[http://anemoi.dreamwidth.org/profile Here]. A [[Ontological Mystery|jamjar]] game where, upon their arrival, [[Laser Guided Amnesia|characters lose their memories]]. Newcomers are brought to the laboratory in the center of the city of Sirocco, where they are employed by the government and told that the way to get memories back is to find [[Mineral MacGuffin|anemoi]], either out in the wilderness or through taking jobs in the city, and bring them back to the lab for processing.

[http://anemoi.dreamwidth.org/profile Here]. A [[Ontological Mystery|jamjar]] game where, upon their arrival, [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|characters lose their memories]]. Newcomers are brought to the laboratory in the center of the city of Sirocco, where they are employed by the government and told that the way to get memories back is to find [[Mineral MacGuffin|anemoi]], either out in the wilderness or through taking jobs in the city, and bring them back to the lab for processing.

And once you get more than a few miles out from city limits, the wilderness can be pretty damn wild. There are all sorts of creatures out there, including creatures from the characters' own worlds. Sirocco is the only known bastion of civilization, and its numbers are dwindling -- hence the influx of newcomers. Characters don't know how or why things got to be this way, but perhaps they'll find out sooner or later...

=== This game provides examples of: ===

* [[Back From the Dead]]: Characters who are killed discover themselves on a train headed to the afterlife. Should they choose to get off at the Sirocco stop, they'll return back to life.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: There's quite a few already, but [[Disgaea|Axel]] dwarfed the rest by an order of magnitude when he was around.

** [[Tiger and Bunny|Kotetsu]] comes close, especially in the adventure logs.

* [[Coincidence Magnet]]: Not any particular character, but rather the Ermis Suites themselves. The RNG has come up with some ''incredible'' rooming assignments. [[Fate Stay Night (Visual Novel)|Archer and Shirou]], [[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)|Prussia and America]], and [[The DCU|Jaime and Booster]] all ended up as roommates. The [[Random Number God]] certainly has a sense of humor for this game.

* [[Dead to Begin With]]: [[Danny Phantom|Danny]] is [[Half Human Hybrid|half-ghost]], so he only half counts -- but he showed up in ghost mode, and doesn't remember that he's still alive.

* [[Dead to Begin With]]: [[Danny Phantom|Danny]] is [[Half-Human Hybrid|half-ghost]], so he only half counts -- but he showed up in ghost mode, and doesn't remember that he's still alive.

* [[Eldritch Location]]: Some of the areas within the wilderness can be these.

* [[Everyone Can See It]]: [[Fate Stay Night (Visual Novel)|Shirou and Rin]]. However, [[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Vriska]] seems to think they're [[Foe Yay|waxing black for each other.]]

* [[Jerkass Gods]]: The "gods" (for lack of a better term) in this setting, including [[Pokémon (Franchise)|Kyogre]] and [[Final Fantasy VI|Shiva]], are responsible for the amnesia in the setting. [[Final Fantasy VIII|Doomtrain]] may be the exception -- no one can remember it causing their amnesia.

* [[Killed Off for Real]]: In contrast to [[Back From the Dead]] above, characters who choose to stay on the train are permanently dead and can never be apped back into the game again.

* [[Laser Guided Amnesia]]: Part of the premise.

* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Part of the premise.

* [[Mega Crossover]]: Not just the characters -- the indigenous life and even mechanics of other worlds can be introduced into the game, like the magic from [[Fire Emblem Elibe|Elibe]] or the [[Guilty Gear (Video Game)|Guilty Gear]] world or the Bands function from [[Final Fantasy IV the After Years]].

* [[Mineral MacGuffin]]: The anemoi.

Line 28:

* [[Shipper On Deck]]: [[Shadow Hearts|Joachim]] and [[Touhou Project|Ran]] ship [[Guilty Gear|Ky]]/[[Endless Frontier|Kaguya]].

* [[Shut Up Kiss]]: [[Fate Stay Night|Shirou]] gave one to Rin.

* [[Suck E ~~Cheeses~~]]: Sirocco has one! [[Endless Frontier|Kaguya]] tried to take [[Guilty Gear (Video Game)|Ky]] there. [[Funny Moments|For Valentine's Day]].

* [[Suck E. Cheese's]]: Sirocco has one! [[Endless Frontier|Kaguya]] tried to take [[Guilty Gear (Video Game)|Ky]] there. [[Funny Moments|For Valentine's Day]].

* [[Summon Everyman Hero]]: Characters range from the superheroes of [[Tiger and Bunny]] and [[The DCU]] to normal humans like [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Tsuruya]].

* [[Super Team]]: A bona fide Justice League, or at least as bona fide as one can get with [[Booster Gold]] as its manager and only member actually from [[The DCU]].

* [[Theme Music Power Up]]: Occurs frequently in anemoi-gathering logs. May overlap with [[Awesome Music]].

* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]: Occurs frequently in anemoi-gathering logs. May overlap with [[Awesome Music]].

* [[Time Travel]]: Often casually utilized by [[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Dave Strider]], but special mention goes to the Ao Oni plot, in which Dave and [[Booster Gold|Supernova]] came back to the present of the RP from a [[Bad Future]] in order to [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]].

* [[Trapped in Another World]]
