false memory plotting repository
FALSE MEMORIES PLOTTINGWelcome to the Wayward Pines false memory plotting repository!
What's that, you ask? Well, it's essentially a dump for false memory plotting from this point forward - kind of like a CR meme for false memories, except this post will be pinned to the OOC comm, and will be linked in every OOC intro. There is no such thing as 'too late' to this meme!
How do false memories work in The Pines?
Strangely enough, as new characters begin to regain their memories, they also “regain” memories of life here in Wayward Pines. Maybe they rode their bike down this street as a kid. Maybe that park was where they had their first kiss. Almost unanimously pleasant, these memories are entirely at odds with everything your character knows (or thinks they know) about the life they led before Wayward Pines, but at the same time, these memories feel so real. Seeing the objects or people featured in the memories gives your character that same warm nostalgic feeling they’d feel if the events they’re remembering actually happened.
As new characters arrive, veteran characters can simply 'remember' false memories with those new characters, with the general IC feeling that they'd always been there but only now came to the surface.
For more info on the false memories mechanic, be sure to check out our FAQ!
How do I use this page?
It's simple: Create a top-level for each of your characters (or a collective top-level for all of them). Others reply to your top-level if they want to plot false memories with you. Alternatively, you reply to others' top-levels for the same reason! Think of it like a neverending CR meme specifically dedicated to cozy suburban memory-fuckery.
Things you might consider including, if they strike your fancy:
We strongly recommend putting the info in a post on your character's journal and linking that post here rather than putting the info right in your top-level. That way you can edit and update that information as needed, as your top-level can't be edited once it's replied to!

Things you might consider including, if they strike your fancy:
- A blurb about your character's fake-life (as sparse or as detailed as you'd like).
- A summary or list of the false-memory CR you've plotted out so far.
- A false memories 'wish list'.
- False memories preferences, if you have any. (For example: "Only looking for positive false-memory CR right now!")

Jonathan Sims | The Magnus Archives
Namely he's a married man with a wife he adores who works in the library. That's about all I have for the moment.
Interested in: FAMILY! Jon's canonically an orphan raised by an old woman who kind of resented his existence so lots and lots of family would be grand. Friends would be great too, since he doesn't really have many of those either.
Things to Know: He's got a few things going on re: abilities (that is a link to his permissions post with a rundown) and he's Chronically Bad With People but he's a genuinely good person who cares deeply and will go not just TO the wall for you but THROUGH the wall for you. That said, he's from a horror canon so elements of that are going to be part of his play. I'm good with being careful and trigger warning as needed for threading.

Jon's technically only like 30ish but he acts like he's been an old man forever.

I was gonna tag you but it occurred to me that with fake CR for Archer and Georgie, do you think these two might vaguely know each other? Archer also frequents the library to
mess withleave codesspeak with "Pierce Steel" so there's potential here!
