TEST DRIVE MEME

Welcome to Ryslig's test drive meme! If you're considering apping here, this is where you can try your characters out in the game's setting. A few things to note: The State of the Game Discussion produced a lot of great suggestions and we now have a post for Plot Suggestions and Monster Questions. The NETWORK VOTE results are in and PRIVATE MESSAGING will be added some time in November. Lots of people have asked good questions on the FAQ, so do take a look. You can only app ONE character per round so choose wisely. Reserve and application dates have been announced. Test drive meme threads can be used for your roleplay sample! Sample scenarios: SCENARIO ONE: You've just been released from the hospital in Vandare and no one really seems to know what to do with you. The locals offer polite advice but don't seem to want to spend a lot of time with you. You and the other new arrivals stick out like sore thumbs, so perhaps one will spot you wandering about town. SCENARIO TWO: You've become hopelessly lost in Lager Woods. Paths don't seem to lead where you remember them leading, and you feel as if you're going around in circles. Childlike giggling can be heard from no direction in particular. Suddenly, you stumble upon another character, who seems to be just as lost as you! Perhaps you can find a way out together. SCENARIO THREE: The time has come and you've found yourself becoming a monster. Is the change instant, or gradual? Are you familiar enough with monsters to know what's happening, or is it a complete shock? NOTE: Feel free to pick any monster type for this prompt, but note that you may not get the same one in game.

If Cersei was in less of a state of shock herself, she might have struck the girl where she stood. Instead, she stares at the insolent child (she cannot be much older than her own daughter) for a full second before her expression twists into one of rage--but beneath the lioness threatening to pounce is a woman who relishes moments like these, when she can put those who underestimate her in their place.

"You forget who you speak to, girl." Although her features and manner of dress are foreign to Cersei--they may very well be in one of the Free Cities--so it may bear reminding. "I am Cersei Lannister, Queen-Regent of Westeros, and you will tell me what you know of this place." Her demand did have to be amended somewhat, considering the child claimed not to know what a maester is...Cersei ignores the doubt gnawing at the back of her mind. If she accepts that she is no longer even on Essos, she accepts that she has no power here.

Azula was quiet for a moment, processing that information. She'd never heard of a place called Westeros, although the woman's commanding tone and overall bearing supported her claim of being a Queen-Regent. Even in the Earth Kingdom, which had more than one king, there was no land called Westeros. Intriguing, and disturbing. Still, the information was enough to make Azula adjust her tone to one that was a little more respectful. Not enough to see this woman as her superior - no, only Azula's own father could claim that right. But more respectful nonetheless.

"I am Azula, Crown Princess of the Fire Nation, and regrettably I know nothing of this place beyond the fact that the peasants aren't terribly helpful, Queen Cersei. I must confess, I have never heard of Westeros...but if you did not recognize my clothing as being from the Fire Nation, you must not have heard of my country, either."

She took a moment to think about what she did know about their situation. A Queen and Princess wandering around in the same strange place, yet each from a place the other hadn't heard of? What were the odds?

"However, I don't imagine it's a coincidence that there are two royals trapped here. It may be an elaborate kidnapping operation."
