Rundown:

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.

Are there any games out there that allow fandom OCs that aren't MMO protagonists? I've been reading the Books of Raksura recently, and I'd really love to bring my OC from the series somewhere! No connection to canon characters, to avoid potential awkwardness.

I wish I had a suggestion for you, anon. I actually like fandom OCs and wouldn't mind them in games so long as they weren't the kind everyone always expects. There's so much that could be done with them.

I wish they were allowed more. You have a completed setting with clearly established rules to play with, and if you step out of them, it's easier to be critted or held accountable for it instead of "Well it's my OC world I can do what I want with it!"

I would be willing to fill out an additional app section outlining my oc's knowledge of major canon events and NPCs. Something to add some accountability and curtail the sort of fandom oc we all hate

would be super happy to do this too. all my fandom ocs i take special care in crafting them so they wouldn't step on canon character's toes, but there's so much i'd love to explore with the world building and cr with canon characters.

you know how ocs often have their own separate apps with additional sections explaining their world? could easily be done with a fandom oc too, a separate section detailing their relationships (or lackthereof) to canon characters and their place in the canon world.

i hate surprise long lost siblings and surprise former lovers and surprise kids as much as anyone else

(also da)

I would love it if this was a possibility. I don't actually want to write a surprise long lost sibling but I sure as hell do want to explore the world and how characters live outside of the canon characters. let me talk about how my starfleet engineer knows about Kirk (because everyone knows Kirk) but has never served on the Enterprise and doesn't want, is happy repairing starbases.

I get why we tend to look askance at fandom ocs but they can be a lot of fun.

I have so many pokemon ocs that have no relation to any of the main characters or even side characters and have never interacted with them (but know of them because who wouldn't) that I just love thinking about. Pokemon sm/usum also opens up a lot of doors with the ultra worm holes which are basically canon alternate universe holes. it's ripe for fandom ocs.

a starfleet engineer sounds great and i think they'd translate well into a panfandom game too. there's lot of other cross-canon characters who'd be interested in that stuff or also work repairing things.

There are so many settings that are perfect for fandom ocs and have great connections with cross-canon characters. So much fun and potential, and it's obvious that other people exist in these settings. there are settings where fandom ocs might not work well, like maybe the mcu, but otherwise I don't want to have to create an entire world for my character when all I want is this urban fantasy setting/pokemon/star wars/whatever.

I hope your pokemon ocs get some love one day, anon! or at least a game that allows fandom ocs opens up eventually.

Dresden Files is basically made for fandom OCs, let me play my LA-based bar-owning werewolf

i read a lot of urban fantasy books, and most of them would suit a bunch of fandom ocs. mercy thompson (fae, vampire, werewolf, skinwalker, witch) of a variety of positions. kate daniels and a pantheon of animal shifters to pick from, in a variety of positions including a mercenary guild. the hollow's series and the fun of playing with the fact that humans are terrified of tomatoes. these are some of my favorite series and i would love to make a character from one of those fandoms. they don't have to be involved with the main casts, but the world setting is already laid out.

hugtopia does, iir!

I'll be sure to check it out!
