The Canon Expies Meme



SAVE THE EARTH is a world tragically devoid of some of our most beloved works of fiction! (good thing too, otherwise reincarnates would be even more fucked up!) Or rather, they exist until someone apps from them, at which point they retroactively don't. But don't feel too bad for this Earth's inhabitants - just as no niche in nature is left open long before life fills it, other, similar fiction has taken the places of the canons we know!

Okay, so since we're all playing modern AUs most of them are familiar with pop culture, right? But since some are off-limits, we've got to get creative. Comment with a little about the expy - or expies, maybe there's more than one - of your character's canon. Or other canons. It can be more or less similar, by the same or different authors, have suspiciously similar titles or anything else! Be as straightforwards or detailed as you wish.

Dark Alteration is a series of third-person shooter RPGs developed by SynthWare, starring Captain Paster in his/her quest to fight the Harvesters. They were remarkably popular, although the ending was extremely controversial, with fans becoming incredibly angry. SynthWare is also the creator of Magi Era, a series of fantasy RPGs, with the third game to come soon.
