character they'd be attracted to:</b>
- Comment to other characters! Use the RNG, first rolling for category (1-3) and then for prompt.
- This meme was created for crossovers, and that's heavily encouraged, but no one is going to hunt you down if you play with a castmate. Just try to remember the purpose of the meme, okay?
- HAVE FUN

Two Ways to Play
#1 (the buildup)
- Start with the first category, which is how the characters meet. Play that as you see fit. THEN, do a timeskip! If you don't know what that means, it's when you handwave that time has past. Assume the characters have known each other for a while. Move on to a prompt in the next category. Rinse, repeat. You can build a relationship!

#2 (the regular)
- Just play it as usual. Roll for category, then for prompt.

The Categories
1. The beginning
2. The relationship
3. Years later

I. How We Met & the Sparks Flew Instantly (The Beginning)
1. First meeting (no matter how mundane or impossible!)
2. First date
3. Blind date
4. Arranged courtship/marriage
5. Hate at first sight
6. One night stand

II. People Would Say "They're the Lucky Ones" (The Relationship)
1. Confession (TELL ME HOW YOU REALLY FEEL)
2. Taking care of you
3. Meeting the family/showing you home
4. First time
5. FIGHT
6. Marriage proposal

III. One Day We'd Tell the Story of Us (Years Later)
1. Moving in together
2. BABIES or kids
3. Together again after a long seperation
4. Ending the relationship
5. Old (married) couple, aka Still in Love After All these Years
6. At the end of life

Comments

Botan | Yu Yu Hakusho | Open to All

[ferries]

Name: Botan
Canon: Yu Yu Hakusho
About: Botan is one of those ambiguous "older than she looks"/vaguely non-human characters. In her canon, she serves as one of the many grim reapers. However, just because her job is dark doesn't mean she is. Her personality is extremely chipper and upbeat (though it can veer from bubbly girl to deadpan snarker to outright troll). One major flaw of hers, though, is her tendency to be a motormouth and talk before she thinks. That's gotten her into more than one bit of trouble. But she makes up for it with loyalty to her friends and her employer, the prince of the Spirit World.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: -Smart, quirky individuals
- Ancients/gods/etc
- GRUMPY GUSSES

Molly Hooper // BBC Sherlock / OTA Males

[wealldosillythings]

[Placeholder b/c tagging from phone]

sif » thor (mcu) » ota

[shornhaired]

Name: sif
Canon: mcu for now. i'm rusty on comic!sif.
About: badass warrior woman with a crush on thor who fought her way to the top, can be a bit of a bitch, has the best friends in Asguard etc etc. from that canon everyone plays from nowadays.

this meme sounds so fun!

Humanized AU!Rainbow Dash | My Little Pony | OTA

[rainboomaviator]

Name: Rainbow Dash.

Canon: MLP: FiM

About: Rainbow is feisty, obnoxious, and loud, but has a loyalty complex and will be faithful to all those she holds dear. She can't stand people who are arrogant, and will often either challenge them to a fight or some form of competition to display her superiority.

What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Whether guys or girls, she enjoys someone that can give her a challenge and something to fight for. Things never need to be sugarcoated and shouldn't be, and since she's an active person, roughhousing is something she adores. She also has a thing for people who she can get mad at for acting like they're 'the shit,' so that aggressive makeouts follow it up.

Also one secret about her: doing something cutesy (giving flowers/gifts, putting flowers in her hair, etc.) will make her stubborn and seem cross on the outside, as well as red, but it'll be easy to tell that she appreciates it with all her heart.

[thatscalledsokkastyle]

[Ah, a day at the market. Sokka quite enjoys shopping... The interesting items for sale, haggling for a good deal, and...

Having someone run by you, bump you, and make you drop all your sea prunes. Wait, no. That is not something he enjoys.]

Hey! Don't you know to watch where you're going?

Nepeta Leijon | Aged Up | Homestuck | F/M, OTA for castmates

[arsenicpounce]

Name: Nepeta Leijon
Canon: Homestuck
About: Nepeta is a sweet troll that adores her 'furriends' with everything she has, especially her moirail. She has a fascination with romance/shipping and even went so far as to make a wall of all her friends, pairing them up to how she found it most ideal. Looking after people, hunting, roleplaying, and drawing are really all she needs to be happy.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Nepeta is strong-willed and agile in the forests of Alternia while she hunts, but having a protector and someone who is affectionate to her is a big deal. She loves strong personalities and those who push to be brave. She's cuddly and affectionate every minute of every day, so to put up with that and reciprocate would be a big deal.

Teijirou Takegami | Mr. Brain

[onemoredeath]

Name: not!Gackt Teijirou Takegami
Canon: Mr. Brain
About: A neurologist joins the IPS and helps detectives solve baffling crimes. Takegami is a serial killer in the second episode with a forceful personality that somehow manages to kill from the grave.

Charlie McGee || FIrestarter || F seeking M

[charring]

Name: Charlie McGee
Canon: Stephen King's Firestarter.
About: So this happened.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Snarky, for starters. They also must understand that Charlie is capable. They're not allowed to pity her for her story or expect her to actually tell it right off. Please call her on her BS if she starts hiding stuff or trying to sidestep issues. She's not very good at letting people in so persistence is key. Also must not be freaked out by abilities. Because hers is huge. I love AUs. I love crossovers. I love relationships that shouldn't work but do.

Ariel | The Little Mermaid | Open to All

[seacups]

Name: Ariel
Canon: The Little Mermaid
About: Ariel, the youngest of seven daughters of the sea king, is a true free spirit. Always ready for an adventure, even if it's not the best idea, she shows curiosity for everything around her. Of special interest is the world of humans on the shore above her aquatic home. Her entire life's dream has been to walk among them, and she'll stop at nothing to spend one day in the sun.

She's kind but rebellious, brave but short-sighted, sweet but a bit self-centered. There's much more to this mermaid than a pretty singing voice.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: - HUMANS
- Really, anyone who can show her the world
- Other fish out of water

Chi-Chi | Dragon Ball | Open to All

[princessbride]

Name: Chi-Chi
Canon: Dragon Ball
About: One would expect that, as the only child and daughter of a fierce "giant" king of a mountain, Chi-Chi would be a frightening person. And, in some ways, she is. Yet she's polite, friendly, and, most noticeably, domestic minded. To her, nothing is more important than family. It's her goal to become a wife and mother, keeping a warm home. That means she runs a tight ship.

The frightening aspect of her personality comes out when you piss her off, though. She's a trained martial artist with a temper. That's all there is to say about that.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: - People who are equally family oriented
- Good providers
- On the other hand, rolling stones. She has a soft spot.
- Fighters of all stripes

Harvey Specter | Suits | OTA

[toughbutfair]

Name: Harvey Specter
Canon: Suits
About: Harvey is the best legal closer in New York City and works for the firm Pearson-Hardman. He's stubborn, he's smart, he's a bit of a dick when it comes to uh, actually expressing his true emotions but he's been shown to truly care about those around him and will protect his own. He might seem like he'll bite, but he really won't. (Unless you ask him, too. Then he'll be more than happy to oblige.)

1.1

[smilederek]

[Can a phone call count as a first meeting? Hopefully yes, since... well, since Derek is currently calling from prison.]

Mr. Specter? I've been referred to you because I'm looking for legal representation. Do you take criminal defense cases?

[Technically he was looking for extremely good legal representation, but Derek's not big on actually... telling people that they might be valuable.]

Usagi Tsukino | Sailor Moon | Open to All

[tiare]

Name: Usagi Tsukino
Canon: Sailor Moon
About: Ditzy but friendly Usagi is not the type one would expect to be a princess, much less a super hero. She's irresponsible, a slacker, and a crybaby. Clearly, not the makings of anything heroic in the least. Still, she's also loving, giving, and brave in the matters of her friends. This gives her the natural proclivity to be Sailor Moon, champion of love and justice!
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Really, anyone, but canon says:
- Stoic types
- Hot shot "bad boys"
- Lone wolves

Rapunzel | Tangled | Open to All

[daydreaming]

Name: Rapunzel
Canon: Tangled
About: Being raised in a tower for your entire life isn't easy. Luckily, Rapunzel's natural resourcefulness and creativity might help her get along; her kindness may just win her partners' hearts. That is, as long as they don't take advantage of her naivety.

Though she can be a bit shy and awkward at first, but she can quickly show her outgoing, slightly sarcastic side.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Open to anything, but especially charming rogues and people with rough exteriors but hearts of gold.

So late but charming rogue and heart of gold sounds like this guy here :) First date?

[thegoblinprince]

You're looking good tonight, Mister Osborn!

[Harry winked at his reflection in the shop window and fumbled with his tie for what was at least the fifth time, not that he was counting. Not that he was nervous. Harry Osborn didn't get nervous because of a silly little date. Well, maybe he was the tiniest bit excited, but not nervous. Certainly not nervous.

A passing couple stared at him and tucked their heads together to titter. Flushing, Harry made a beeline for the restaurant next door.

Only a clumsy oaf, or Peter Parker, would be late to a first date.]

Rogue | X-Men: Evolution | Open to All

[empowerment]

Name: Rogue
Canon: X-Men: Evolution
About: Most people take the ability to touch others for granted; Rogue does not. Born with a mutation that, when manifested, made skin-to -skin contact impossible, she has become withdrawn and cynical. If you can't be near people, make it seem like you don't want to be, right? However, this shell has gradually been broken by her fellow X-Men members, and she's proved to be a valuable friend once her walls are taken down.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Anyone who can deal with her tendency to protect herself from others by being icy.

After her mother's death and her father's disappearance Illya was raised by her grandfather to hate her father and serve as a master during the next Grail War.

Varying between mature and childish depending on the situation, Illya is a rather odd girl with great magical power.

Big brother/sister types. [and maids based on her magical girl AU.]

Allen Walker | D. Gray Man

[whiteblackknight]

Einzbern castle, out in the forest...a dark figure walks steadily towards the large building. His hood is up, and his hair obscures what part of his face his hood does not cover.]

........

[He knocks, with his left hand, as hard as he can. The impacts are hearty but don't hurt his fist in the least]

[He waits for someone to answer, clutching a red spot on his uniform...]

Aramat Drawdes|Alabaster|OTA

[scalpedsociety]

Name: Aramat Drawdes
Canon: Alabaster
About: A kinda kooky but well mannered 20th century Southern lady that likes to think of herself as straight out of The Victorian Era.

Strong-willed, intelligent. Those who have an idea of what it's like to be different people.

[whutobjection]

Name: Phoenix Wright

-Sweet, adorable girls. (Some prefs die extremely hard.)
-For some reason in this typists head, once he gets over the relative shock, he wouldn't mind dating a Action Girl.

[nuns4money]

Name: Eda
Canon: Black Lagoon
About: A hard drinking, smack-talking, chain-smoking, slightly temperamental ('slightly' compared to Revy), mega-flirty, potty mouthed nun in name only. Underneath that is person scarred by her experiences that really just wants love. (Don't ask her to admit that though, or you'll become a pasta strainer.)
What kind of character they'd be attracted to:

I. Washington, DC

[inhenrywetrust]

It was a bar - Henry really didn't pay much attention to the name or the place. He could get a drink, look for new recruits, and ... well. Admire the view.

[He had many problems with modern culture - what was the obsession with YouTube, for example? - but one thing he approved up absolutely was women's fashion. Coming from an age where, unless you were with the sort of woman you would have to pay to spend time with, the clothing was rather constrictive -- well, the modern age was a delight.

Especially women in short skirts and high heels. You'd have to be a priest not to appreciate that. He sipped his whiskey, lounging across the bar, dark eyes keen even if his posture stated he was just here relaxing after a long day of work.

Henry Sturges || Abraham Lincoln; Vampire Hunter || F

[inhenrywetrust]

Canon: Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse
About: Yog-Soggoth, or "Norrington", "Doctor" or "Doc" as he prefers being called, is an Elder God of the Lovecraftian Eldritch Abomination variety, but probably isn't exactly what you'd expect from one. Most of the time he takes the form of an elderly, but handsome, sophisticated human British gentleman, and has a personality fitting this. Though he often comes across as irritable, grouchy, pushy, or snarky, he's very eloquent (if a bit overly dramatic at times), affable, suave, personable, helpful, and can be quite charming. He's highly lawful, and always extremely concerned for and protective of those important to him, especially his family.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: A polite, intelligent, well-spoken lady, not nessecarily experienced but open-minded and willing to learn. Someone who isn't brash or challenging, that listens to him, is patient, devoted, and prefers stability and peace to danger and chaos. She should also like children, and of course, not mind that she's romancing Cthulhu and yes, this means tentacles~

I 2

[attentionhoard]

[Garble just waited outside the door, awkwardly shifting his weight. He never actually went on a date before, so this was all a little weird. But he's gotta keep it cool. Cause he IS cool. Just not so great with girls...]
