Comment here with your characters that you're thinking of bringing into LR, and tag around with other people to see how suitable they'd be for the game!

As a note, these threads may be used for application samples, which are opening August 11th. So get your samples ready ahead of time with this meme! However, even if all participants are accepted with those characters, these threads will not be game canon.

This meme is taking place in the setting of Darstone, so while you may leave your comment blank, I'd like to recommend you set up a scene or two in your initial comment. Some suggested settings are provided below, but make up whatever you'd like based off the setting pages!

⑴ Marketplace. There's a lot to do in the market-- not just buying goods and window shopping, but sitting down for a cup of coffee at an outdoor table, or getting a drink at a bar.

⑵ Housing. You've just gotten here and finally made it to your assigned apartment, but it turns out you have roommates, and they're one of them.

⑶ Adventuring. Whether out into the surrounding caves or taking a boat onto the lake, you're adventuring, maybe on a quest. Whoever's with you might be a member of your party-- or they might be trying to beat you to the reward.

⑷ Snow. What's snow doing in a cave? Isn't this weird? Well, Darstone is situated under a frosty mountain peak, and from time to time the local mages like to simulate the weather that's going on up above. That means there's some very light, fluffy snow falling from the cave ceiling right now.

[ She is perfectly harmless right now!

Admittedly, she is very dangerous in general, but she's obviously not bombed anything. She prowls around in the snow for a bit, even circling the tree, but she doesn't look up yet.

She does eventually plop down at the base of the tree with a disappointed whine, however. ]

[Wow, if she's making a face like she is in that icon, Darkleer is just going to stay right where he is! Part of his Archeradicator training was long hours spent being perfectly still and silent, so he can stay up in this tree for a long time.]

[ Pshaw, she is the cutest shark-toothed alien capable of becoming a semi-feral murder machine with the wrong motivation, and Darkleer surely knows it. She kicks her heels up and down, drumming them against the frozen ground and kicking up snow as she looks around.

And then she looks up.

And grins. ]

[Shit.]

[Time to do the only sensible thing and use the voidy thing to get the hell out of here!]

[ No! No confusing whatever he's doing this time!

She springs, small and wiry but with that alarming seadweller speed and strength on the land. She was going for it, quite sure that if she somehow managed to tackle an adult that it'd do no harm.

And if she didn't, that poor tree was going to suffer some severe damage. ]

[Too late! Darkleer manages to do the voidy thing and get away, although he's sure he feels her hand running through his hair as he makes his escape.]

[He reappears several yards away from the tree, in the snow, looking back to see what happened.]

[ A mess of snapped branches, thick and solid and torn clear off the trunk when she lands in it. Her fingers dig into the bark, and she makes a plaintive sound. ]

You're a glubbing cheat, you are. You know you are. I want to play in and you're nofin but a ghost.

[ She glubs to herself. ]

The quietest and fastest of ghosts, water you even doing to me? I'll chase and chase and catch air and frozen water and no more.

[Well, that just offends his highblood sensibilities! Darkleer knows the smartest thing to do is just walk away while she's distracted, but he won't tolerate being called a cheat!]

No cheat. Void.

[His voice is a low, deep rasp. He pauses, then adds.]

No play.

Glub that, yes play! Shorely you can manage that much, you won't be so dour and dull.

[ And without giving any indication that she's about to act, she tears off at him. ]

[Darkleer waits until she's very close, then steps out of the way.]

No play.
