— Reply with a character you wish to test in the game's setting.
— Feel free to use one of the prompt below or make one of your own!
— Tag around! This is a panfandom RP, so don't hesitate to tag both castmates and non-castmates.
— Most importantly, have fun!


1/ Welcome to the world of Crystallis!
You have seen reality shatter and collapse around you, in the depths of the void you found a Crystal and now you are in the city of Aqures Ixen, surrounded by Moogles and people as lost and confused as you are. On the bright side, everyone thinks you're a hero! On the downside, they expect you to save the world. Maybe their expectations are a bit too much. Thankfully, you're not abandoned to your fate as a Moogle explains to you everything you need to know. Maybe it's time to get to know your companions in misfortune. Besides, it seems this has occurred past month already-- Maybe some people who have been here for longer than you may help.

2/ Do you like your new life?
No? Well, either way, you better get used to it, to your new powers, to your new house, to the ball of fur that follows your every steps—Who knows, maybe you'll even make some friends here. Besides, even if everyone expects you to save the world, fighting isn't the only way to do so. Maybe you could open a shop to help and properly equip your friends who are actually eager to fight. Maybe you could try and gather people who think diplomacy can stop war, you could even start your own researches on the Crystals— Or you could make sure your house is the prettiest in all of Aqures Ixen. Anything is possible.

3/ Neighborhood woes
The government of Aqures Ixen is very sorry, but it seems there are too many of you Heroes of Light. Hence why there is no free houses left in district dedicated to housing you. This may also be why you're not alone in the house that was given to you. Hopefully you're not living with a mad villain plotting to take over the world late at night, and hopefully your neighbor isn't a singer who doesn't know how to sing. On the bright side, you may have someone very cool living with you and an artist next door! It's just not likely.

4/ Crystallis de Chocobo
Upon arrival, your Moogle gave you a map of Crystallis. This world may be a bit big for you to explore, so why not go to the Chocobo Farm and ask for a Chocobo? These big birds can't fly, but they're much more efficient than horses when it comes to travelling. Maybe it's your first time riding a Chocobo; it might be a good idea to have someone with you in case something goes wrong. Or maybe the old man at the farm didn't have any Chocobos left and gave you some Chocobo Lure© so you can go and capture your own. You can find details on Chocobo Capture here.

5/ A thing called Mognet
Hopefully you weren't used to Internet and cellphones back home. Otherwise, you might be a tiny bit confused when your Moogle returns to you with a stack of letters. Or maybe someone else's Moogle is coming to you with a voice message it learnt by heart and is now going to recite to you with a lot of Kupo. That's how the "network" works here.

6/ A thing called Strike
In spite of how old-fashioned it is, Mognet is very useful and odds are that you may have become dependent on it. Hopefully not, because one local tradition seems to be Mognet Strikes. Nobody knows any more whether the Moogles have legitimate reasons to go on strike or if they are just lazy. But today, Mognet is down, and to get information you have no choice but going to the public board in the third district or in taverns.

7/ I believe I can fly~
You are on an Airship! Airships regularly depart from Aqures Ixen and stop by most major cities in the world, so they're the perfect means of transportation for you to go and explore this world. You can go anywhere in a matter of hours — One can only hope you don’t have motion sickness.

8/ Exploration
Enough expository banter. Now is the time to explore. Maybe rather than spending most of your time in Aqures Ixen, you'd rather spend it living in Balicea, or betting on Chocobo Races in Trano Golsaucia. Or maybe you'd rather go and explore some ancient ruins that may hold some precious information. With Airships and Chocobos at your disposal, you can go nearly anywhere that isn't under imperial control; unless you have a death wish of course.

9/ Random Encounter
You were minding your own business walking around, and suddenly monsters attacked you! Time to put to use the skills you've learned with your Jobs! Alternatively, maybe this encounter isn't random at all, and you have been sent on a mission to kick some imperial asses in the war confronting the Heran Empire and the Republic of Esdham. Good luck!

10/ Getting Jobs is hard
It all started when you asked Jessie to give you a new Job. What could and should have been a formality, quickly turned into a trial. All you wanted was a Job, and here you are in the wild, hunting for a Malboro Vine. Or maybe you are in some ancient and decrepit ruins looking for an artifact. Or yet again, maybe she simply asked you to assist her in her researches on the Crystals. Getting new Jobs is not easy. Consider yourself happy though, at least you don't have to do that alone.

11/ The world is subject to unrelenting pain and suffering…
This is why you should play a game. After all, there are things a lot more important than saving the world: Blitzball is one of them. Triple Triad is another. Why don't you take a break and do something different for once; anyone wanting to play Blitzball is given a special potion allowing them to breath underwater, whereas someone who wants to play Triple Triad should have no difficulties finding veterans more than happy to get rid of their low level cards.

12/ Events of the Past
Missed an event you would have liked to participate in? The Test Drive Meme is the perfect place to play this event without being restricted by the game's chronology! Maybe you would have liked to capture a Chocobo during Crystalis de Chocobo, maybe you would have liked to be lost and attacked from all sides in the creepy Magitek Research Facility. Or maybe you would have liked to regain your true power and subsequently be on your path to death, as in The Night of the Thirteen Moogles.

13/ Wild Card
Don't like the options offered here? Go crazy and choose what you want to do in this world!

Unfortunately, Val's expression grew more and more irritated. "I am a creature of wind. I cannot stand that it is not at my beck and call any longer!". As it stood... rather, laid in wait there, the intended casting now rested as more a trap than anything else.

In her frustration, and carelessness, an entirely unrelated skele-man caught flame.

"Ugh, disgusting fire!"

The next enemy to approach her companion would be caught in the wind trap protecting her at least.

"And by the way..." Her tone was much less pleasant, but by no fault Selen's, "Despite that I might only be six years old, I'm quite far from being a child."

"A strangely unfamiliar place can make one a bit frustrated."

The former General replied, playing around with the skeletons. Her eyes were rather narrowed at some point as they were starting to annoy her. Needless to say, this new attack was rather useful to her as she ends up using another elemental attack on hoard of skeletons that were rushing from her rear.

Selen chuckled briefly at the temper of the person. The girl did remind her of a certain princess, but not quite as talented.

Colour her a bit amused when she was being protected by a wind trap not soo soon after and she seemingly appreciated the help.

"Six years old is quite young, if you keep frowning like that you'll get wrinkles, sweetie."

"I most certainly will not." she scolds. "I don't age like you humans." But... she did have more important things to concern herself with as she takes a deep breath and returns her focus to the skele-men that still need bashing and breaking.

Drawing her hand through the air, then striking it downward, lightning strikes down another and another of the undead hoards harassing the General. The one with the sword, at least.

"You know what WOULD be a delight... if these creatures had a mind to know when they were outclassed."

"Sure you don't sweetie, just like all the creepy and old things that I have to face. They got some wrinkles," the female general retorted as she finished off her side of the skeletons. They were awfully easy now that she had some serious backup. Needless to say, having a cute little girl try to help is mostly a bit out of the ordinary, but she couldn't really put it past this new place to throw curveballs at her.

Selen laughs as a thank you when the girl decided to help her get rid of the rest of the skeletons that were latching themselves too close to her.

"Outclassed, and outranked. Sadly, I don't think they have mind since I'm quite sure their brains have melted off a long time ago!"

Another elemental slash and it there was the last of the skeletons.

"Yes, much like one of my own kin... ran right out of his nose it did." she scoffs. She really doesn't care for these others, whomever they are.

"Well... I suppose that was a healthy exercise of power there." she says, dusting off the blue cloak she wore, but in doing such, it revealed, briefly, what little she wore underneath. Her hand moves to flick her hair behind her, a rather glamourous effect as it billows behind her and spills over one of the mauled double-corpses.

"I suppose an introduction is in order. I'd hate to call you 'Old Lady' from herein." she teases. "Valvalis, Lady of the Wind." she says, though inside, it disappoints her that she STILL must remain on her feet.

"How cute," the former General mused as she gave the girl a brief shrug. Honestly, people were too worried about looks, though it's hard to say how old Selen is with her physical appearance looking nothing over her mid 20s.

"I still got a lot of adjusting to do. Good to know you got some exercies and thanks for the hand," she replied sheathing her long sword as she gave the girl a brief raise of brow. Well, she supposed.

"I'd watch my tongue if I were you sweetie. Age doesn't have anything on skill," she replied almost amused, "Valvalis, a pleasure. I am Selen, former General of Pheliosta. The funny gentlemen then used to call me the Dark Angel. They said I was terrifying. Can you believe that? Me?"
