May's Voicetest and Enabling Post!
Here be rules and explanatory things!~
1. Taking part is not mandatory! If you wish to test-drive a new muse, here's the place, but if you'd rather app them without testing - that's perfectly legit, too. :3
2. There are suggestions for scenarios behind the cut. You can use the RNG to roll a relationship and a situation, but you are absolutely free to come up with a scenario of your own. It's more like a friendly suggestion/bit of inspiration from out side.~
3. You may voicetest as many characters at once as you like, and testing them here doesn't make apping mandatory. It's supposed to help you get a hold on the character's voice and to help you decide whether they would fit into the setting or not.
4. Please, keep the following in mind:
a) nothing that happens in this meme is canon or has to be taken into the game. This applies to both the CR and the situation at hand - though if you like it? Talk about it and make it canon once your muse got in.~
b) taking part does not assure that your muse will get into the game.
c) it's just a meme. It's here to help and to have fun, nothing more, nothing less.
5. For the voicetesting characters only: please fill out the short form below:.
Player name: Your name/online alias
Character name: Your character's name.
Character Rank/Suit: The rank your character holds and the suit they are in.
Short description: Three to five short sentences that will give some basic information on your character. This could include their occupation (or whether they are new to the deck), mention existing relationships to characters already in the game (as long as that has been discussed with the character's muns) and maybe a few words on the character's personality. Don't link to an already written app/the character's whole history/an essay on their personality. It's just supposed to be a synopsis.
The information given here is not yet set canon, so you are perfectly free to change it for the actual app.~
6. You can also post a character that is already in the game so people can bounce their voicetesting characters off of you! Actually, this is very much welcomed. Do it! :D If you want to.
As stated above, here is a list of the relationships and scenarios you can roll out in case you don't want to come up with something else or just like randomness a lot.
Relationships
1. Acquaintances - You have seen each other around, but rarely exchanged more than a couple of words. Time to chance that!
2. Friends - What it says on the tin. Maybe you've known each other for a long time, maybe not - whichever works best.
3. Colleagues - For some reason, you two work together a lot - be it cross-suit work or inter-suit things, you keep ending up doing important stuffs together.
4. Lovers - What it says on the tin. Secret or not, just crushing or close to married, it's The Wuv between you two.
5. Exes - When No. 4 went bad. This may or may not get awkward.
6. ENEMIES - You hate each other. That's all there is to say.
7. ??? GO WILD!
Situations
1. Surprise!assignment - For some reason, your King/Queen/whoever decided you two should work together on agloriously random project. Even crackier when it's off-suit.
2. Suddnely, date. - Can be a blind date, an assignment taking a funny route or an Actual Date (or whatever else, really). Go out, have fun. Wheee.
3. Challenges! - Either that person challenged you, or you challenged that person, or you are going to challenge soon or ... whatever challenge-related scenario you want to have here.
4. Morning After - What happened last night? Where are we? I have no idea, you play it out.
5. Party, PARTY! - It's time to celebrate a thing! IDEC what thing! Maybe it's a masquerade or a fun evening at the Four Suits Pub...
6. Bad Day - For all your emo needs. One person has a bad day, the other comforts them. Or makes it worse. Or anything else.
7. ??? GO WILD.
ALSO: If you would like to be enabled into creating a new character or if you have a requested character (or character type or face or whatever) you'd like to see in the game...post them under the comment thread titled "enabling requests". :)

For me!
Sunnae Molyneux - 52 - Lawyer. While PB'd originally by Courtney Cox, I'd like her to PB'd by Natasha Richardson or Meryl Streep. While hardly a BAMF in the physical sense (though as a young woman, she was very good at Canne de Combat), Sunnae is one of the most respected lawyers on the Deck. She usually helps lower cards and a recent case of hers was transferring a Nine of Spade's property to a Four of Spade's family due to past incidents between the families. She urges her children on to become greater than herself because she cares and wants them to be successful, she notably encourages Sandy as well whom she's adopted as a daughter of sorts.
Cousins - Sunnae's children and Sandy's cousins in their late 20s to late teens. Any gender. Preferably a blonde or light brunette pb. All are talented in art. Rivalry between Sandy is not a must but it could be enjoyable.
For Meghana
Kanja Sankaran - 34 - Meghana's second oldest brother. Currently a Club, while lower ranked mentioned in canon, we can retcon. Had issues with his baby sister's breakdown and they haven't spoken much since she was 17. Somewhat of a slacker after being burnt out by their father's pushing of him to become a Jack or King of Spades. Not the nicest guy ever. PB suggestions: Marc Elliot, Naveen Andrews, and Ramesh Srivastava.
Cousins - Lower ranked Spades. Anywhere from late teens to 40s. Grudges welcomed.
For Christopher
Lacy Kahl (ex-wife) - 34 - No Romantic Request but it'd be neat if she came back. - PB Suggestion: Melanie Laurent
For the DECK
An official or unofficial Court artist for the Diamonds. Riddled with issues because apparently it's a Thing. Male or female. It does not matter. But they must have Issues.
