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 [community profile] 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???

[There's no Central City on this side of the Veil. No STAR Labs, no Star City, no Palmer Tech. What there is, however, are old news reports about a red and gold streak running through San Francisco saving people, but those all went dead a little over six months ago.

Instead, reports in London took their place, but they're less frequent. In some ways it makes sense because of Cisco searches back a little further there was a GIANT MECHANICAL DRAGON ATTACK around about Thanksgiving, so obviously this streak, whoever he is went to the city where he was needed more to keep saving the day.

Today, Barry is not saving the day. Today, he's using his speed to go pick up sushi for himself and his mentor, hopefully with no Mind Master interference this go round, when he's drawn towards the sound of trouble somewhere nearby. When he tracks it down he finds a pair of Naga, some scared civilians, and ... ]

[ 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. ]

[Okay, so this is clearly not Cora's best day. And she certainly doesn't like being in a box, again, but there's nothing she can do about it right now. The glass is enchanted against breaking and she's trying to make herself as small as possible in order to give herself as much space as she can.

It's ... not really working.

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!

[ If she squinted, if she thought about it hard enough, Caitlin could pretend they're back in their world. Back in Central City.

It isn't a STAR Labs van she's putting gas in right now, but a sensible, all-wheel drive SUV (in case they have to go off-road, the Knight in charge said). And Missouri never felt this hot; when she looks out at the road, the Florida summer heat makes the air shimmer. She's only been out of the air-conditioning for a few minutes, and already her hair is sticking to the sweat on the back of her neck.

The pump's handle jerks, the tank again full. She replaces it, grabbing the receipt for her expense report, and looks to the store. She can see Cisco through the window, carrying an armful of drinks and food to the counter. They make eye contact, and she mouths Come on before sliding back into the driver's seat.

[ Rumors of more breach— Veil openings in Florida. They were supposed to meet a team already there, to back them up on the science side of things. Thing is, this particular spot in Florida was hella far from the airport, so it was gonna be a long drive to get there. And you know what that means, sustenance was required.

Cisco sees Caitlin through the window, holding up a finger in the universal sign for just a sec before he pays for his purchases and heads back to the SUV. He shuffles things, grabbing one package with his teeth so he has a free hand to open the door, then climbs in. ]


Alright, ready to go.

[ It's automatic, the way she reaches over to help with the bags when he opens the door. This is years of working together, of friendship, and she's grateful that passing through the Veil didn't wipe this away for either of them. She's heard the stories of people becoming blank slates as they arrive, and the idea of that makes her stomach twist.

Caitlin peeks through his purchases — there's a couple things she asked for, a few things she knows he'd probably get her anyway, and the rest is his. She pulls a bottle of water out and presses it to the back of her neck.

I just need a minute. This heat, it's insane.

I know, right? [ He sips on his blue raspberry slushie, sweating himself. ] It reminds me of visiting my auntie in San Juan when I was eight. It's the humidity, more than anything, that gets you.

[ She turns the air all the way cold and all the way up, then aims the vents on her side directly at herself. It'll probably make her miserable later, when she has to get out again. ]

How do people live down here year-round? Especially when there's a hurricane just about every summer that tries to wipe out everything here.

[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.
picksthenames: (what did I miss)

[personal profile] picksthenames 2016-05-30 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Cisco just shrugs. ] How do people live in California, when their state's running out of water and overdue for the earthquake of the century? How do people live in Central City, when rogues attack every other day of the week?

How do people live anywhere?
picksthenames: (my fault)

[personal profile] picksthenames 2016-05-30 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ 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?
supertardiness: * felicity (16)

[personal profile] supertardiness 2016-05-30 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
picksthenames: (do you believe this shit)

[personal profile] picksthenames 2016-05-30 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Cisco gives Barry a Look. Magic? pls. But he'll let it slide. ]

Where did they come from?
