test drive meme!
Interested in playing at Knights of Legend but want to get a feel for the players/characters/world? Already in the game but want to clown around with other muses to see how they would fit here? Now's your chance!
The setting is our world... but all the legends are real, because magic has spilled over the centuries from a Dungeons & Dragons fantasy dimension called the Shadow World into the modern one. If you have a canon character, they too have spilled over through cracks between dimensions - and remember little to nothing of their past lives, except in some rare cases. How much they remember is entirely up to you! Canon characters can either have recently arrived in this world, or already be settled and accustomed to it. Original characters are natives of either this modern+magic dimension, or from the Shadow World - in which case, they too lost memories on their journey here.
Either way, your characters have joined up with the Knights of the Silver Dragon: a large secret organization dedicated to protecting this world against the evil creatures arriving from other dimensions - and protecting the innocent dimensional travelers from cultural misunderstandings and prejudice that they face here.

bakerstreet . Deal with it.How it works:
1. Post as your character with Name | Canon if applicable in the subject line. You can choose the scene and prompt yourself or leave it blank for others to decide. Current players can make threads too, if you'd rather tag them!
2. Others respond to your prompt or after going to RNG and entering numbers 1- 15 for a prompt. The Gamemaster will provide everyone with at least one NPC at random to interact with!
3. Respond and play it out!
4. Part of the fun of KOL is using dice rolls to determine success or failure of actions taken! For the purpose of this meme, don't worry about having a character sheet or stats for your character - if the GM or a fellow player asks you to make a roll to determine something, simply randomize out of 20 and compare it to the number they give you to see if your character succeeds or fails!
5. Play nice. If someone doesn't want to play something out, respect their wishes.
You may use threads from this meme for your application samples!
1. Arrival; Your character wandered into some mysterious mist in their homeworld... and abruptly finds themselves in some part of our modern world, with either all, most, some, or none of their memories missing! Play out their confused first steps in this new world. Get creative about where and what they arrived in the middle of!
2. Popo Shut Us Down; Oh crap, get to the getaway car! You may be innocent or have actually broken the law, but either way, you've got to escape those sirens because the cops don't know or care that you've got a license to kill and now you're wanted. Car, boat, chopper, whatever you want, just flee the scene together and fast!
3. Anger Management; Maybe they said something insulting to you, maybe you just don't like their face, but either way you're hit with the overwhelming urge to punch this person in the face. So you do. And everything rolls on from there. Do you get in an overly dramatic fight full of fiery explosions? Is a friendship shattered? Who knows!
4. Camping in the Wilderness; This has to be the worst mission ever. No fancy hotels for you. Just a tent. Don't get eaten by an owlbear!
5. Monster of the Week; You and the other character are on a mission together when you encounter some kind of hideous monster! Start a thread, and the GM will crash with some kind of randomized beast. :3
6. Trapped! One of the characters is trapped, whether behind bars or an unbreakable glass. Drama and/or epic breakouts ensue.
7. Apocalyptica. It's the end of the world!!11 Evil mages, horrible cults, the tarrasque, world war iii, you choose. The world needs some heroes, so maybe you should get on that.
8. Animated Bulldozer. Some wacky wizard cast a spell on a bulldozer, and now it's taken on a life of its own and is tearing apart the town! Shut it down! And then you should probably get on stopping that wizard, too.
9. Critical Failure. There's failure, and then there's critical failure - the result of rolling a one on your d20. This is an epic level of fail often reserved for slapstick comedy, but sometimes having really horrible consequences. You just set fire to the book you were attempting to do research with. You just tripped and fell face first into a moat full of crocodiles. Here's a solid example.
10. Weapon Training! The Knights handed you a gun - and gave you access to a massive armory full of every kind of medieval and modern weapon you can imagine. Make use of the combat rooms and get in some sparring time!
11. Godmod; The other character just gained the ability to spam spells of massive destruction. This could be bad.
12. Savior; you've been tasked to save this person, no matter the cost. Maybe they're a stranger, maybe they're your closest friend, even your greatest enemy, but you have to save them. From who or what is up to you!
13. C-c-c-cellmates. Man, getting kidnapped stinks. Break out?
14. Texts From Last Night; Either go to tfln, and select one, or make up one of your own!
15. Shot By Your Teammate; In the heat of battle, accidents happen... and the other character just shot you.
16. Attack the Darkness; A classic dungeon crawl scenario! Never split the party as you make your way through a dungeon full of monsters and traps, looking for some kind of treasure.
17. Passive Aggressive Post-It Notes; Living with your fellow Knights 24/7, whether at the castle, or in close quarters on a mission, means you're going to get on each other's nerves sometimes. One or both of you is leaving passive aggressive post-it's for the other. Either respond in only post-it's back and forth, or roleplay out a confrontation once the notes get out of hand! Feel free to use the Post It Note Generator if you so choose!
18. Awkward Brunch; You've all seen plenty of these scenes before. There are tons of situations that can make things ~awkward~ between two people. And now you have to have brunch together. Uncomfortably pull through.
19. Fashion Show; Joining the Knights means getting a fancy suit of chainmail armor in blue and silver to wear for your Knighting ceremony. It weighs a ton and is awkward as fuck 8D You and the other character are trying them on for the first time together.
20. Curses! You have angered a wizard/witch/powerful faerie/omnipotent entity/incredibly stereotypical gypsy/all of the above, somehow, because you're probably a horrible person. The next day you discover you've been cursed. The nature of the curse and whether it affected one or both of you is up to you.

Oh, gods... [Her face a mask of horror as she rushes forward, staring wide-eyed at the hole in his shirt where her bullet went through.] I swear, I was aiming for the other guy it's just that my aim is kind of - are you okay? Do you need to sit? Eat? I can get food? [A beat.] You should sit.
....Kenzi's clearly been a bad influence on you :|
He staggered a step and then started sliding down the wall because suddenly her suggestion sounded really good. And inevitable. Luckily there were enough other people in their party that him suddenly keeling over probably wouldn't get them all killed, but at the moment he was too distracted by ow to process that clearly. ]
I.... yeah, sitting. I think I need to sit. I'm.... I think I'm bleeding.
[ No shit, Sherlock.
Damn, he'd liked this shirt, too.
Wait, that wasn't the proper reaction here, was it? ]
no subject
Um... yeah? I mean it's just a - [Her eyes widen as she moves to crouch in front of him, staring at the blood that spreads across his shirt sleeve.] A little, blood?
[She sounds the least convincing right now.]
I - okay. [Trying to keep calm.] Why don't you just... talk to me and I'll... I'm going to try and... stop this bleeding. [She's going to rummage through her bag and try and find something she can use to do... something? Anything? First aid is not her forte and it's really obvious.] Should I get the bullet out first?
no subject
I think... should I... I think we're supposed to put pressure on it. [ At least he can think clearly enough for that as he winces and shifts against the wall. ]
no subject
[But there's clearly no offense taken as Sawyer hovers and yet, doesn't really know quite what to do.]
Right! Yes. Except, that's going to hurt. [I'm sure he really wants to hear you say that right now Sawyer.] Like, a lot.
[She can be useful though. Or, is trying really hard to be as she wrestles herself out of the cardigan she's wearing so she can use that to stop the bleeding.]
no subject
It, uh. It already sorta hurts. I think we should worry if it stops hurting?
[ He really doesn't want to die here, Sawyer. Look at him, he's way too young and pretty to die yet. ]
no subject
[Stop. Helping. Sawyer.]
Sorry! [At least she realizes she's not.] When I get anxious, my mouth has this habit of saying every thought that pops into my head and the fact that you're bleeding all over the place? Really not helping the whole, anxiety thing right now. [A beat.] Not that you can help that! [Another.] Sorry.
[Sawyer would probably be appreciating how young and pretty he is right now if it weren't for the fact that she shot him and she's trying to turn her cardigan into... well she's not even sure what because she was too busy studying magic to worry about first aid.]
I'm... really sorry. [Grimacing before she can even press the cardigan to his wound.]
no subject
I know you are. I know you didn't mean it. I guess I'm not very good at dodging either, yeah? It'll be okay. I don't think... I don't think you hit anything important?
[ Yes, he's... totally trying to cheer you up for shooting him. I don't even right now. ]
no subject
His touch is what helps to steady her though. Sawyer pulling in a slow, deep breath. Her shoulders shuddering with her exhale and she lifts her gaze, head canting to one side as she speaks.]
Isn't it my job to be telling you that? [More than a hint of gratitude swimming in her dark blue eyes.] You're still conscious so that's... something I guess.
no subject
his smile wobbles a bit as he leans back against the wall, still clutching her cardigan to his wound in an attempt to staunch the bleeding. ]
I can try and swoon for you, if that would make you feel better?
no subject
A nervous flutter of laughter escapes, cracking through the concern that keeps her features tensed.]
Generally, when I have fantasies about a hot guy swooning for me? There's a lot less blood involved.
[Pls don't faint.]
no subject
[ He winces, hand still wrapped tightly about the cardigan as he holds it in place and tries to keep his breathing steady despite the pain. ]
Sorry about your sweater. Are the others... Are they okay?
[ He can't tell if they're still fighting up ahead or if it's calmed down by now. ]
If you need to go help, I'll be okay.
no subject
I figure one sweater for one shirt is a fair trade. [Grimacing again.] Um...
[She'd ya know. Forgotten about the others until right then and Sawyer can see as she looks over her shoulder that the fight is shifting away from them. She can at least make out that things appear to be going their way. Still, to be safe rather than sorry? He'd hear her murmuring something under her breath. See the air around them shimmer and yet it would at least appear, to him? That nothing has changed.]
It's an invisibility sphere. [A beat.] And I'm not leaving you. I shot you! The least I can do is... hover?
no subject
[ That's kinda cool, Sawyer. And also something to distract himself from the ow at least for a few moments. ]
no subject
[The topic of magic one that she clearly feels comfortable with and some of that tension she's been carrying eases.]
As long as we don't attack any of the bad guys? They won't be able to see us.
no subject
[ He sounds a little uncertain as he confesses it, because that was what they were supposed to be here for after all. Right? He just... wasn't very good at it. ]
I didn't even know that was a thing people could do. It's... that's magic, right? [ He is so very far out of his element here. ]
no subject
It's okay. Upside is, you don't have to.
[And it's possible she doesn't simply mean, right now.
Her head cocks to one side, surprise registering on her features. Even with where she was raised, Magic was just something that Sawyer took for granted. Of course, she's submerged herself in it by choice. Most of the people that didn't know much about magic where she was from? Let's just say that she didn't want to show them what she could do.
Nodding.] Arcane magic, specifically. And... it can do a lot more than just, make people invisible. I haven't mastered it yet but, I'm working on getting down a spell that can teleport a group of people through a phone line. [Grimacing again.] Kind of... wishing I'd perfected it right now.
no subject
There wasn't a lot of it, where I grew up. There was some... I mean, there was the old lady on the corner who would read fortunes, but she kinda weirded me out, you know? And I never really wanted to know my fortune either way.
And there was a guy who stayed for a few years down the street. I don't know what he could do - he kept to himself a lot - but I think whatever it as had to do with plants and flowers. His yard always bloomed weeks before anyone else's and always stayed like that almost all the way to winter. [ His lips quirk faintly. ] My mom always said she was jealous. But she wasn't really. She loved walking past to look at it.
[ He's rambling, but anything is better to focus on than the ache in his arm and how dizzy he's starting to feel. ]
no subject
There are, Divine magic users who can specialize in Nature. Clerics who can, make plants grow. Animate trees... I've never seen it personally but. I've read about it.
[Her smile softening as she wraps her arms around her knees. Balancing comfortably in front of him.]
Magic wasn't forbidden where I was from exactly but... It wasn't looked upon kindly either. Small Town. Small Minds. [Her shoulder raising in a shrug as if to dismiss it yet there's a flash in her blue eyes that suggests she's not okay with that mentality.]
People are scared of it because they don't understand it... or don't want to and in the wrong hands? Magic can be dangerous. [Finding a wry grin, she adds;] But, so can a gun.
no subject
But it's not good or bad itself, I think. It's just magic. It always comes back to the people.
no subject
That's the hard part about being part of all this. [Expression tight.] You see a lot of those kind of people.
no subject
For what it's worth, I'm not afraid of you. [ A pause, before his lips quirk faintly. ] Even if you did shoot me.
no subject
Still hurting a lot? [He's been shot Sawyer, what do you think?!]
no subject
Yeah, but it's... it's fine. It'll be fine. I just...
[ It should probably say something that he's still trying to reassure her.
...For all the good it does him when he passes out a moment later, starting to slump over to the side. ]
no subject
No - No-no-no- shit. [Surging forward she throws her hands out to try and keep him from toppling over, looking around frantically for somebody to help but with him out of it and nobody else around...
Somebody breaks out a Nat 20 Treat Injury check to heal 4hp by taking the sweater he'd been holding against his shoulder and turning it into a bandage.]
Wake-up! Please wake up! I swear if you don't wake up I'll slap you and I've already shot you once so just, wake up now and everything will be fine.
