IC ANON MEME

THE IC ANON MEME


RULES AND INFO

Everything must be from an IC in-world perspective. The meme is specifically a Legion fandom meme. UP citizens, Legion World Staff, and Legionnaires all have access to the meme. While this meme is in the meme comm, it is real in the game universe and all the Legionnaires and the public can see it ICly. Rather than other ic anon memes where characters post starters to the meme, this meme operates like real world memes like rpanons.

There are 3 ways to post. When posting as non-Legionnaires, do it anon. When posting as Legionnaires that unwisely comment unanon, just do it logged in. If posting as Legionnaires going anon, do it logged in, but mark "anon" in the subject, so we know it's anon, but can have a laugh over which Legionnaires are secretly stanning or shitposting.

Not necessarily a rule, but keep in mind that attitudes in the UP are different than our world. Most people are referred to generally as "people" or "sentients" instead of species-specific terms like "humans." Most racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, and other "ist" attitudes are now uncommon among most species in the UP. Many sexual orientations exist, polyamory and polygamy are considered acceptable, and gender identity is very flexible. Species-based xenophobia tends to be the bigger social ill and even with that, many are against it. The species that are most disliked and distrusted are Durlans, Daxamites, and Roboticans. If you want to use them for fun, common UP cursewords are on the Legion Basics page.

Beyond sticking to those basics, don't worry about getting anything "wrong." It's a meme and people tend to say stupid things on memes. You can even make up fake species and planets and details about them. The UP is huge and has lots of planets and species not mentioned in the game info.

You can pretend to write things from the POV of Legion staff sharing the deets on the Legionnaires. However, they wouldn't share tactical info on the Legionnaires that could get them hurt in battle, only juicy gossip. Also, if someone is writing from the POV of Legion staff and writes something about your character that your character doesn't actually do, keep in mind that half the time people make shit up. It'll just be false gossip.

Try to keep anything that can't be put behind a link sfw. While you can write someone sharing the start of their steamy slash fanfic, try to keep it limited to just part of it. Linking to fanart as if it was made in universe is a-okay, but just make sure to put it under a link and warn if it it's nsfw. Please check character ages before posting any nsfw stuff to make sure they're over 18.

Feel free to get really crazy. Fandom gets crazy and fandom is no different in the glorious robot future. There are normal posters, shitposters, trolls, rpf ficcers, stans, slashers, all the same things our time has. There are macros and gifs and ongoing fake memes you can make up. There will be a few preposted topics but you can make up new ones or just have anons create new topics or troll.

The meme is generally modless and has no thread-freezing. Fandom plays it dangerous in the future and the ic mod rarely intervenes, though anons sometimes try to get them to. Anon comments can be deleted by the real mods at the request of players (like say if they made a formatting mistake and want to repost) but there should be no need to delete anything beyond that since it's all IC.

I'm pretty sure Freelancer lives on coffee and fresh fruit and that's it

I've never seen him eat anything else

Pretty sure humans need more than that to survive but nope, not that one

Maybe some of his internals were modified when he went into the military?

Re: Legionnaire Details

(Anonymous) 2016-11-22 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
That's a really inefficient modification for a human.

Re: Legionnaire Details

(Anonymous) 2016-11-22 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno, maybe he just likes the taste of fruit, but really just needs matter to break down for a fission reactor of some kind?

His armor's got to be powered by SOMETHING.

do humans HAVE fission reactors, or are you talking about the armor?

i know nothing about human biology, so. actual question here.

Okay but does Freelancer have cybernetics? Is there a way to tell? We saw he has scars in the Murderworld footage, but those don't look uniform, so that's probably not it.

Re: Legionnaire Details

(Anonymous) 2016-11-22 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
master chief's are, or at least the ones on what we've seen of his arms. compare photos. freelancer's don't match.

Re: Legionnaire Details

(Anonymous) 2016-11-22 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I just found photos of Freelancer's arms to compare and what happened to him

That kind of scarring isn't normal for a human

Re: Legionnaire Details

(Anonymous) 2016-11-22 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
they're primitives soldiers, remember. they don't have good med tech probably.

Re: Legionnaire Details

(Anonymous) 2016-11-22 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay that's a good point

Probably explains Locksmith's eye too

Re: Legionnaire Details

(Anonymous) 2016-11-22 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Pls link me. I need these photos. For reasons.

Re: Legionnaire Details

(Anonymous) 2016-11-22 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay they're [here]

[Linked are a few screencaps of Murderworld footage where Wash has his sleeves pushed up. Heavy, irregular scars crisscross his arms. They look old, but it's still not pretty.]

Re: Legionnaire Details

(Anonymous) 2016-11-22 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
does that mean master chief has cybernetics? is that what his armor hooks up to?

Re: Legionnaire Details

(Anonymous) 2016-11-22 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
maybe. i don't know cybernetics unfortunately. would that explain why he's so big do you think?

proooooobably not? or not a lot of them anyway. he moves like a normal human so idk what he'd have that uses enough power to need a reactor.

Re: Legionnaire Details

(Anonymous) 2016-11-22 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
maybe they hook up to the armor? idk there's got to be something

Re: Legionnaire Details

(Anonymous) 2016-11-22 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
i'd think they'd put the reactor in the armor itself? idk it's not like we've got a lot of spare space to go cramming stuff into, and it's way easier to do repairs when there isn't extensive surgery involved.
