— 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'd like to celebrate the Christmas of Crystallis. Yet again, 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. Or how about participating in Christmas at Crystallis or fighting in a war for the warriors among you?

13/ Wild Card

Her eyes lazily look at his muscles before shaking her head slowly. She doesn't like people who are just hanging around for show.

Zoroko placed a hand on her sword with the intention of removing him from her path. "Get out of my way." She felt weaker, she noticed that the moment she woke up in this place but she wasn't going to let that stop her. She would continue to train until she was the best.

Gaston notes the hand on her sword, but immediately dismisses the idea that she's proficient with them at all. It doesn't even matter that his own skills with a rifle have been replaced with skill with a spear, and he's busy not thinking about the fact that those skills are novice ones as well. He's a man. She's a woman. That's about as far as his mind goes.

"No need to be in such a hurry. We're here in a new land. This place could be crawling with monsters and ruffians. A pretty lady like you could do with someone watching out for her."

Her intense glare settled on his unmoving form as her fingers wrapped around the hilt of her blade. She wasn’t going to have anything to do with some chauvinistic pig and she was aiming to teach him a lesson. Her sword quickly flicked from her sheath its hilt slamming into the large man’s stomach. Zoroko was weaker than before but her punches were still strong. She didn’t kill him though she wouldn’t mind cutting off other body parts.

“I can watch out for myself.” Her voice dripped with venom.

Fortunately the transition to this world had done a number on Gaston's own strength as well. He was still musclebound and strong, but his senses weren't as keen as they had been. Of course, considering he was underestimating Zoroko so badly he would have been caught off guard anyway.

"OOOF!" He doubled over as the wind was knocked out of him, but even as he was moved out of the swordswoman's way he was looking up again with a grin on his face, "You have spunk. I like that in a lady!"

"Try and stop me again and you will find out what I can do." Her voice wasn't nice as she stepped past him.

It was certainly not how she wanted to meet someone but then she didn't really care what he might think. She only hoped her bounty hadn't followed her here. She didn't want to have to deal with more people like that.

Gaston straightened up and adjusted his tunic, "I'm not trying to stop you from going anywhere. This place just has danger lurking around every corner. It's the job of a hero and a gentleman like myself to provide an escort."

He moved to slip a hand over her shoulder and lay his hand on the one further from him. All in the handbook of seduction with his exemplary muscles.

Zoroko didn't stop walking even as he followed her, seemingly unphased by her earlier warning. Was there really no way to get rid of this one? She grabbed his wrist pushing on the pressure point to make him release her.

"You can follow me if you want but don't touch me." There was a warning once more in her voice though little did Gaston know; Zoroko has no sense of direction and she wasn't good at listening to others.
