July's Voicetest and Enabling Post [a twofer!]
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". :) OR if you just want to see them put in a![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
musemostwanted post in a few days before we open apps, we'll be posting some descriptions of wanted characters there. :)

Melly: Enabling post for Andrea because this got worringly long. :T ETA: QUEEN OF THE TL;DR!
- Any Cruz! It would be nice to have some family members. Well for me at least. The branch (http://www.familyecho.com/?p=TR09E&c=pzl73ssm2b&f=622244304248039521#view:Q9RZB) she's from would be wonderful but it can be from the other three branches that exists. The PB and bits of bio for Andrea's family is there but it's completely up for change for any prospective players. Anyone out of the family is a wildcard (geddit? geddit?) so any PB, personality, history is a go.
- Anyone interested can read up on this (http://houseofcrack-rp.livejournal.com/209275.html?thread=5912187#t5912187) to get a general idea what the family is like. For those who can't go through four pages worth of words, a TL;DR: The Cruz is a Spades family that settled into the Deck a 100 years ago and made a name for themselves through shady deals, playing the politics of the Deck Court and not being a afraid to backstab (figuratively and literally) others or even each other. They're a secretive, sneaky family and are not afraid to do dirtier things to get what they want. They're currently in a tense situation among each other since there isn't really a clear successor for Head, my character is the technical heiress for the position but doesn't truly qualify for it due to stipulations, and want themselves or their children to be on top.
- Her mother, Dao-Ming, Seven of Spades. Dao-Ming's PB is Joan Chen but this is up for change for any prospective players if they wish to use another PB.
- A quick brief of Dao-Ming: Originally a nice Club, Dao-Ming fell in love with Shing K. Cruz and married him. She toughened and sharpened up to keep up with the then environment of the Spades to the point she willingly rallied behind King Sean and Meade, until they both fell of course. A stern, icy woman thanks to her years in the Suit and hates being seen as weak. Has a tense relationship with Andrea due to bad blood that occurred in the past (and recently.). Is currently the Head of the Cruz since Shing's death and is having trouble holding the position as of late, struggling to keep hold of the family. Will give more detail to any interested players if they want and because this got long already. Willing to also change her personality and history with the cooperation of the player if they wish to do so~
- Frederick Stewart-Jarrett (name is up for changing, just needed to put a name on the idea I had), Any Rank from Any Suit. PB is but can be changed by the player if they wish to do so~
- A quick brief of Frederick: Originally raised in the Spades and from a family that consisted mostly of low ranked Cards, Frederick was soon assigned to become a servant for the Cruz staff, specifically Andrea's. He and Andrea struck a friendship and were thick as thieves. But then he created the Valentine's Incident and not only made Andrea break off her friendship with him out of fear but have him eventually transferred to another Suit by the pressuring of the Cruz who were enraged by what he had done. Whatever happened to him next after these events, and what he's like now, is up to the player and willing to give more detailed information about him and his then-relationship with Andrea if they wish to have more idea on what to do~
