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.

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.
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???

[ scoffity scoff scoff. but ok so there's a more pressing issue here. one that makes nyssa look as if she's just sucked a lemon. ]
I would, however, like to know exactly how these wound up in your night stand drawer.

And as he does he stumbles to a stop because wait, you're familiar. Or at least your armor is. Barry looks her up and down for a second before ... ]
Wait, are you from the League of Assassins?
[Good job, Barry.]

I'm gonna take that as a yes.

[ nyssa's eyes narrow and there's a beat before she decides to resheath her weapon. her eyebrow raises. ]
What is your business?
no subject
I'm here to rescue you? Or ... I'm here to rescue someone. Our boss said there was trouble.
no subject
[ jeez, barry does it look like she's damseling right now? look she's all bad ass and not at all causing trouble she is a model citizen, bud. ]
You may return to your ... boss with a report of a job well done.
no subject
Great. I'll, uh. I'll do that.
[And he'll start to zip away, as Barry do, but five minutes later he'll come zipping right back again.]
Do you want to come with me?
13 } idk what my dice were doing but
She knows her name. She knows she has a weird attachment to canaries. And she knows that she can kick someone's ass if she absolutely has to. But friends, family, where she came from before the Veil? They're all threads that she can't seem to catch. She dives into old news reports, seeing if there's something that might jog her memory, and there's one thing she does find - a series of red and gold streaks in San Francisco that tugs at something in her mind, so she goes, trying to see if she can track down the source of it and any answers it may hold.
Turns out Laurel Lance can't resist the urge to help people either. She launches herself into a fight without even thinking, and while they do pretty well for themselves, they still wind up in containment.
She sits next to this woman, and she can see the strength in her and there's something about her that's right, but she can't quite put her finger on what that is.]
You called me Laurel.
[It's not a question and more of a statement asked in place of the question. This woman knows her. She wants to know how.]
no subject
A mistake.
[ her eyes fall closed again.
nyssa pushes away memories of milkshakes and the freedom to choose her path. of dead lance women and the crusades that lead them toward warrior's deaths. of the cruel joke that is this world and its desire to rip the identities from people.
that some people refuse to let go of them. ]
no subject
She gets to her feet and paces away for a moment, eyes surveying the room as though it somehow holds her plan of escape, and decides to take a less direct tactic.]
What's your name?
[She tries to keep he tone firm, turning to face her so that she can watch the other woman's body language, even though she's almost impossible to read as it is.]
You know mine - only seems fair I get to know yours.
no subject
Nyssa. Nyssa Raatko.
[ she would never belong to her father again. ]
no subject
Were we friends?
no subject
Yes.
[ a simple word, whispered against her heart's protests to open up again. ]
no subject
It's like there are these threads in my mind that should have information at the end of them, but when I pull on them, there's just ... nothing there.
[She rubs at her temples as she sits down.]
It's frustrating as hell.
no subject
[ she understands it well, having done quite a lot of pulling of her own. threads cut beneath seams that tear under the pressure. excess that tangles and knots if not severed at the base.
it's difficult to keep her voice cold. ]
You should not worry at them. Your life is here now.
no subject
[She makes a face.]
I was unconscious for a while when I first got here. They said I lost a lot of blood, that I had been stabbed pretty badly. I guess of all the things I could have lost, my memories are the least objectionable.
[She's glad she lived, but the lack of answers still nags at her.]
