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 a gloriously 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] musemostwanted post in a few days before we open apps, we'll be posting some descriptions of wanted characters there. :)

"Not my name." She's cheery enough, though, pulling him to the cafe with her. "And how are you today, hmm?"

"I'm..." He pauses to think about the question, getting caught up on actual state of being before realizing she's waiting for an answer. "...good?" People are good, right? That's expected.

"Good. That's good. I've been better. I'm starving." When they come to the cafe door, she'll hold it open for him, waving him through with a overly grand gesture. "Plus I have a lot of work piling up that I have to do when I go home."

He bows again, because with formal posturing comes...formal posturing. "What kind of work?"

"Some of the little kids requested private classes, and then the parents had questions about how their kids were doing, and then I have to put together a game plan for tomorrow... It's all ridiculous. But don't mind me. How's school going for you?"

"I'm not looking forward to summer break ending." That's a lot of words all at once, so when he's done, he shoves his hands in his pockets and stares at the floor, kinda like an ostrich.

"Aw, I remember feeling like that." She laughs. "It's not all bad. Isn't there something you've a passion for?"
