Test Drive for January 2014 Apps

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!

*Okay, he does look a bit young, yes, but he's 19! An adult, really!* Well, you don't want to stay on the ship so the least I can do is help you out where you need to go.

*But Adol gets the feeling that's not quite what the stranger is asking.* I knew two people who were like you. I met them on an adventure a few years ago. They both had wings, except of a lighter color. They were my friends. *In the case of Feena, he might have liked her just a tad more than as a friend.* I thought you might have been from the same people as they were.

[That is still so super young to him. And he seems really naive. Offering water and help to non-human strangers! What kind of sick world is this.

Alright that last comment sparks his interest big-time, because as far as he knows no one around here is familiar with his kind.] Both had wings-- laguz? You mean to say you've met other laguz?

I don't think I ever heard them refer to themselves like that but there's so much I didn't know about them. I know they're probably a lot older than I am and we helped each other free the ancient land of Ys from demonic control.

*It can't hurt to ask but...* Have you ever heard of anyone named Reah and Feena? Those are the two who are like you.

No, I don't know anyone by those names, personally. But it's not as though I know every laguz single in existence. [Not even touching the part about demonic control. He just came from a debacle with a couple goddesses himself, it's not like he can judge.]

They had wings. Did they have any other abilities? Could they shift? [grillin' you for info]

*Just like his friends wouldn't know every winged person in their tribe, right?*

Well...when I first met them, their powers were sealed and they just looked like people without wings. They turned out to be the ancient goddesses of Ys and statues of them, or people like them, were all people with wings. Maybe they were a different...tribe of la-guz?

[....well alrighty then. Just...a hand over his face, and a sigh. He's not getting involved with any more goddess business.]

Right. I'm not quite sure...they're the same. As the laguz from my world, at any rate. Not if they didn't describe themselves as such. [Maybe just celestial people with wings who can't shift into birds, what the hell does he know.]

You might be right. Or it's all connected in some way we don't understand. *he shrugs* Well, whenever you've had enough rest, you can take the map and the water and be free to go. Fly safely. *he tucks the crude direction finder under the water flask at the base of the mast and walks inside the cabin*

Ah, okay!

i've never heard of your guy's canon before, btw!

The Ys series is more popular in Japan BUT 7 of the 8 offical games are available in the US!

i see! quite a few games in that canon too.

4 for PSP, 1 for Vita, 1 for PS2 and 1 for Steam

ok, wasn't expecting Steam in that list. neat!

Ys Origins is Steam exclusive, but the other games might have Steam copies
