The Jamjar Assumed CR Meme

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!

[no smut prompts please until I get more of a hang of his voice]

ooc: age appropriate scenarios only please!

ooc: No horror, sex, asylum or violence, but otherwise I don't mind letting rng decide!

You're back!

[no, actually, it's Chidori who's back again in this place, but she's momentarily too excited to notice the difference]

[grins and runs up to Luna]

Hey, you!

[Luna smiles and puts her hands on her knees to lean down and see Chidori better.]

You remember me!

[That is always a relief!]

Yes!

Do you remember me, too?

~~[what. but yeah, that's Chidori for you.]~~

[Not so much with #6 but everything else is open to discussion.]

[With settings, 4, 5 and 8 are all okay. 2 only if we're just doing "navigating around/dealing with this" sort of thing with no smut.]

[Anything goes.]

[Anything goes, well except sex games.]

OTA but smut, this is kiddo Naruto

((Hi, can I offer you a monster doll girl who can see emotions as colours? :D (So she is an empath, but it's not godmod-ish, she just "sees" what the other person is feeling.) I'm thinking something like Bebedora just spawned as is meeting her new "brother" at "home"..?))

[ Oh my gosh, yes please! I'm very canonblind but 100% on board. She can show up and find him in their kitchen eating ramen or something haha. Would you like to start or shall I? ]

((Yay! Not to worry. I would be genuinely surprised if you weren't canonblind lol. Here's a reference pic. She's from a PS2 game called Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits and the fandom consists of like three people, maybe. *sobs* I'll get us going here. <3 ))

Bebedora was supposed to be free now. No strings, no master, no voices. But something thought it could take command of her life now that it was hers. Something thought it could pick her up and move her around as it pleased. But she was no one's toy, not anymore, and anyone who thought so was her enemy.

She must destroy them, once she found them.

But in the meantime, she had to play the game she'd been tossed into. Oblivious to stares on the street, Bebedora approached the building that she was supposed to live in - a house, she recalled - and opened the door. Her shoes tapped softly against the floor as she made her way inside, the door hanging open behind her. Slow, cautious steps heralded her arrival. There might be an enemy waiting for her in the house.

She must destroy her enemies.

[Awesome! Lemme know if this works or if you need more info from me for her empath powers. c:]

The only person in the house was a small blond kid perched on a stool at the kitchen counter, slurping noodles out of a cup. The sound of unfamiliar footsteps caught his attention quickly, causing him to frown and get up, ramen in one hand and chopsticks in the other.

A moment later, his head poked around a doorway, and he saw the girl.

"Haa?"

Great, he thought, stepping completely into the room and giving her an obvious once-over. The hat. The rabbit. The... mouth dress? Another weirdo from another weirdo world.

"You're a kid," was all he said at first, as if he wasn't a kid himself. "You get told you live here now, too?"

There was nothing particularly welcoming about his tone, but nothing particularly hostile either. After being stuck here a whole month, in this stupid world where he was expected to go to school and live in this house with other people like he belonged or something, it wasn't so hard to accept the sudden appearance of someone new. Even someone so unusual.

Edited 2017-02-17 07:11 (UTC)

((S'all good! :Db Let me know if I need to adjust what emotions Bebedora sees.))

Bebedora stopped when the blond boy appeared. He received a once-over too, though not nearly as obviously, what with that huge hat covering her eyes(?).

That and the fact that she was looking at his soul.

"'A kid'? Who's that? I'm Bebedora." Her head tipped to the side. "Yes. Just when I cut all my old strings, someone tried to tie new ones to me. They are my enemy now."

She paused. "Frustration in light orange...You don't like it either."

Oh wow. She was even weirder than he expected.

"Be-be-do-ra?" he repeated, with a small amount of skepticism. That could be a name, he supposed. The stuff about strings was confusing, hard to follow, but the next part--

"Tch, 'course I don't like it!" He stuck out his chopsticks in her direction, not threateningly, but for emphasis. "Far as I can tell, we're trapped here. And they put us all in this house and want us to act like we're a family or something."

He loved and hated it at the same time. He'd never had one mom, and now he was supposed to pretend like he had two? None of them had ever even met before getting planted here. It was a messed up joke.

"Anyway..." The chopsticks lowered and some of the frustration left his face, leaving him a little more resigned. On the inside, he shoveled some more dirt over the loneliness he kept buried.

"The old ladies'll be back later. I can show you around if you want."

She took a few steps closer to Naruto, ready to follow him. However...

"The turquoise of confusion. The orange-brown of loneliness. It shows through the leaden weight of denial. There's something here you must like, at least a little. "

"I would like to see what else is in this house," she continued, as if she hadn't just laid bare someone's feelings. "I don't know what 'family' is - is it like friends? Who are the 'old ladies'? If they're enemies, I'll destroy them."

Naruto tensed, almost dropping his chopsticks. Defensiveness, anger, suspicion--whatever colors those were, they all spiked at once, and in that moment his guard came up, too. He set his rapidly cooling cup of noodles on the nearby end table to free his hands, keeping his eyes trained on her.

This kid--Bebedora--definitely didn't seem normal. Was she using some weird jutsu on him? She could read him way too well. Especially for a kid who shouldn't have been able to see at all.

"They're not enemies," he told her, voice dropping just a little bit into something bordering on a growl. "Don't mess with them, got it?"

He'd not had a reason to fight anybody in this world, not for real, at least, and he wasn't looking for one now, but if he had to he wouldn't hesitate. His response hung in the air as proof that even if he couldn't bring himself to think of anyone here as "family", he'd formed some sort of bond with them in the last month.

[ There's been time to settle into his new surroundings but not absent the ever-present desire to get out. It's no fault of his assigned "family" that keeps him distant from them, but a distracted mind and a sensitive interpretation of just what that word means. Maybe he should be focusing on gaining new perspective, instead. Maybe this is just one more test and the first concrete step he's being forced to take towards understanding his own world by first understanding one outside of it.

But does that really have to involve getting stuck behind an old woman cooing about his lovely cheekbones and how he needs to stop hiding them behind that "mop of hair" just so he can get a carton of milk for the household? Well, Sasuke's got plenty of time to muse about that on the trip home, at least, walking speed leisurely despite the cool temperatures. It's his meditative quiet time, honestly, already thinking about where he'll vanish off to next when he catches sight of a blur of orange disappearing behind one of the houses he's passing.

And he immediately stops.

Naturally Sasuke's heard about the arrival of others that are... out of sync with those from their home worlds, whether from alternate dimensions or distorted timelines, but he hadn't allowed himself to think it might happen to him. Being unsure of how he might handle confirming his suspicions doesn't stop him from quietly altering his path and trailing that smaller figure. ]

[ Naruto hasn't had time to settle. In fact, he's been here just over a day and is distinctly unsettled, with questions rattling around in his hard little head like rocks. Did he die when the pervert hermit pushed him off that stupid cliff? What the hell kinda afterlife is this? Or is he trapped in some jutsu?

Weird jutsu. Weird house. Weird-- No. (His own interpretation of the word "family" is pretty sensitive, too.)

It's all confusing, and being confused is bullshit and just pisses him off more and more every minute. He ditches the house, ditches the-- people, and now he's muttering and stomping his way through the streets, like he's gonna find a clue out here somewhere.

He's very thirteen right now, hands shoved in his pockets, feet rising and falling in exaggerated, angry steps that are not at all befitting an academy graduate. No, the only sign of his skills shows itself a few blocks later when he stops, finally too annoyed to keep quiet. ]

Hey! Big Chakra! [ That's a nickname. ] I know you're back there!

[ Any doubts that may have existed in his mind as to Naruto's true identity are shattered long before he speaks, and his own slow measured gait can be instead credited to him processing it. Every over-exaggerated bit of body language -- like he's trying to be as loud and noticed even in that -- is achingly familiar in a way that throws him off-kilter. Not enough to fracture that stoic exterior, but--

The yell almost is.

His step falters for the barest of moments, stopping short before continuing forward in a deliberate shortening of distance. ]

I'd expect you to be at least that sharp. [ "Even you" going unsaid; he hasn't forgotten that particular berserk button issue. ]

What are you doing?

[ Naruto scowls--something about that voice pisses him off--and spins around on his heel to see who the mystery big chakra is, just about ready for a fight. ]

What's that s'posed to mean? Of course I'm-- ha?

[ He stops short, the hostility leeching out of his stance, blinks, and then-- ]

[ --bursts into laughter, loud and riotous. Bahahahahaha. Forget what he said about big chakra. He'd know this guy anywhere. ]

Sasuke, the hell kinda henge is that? [ He points, still laughing, clutching his stomach with the other arm. ] You look like an old man!

[ okay listen you little fucker ]

[ No... How could he have expected a different reaction? Even the ridiculous accusation coupled with that obnoxious laugh of his twists his gut and makes him feel out of place, an anachronism in the life of someone still relatively untouched by his destiny... and yet still optimistic in the face of regular bias.

Naruto doesn't know that jeers and sidelong looks will turn into praise and acceptance in the future. No... he's still just a tenacious, ill-informed loser. How did Sasuke not find him earlier? ]

As much as you look undersized. My appearance isn't any more of an illusion than yours is. [ . . . ]

It's not a henge. [ There, worded in a simpler fashion when he remembers exactly who he's talking to. Sasuke's still a little unsteady over it. ]

Time's as disregarded as space when it comes to the people that are brought here. I'd heard that this could happen, but... I hadn't seen it for myself until now. [ No, never mind, he forgot again. ]

[ ......

................

.............................. ]

So... it's not a henge?

[ Shut up. Time, space, space, time, undersized?????? He doesn't get it. ]

H-hang on, are you saying you're an old man for real?!

[ Maybe he gets it a little. But it sounds ridiculous. ]

In this case, "old" is relative. I'm seventeen. [ What an insane difference four years makes. ]

I said it wasn't a henge. It's not a henge.

They chose you? (eyebrow raising...) You're a mercenary?

(to think he has to put up with some squirt as his partner. this is the worst day ever and, while he says every day that it's the worst day ever, suigetsu means it this time. they really want him to protect this guy and have to do all of the work? when they brought in so many more people who'd have made this into a more capable unit?

suigetsu folds his arms and stares down at this. thing. how do you talk to children?)

Let's be honest, you're probably gonna die.

(nailed it.)

[ Oh wow, Suigetsu, no. That is not how you do it.

Naruto bristles and swells like an angry cat. ]

Shut up, who the hell asked you anyway?!

[ He's so not going to die, even though his partner is this super-unreliable-seeming weirdo and there are other people--not that he would ever admit as much to those people--Naruto would far prefer to have his back. None of those people are stuck in this world like he is, as far as he knows.

Just ignore the antsy double-pat he gives to the pouch on his butt, checking his supplies; he's definitely not nervous about going off into an unfamiliar jungle to fight people who can summon weird monsters he's never seen before!! Shut up!! ]

Whatever, I'm going!

[ And with that he takes off, running up the nearest tree. He has very little idea where he's going, but how is that new? ]

open to pretty much anything, just easy on the smut because I tag a lot from work lol

[Horror is the most likely setting, would rather avoid smut.]

Edited 2017-02-17 06:00 (UTC)

[He grins over at Pidge, fully clad in iron armor. He takes his helmet off and lets it drop to the ground beside them so he can pull out the wicked huge sword in the strap at his back.]

Dude. Dude. Pidge, they gave me a SWORD. [He swings the broadsword around in the air.] Ha, look at me! I look totally awesome! C'mon, show me what you got.
