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???

Wynn is our boss, there's a dungeon because I joined a knighthood and ... magic is going to take a whole lot to explain than ...
... Hey, Wynn, it's Sir Allen.
[And with that he will step away so Clark and Thea can keep explaining while he sorts this out with Wynn.]
no subject
So you guys all know each other? [Barry seems to know him. And Barry knew Thea before the Veil, so he's just assuming.]
no subject
Cisco is from our world, though, yeah. [ she squints at cisco, eyes narrowed. ] Felicity and Sara are here, too, if you know them. And Ollie, but you have to know him because he and Laurel are the only people that call me Speedy.
no subject
Okay. So some breach sucked up a bunch of people from Central City and Star City and who knows where else, and now we're here with snake-people and knights?
[ Yeah, he could still use that explanation. ]
no subject
[Barry comes back, holding up his phone.]
Wynn says we can bring them back to the dungeon for the Hoard to have a look at. And I probably should explain a lot of stuff to Cisco, so if you guys want to handle that, we'll meet you back at the castle?
[They're going to take the slow way so Barry can talk. And he knows he's probably going to have to explain things to Thea later too.]
no subject
I can run them back really quick and come back to give you a lift?
[Literally. Could carry you back bridal style again, yo.]
no subject
no subject
[ He waves bye to Thea and Clark and looks expectantly at Barry. Explanation time. ]
no subject
Okay, so ... you just came through what they call the Veil. It's like this thin spot between universes that people occasionally fall through. It's pretty one way, though - once you wind up on this side, you can't go back.
no subject
Like a one-way breach. That explains why I can't open a way home. [ Despite his multiple attempts. It was frustrating and, if he's honest, scary as hell, but at least Barry's here. ]
no subject
The Veil can also mess with people's memories a little - which explains why you remember Thea, but Thea doesn't necessarily remember you. The last thing I remember is trying to stop the singularity after ... after Eddie.
[It's still hard, that Eddie had to take that way out in order to protect everyone, but he's gotten some distance from it. Doesn't mean it's easy to just spit out.]
no subject
Yeah, I think I get what you mean about the memories.
[ He frowns, chewing on his lip as he thinks. ]
Do... Do you even want me to catch you up on stuff I know but you don't? Will that mess with stuff, if we really can't go back?
no subject
At the same time, depending on how far ahead Cisco is, that could be a lot of informational overload, and he's not sure he's prepared for that either.]
Let's do it this way - if there's something I need to know, you tell me when you're ready to tell me. That way it's not ... everything all at once, and you don't feel like you have to keep secrets from me.
[Secrets have never been his and Cisco's thing, and he doesn't want that to start now.]
no subject
I wouldn't. I won't. You know that, right? I'm not gonna keep anything from you.
no subject
[The words are instant reassurance, never doubting Cisco for a second. He just knows that when he swung into the Knighthood, he spilled secrets that weren't necessarily ready to be spilled. He's just making sure Cisco knows that he has permission - whatever it is that he needs to tell Barry, Barry wants to know.]
Anyway, you, me and other people who come through the Veil, are what's referred to here as Shadowkind. And some people? Not exactly so fond of us. Mostly because that while some of us are just decent and fairly confused people, occasionally things will come through like the naga or other more dangerous creatures and they can wreak a little havoc. England is fairly neutral in terms of Shadowkind presence, but there are countries like Italy who are not friendly at all, and you need to be careful who knows you're Shadowkind and who doesn't.
no subject
One thing... If you came here straight from the singularity, then how is it that I remember you being there after that? Parallel timelines, you think?
no subject
It's ... pretty messed up, when you think about it.
[Barry tries not to.]
no subject
Yeah. So whatever reason, we're here, and we may or may not have memories missing, [ Since he can't pinpoint anything he doesn't remember. But then he wouldn't be able to anyway. ] What now? You joined a knighthood led by some Wynn guy?
no subject
[Speaking of which, they're coming up on the London Headquarters now, and Barry pats down his pockets for his key card, before letting them both inside. The lobby is well furnished, and it's less pretentious than it's larger counterpart, but still has all the Knight hallmarks.
Down to someone likely passed out on the couch from a night out in London.]
Not everything here is out to get Shadowkind. There are organizations who want to protect them from the real bad guys - slavers, hate groups, all of that. The Knights are one of those organizations. They basically do what you and I were doing back in Central City, but they work on a global scale. Wherever there are problems arising and people getting hurt - the Knights step in to try and protect who they can.
no subject
How very... noble.
no subject
The castle gives a much better impression. Let me just grab a car and we can head up.
no subject
[ He could definitely learn to like living in a castle. ]
no subject
Then let's go. I'll drive.
