MEME ∞ EMP — May 2025

Meme ∞ EMP
May 2025
Important Links :: ReservesApplicationsInvitesFAQCalendar
Welcome to our first EMP! If you're unsure of who to app, are deciding between characters, or simply want to see who's bringing who, you can participate below. It is not a reserve. Reserves will open May 28.

The EMP is open to all. You don't need an invite to post to it. If you're curious about the game and are looking to see if you click, you can start here.

  • If considering multiple characters, post each one individually under a top-level comment with your PLAYER NAME in the subject line.
  • The TDM is scheduled for May 15. It will be open to all. No invite required to participate.
  • Invite requests will open with the TDM on May 15. You're welcome to submit earlier but we will not be answering them until after the TDM opens.
  • The TDM will have a section where you can express interest in receiving an invite if you don't know anyone in the game. Requests are public but replies to requests will be private.
  • For the first round only, all invited players can app up to 2 characters provided they are not from the same franchise or canon. Playing from the same franchise/canon is allowed, but you can't apply for both in a single round. See the FAQ for more.
In the future, we'll also have a separate ATP form. Since the game is brand new, however, you'll find a small ATP section in the EMP form instead where you can ask for castmates alongside your EMP post!

Character

Name: Daisy Johnson aka Quake aka The Destroyer of Worlds
Canon: Agents of SHIELD ( x )
About: Daisy comes from the unloved stepchild of the early days of the MCU. She started off her hero's journey as a hacktivist who was such a thorn in SHIELD's side that a newly not dead Phil Coulson rolled up and offered her a job. Over the seven seasons of the little show that could, she faced the betrayal of people she trusted (teammate revealed to be Hydra, mom turned out to be a supervillain and killed her, best friend medically tortured her to save the world), a whole lot of trauma (the deaths of many loved ones in the line of duty, being mind-controlled and forced to love the thing behind it, being tortured for her superpowers), and more than one near-apocalypse (which she had the heavy task of helping avert). But despite all the trauma and guilt she carries with her, not to mention the hate groups and politicians questioning her right as an Inhuman to exist, she still cares deeply for other people and firmly believes she was given a gift to help stop bad people from doing bad things. Her moral compass is firm and she holds to her beliefs — unless someone she loves is in danger.

(If that bit about Inhumans sounds familiar, it's because the MCU tried substituting them for mutants when Fox was still its own entity and refused to give up the rights to X-Men. Results were of mixed quality.)

Plans/Ideas: Daisy would be pulled from the end of season 7, right after sacrificing herself to blow up an alien fleet from taking over the Earth as their new homeworld. In the show, she gets better (because it's Marvel), but here, she would probably end up thinking this was all some messed up simulation (there's precedent, okay?) or a fucked up afterlife she probably deserves for all her mistakes. Or, with the right stimulus, she might decide this has to be something like the planet Sakaar, a place where people wash up from all over the universe, which would give her a pretty strong drive to try getting home to her SHIELD family. She's no stranger to the multiverse or concepts like time travel and alternate realities, and helping other people is very much Her Thing, so whoever she attaches herself to had best be prepared for a ride or die friend for life with earthquake powers. (She also lived in a van for two years, so this life on the road thing will be somewhat nostalgic.) Her skills also include computer hacking, subterfuge, weapons and hand-to-hand training, and the ability to be a coherent human being on almost no sleep, so her work options could range from cage fighting to data courier.

Any characters you want to see in the game? As someone used to being a lone canon warrior, there are already so many incredible potential Marvels from across the multiverse that I feel like I can't possibly ask for more.

my brain is a sieve and i barely remember what happened in most of the seasons but i miss the concept of them everyday... if you are ok with shenanigans ( and a lot of rust, honestly ) i might bring fitz around to hit you up during the tdm!! baby fitz for a daisy who has Gone Through It...

The emotions that would inflict upon me... Please. Please, oh please. Baby Fitz was precious and deserved so much better than what the universe threw at him. (Might I recommend this video for a little review?)

Sliding back in here to offer this if you still wanted to dust off Fitz for funsies! I'm keeping Julia in the wings until next round, but I will gently pester you about dusting off Q then, too.

jumps here basically wanting to have cr with all the marvel/mcu adjacent characters !! i'm only familiar with daisy through rp, but i've always had a fun experience. i'd love cr with these two should you bring her in.
chuju: (195.)

[personal profile] chuju 2025-05-02 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
The way I have craved cr with a Wanda for so long. And with the canon point you mentioned in your post... truly chefskiss possibilities! Daisy knows what it's like for people to think the worst of you because of your powers, and how heavily guilt can weigh on you.

[personal profile] carmesi 2025-05-03 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
omg and here we are... on the cusp of making it a reality. i'm sure that there being a SHIELD agent here will not make her freak out or anything, i'm sure it'll be fine! but i'm overall excited for the potential cr between them once she stops being paranoid about it.

As someone who grew up with the original film trilogy and played Rogue for years, I am not ashamed to admit I flailed with glee when I saw your Logan here, and especially at your plan to take him from DoFP. Yes please sign me up for this CR, I need it like oxygen.

Baby Xavier will always be a favorite of mine. Daisy would just be in awe that mutants exist in his world and that there are so many of them, and she'd honestly be a bit jealous of everyone who got to grow up under actual mentorship while learning about their powers. (Her learning process was mostly trial by earthquakes and broken bones.)

There's still time to experiment with powers now! Charles would assure he had to learn how to do it all by himself too, he never got training, so he gets where she's coming from.
