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. :)

At least she didn't have children, Johnny.
no subject
Seriously, fuck his life.
This requires a long, cold swallow of beer.
"Guess it worked though," he says, after setting the bottle down. "I mean...you're here, aren't you? That's pretty impressive."
More than the usual, even. Since this place didn't even properly exist.
no subject
"I didn't really know what I'd found at first," she tells him. "It looks like any other town, except for the Castles."
no subject
Then a grin.
"Guess we should be glad they don't talk in Ye Olde English, huh?"
no subject
no subject
"Not into playing princess then, I guess."
no subject
no subject
You know, besides the woman sitting across from him.
no subject
"Or the part where I tell you I grew up into a smart, practical type of girl, the kind that wants to be a doctor but knows her parents can't afford that much school, so majors in nursing instead?"
no subject
But mentally waves that off and continues, "so what kind of doctor did you want to be?"
no subject
And being a bit of a bad boy never hurt when it came to sixteen year old girls.
"Oh," she says after a moment. "Family practice. Which is what I ended up doing as a nurse, anyway."
no subject
Pause.
"Which Suit?"
no subject
She grins a little as she leans her elbow on the table.
"Hearts," she says. "Two, but they were going to check with someone named Ceiro Ryan about making me a Three because of 'experience.'"
no subject
And then he's laughing. "Ceiro's the King of Hearts. You'd better be careful, because we're like this," and he held out his crossed fingers for her to see.
no subject
Innocent blinking.
no subject
Amused grinning.
