Wildcard is an IRC-based freeform [[PlayByPostGames roleplay]] based around a future world in which virtual reality is everywhere. It has been considered cyberpunk overall, though the fact that most of the plot is set in virtual reality means that the genre shifts on occasion as the characters travel to fantasy, scifi, or just plain weird simulations. The main plot revolves around a group of characters who are unable to leave the group of virtual reality servers they find themselves lured into, and thus are at the mercy of the whims of the servers.

The website, including logs of each session, can be found [[http://wildcard.pinkgothic.com/ here]]. One of the [=GMs=] is [[@/YamiKuronue a troper here]], as is [[@/{{pinkgothic}} the owner]].

!!This roleplay provides examples of:
* AGodAmI: Crimson fancies himself so far above humanity that the best analogy according to the human culture would be that he is a deity.
* ArtificialIntelligence: Here called "Puppets" in a shout-out to ''Literature/{{Otherland}}''.

* AliensMadeThemDoIt: Frederick and Sirena finally end up in bed together - as Dread forces Frederick to rape Sirena.



* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Sirena]] somehow refuses to stay dead after Dread kills [[spoiler:her]].
* BeingGoodSucks: Sirena makes this comment, pointing out that her constant devotion to the ideal of altruism and community spirit gets her no thanks and much pain. But then again...
* BeingEvilSucks: Sirena also points out that Jen's utterly alone and miserable because of this. Confirmed later by Jen herself.

* BreakTheCutie: Sirena has had a series of minor breakdowns, followed by, at last, a rather more complete breakdown. Similarly, the GM states that [[spoiler: Sethiss]] may undergo this soon.

* DepravedBisexual: The villain Dread. Emphasis on ''villain'', who comes with a very literal form of MindRape (he's a {{Telepath}}) as his main hobby. In consequence, subverted: DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale (we are not laughing [[spoiler:... all the time, at least]]). Attempting to insinuate such to his victims tends to make for an extremely good insult.
