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???

[She hadn't realized at the time that it was a way to keep Jade too occupied to dig too deep into her magic.]
Is anyone else in your family magic users too? Like you?

[ it's a short thing, the way he pauses with his hands poised over the bowl of egg yolks. something he forces himself through, bringing another egg down against the rim of the bowl and splitting out the white to let just the yolk drop down to join the others.
despite the hitch, his tone continues as genially as he can get it. ]
OK, quip ro pro-- [ oh, buddy it's quid pro quo but...close enough? ] I wanna see how much we actually have in common, now.

Back home, the Godfrey line of witches are very well known. Gran actually sits on a council for the area. My mother, Scarlett is more of a free spirit. She was gone for most of my childhood. Gran raised me and Scarlett visited. They're both witches, too.
As for my father... I didn't actually meet him until right before I came through the Veil, actually. He's...not a witch.

Mine fled Samoa and the druid tribes when she was pregnant with my mother. You get involved with the community politics at all?
no subject
I don't know if you've noticed, but I have a slight issue with doing what I'm told.
[She's not a crazy rebellious type, but she is very... very strong willed.]
no subject
[ little spitfire. mak watches her with a sharper gaze, now. decides that sure, he'll put this out there. see what comes back... ]
You know they say your type is just what politics needs, usually.
no subject
Yeah, but there's no council of Adepts here. Besides, if I did any of that crap, it would mean there would be much less time for baking. I'm onto you. [She turns to face him, pointing her spatula at him in mock accusation.] Just trying to get this kitchen all to yourself.
no subject
Little ol' me? Now, whatever would I do that for? Besides, then I'd have to do all the dishes instead of playing you for 'em.
[ who knows what their ritual game is for determining dish duty but it's prob super cute considering this whole interaction...? ]
no subject
Nah, I like it here. Home was complicated anyway.
[Her face falls a little, focusing more on the food.]
Do you miss them? Your family?
no subject
but mak doesn't directly answer jade's question, either. he starts to stir hollandaise in a giant bowl, turning to lean his butt against the counter while he goes. ]
You know, I spent a lot of my early life away from them. Needed to get out of the city in what I thought was a search for my own space, or some'. We called, and I sent money home and visited when I could but I always knew they'd be there if things got rough.
[ he stops stirring for a moment, eyes casting down at the floor. ]
Now that I'm doing something important that I can't just walk away from... Sometimes it feels like there's a little piece of me that don't quite fit right.
no subject
[At least she thinks so?? Correct her if she's wrong big fella.]
And take me with you. I could use an excuse to break out a bikini.
no subject
[ it's easier in this moment to dream with jade instead of revisit the truth of the matter. maybe it's a little selfish, but mak can't kick all of his old habits in one go, right? ]
My sister would love you. Even if you don't lead with the goodies.

I meant your sparkling personality, mama. [ he's so affronted rn. ] Tell me-- is it hard to breathe with your head so far down in the gutter like that?
no subject
All part of that 'sparkling personality' of mine. Besides, someone's got to try to get you to loosen up around here.
[She might make it a personal challenge to make him blush. Cmon, it would be hilarious.]
no subject
[ if your idea of loose is that sometimes he uses the same spoon to stir different pots of pasta. oooooooh. ]
Hell, I think I'm a damn party animal.
no subject
But we can work on that. You could come to London with me tonight. I feel like dancing.
no subject
How about we play for it? I lose, I go dancing-- hell, I'll go and I'll sing a little TayTay in the lobby. In a tutu!
[ fast forward to a week later in the lobby... ]
