Things I can't remember

[promenades]

THE AMNESIA MEME

Ah, amnesia. The old standby for soap operas, it usually involves a good knock on the head and a complete loss of memory. Ever wanted to do that to your character? Well, now's your chance.

1. Comment with your characters!
2. Others comment. Optionally, go to RNG and roll the scenario. (As to who gets knocked on the head, well, that's up to you!)
3. ???
4. PROFIT.

1. HEAD-ON COLLISION - ...whoops. It was an honest mistake, really! You didn't see that car/tree/post/person/whatever coming, but now you're stumbling out of the wreckage sans memory. Better ask for help.

2. WAIT, WHO ARE YOU? - Okay, so a while ago, you got into...something that caused you to lose your memory. Fortunately, you managed to get by and create a new identity for yourself. Unfortunately, someone new has just entered your life. Or should I say, someone who's a little too familiar...

3. RINSE AND REPEAT - Sigh. Really, this is just so inconvenient. You wake up everyday with no memory of who you are, and have to figure it out over the course of the day, only to fall asleep and have to do it all over again the next day. Good thing someone's there to help you out, right? And what's with all those post-its and notes?

4. THIS ROOM'S TOO WHITE - Welcome to the hospital. You've got an "Unknown" tag on your wrist, a healthy diet of bland hospital food, a steady trickle of doctors coming in to check up on you, and a TV, and nothing else. Looks like someone's coming to help you today, though! Here's to hoping they knew you before you lost your memory.

5. I'M SUPPOSED TO DO WHAT?! - Oh, crap. There's something only you can do right now--that is, the you who didn't lose your memory, anyway. Better figure out a way out of this mess and how to control your strange abilities before it's too late.

6. FIGHTING FOR THE WRONG SIDE - Uh, oh. Looks like your enemies decided to take advantage of your confused state and convinced you that you're on their side. Here's to hoping your allies can get you back to yourself before you cause some serious damage.

7. JUST TOO TRAUMATIC - You just saw something that's so traumatic you lost your memory because of it. Unfortunately, right now, you have to remember it, or else something really bad happens. Hope you don't regret remembering this!

8. I DON'T WANT THIS - You've been living a peaceful, ordinary life, for a while. And you'd rather it stay that way, because you're not sure if you'd want to remember what went before. Unfortunately, something's coming, and the key to stopping it lies in your memories.

9. NO SUCH THING - Maybe you were a wizard, or a werewolf, or an angel, or a demon, or something else entirely before, or maybe you just knew about the masquerade. Sadly, you've been knocked on the head and now believe yourself to be a perfectly ordinary person. Magic? That doesn't exist, right? Anything can be explained with science, after all! Right?

10. I'M WHO?! - And who the hell are you? Basically, this is the wild card option! Combine one of the above or make up a new one or whatever you want! Go wild!

[daddyhoothoot]

[ Hi there!! Any particular prompt you're in the mood for? ]

Anthony J. Crowley / Good Omens

[alpha_centauri]

( either role, no 1 or 4 please, mark s2 spoilers if you wanna go in that direction! )

[salutosinedelectat]

[ Hello hello! Any particular scenario you're in the mood for? ]

Natsuo Todoroki (villain au) | MHA

[coldestsummer]

((anyone on the hero side want to take care of zero after a head injury? could be a fun way to reset him pre-au))

[redfeathers]

( happy to throw the bird your way for this, if you're up for it? )

tom hanniger | my bloody valentine

[pickaxe]

[ hmmmm HMMMMMMM ... probably prefer the amnesia role. ]

Sister Imperator, Prime Mover (1969) | Ghost

[sisterimperator]

[ She could very well lose her memory after driving her car off a cliff... ]

Kafka Hibino 8️⃣ Kaiju No. 8

[kafkaiju]

[ Still setting up but short version- Kafka was a blue-collar dude who cleaned up kaiju corpses until a mysterious event led to him being able to turn into one himself. He's a high-strung, energetic and honest guy who is kind and self-sacrificing to a fault.

I'd love to do something where he's amnesiac in monster form among monsters, or where someone is deliberately taking advantage of his amnesia to have a kaiju attack dog. ]

tilda van der meer | horizon forbidden west

[rijksmuseum]

[ohhh I would love a Beta or Aloy for this so bad... clones where are you! :( For canonmates/those canon familiar: I would give anything for a postcanon/Tilda's alive scenario but her memory has been scrambled and she's kind of pathetic (more than usual) so the GAIA gang can't just kill her.

otherwise, for the canonblind, a quick rundown on Tilda and some prompts I think would be interesting:
prompts that I think are particularly cool: 1-4, 7-8.

in progress info. tl;dr: heiress born between the years 2024-2025 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. in 2033, survives a massive flood triggered by a terrorist group. the event kills tens of thousands and leaves Tilda traumatized. in adulthood, becomes an obscenely rich art collector who earned her fortune via her inheritance, her development of a highly sophisticated forgery detection program, and her work as a reclusive, morally gray, and expensive data broker. Dates famed roboticist and engineer, Dr. Elisabet Sobeck, and fumbles her like no one has ever fumbled anyone before.

Joins a movement of the global elite known as Far Zenith, and escapes an Earth on the brink of collapse in the 2060s to build a colony "beyond the stars" in the Sirius system. Is long-lived (>1000) due to gene modification therapy and advanced nanotechnology. f/f & 21+ (or Aloy) only for anything ship related, ota for gen. canon, crosscanon, aus and ocs welcome.]

Tony Stark | MCU | OtA

[hottestofmesses]

[Would love to play something mission related. Something like:

1. Gets knocked around and crushed by something during a mission and wakes up in the hospital for classic amnesia scenario

2. Disappears from a mission because brain damage amnesia causing panic until found and when found do not touch me ensues because who are you people

or softer semi-romantic 3: Gets hurt during a mission, disappears from said mission, panic ensues, but shows up at your doorstep because I don't know what's going on but something told me to go to you so what's up fill in the blanks please (could be a general feeling or a contact in his phone with a heart on it or a picture of whatever)

Obvious assumed CR for all, platonic or established romantic relationship whatever you like]

[forasecond]

[ignore this journal lmao.... who would you rather have:
Bucky, Natasha, Yelena, or Wanda?]

Harley Quinn | DCEU

[revmeup]

(( could be either side, probably no 7 ))

alina starkov . shadow & bone . ota

[solsankta]

[ would love to play amnesiac alina! ]

Benedict Fox | The Last Case of Benedict Fox | OTA

[companionsgrasp]

[either role, most scenarios should be fine. assumed cr or new meetings both good. *if Benedict is the one retaining his memories then an interesting scenario could be he's trying to help someone remember things by using his eldritch powers to discover important memories. ota!]

Archer | Fate/

[wroughten_iron]

[Would love to do something with him appearing as a 'fresh slate' of a guardian, acting out to right a wrong in the world to protect humanity... or make it all worse. Pretty much all '3'.]

RINSE AND REPEAT

[devilishkouhai]

[ Would you be interested in some insane roleplay loop shenanigan's with BB trying to make Archer's ideal world happen? Dont ask her why shes doing it though. ]

dan heng | honkai: star rail

[placidities]

[ canonically does not remember his past so???? ]

BB ⧸ Fate (all) ⧸ ota

[devilishkouhai]

[peacewithouttyranny]

[hello~ is crosscanon cool with you? i can offer up a confused amnesiac alien mech (probs in human form for reasons) for bb to mess around with, or maybe even look after?]

Ereshkigal || Fate/Grand Order || OTA

[queenofkur]

[ She's the amnesiac one, and totally a nine. Goddess of Death? Nonsense! She's just a florist who's super happy so please don't make her remember her true life which she hates so much.

Though if she doesn't remember it may be a problem when the dead start flooding out of the underworld... ]

[devilishkouhai]

[ Can BB-CHAN make you into a cute little NPC? ]

Nie Huaisang | Mo Dao Zu Shi (novel/donghua) | OTA

[illicitly]

[Most interested in playing him as the amnesiac. 2, 3, 6, 7, and 8 are the scenarios that interest me most but I'm open to most ideas.]

Kylo Ren/Brianna Solo (r!63) • Star Wars • ota

[umbraeternam]

[ either role. if she's suffering from amnesia it'll be temporary no matter the circumstances. for a specifically canon-flavored scenario, would love to do a thing post-temple tragedy where the stress/trauma induced amnesia and Brianna's "in the wind" for X amount of time before family or the Knights find her. (or a variation there of; it's not like there's a shortage of moments in her life where something/someone could push her mind too far.) potentially open to post-TROS "death" leading to some degree of amnesia as well.

if your character's the one with amnesia, open to her genuinely helping or taking advantage (or even potentially having caused it, which could be accidental or intentional).

good with gen or shipping. open to canon, cross canon, OCs, timeline shenanigans. ]

Clara Oswald | Doctor Who | OTA

[makemeasong]

[ ooc: either role, but leaning toward her being the one who forgets to switch up canon. However, not necessary and crosscanon/assumed cr welcome! ]

Jill Warrick | Final Fantasy XVI

[reasonandrime]

(Down to play either role!)

rin sohma | fruits basket

[bitless]

phi | zero escape

[transvenio]

garnet til alexandros xvii | ffix

[poignarde]

dimos | nier re[in]carnation

[prayererror]

[either role, though he's had his memory erased before, so it's not like it's hard.]

Xiao Xingchen | The Untamed

[gentledawn]

[He's confused. Help.]

Lady Nagant | BNHA

[beautifulshot]

[Cool with either role of amnesiac or Nagant figuring out how to deal with someone suffering amnesia.]
