Knights of Legend | 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.

Compiled from various memes at

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.
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! Many people end up using this TDM as canon or partial canon to their post-Veil history! As long as you get the consent of those you're threading with, that's perfectly fine. :)

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. The Floor is Lava; When spells go very wrong (or right?), sometimes childhood games aren't so funny... or imaginary.

4. Trapped in an Elevator; Bad luck or part of a villainous trap?

5. Roadtrip; You and the other character are on a mission together but it involves some travel. How will you handle life on the road together?

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. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Whether mad science gone wrong, or dangerous magic, now there are people-sized tomatoes terrorizing the town. Someone better do something about that.

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. Handcuffed Together; You've fallen prey to a set of cursed handcuffs, and now you and the other character are inseparable! Literally...

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. ~~At least you think it was an accident. Dun dun dun.~~

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. Another Goddamn Squiring Party: Squiring parties are exciting! Until you've been to a hundred of them.. Maybe this one will get spiced up with some drunken shenanigans???

[ Cisco opened a breach for... well, he's sure there was a reason, and it was an important one. He's also sure that he'd meant to stay on the Earth-One side of the breach, but that was a thing that didn't happen. And he ended up somewhere completely foreign, confused and alone. Unable to open a breach back home. So of course he did his research, tried to find Central City. Nada. Tried to find his doppleganger. Zilch. Tried to find the Flash. There he had some luck.

He followed the news reports and streak sightings to London, then dug deeper, figuring if he found the trouble, he'd find the Flash. He just... didn't expect that trouble to come in the form of a couple of snake-people. ]

Barry! [ He prays a silent prayer of thanks. ] A little help?!

[Barry glances back to the nagas and is quick to zip zip zoom, trying to get as close as he can without giving the nagas reason to bite him.]

When did you get here?

[ Cisco is holding a hand up like he's gonna snake-charm the nagas into leaving him alone, but he casts a nervous glance over towards Barry. ]

Here where? Here London? Yesterday. Here this Earth? Last week. Here this alley? About an hour ago, then these guys show up and nobody's having a good time!

[There's a few well landed punches and the nagas start slithering off towards the sewers, but Barry doesn't try to catch them. He can't take both of them on his own with just Cisco, at least not as they're armed right now, so he's going to have to call in reinforcements.

He reaches for his phone, before looking up at him.]

Yeah, well, even less people are going to be having a good time if we don't get some back up. I'm going to text Thea.

[Which he will do. And once that is done, he's going to make his way closer and pull him into a hug because man has he missed you, Cisco.]

It's good to see you, man.

[ I mean, he's not not hugging Barry, but he's pulling back real quick and raising an eyebrow. ]

Thea's here? You've got some 'splaining to do, and soon.

Starting with, who're the killer cobras?

Yeah, Felicity too. And Oliver but we haven't exactly seen him in a while.

[Oliver Queen still has his fantastic running away tendencies. That much is certain. Once Thea confirms that she is on her way, he shoots another text to Clark Kent, because he can likely get Thea down there a lot faster than her driving could.]

Also, I think they're called nagas? I don't really know much about them beyond their bite is poisonous and they use magic.

[ Cisco gives Barry a Look. Magic? pls. But he'll let it slide. ]

Where did they come from?

[Magic is very complicated, Cisco. That's a whole other discussion they'll have to catch up on later.]

Probably through the Veil, just like us. Or they were born here because their parents came through the Veil ... you catch my drift. It's a lot of chicken or the egg sort of stuff.

[ Uh, what? ]

I came through a breach, not a veil. Speaking of, how did you even come through? You were locked up at STAR Labs. [ For... reasons Cisco can't recall. ]

What?

[Now ... Barry is officially confused.]

Last I remember from back home, I was running into the singularity after Eddie ...

[You know.]

I've been here for over a year, man.

A year?! [ What? How? ] Did you run back in time again?

[There's no real time to get an answer to that question before a blur of red and blue zips over to them, stopping just past the pair of them. It's Clark! And in his arms, he's carrying Thea Queen bridal style. He glances between Barry and Cisco before nodding to Barry.]

We came as quick as we could.

[ thea has to take a few huge breaths before she nudges clark to set her down, wobbling slightly as her converse hit the pavement, adjusting the bow and quiver slung over her shoulder. she still kind of feels like she's moving, it's weird. ]

Between the two of you super babes, you think I'd be used to it by now. [ she pats clark's arm, using it to hold herself steady and murmuring, ] Thanks, Kansas. [ before turning her attention to barry as she draws the katana from her back with a delightful flourish. ] So nagas then sushi?

[ a beat, spotting cisco. ] 's up, handsome.

[ Cisco stands there in stunned silence for a minute, blinking. You'd think he'd be used to blurs of motion by now, but they're usually red and gold, not red and blue. ] Friend of yours?

...Thea.

Yeah, this is Clark. He works with me and Thea.

[He's going to let Cisco assume in a mask capacity because a) it's accurate and b) he doesn't have time to explain the knighthood right now. They can do that over sushi.

He's also quick to fill in the blanks because he can already see the stunned confusion covering Thea's features, and there's enough memory confusion going around right now as it is.]

Clark, Thea, this is my buddy Cisco. He's from home. He's the one who found the nagas.

Great. Nice to meet you. So who wants to tell me what a naga is?

[ she still looks a little weirded out by this guy knowing her (do they have the same hairstylist???), but latches on to clark's question. ]

Ditto. That's what I want to know.

[ yep, just still staring at cisco though, eyebrows knit together in bewilderment. ]

[ Cisco has a brief moment of confusion as to why Thea doesn't recognize him when they've met, like, at least twice. Maybe it's the timeline being weird, though, so he shrugs it off in favor of the matter at hand. ]

Snake people. They cornered me here, but Barry scared 'em off into that sewer.

[Oh great, so is he the only one who knows about them and what he knows is barely anything? Awesome.]

They have a poisonous bite and some of them use magic. There are different kinds, but I don't really know enough about them to tell which is which.

Magic? [Clark doesn't really...like magic. At all.] Any idea what kind of weaknesses they have?

[ a sewer. she narrows her eyes at barry. ur dead 2 me. which is why she brattily corrects him, ] Venomous. I can't believe you sent them to a sewer, Barry. I'm wearing canvas sneakers.

[ gon' be nasty. ]

[ Again with the magic! What is wrong with you guys? ]

Not a clue. Speed-punches tend to work on most metas... a little lightning couldn't hurt.

[And then he blinks at Cisco because ...]

Lightning?

[Never mind, not important, time to keep Thea from glaring at him.]

I was thinking me and Clark might head down there to drive them back, and then Cisco and Thea can stay up here and shoot them? Like a sniper?

I'm good with that. [He's so curious about Barry's speed okay. This could be fun.]

I do like sniping, [ thea muses, flashing barry a grin that acts as her agreement to this vague inkling of a plan. ]
