Welcome to Medietas and our first ever Test Drive Meme! As we approach the grand opening of the game on April 1st, we thought we’d kick things off with a little something that will get you all interacting in the new setting! And it’s one less sample you have to worry about on your application if you’re considering our little game here.

You all know what to do but if you don’t, just follow the instructions and HAVE FUN!

How To Play:

→ Comment with the character you’d like to test drive. Don’t forget to add their name and canon in the subject line.
→ Choose a scenario, or start your own!
→ Tag around!


Possible Scenarios:

1. New Arrival: You’ve just arrived on the island of Medietas, in the city of Aerilon via a … floating boat, with people you may or may not know? You can’t help but ponder what’s going on here, but the vessel seems to be approaching a harbor and when it docks, some lovely locals are standing in wait to greet you. After that they hand you a map and communications device and invite you to find your accommodations and explore.

2. Party, party!: On the evening of your first night in the city, a party is being thrown on Aerilon in honor of your arrival. Eat, mingle, dance, meet the other new arrivals! The locals put on quite the celebration!

3. Go Exploring!: There's plenty of places to explore, be it in your designated housing area, or on one of the adjoining community islands! Hike the mountains in Eurus. Sit on the beaches of Imber with a cocktail, or go swimming. Adventure in the forests of Mundus. Be careful though! Every area has it's dangers.

4. The Bells Are Ringing!: And that means a islands wide warning that something dangerous is approaching! But where the heck are they coming from? Nevermind that, the caretakers rally the children and the senior citizens while Scykal, Imber's local sea monster, emerges from the large body of water on the island.  Interesting.  He hasn't been spotted in a long time.  Help the locals defeat him!

5. Wild Card!: Choose your own scenario!

[ Roshanak, in this enchanted form, looks normal. A pretty young woman, with brown skin and dark eyes, long dark hair, her height a perfectly acceptable 5'6. Her clothes are flowing, colourful: a full yellow skirt, with today's jacket turquoise.

She is getting used to standing on two feet for longer periods now, but still has along her staff. ]

I haven't yet seen in the architect of this place. There are tales, but they seem to be aged enough that the truth might be hidden.

[aurify]

"Then we'd all ride." She replied and turned her head to look at the bird now resting upon her shoulder.

"And you are?" Because obviously talking birds are nothing to get excited about. She's encountered a few talking animals in her time. It's just a matter of learning if this bird is from here or from the world she originally hails from. Perhaps the bird might prove to be more useful than the natives she's already met here.

[aster_planetes]

"I find people are also creatures of habit, and we create what is familiar to us. Maybe the architects liked buildings too much to do with out, or thought that streets lend a place a certain solidity.

Even if they are floating."

Still, she brightens at the description of Sansa's home.

"Oh, but that does sound ingenious. No magic, just engineering?"

[iron_beneath_beauty]

"Two legs? This isn't your natural state?" She asked in confusion, stepping back to grant her space. Given the confusion that already existed, due to the island's nature, it shouldn't have surprised her to hear this statement. Yet she was left confused and unnerved by the admittance.

She nodded, happy to show a measure of kindness to the woman. They were all far from home. A bit of warmth would be welcomed, even by the hardest of heart.

[trueloveskid]

There's a twinge of sadness when he mentions his dad. She would like to see Neal again, she just doesn't know if it's possible even in this place. "Maybe he is. It would be nice to see him again."

[theladyofwinterfell]

Sansa nods in agreement. "Yes, engineering. Some old Stark long ago devised it since our home is so cold in winter. I think we must have all frozen half to death before that point but hundreds of years later, I'm grateful for it. It makes things so much more pleasant."

[iron_beneath_beauty]

She grinned, warmed by this news, despite the strange circumstances and the questions this raised. For a moment, she could shuffle it aside and consider her brother's happiness. He bore several sons and daughters, creating a large family, one that she did not doubt he cherished deeply. Ned had always been loving.

But that Ned seemed to have inherited Winterfell, that left her stomach knotted and pained. Brandon was the heir, why then did Ned become Lord of the North?

"Is he well? I haven't seen Ned in some time."

[aster_planetes]

"Not hardly. This is an enchantment. Oh, um, one I did myself, on the request of those who met me at the docks," she hastens to clarify. "I am a centaur, that is, from the waist up, I'm as you see me now, but from the waist down there joins the body like that of a horse."

And a most pretty horse at that, if she can be forgiven a moment of vanity.

"But our hosts have been kind, so far, so I am obliging them. It is just somewhat tiring to remember how much smaller I am now."

Roshanak looks up at Lyanna, and tilts her head a fraction.

"I've startled you, lady."

Iron Bull | Dragon Age: Inquisition | Arrival

[getsyourbloodgoing]

There is no missing the humanoid stepping off the ship. His size alone makes him noticeable in the way that he towers over everyone else and is easily double their size. He's a hulking 'beast' with the build of a warrior and some very impressive horns. Yes, horns.

The Iron Bull pauses as he looks around, his features composed in a bit of a scowl as he tries to figure out what the fuck is going on. The last thing he remembers is passing out in his room after spending the night drinking with the Chargers. He certainly doesn't remember getting onto a ship and certainly not one that can fly. That is definitely not something he signed up for.

He's about to move on, to do a bit of exploring, but suddenly someone is thrusting a weird looking device and a map into his massive hands. He watches the slip of a woman disappear into the crowd then and he sighs. Clearly she isn't waiting around to answer any questions for him.

Fine, he'll find someone else to answer them.

[goldenera]

Henry frowned a little. "What's wrong?" Why would mentioning his father bring sadness to his mother? "What do you mean again? Have I missed something?" He was suddenly worried now. Was this the start of bad things happening to split up his parents? It wouldn't be fair. Especially not to Nicola.

[iron_beneath_beauty]

She had seen Bran not long before and had heard that Ned had two daughters. In seeing the beautiful red head, Lyanna would never have believed she was his child. She bore features that Lyanna did not recognize, perhaps gifted by her mother. Whoever she was, she was a beauty.

"Sansa of House Stark. I am pleased to meet you. I am Lyanna, of House Stark."

[aster_planetes]

"That is marvellous," Roshanak says. "I have little head for engineering myself, although I have tried, so I have nothing but admiration for those who can invent and perfect such things.

Particularly something that has lasted so long as that."

[theladyofwinterfell]

"Lyanna? Lyanna, my aunt?" Sansa has so little family now and Lyanna had been thought to be dead long before Sansa was even born. Her father never spoke of her, except to say that Arya favored her, and Sansa now knows it to be true.

"I thought...but you were..."

[summerswarg]

"When last I saw him, he was. Before I arrived here, it was the day before we were heading to King's Landing. Father has been named Hand of the King."

He looks so proud of his father's achievement and happy to be heading to King's Landing. Though, after what the Queen's brother had done, maybe he shouldn't be going. And meeting his dead aunt wasn't dissuading him to the fact he was also dead from his fall.

[trickshaveaprice]

The bird bows it's beak in a show of respect. "You may call me Malcolm.I am a Trickster. A shape changer who guides heroes and villains on needed quests. By no means an important player in the tales of the Author but I could be of some use perhaps."

[guessihavelostcount]

She has to hold her drink tightly onto her drink to make sure that it doesn't end up spilled down the front of his pants but she manages to avoid even a little spill before looking up at him. "Clearly."

What, it was.

"But it's fine." She continues on before he can really say anything, shrugging a bit as she moves like she is going to step past him. "It's crowded in here, so I guess it can't be avoided."

Jon Snow | ASOIAF | Prompt 4 | Canon point is end of ASOS

[starkbastard]

He knew very little about this world, about this island and its residents, but Jon Snow was not about to abandon innocent people to whatever was attacking the city. As he rushed passed the running crowd, helping up those who had stumbled down, his grey eyes searched the horizon for the threat that made the bells ring.

Once he was clear of the crowd, Jon drew Longclaw from the scabbard on his back. He couldn't help it and gasp when he caught sight of the giant serpent-like creature in the lake. When he was just a boy, Old Nan would often speak of dragons, but never in his life the bastard would have thought to meet a creature akin to the Targaryen's pets. His sword felt heavier in his burnt hand he gritted his teeth, trying to see how he could help defend the land.

Luckily for him, one of the local called out for archers, and while his aim was not extraordinary, he sheathed his sword and grabbed a bow and a quiver full of arrows, notching one and drawing it back without a second thought. Aiming for the monster's eyes, he let the arrow fly, hoping to hit his mark.

[its_never_bothered_me]

The firework was so unexpected that it quickly drew Elsa's attention aware from the man and up towards the little explosion in the air. Then she was blinking, remembering, and turning around to look for the source. Spotting Emma almost immediately, she hesitated before giving up on her task so she could move towards the blonde.

"Emma." She reached out her cold hands, offering a small smile to show the relief and joy she felt at seeing her friend but she was still obviously concerned about their predicament. "You're here."

Then she frowned. "Wait, why are you here? Did you arrive the same way?"

[aurify]

[He was treated to a hard look but given he'd stopped himself before he'd plowed into her and apologized, she could be at least be civil in return. It was obvious he was just as much a victim as she was. Thus there really was no sense in taking her frustrations out on him.]

Indeed. Not your first kidnapping I take it?

[That was a guess, but give the tone of the statement, she thought it a rather good guess.]

[masked_stag]

[James couldn't help but watch her. It had been a long time since he'd seen her and he wondered if she'd hate him for what he'd done in her absence. He'd done some quick calculations and he was probably in his fourth year of borrowed time. Voldemort had killed them both at only twenty-one years old. And James must be pushing twenty-five by now.

How much of that time had he been with his wife? Probably less than a year. So he didn't automatically go up to her when he finally did notice her at the party. He worried he'd changed too much. She'd taken time to love him. Maybe time passing would change her opinion of him again.

But then she noticed him and he couldn't help but give her the smile that was only reserved for her. He nodded slowly at her question and eventually answered in a few words.]

I saw magic at work the day I met you. The day I married you. And...today.

[its_never_bothered_me]

Elsa opens her mouth to say something, to tell Anna to wait until she gets some answers, but her sister has always been good at distracting her. Or, well, she is getting better at it now that Elsa allows her close enough to try. Pressing her lips together as Anna catches her arm and tugs her away, she sighs in regret at the passed opportunity.

"Anna." She looks at her sister. "You should have let me talked to him. We need to get back home."

[darkestbeliever]

Nope. And it seems all the kidnappers either have a way of removing what power I have, or have a greater power hidden up their sleeves. It's rather irritating, if you must know.

[The Darkness was feeding off his irritation and he had to breath to keep control of it. With all the kidnappings, it was almost not worth what he'd done to stay with his wife and son. They weren't here.]

[nott_caine]

"Don't listen to the voices," Selene said, spying her sister among the crowd. She didn't need to ask who she was speaking to. Years together had helped her understand her sister's madness, even if she couldn't fully understand Artemis herself. They were never as close as Selene was to Diana, but it didn't change that she was happy to see Artemis.

Holding back from embracing her, Selene smiled instead, hoping that her sister had enough of her senses to recognize her. "It'll be okay."

Re: Jon Snow | ASOIAF | Prompt 4 | Canon point is end of ASOS

[theladyofwinterfell]

Sansa knows enough of this place to keep her distance from things that endanger her but she gets caught unaware this day, not knowing what the bells meant, and shrinks behind one of the archers to get cover. It is only after she's used his body as her protection that she realizes who it is and her heart is glad even if they are in danger.

"Jon! Jon, it's me. It's Sansa!"

[theladyofwinterfell]

"I wish I could recreate it. Sadly, I can only describe it and I am certain I do not do it any justice."

Sansa tips her head up and appraises the skyline, the way the buildings are formed here and the way the islands float. "Do you think we might learn the mysteries of this place someday?"
