TEST DRIVE MEME
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!

Fatima | Luminous Arc 2 | Garnet
[ This is all still very strange for Fatima. She's used to the garnet around her neck holding all her power and her life force, but now that it's useless, and the garnet embedded in her chest just under her collarbone holds it all instead, it's strange to think that same gem is no longer her source of power. It's not so different, but it's just different enough to make her skin crawl, especially when she tries to use her powers.
Just her luck that a monster appears, followed by another and another. While they aren't the same as the Beast Fiends, thank God, they still look strong enough to serve as a good experiment. If her powers are now weaker, she'll have to make due by regaining her strength the old fashioned way. ]
Don't take me so lightly! [ Fatima summons her whip, and before the monsters can advance any further, she's cracking the icy tongue of the whip into them to snap off legs and strike their faces. It stalls them enough to let her cast a Dark Pierce spell on each one, sending purplish chunks of ice spearing into them. ]

What he was less happy about was the loss of his powers... for the second time. It was bad enough after falling from Tyranthood back to the ground floor, but now after ending up in another world that he had to start over again after all that hard work? To say it was frustrating was an understatement. He was going to need many, many more sardines to catch back up... but in the meantime, he'd opt to test out what his new "power" was capable of. So he went out looking for a fight.
As luck would have it, it wasn't hard to find one... and what looked like a fellow newcomer was facing a bunch of monsters. Well, what better way to start anew than practice and perhaps meet a new comrade?
He hesitantly reached into the shining onyx in his chest to produce a broadsword as black as night. ...It was strange, but it would do the job. They may have robbed him of his Mana powers again, but they couldn't take away over two millennia of swordsmanship from his mind.
He charged at one of the monsters, slashing at it viciously and without mercy. The blade rent the foe asunder, but not without a bit of effort on his part.]
I'll keep them off of you, hit them with everything you've got!
no subject
Right!
[ Hit them with everything she has? She can do that. That was the plan all along, and now that he's here, it's a bit easier for sure. She volleys spell after spell after spell of Dark Pierce at them, only stopping when the target creature of the moment drops dead or retreats. ]

He felt sluggish, his muscles feeling an odd bit of pull and strain. It was far from being an injury, but it had been so long that simple swordplay been anything remotely taxing. Without his Mana power, his unnatural speed, and unnatural strength, he felt like he was moving with the economy of a sloth, even if he could match a skilled human warrior like this.]
You have chosen the wrong targets for your meals, pitiful wretches! Slink back off to your dens like the pathetic beasts you are before more of your number meets their end!
[They might not listen to his boasting, but it was... maybe partly to keep his own morale up. And it didn't stop him from taking another swing... and another, and another, at anything who dared draw near him or his comrade.]
