The All-Purpose JamJar Meme

For that authentic Jamjar experience without the pesky commitment. Roll or pick from a setting and a prompt below! Drum up some assumed CR with strangers! Jamjar settings are officially the best when you want to do a cross-canon tag-out but just can't be assed to think of a way to fit your character in another one's canon.

I - SETTING

1. Horror: Your characters are taken from their own worlds and thrown into a terrifying situation! Things are creepy, resources are scarce, and ensuring your own survival is paramount.
2. Sex Game: For whatever contrived and nonsensical reason, your characters are forced into a world where they gotta bone. Aside from smutstuff, you have the opportunity to play out how very awkward it is to navigate these agreements and encounters before and after. Lasting bonds can form from something you didn't expect! But so can eternal regret.
3. Slice of Life: Characters are forced to live together in familial units. They have an opportunity here -- in spite of being stuck -- to relax and slow down and do some fun, ordinary things. Picnics, dates, school, etc.
4. Fantasy: Characters are forced into guilds and roles, given weapons and are made to utilize their powers in coordinated units to complete missions.
5. Scifi: Characters are thrust on to the frontier of spacial colonization! Characters on a spaceship! Characters being drafted into an Imperial Earth Army to fight/conquer foreign entities! Characters being in a world where they are assessed, identified, tracked and policed by artificial intelligence! And so on!
6. Reincarnation/ New Identity: Your character has been reborn at this game, or given a new identity. Work out their karma or help them come to terms with having to live a new life.
7. Asylum/Prison/Institutionalized Identity: Characters are locked up and put under heavy surveillance. Slowly they are institutionalized and disintegrated from ordinary social rules of engagement. They could be told that they've been identified as mentally dysfunctional, or they could be in prison! Are they pleading their innocence, or do they know they're guilty as fuck back in their world?
8. Assignment-Based/Mercenary/Survival: Characters have to put their skills to good use as drafted mercenaries. Help your captors assassinate, spy, sabotage, infiltrate, steal, and terrorize for points that will lead up to your freedom or the freedom of others.
9. Your Choice!: Do whatever!

II - SITUATION

1. First Impressions: You never forget your first impression of someone. Unless it was entirely forgettable.
2. Oh Hey Again: I kind of know you!!!! Hi!!! I hate this place but love familiarity hi!!!
3. Event: SOMETHING IS HAPPENING and your characters have either run into each other or sought each other out to stick together during it!
4. Living Quarters: Surprise, your characters are in the same house! Or room! Or building! Either way you have to share space and facilities with this person. Enjoy!
5. Mystery: Who Did It? Why Are We Here? Characters are disappearing, people are dying, whatever is happening it is FISHY!
6. Canon Update/Respawn/"But we know each other, I swear!": One character comes (back) to a game and does not remember previous CR. A relationship or friend or even hateship is forgotten. How will this be dealt with?
7. Begrudgingly Working Together: You are so fucking annoying but I guess we have to fight Monster of the Day Together/Get Unstuck-UnLost Together/Find Our Way Back/Help Each Other Out.
8. Is This a Date: Gee, you guys sure are doing a lot of things that people on dates do and you're having a lot of fun [sweats]...
9. Violence: Characters beat the shit out of each other or help each other out of a gory situation with terrible traumatic injuries or something!
10. One-Sided(?) Crush: How do you get their attention? Or, alternatively, how do you ignore that this person obviously is crushing on you and it's totally awkward
11. Protecting/Saving: Your character's chance to be a hero or a damsel!
12. Network Post: Mandatory bs.
13. Inbox: Hey, can I talk to you for a second? In private?
14. Your Choice!: Do whatever!

[omg elle woods. whaddaya think of girls doin' girl stuff but in outer space?]

[no sex games!]

[ no sex games, but any of the other settings are fine. ]

[Available in Marinette or Ladybug flavour! No sex or reincarnation!]

[Hello! How abouuut housemates in a superhero game? :D]

[Sounds super cute to me!]

[When Marinette gets home, she hasn't bothered to transform back. If she thought Paris was bad about villains, it's got nothing on this place! It feels like everyday there's a new villain or crisis but at least her roommate is nice. And, well, if there's people to save, Ladybug should be there, right?]

My god, what a long day... I'm home! "Chill Out". His name was Chill Out can you believe that?

[Though they haven't been here very long, Paprika's adjusted to this "other world" pretty easily. Enormous leaps from setting to setting are common in dreams, so even a change like this didn't faze her too much. And hey, couldn't ask for a sweeter roomie. Ladybugs are the best bugs, that goes almost without saying.

At the moment she's just watching TV, but she turns down the volume when Marinette comes in.]

Seriously? Wait, wait, let me guess: flame powers.

[ no sex games, assumed cr fine! ]

Any old thing is fine. Available as a

human where appropriate.

[no smut, please]

[ Ah, Generic Fantasy Game. It actually isn't too far off from home. Being forced into guilds and classes? Well, the classes part is usual, and if you just think of a guild as a glorified army...Dwyer isn't a huge fan of the new location, but it's not like the existence of other worlds was a Secret. They just have to eventually figure out how to get home. Where's a Dragon's Gate when you need it?

For now, he's...tolerating the change. He's still a healer (THANK THE LORD, fuck having to learn a new class, that's already annoying enough when Corrin orders such things) and Selkie is...whatever she is (something chaotic). He's in the same guild as the kitsune girl. Life isn't bad.

Except for the Events. The Events are pretty much just...well, really annoying. Currently it's some huge gamewide version of lasertag. Except with magic. Dwyer is predictably hiding out to avoid having to be too involved (this is 100% not in his job description, fuck it) and Selkie has predictably found him sprawled out lazily beneath the mess hall table. ]

...Look. I know what you're going to say. [ Something about playing this dumb event game. ] But there's literally no point to any of this...
