TEST DRIVE MEME

[wearethecrystalmods]

Hello and welcome to the COSMOGRAPHIA TEST DRIVE MEME! This is a place where you can get a feel for your character(s) in the game's setting! A couple quick points before we get down to business:

☆ Please take a look at our Premise, World Information, and our FAQ to get a feel for the rules and setting. This is great if you want to see what the game is about before jumping in!

☆ Test Drive threads are certainly allowed to be used for samples for your application, should you choose to submit one!

SAMPLE SCENARIOS:

A: By whatever means, you've tumbled through a hole into a cavernous temple. Gems suspended in bubbles float about the ceiling, and a large Heartlike gem looms before you. Touching it, whether out of curiosity or frustration, will give you some basic information, but then again, there's no guarantee you're just going to walk up to a giant weird thing in the middle of a giant weird room and touch it, right? Why not take a look around and see for yourself what kind of place this is? Perhaps you'll run into someone in the same predicament as you, or perhaps you'll run into someone who can help explain why there's a weird rock now affixed to your body?

B: It's Thursday in Waverly Bay, and that can mean only one thing: the weekly Farmer's Market is here again! Stalls not only from farmers on the outskirts of town but from crafty residents with interesting homemade items to sell, and businesses looking to attract the Market's crowd are all here! Are you shopping for a good deal on vegetables for dinner? Or perhaps you're getting a feel for the residents, having recently arrived? Or, perhaps, are you an industrious gem who's looking to set up shop? Either way, you're bound to run into somebody in this bustling, busy place.

C: Uh-oh! Looks like you've run into a monster! Apparently, from what little you've heard, you can shapeshift into things and pull a weapon from your gem, and you have some sort of special power, but maybe you don't know what it is yet, or you're still not used to using it? Guess you're going to have to learn on the job. Don't leave your fellow gems hanging if you see them fighting one of these little guys either! You're going to need each other to take 'em down!

Shovel Knight | Guess His Game | Angelite

[shovelrous]

C

"...I do not wish to start something you will regret. Calm yourself, troubled beast, and let me pass."

He was nearly blown backward from the sheer force of the screech given in reply, eyes burning into his very soul as he decided it was time to book it!

Shovelless albeit tireless, and with little option other than to retreat, the armored figure is moving as fast as his legs can carry him, clanking through the underbrush with something rather nasty hot on his heels. Gem monsters... these were the accursed beasts he'd sworn to fight! He was a knight!

So why could he not make that odd blue gem embedded in his being WORK!? Was there a magic word? Did he require an artifact?

[motherofthesun]

Nasty once gem creatures like them chasing after others? Not on her watch! Well, no, she didn't wear a watch, but that was what the humans would say. No matter! If she was near, there was no way she would let someone be harmed if she could help. The flame burned from her gem, and a wheel emerged from within the embers as she leapt. She was a large wolf, but he was a small human; jumping over his head was not difficult.

And then the reflector came smashing down on the gem monster. It stumbled away, dazed and trying to recollect itself while she stood in its path and growled, tail swirling.

[shovelrous]

The great rush of white caught him by surprise, and he curled into a ball, allowing him to somersault his way to a stop while avoiding being clipped.

When he righted, he witnessed a face-off between the creeping, crawling snake creature and this wolf. As he squinted his eyes, he wasn't sure if another decided to try and take a shot at him.

Yet... no attention was upon him at the moment. Fleeing to let them handle it was entirely out of the question, but he needed some sort of weapon?

This tree branch! He hurried for it, keeping an eye on the battle as the snake decided it was payback time against the wolf, flashing fangs.

[motherofthesun]

She was aside with a twirl, and leaping back at the snake with her fangs to grab it from the back of its head. The wolf was occupied by the battle that she didn't really pay attention to the fact the tiny blue knight was back with his makeshift weapon. Considering what she's taken on before, this was nothing and she would keep going!

[shovelrous]

The snake hissed and writhed, the back of its neck seized. Coils moved quickly to work their way around the larger body. If biting was no option, than constructing the prey's ability to breathe would settle things simply enough.

Except something it hitting its bulk.

That would be said tiny blue knight, striking the body expertly with the stick. It was no sword shovel and far lighter than his signature, but he could at the very least lend his assistance to break this one free!

[motherofthesun]

She continued to bite and bit down even harder, shaking her head as the coils wrapped around. This was fine - as long as the other gem was okay.

Her eyes shot over when the knight returned brandishing a stick and using it to strike. It helped distract the serpent, but she wasn't about to slip out of its hold just yet. After all, it might just snatch him up instead. She brought the reflector around to knock it over the head.
