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

whowasfon: (what was that)

Fon Master Ion | Tales of the Abyss (Very tentative voicetest. orz)

[He does have the grace to look slightly chagrined, even considering the circumstances.]

Um, I was looking for a chocobo...

[He might have said more, but the buer have decided to attack. They both screech and dive toward him.]

[Nanami stepped in the way, bringing out her sword and dagger]

Okay, stay behind me and if I look like I'm getting hurt, heal me.
whowasfon: (fighting)

Fon Master Ion | Tales of the Abyss (Very tentative voicetest. orz)

[personal profile] whowasfon 2015-04-14 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
R-right!

[Ion nods, backing up and never taking his eyes off their enemies. He readies his staff in case healing is needed. Standing back in a fight is certainly something he's used to. At least now, he can do something to help.

Now that she's in the way, the screeching monsters attack her instead, flanking he on either side.]
nomorecowbell: (smug)

Re: Fon Master Ion | Tales of the Abyss (Very tentative voicetest. orz)

[personal profile] nomorecowbell 2015-04-18 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Nanami used her clone ability. Suddenly there was two of her to either side of the healer, both looking threatening.]

You think you're so smart? Now which one is the real me, hah!
whowasfon: (cheerful)

Fon Master Ion | Tales of the Abyss (Very tentative voicetest. orz)

[personal profile] whowasfon 2015-04-20 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Very clever.

[Ion is impressed anyway. The bat like creature is just confused. After hesitating for a few seconds, it attacks one of her at random.]
nomorecowbell: (confident)

Re: Fon Master Ion | Tales of the Abyss (Very tentative voicetest. orz)

[personal profile] nomorecowbell 2015-04-20 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course!

[Nanami is keeping both her and her clone moving, slashing at the bat-creature]

But keep that healing up! It's going to eventually figure out which one of me is taking damage.
whowasfon: (peaceful)

Fon Master Ion | Tales of the Abyss (Very tentative voicetest. orz)

[personal profile] whowasfon 2015-04-22 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Got it! Is that better?

[He casts a cure spell as the monster shrieks in pain from Nanami's strikes. She'd best finish this one off quickly though. The other one has gotten over it's initial hesitation and rejoins the fight. Now each is attacking one of the Nanamis.]
nomorecowbell: (annoyed)

Re: Fon Master Ion | Tales of the Abyss (Very tentative voicetest. orz)

[personal profile] nomorecowbell 2015-04-26 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Nanami manages to get one finished off. THis would be easier if she didn't have to both attack and keep the monsters from attacking Ion, but the healing helped. Getting hit still hurt.]

Yes, it is.

[oh, right, manners]

Thanks.
