Test Drive for October 2013 Apps

[highseasmods]

Welcome to your monthly Test Drive for high_seas! Here is where new players can test out their characters' voices, old players can try out new muses, and everyone can help each other get some threads for their applications! Feel free to use one of the prompts below, or come up with something on your own! Comment around, have fun, and remember that any CR formed here does not carry over to the game!

See you during the application round!

♦ So you're new to this world and have just woken up in the Town Square. How do you react? What do you do?

♦ You're lost at sea. Maybe you got separated from your crew. Or perhaps you're on an abandoned island. You need help!

♦ "Pirates off the starboard bow!" It's an enemy ship! Attack!!

♦ You and your crew are hanging out on your ship. Just another day at sea!

♦ "LAND, HO!" Hey look, a new island! How about you go explore it? Tell us what you find!

Six | Generator Rex (Because I'm weak...)

[sixthdeadliest]

[Six isn't pleased with being dragged to some other dimension and having to sail around to claim some prize to get home. Still, just because he doesn't like it doesn't mean he can't deal with it.]

[Looking about, it's obvious that his usual blades--the marvels of modern science that they are--will need to be kept in reserve. He doubts that anyone will be able to fix them once they're broken. He has some technical knowledge and the blades are very resilient, but holding them in reserve for emergencies would be the smartest route.]

[So he starts wandering around the town with a set goal in mind. First stop, weapons shop. Second stop, find out what crews would be willing to hire a former mercenary assassin. Third stop, provisions or lodging depending on if he finds a ship.]

I flipped a coin, so have a wolf!

[celestailbrush]

[You're not the only one in the weapons shop! There is a wolf there as well, browsing through the swords. They didn't have any beads or mirrors, so she had to make due with what she had.

Though she's not really seeing any she likes at the moment. Obviously they weren't designed with wolves in mind.]

For a moment I thought no one would see me. :D

[sixthdeadliest]

[A wolf. In the weapons shop.]

[This earns an eyebrow of confusion in aforementioned wolf's direction.]

Well, you are a ninja.

[celestailbrush]

[She looks back at him, unconcerned. What of it?

Really, if you're going to stare, you could at least help her pick something. She takes a large broadsword and sets it on her back experimentally before looking back at Six for his opinion.]

That I am! And I wish I could've had time to respond sooner. Argh.

[sixthdeadliest]

[...Is it just him, or is that wolf asking his opinion?]

...The balance is off.

[He looks through the selection and offers a different one. A little shorter but also a little wider.]

Try this.
