Fantasy AU Meme

1. Comment with your character. You can leave your comment blank or type up a prompt if you know what you want already.
2. Someone else will tag your character and roll a number between 1 and 8. This will be their role. If you haven't decided on a role yet, you can roll after they post.
3. Get creative and have fun.
1. Royalty
You are the prince or princess of a faraway kingdom. Are you a kind and generous ruler or are a royal pain? Maybe it's that time for you to think about the future and start looking for a husband or bride. Have you ever been outside the castle walls? Do you have any interest in stepping outside your cozy world at all?
2. Runaway Prince/Princess
Whatever the reason, you couldn't take living in the castle anymore! You packed up a few belongings (or maybe a few too many) and now, you are on the run! How long you've been on the run is up to you. Be careful that no one finds out who you are or they might send you back to the castle and you wouldn't want that!
3. Knight in Shining Armor
Are you in the kingdom to fight in a tournament? Maybe you are being sent away to slay the evil dragon? Whatever your purpose is, you are a noble and loyal knight sworn to serve. . . whether you like it or not.
4. Magician
You are the greatest magician in all the land! . . . Or are you? You can be a few things with this: The court magician, an evil wizard, or maybe magic is forbidden in your kingdom and you're keeping your powers a secret. And what is your power? Can you cure an illness, make love potions, blow things up, or are you dabbling in the dark arts and a master of curses?
5. Enchanted creature
Your character can be any fantastic creature-- dragon, unicorn, mermaid, Tinker Bell, or perhaps you were once a human but some horrible spell has turned you into what you are now. Beware! There are some who might want to harm you for one reason or another. . . or maybe the humans are the one who should be aware of you.
6. Questionable occupation
Gotta eat to live and you gotta steal to eat. Whatever your place in society is right now, it's not a good one. You don't have a problem breaking the law to accomplish whatever it is you want (or need) to do. You might be the pirate king that terrorizes the coastal kingdoms or a common thief stealing just to get a meal. Once the officials get their hands on you, it's to the dungeons with you!
7. Commoner
Who are you? No one special. .. or are you? Maybe you're the servant and close friend of someone at the castle. But then again, you might be someone on the outside that daydreams of what it's like in the castle. You are just a commoner and that will never change. . . or maybe destiny has something bigger in store for you.

8. Roll Again/Your Choice

You've been alright so far.

[For her part, Parker is almost completely silent, despite the rough terrain. She never snaps a twig underfoot or rustles leaves when she brushes past a shrub; it's not magic, she's just good at what she does.

She also doesn't seem worried by the other things out in the forest, though at one point she has them stand still for a minute as a spectre drifts through the forest around them. She starts moving as soon as it's gone, not stopping again until they're at the edge of a small clearing, the cabin visible in the distance.]
There.

[Eliot isn't quite as quiet as Parker. He steps on the occasional dry leaf. But he's been hunting and before. He knows how to avoid spooking any game near him. And he knows how to disguise any sounds he makes as another animal in the woods.

The brisk night air invigorates him. It feels like no time at all before they're standing at the edge of a clearing. He looks where Parker points. The cabin looks so normal, like a hunter's cabin. Not that this forest is a safe place for such a thing.]


It looks so normal. If it weren't here, of all places, I'd think it was just some hunter.

Who says it isnt? [Her expression is genuinely curious, because whatever is out here could be a hunter, it just doesn't hunt the type of prey Eliot is thinking of]
retrieverchef: shock (shock)

Because if they were after deer or other normal game, they wouldn't have built their cabin in this forest. There's safer places to find game.

Maybe they aren't hunting normal game. [she should probably learn not to straight up say the creepiest thing she can think of, but. well.]
retrieverchef: worried (Default)

[personal profile] retrieverchef 2012-07-13 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I would assume. No other reason for it to be here. It just seems odd that it looks so normal.

[Oh, well, she's glad they're apparently not talking at cross purposes.] I look normal, don't I?

[and really, they should be doing things, not talking, but Parker might just maybe possibly be a little nervous]
retrieverchef: worried (laugh)

[personal profile] retrieverchef 2012-07-13 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[The corners of Eliot's mouth twitch.]

When you're visible, you do.

I don't look like anything when I'm invisible.

[Smartass. Okay, deep breath] You might want to draw your sword now. Saves time.
retrieverchef: worried (laugh)

[He grins at her and draws his sword. She might just be the most intriguing person he's ever met.]
