TEST DRIVE MEME

Welcome to the outsiders test drive meme! You can use this post to tag with characters you're interested in bringing to the game or who you'd like to try out in the setting.


Please set all threads in one of three areas: the landing zone, where your character get off the shuttle upon arrival; the markets, where your character might run into any of the station's alien population; or in the residential district they'll be staying in.

φ Please give the name and canon of your character in the subject line! OCs and AUs are welcome.
φ You may use threads from this post as a log sample, so long as it has at least 5 of your comments in action tags or prose.
φ You can keep CR from this meme if both players agree to it OOCly, and so long as you keep interactions to these starting areas.
φ Apps open on 1/27; the game opens 2/2.
φ You can find more information on our setting here, and our navigation is here!

[ there are plenty of displaced thedosians about the omega market today. solona has around 100 sovereigns, but so far no one will seem to accept them. gold pieces. solid gold. she has taken a break from trying to get information out of the wrong places. ]

[ the right places are probably more out-of-the-way, she reasons. if this had been the denerim market, she would have known how better to handle it. nothing to do then but to gain her bearings a.s.a.p. in order to change that around! she wanders around for some time, noticing more and more familiarly dressed humans among the colorful assortment of aliens. at least she's not alone. ]

[ her eye catches on a confused-looking older man, and immediately she is truck with some thing. empathy? sympathy? or both. solona adjusts the weight of her weapons by rolling her shoulders and crosses the distance until she is standing close enough to talk. she tilts her head to one side, as if to peek at his face. ]

It's a lot to take in, isn't it? I feel like a dull patch of seaweed amidst a sea of colorful fish.

[ she gives him a smile. ] I'm sure this is merely a hurdle.

We shall become accustomed to all this ruckus and cleanliness in no time.

[He offers the pretty young woman a smile in return, pleased to have camaraderie even in this strange place. Malcolm moves closer to her, though keeps a respectable distance, scratching the tip of his nose as he walks.]

If you're dull seaweed, then I'm a rusty old anchor that was thrown off the ship.

[There's something about the girl that seems familiar, enough to bring him the smallest mote of ease. The smile remains on his face, finally reaching his eyes as he examines her face in kind.] I'm Malcolm Hawke. A pleasure to meet you, miss...?

[spellmight]

[ she laughs, also quite pleased to see her attempt at camaraderie succeed. ]

There is nothing old about you, Ser. Otherwise, I see nothing at all wrong with being an anchor.

Amell. [ she nods politely to him with a smile. ] Solona Amell. But most people usually shorten that to The Warden.

It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Malcolm Hawke.

[freedomsprice]

[There are two things in Solona's introduction that make his face darken slightly, despite her compliments: the surname Amell, and the title of Warden. Being from a different point in time (even if neither of them know this) means that The Warden doesn't inspire within him the awe that another Fereldan might experience, but considering how his last interaction with a Grey Warden went, he's immediately on guard. And not only that, but she shares the same family name as his wife -- a family she turned her back on in order to be with him.]

[He regains a calm, neutral expression as he looks the girl over once more. That would explain the familiarity, at least, if she's a relative of Leandra's.]

Amell? From the Kirkwall family? [His voice is light and pleasant, but now he's more than a little curious. She isn't reacting badly to his name, so maybe she's never been told the name of the apostate who stole away a Kirkwall noble. That was well before her time, after all.]

[spellmight]

[ her current occupation was never exactly her idea. if the title does not inspire awe and hero-worship for a change, she won't mind. solona can't help but notice the change in him, and wonders which of the things she'd said would set him off. her name or her job? ]

[ she stays calm, and shakes her head slowly. ]

I never knew my family, Ser Hawke. I grew up in Kinloch Hold.

[ she has never been told any thing about the amells. not even the nobles of the fereldan landsmeet had seemed to recognize it. possibly because it had already all-but died out in kirkwall years past. ]
