We mustn't offend the all powerful NPCs!

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

so, anyone feel like talking to me about games that aren't straight jamjars? even if it's something similar to eudio with their "we'll grant your heart's desire if you come live here" schtick. but aus, even anything where the characters aren't just trapped in one city. i've been playing in traditional jamjars so long that i want a change.

other desires:
- up to medium paced / medium ac requirements / backtag friendly (all the usuals)
- plot > slice of life
- obscure canon / lcw / oc friendly
- good participation prospects for characters who don't have powers or combat skills
- good participation prospects for characters under 18 that also fall into the above category
- not a murdergame or mem-loss game

addendum:

just a note that, although i singled out teenage and non-fighter characters, i haven't decided who i want to app at the moment, so there are also adult and combat-experienced characters in mind. but as it can be harder to find ways to involve the former characters in my experience, i am more interested in hearing about games where they can get involved.

I don't know if it'd be enough of a departure from most jamjars to be what you want, but at [community profile] thelegion, even though they don't choose to be brought to the game, they're not stuck in a single small place. The team has a main base on a space station the size of a moon, but in their downtime they're free to travel at will through portals to any of the planets in the setting. So alongside the plots taking place on a different world each time, you're allowed to set threads on different worlds with thread partners if you want, and even the SOL events between plots are set in different sci fi settings each time.

They also have a choice whether or not they join the team and the npcs refuse to force them.

It hits your other requirements, too.

- slow to medium but it tends towards medium a lot, especially with plots. Backtag friendly.
- plotty. very very plotty
- the game has a few big casts but most of the taken list is actually LCWs. OCs are allowed
- nonpowered people can get powers and there's training for combat and superhero skills you can handwave in the background
- not murder or memloss

The game setting has it so 14 year olds are considered adults in their society, so we have some under 18s that came in with very little or no combat skills, like Kubo and Dipper Pines, that are treated as just as much a part of the team as the adults. Or at the very least they're not treated as any less capable than the anime figure skaters.

i can deal with the forced arrival for the rest, i think. it sounds really interesting! i'll definitely look into it further and see who i'd want to bring, thank you.
