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

<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

Noah Puckerman [glee]

[but_idontlie]

Name: Noah Puckerman
Canon: Glee (to current/seasons one through three)
About: Noah [more commonly known as "Puck"] is a Jewish BAMF. He's alternately a little dumb [spent five years in high school and nearly spent a sixth year there] and extraordinarily "deep". (That read "deep" and not "derp".) He loves to play guitar and sing, preferring Jewish musicians or classic rock, and was a leader on his high school football team. Noah is more or less a manwhore [hooked up with cougars through his pool-cleaning business] but will settle down for that special lady. He's got a soft side - and loves his daughter, Beth, who was adopted at birth by a friend's biological mother [Shelby Corcoran]. He may-or-may-not have had a vasectomy after Beth's birth...
[OPTIONAL]
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Exclusively women. For fun - older women. For ♥love♥ - Somebody a little special, a little unique. Someone who will not only take his shit, but dish it back to him playfully. Somebody who believes in him, even when he doesn't.

britta perry | community

[ftws]

Name: Britta Perry
Canon: Community
About: Buzzkill, college-girl bête noire, licensed psych student, weirdo, vegetarian.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: All the fuck-ups; every emotionally-damaged man out there she will try to fix you and fail miserably.

adam jensen | deus ex | ota

[neveraskedforthis]

Name: Adam Jensen
Canon: Deus Ex
About: There's a profile post in his journal with all relevant info :)
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Confident, smart women--Adam will be supportive and very affectionate towards this kind of woman, being the more submissive partner. Men are also an option, but in this case Adam would only care about (really rough and dirty) sex and not about romance/feelings.

... 3, 6 oops sorry I've been doing this wrong

[at_stake]

[Here is an elderly Buffy coming home from a night of slayage. He might hear her groaning in the doorway from afar.]

Gotta say, my reflexes aren't what they used to be...

Honey, you home?

[neveraskedforthis]

[ Guess having artificial legs and arms does have its advantages after all--they don't age, neither does his reinforced spine, so Adam's own age doesn't show anywhere really but in his face.

He's in the living room, reading. It's his day off. ]

Yeah--hey, you're back early.

II: the relationship... just... from the start i guess??

[doubleoohbaby]

When James breaks into Adam's home, it's with mostly good intent.

Even for his usual lack of subtlety, Bond is at least capable of breaking and entering with little fuss and manages it with his usual style. Shame no one's watching him, really, because he probably looks pretty swank doing it. He'll just have to assume that invisible camera crew that's been following him around for years, documenting his life, is still there.

He doesn't look like your usual burglar. In fact, when he carefully shuts the door behind him with a soft click, James even takes the time to carefully straighten his silk tie. It's not unlike him to dress nicely on a day to day, but for this evening he seems to have put that little bit of extra effort in, proven by the three-piece grey suit that looks oh-so perfectly tailored. Even the imported champagne he's managed to get his hands on looks like it cost a few months wages.

There's nothing about his manner that suggests he's sneaking in though, onces he's stepped past the threshold of the door, he merely makes his way over to the kitchen area and noisily rifles through the cupboards until he can find some glasses of any description. Yup, that champagne is for two, James just thinks door knocking is for losers.

HUE HUE

[neveraskedforthis]

James is probably pretty lucky that Adam's currently in the shower and not really aware of what's going on in the other part of the apartment, although not for long. He doesn't make it a habit to pay attention to his HUD when he's not on a mission, but it's pretty hard to ignore the single green dot in the bottom left part of his vision once he's turned off the water and wraps a towel around his waist.

So, apparently, he has a visitor. He can think of one person who has his address, but even that guy wouldn't be rude enough to just let himself in--probably. What is it with people bothering him in the comfort of his own home, recently? Or as much as you could call this home... doesn't really matter, it's his private space, for fuck's sake.

Now let's see--

Being able to see through walls can be really damn convenient, sometimes. His visitor is currently rifling through his kitchen; oh, so it's a common thief? Though the silhoutte does look very familiar...

What the fuck.

Adam considers several approaches to solving this problem, most of them starting with 'face' and ending with 'punch'. Now, he would make full use of all his augmentations--cloack, silent footsteps, wall punch take down--but given that he was not expecting to go out today, he hasn't properly eaten yet. A quick glance at his energy reserves confirms that he wouldn't be able to pull off anything that impressive, which means he'd have to settle for the traditional approach.

So, not even ten seconds later, he's in the kitchen with James, still only clad in a towel and giving him a hard shove; volume of his own voice several levels louder than what you'd be used to from him--he's angry, and it shows in his tone and expression. Especially the expression. After showering, he's actually forgotten to activate his shades again, so while the world is a little less gold for him, his oddly colored gaze would really start to shine.

But that really isn't his main concern right now.

"How did you get in here?! Get the fuck out of my apartment, James, or I'll make personally sure there won't be any more damn movies about you!"

Alice | Transformers (movie)

[fleshydisguise]

Name: Alice
Canon: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
About: Millenia-old evil spy robot from space masquerading as attractive blonde human businesswoman.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Power. Power power leadership skills and power. Alice loves her some powerful people. It's a Decepticon thing. Nontraditional or modified body shapes are also appreciated, if it's a human.

1, 2.

[at_stake]

[So they're maybe sitting somewhere eatery-like and having themselves some eats, as you do on a date.

Fuck, this is awkward. First date with a woman. How the hell with that happen?

Plays with lapel.]

So, uhm...

[Blurts!]

Why are we here?

[fleshydisguise]

[Well, she's eating. Alice is nursing a glass of water. Food can be consumed, it's just...annoying and pointless.]

What, you don't have a sense of adventure? [She's already eying the young woman up. So small with such an utterly boring body, but such a creatively destructive resume. Alice wants to see if this 'Buffy' will be worth her time.] Come on, tell me about yourself. Dish.

Tyrell Badd | Ace Attorney

[tasteoftruth]

Name: Tyrell Badd
Canon: Ace Attorney Investigations
About: Badd is a gruff, grizzled detective in his sixties. He maintains a cynical worldview while still striving to achieve justice any way he can, both inside and outside the law. He's seen a lot of action and carries some intense scar tissue over his heart as well as his skin.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Exclusively men, preferably on the mature side but he's of an age where he feels he should accept anything he can get.

I-1? (then timeskip as needed?) PM me if this doesn't work, okay? <3

[perversehealer]

Having a hospital under investigation for mysterious deaths wasn't Matthias' idea of a good day. Not at all. The tension among his colleagues was palpable, to the point that, if he smoked, Matthias would be tempted to take such a break.

Even though he'd already given his statement to the investigators, it bothered him tremendously that anyone would do such horrific acts in a place dedicated to healing others.

Absently rubbing a small, clear quartz-like jewel between his fingers, he remained sitting in a barely-cushioned chair as he watched some of the officers move about. He figured he might as well stick around in the hallway if more than one guy wanted to ask for his statement. He was supposed to be on break, anyway.

Looking back up to watch the people work, his gaze lingered on a rather rough-looking man, and he swallowed a little thickly. He hadn't noticed him before, but he sure was attractive! Did he just arrive, or was he just too distracted by the incident...?

Hahaha oh geeze i didn't even see this before i posted

[tasteoftruth]

It's a blueberry lollipop kind of day, Badd can already tell. He'd just come from asking questions at the hospital--he hated hospitals. He'd been shot too many times to not feel a sense of revulsion at the sterile smell and blindingly white walls. By contrast the police station is warm and welcoming, even if the work he'll have to do here is just as frustrating.

He's over there, the twitchy one.

Badd hooked his thumb in his pocket and wandered over to loom over him. "Matthias?" he asked, in a voice that said he didn't much care either way.

II - 1 Is this okay? Let me know if there's a problem.

[logic_and_magic]

[Well it's raining out, great way to ask someone to come out and meet him in private. Crown's sitting on a railing just staying quiet as he awaits the other person to come. Had it been a stupid idea? Yeah, it had been. But, he is due for stupid ideas.

He's awaiting for Tyrell to come and having second thoughts on if he should just up get going.]

It's good, but where exactly are they?

[tasteoftruth]

[Badd's fine with rain, it makes look more noir. He'll show.]

Asano Rin | Blade of the Immortal | OTA

[revengeisalie]

Name: Asano Rin
Canon: Blade of the Immortal
About: Teenage all-time failavenger, most-time planner, and sometimes moefacer. SUPER DETERMINED, needs to find out ALL THE THINGS and yes. Enthusiastic and capslocky and a bit overdramatic sometimes. Girl of a thousand (reaction)faces. Likes shoving people around to do her bidding, either literally or figuratively. Good at figuring people out and not afraid to make use of that knowledge. Firm but flexible sense of morality. Fiercely loyal and protective. Sweet tooth, flashy fighting techniques that don't work, MY PARENTS ARE DEEEEAD etc. pp.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Who she can connect with, mostly! She does identify as heterosexual, but I don't principally exclude a possible same-sex attraction. People she can admire and feel safe with.

[allofme]

I don't even have anyone to throw at Rin who'd be vaguely appropriate but I love you for playing her. ;_;

Buffy Summers | BtVS | OTA

[at_stake]

Name: Buffy Summers
Canon: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
About: What it says on the tin, y0. Vampires, Slayer of, the. Likes grouching about her job because, well, frankly it sucks, but that doesn't mean she won't do it or would even have a hard time stopping if the option arose. Originally peppy and outgoing, but has developed a tendency toward depression and londerdom. She still has a sense of humor though, which has mainly gotten a bit blacker and more biting. What's stayed are the puns and the sarcasm and the beating into submission of the English language. Kind of socially awkward, but principally nice! As long as she likes you or has a reason not to get on your bad side. If neither of those apply, she will kick your ass. No discussions.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: People who can keep up with her and who have her back. Strong, energetic and durable. A hint of the dangerous is not unwelcome, but causes conflict. Heterosexual, but ladies are not entirely excluded. She will deny any sort of gayness, though. Good luck getting through that shell. :(b

sigyn ∫ myth (f/m)

[burdenof]

Name: Sigyn
Canon: Mythology, MCU by association
About: Goddess of victory and fidelity, sweet and loyal almost to a fault, part Ophelia, part Lady Macbeth.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: The clever and troubled, but she has a soft spot for the kindhearted.

Caroline Forbes | The Vampire Diaries | Het Only please

[msmysticfalls]

Name: Caroline Forbes
Canon: The Vampire Diaries
About: Caroline is a vampire. She was 17 years old when she was turned and which she subsequently hated because it was a filler year. 18 years old now and Caroline is a Senior at High School, looking forward to getting out of Mystic Falls and seeing the world. Caroline is basically a pretty decent person. She keeps her bloodlust down by drinking human blood strictly from the bag (not the vein). She has insecurities in spades, does Caroline, but she's growing into someone that she hopes her parents can be proud of. She's fiercely loyal to her friends and those she loves but boy does her inner-bitch come out to play if someone tries to harm them.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Caroline loves people and loves to flirt. In a guy she looks for arms (what, it's an option!) No. Really. Caroline is looking for someone for whom she is not a second choice or a back-up plan. And no, Klaus, that does not mean you. She's attracted to guys who know what they want and go get it...but she's also attracted to the dorkishly sweet boy-next-door types too even if they did happen to have been dating her best friend in all their almost-epic loveness beforehand.

Matthias Reith | original character | OTA

[perversehealer]

Name: Matthias Reith
Canon: Ahaha. As an OC, he's always cross-canon! LOL

About: Matthias is the gender/worldswap of another oc of mine, Matilda, from a post-apocalyptic world. He is 21 years old. He is a healer and master (to supernatural levels) herbalist, able to draw out the hidden properties of any plant, be it a blade of grass, a pinecone, whatever. His healing powers come at the cost of his life force, which is also what caused his parents to die in their early 40's, some 10 years after he ran off with his sister Lisa to escape those that would hurt his sister.

Personality-wise, Matthias is more concerned with the pleasure and well-being of others than his own. He protects anyone even at the cost of himself, strongly believing in not allowing any harm to come to those he is protecting. As a fighter, however, once he makes the distinction that his adversary cares nothing for those they're fighting against, he becomes ruthless and cold, but he does not kill if he can help it.

In terms of looks, he has a somewhat tanned body with grass-green eyes and slightly curly, dark brown hair. He dresses in white, for the most part, at all times, with minimal variation. Underneath the clothes is a scarred body from years of fighting and struggling just to live.

What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Older partners, those that are physically stronger than him/muscles, curvaceous women. Anyone/anything that asserts their desires (barring the years below 16).

Note: If you want one muse to be in the other's world, just let me know and I'll adjust the posts accordingly!

1-6

[tasteoftruth]

[OOC: I hope I'm getting his world right, correct me if I'm not.]

[This was not the right thing to do, Badd is sure of that. The kid is a third his age and he's supposed to be the voice of authority around here. Matthias has almost as many scars as Badd does, which just makes him feel more guilty. The kid has obviously had too much strife in his life for Badd to go causing more problems for him.

He cares for Matthias, that's not in question, and he's fairly sure Matthias returns the sentiments. It's all the more reason he shouldn't have given in to selfish desires and let things get carried this far. You couldn't blame the young. The old had a responsibility to not let the young be foolish.

Badd dresses quietly, doing up the buttons of his shirt with rough fingers. They'll have to have a talk about it. Badd hates talks.]

Crown Blanchard/ Original

[logic_and_magic]

Name: Crown Blanchard
Canon: Original
About:
Crown is from a little world and story that me and my friend are working on. Basically there's magic and lots of families compete to see who have the strongest. Why? Because the ones who are the strongest become King and Queen of their world and rule it. How they decide is with a tournament and see who overcomes the other competitors. Either by killing their opponent or by forfeit.

The reason why he's going along with this? His brother has no magic and therefore is treated like crap. So he wants to take over to change that system. He's very determined but very harsh and blunt with his words. He doesn't do it to be mean but more or less because he's stupid with emotions. When faced with romance his brain shuts down and doesn't really know what he should do. He knows how it works but is unsure on how to act since he believes he's incapable of being in a relationship.

Currently where I've taken him from is he's eighteen and has become King.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Either Gender is preferred. He's not exactly picky on if it's male or female just if they love him in return. Older doesn't matter to him. If they're younger than 15 he will treat them as a brother or sister so no relationship can happen below that age.

Samus Aran | Metroid | OTA

[thechozonone]

Name: Samus Aran
Canon: Metroid
About: A strong, independent woman who carries the weight of the galaxy on her shoulders. Way too serious for her own good.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: Definitely someone who lets her do her own thing. She's not one to be doted on or treated like a princess. She's much more likely to seek companionship from someone who trusts her to handle herself in extremely dangerous situations (and maybe even help her) than those who will give themselves ulcers worrying about her.

[wardennolonger]

Name: Anders
Canon: Dragon Age
About: Somewhere under all of Anders fuss about mage rights, he's a pretty fun guy. Or, he is sometimes. Other times he's angsting about being possessed by a spirit that is slowly making him lose his mind. Up days and down days.
What kind of character they'd be attracted to: I really enjoy playing Anders opposite other men <3 Someone who can help him loosen up would be nice, but also someone who can take him and his cause seriously.
