TEST-DRIVE MEME

Maybe you've considered appping a new character but you're not sure how well they would adjust to the in-game scenario? Well, here's a chance to give it a try!

• Post with a character journal you'd like to voicetest or you've considered apping to Ruby City. Feel free to play them as newcomers or as if they've been here for a while - the setting is your own choice.

•Respond to other threads with new characters or with characters who are already in the game.

• Explore different interactions, find castmates, develop possible CR - anything you want, as long as you have fun!

He might. Though I should like to hear your guesses.

[He doesn't care at all about keeping his name secret, actually, so, the answer should technically be 'of course'.]

[gordianknots]

A few minutes observation of combat hardly tells me anything, and I know very well that a servant's depiction in history rarely matches the Grail's version.

[arttoenchant]

If you mean by appearance, I assure you I look just as I did in life. Not that the world would know it.

[It's hard when you didn't get your portrait painted...]

[gordianknots]

Alexander the Great was six foot nine with a red beard. I maintain my point.

[arttoenchant]

A fair point. Alright, what would you know?

[gordianknots]

Occupation in life and where you're best known.

[arttoenchant]

Writer, mainly. The English-speaking world if I must pick one.

[gordianknots]

Clothes are hardly a help, but were you mostly working within England?

[arttoenchant]

Yes, exclusively, in fact.

[gordianknots]

Working out of London?

[arttoenchant]

Naturally. I fear this is too simple a guessing game...

[gordianknots]

Lots of writers are based in London though, aren't they? Marlowe, Dickens, Doyle...

[arttoenchant]

True, perhaps you still have your work cut out for you? Shall I name my other profession?

[He laughs.]

[gordianknots]

I'm nearly having fun with this, actually.

Was Catholicism legal in your time?

[arttoenchant]

Oh, good! It was very much illegal.

[gordianknots]

Were there wars over religion that were roughly your contemporary?

[arttoenchant]

Are there not always? But, yes.

[gordianknots]

Before or after Mary's time?

[arttoenchant]

After.

[gordianknots]

Elizabeth the First?

[arttoenchant]

The very same. You have this one in the bag, then?

[If you say Bacon he will end you]

[gordianknots]

You're either Marlowe or William Shakespeare, and I lean towards the latter based on facial hair.

You're usually less ginger in portraits, regardless.

[arttoenchant]

It's an honour to be in the same category as Marlowe - which, as you say, puts me at Shakespeare. As for the portraits, terribly inaccurate, post-mortem does that.

[gordianknots]

Noted. What's your preferred form of address then?

[arttoenchant]

It matters not. 'Caster', 'Will', 'Shakespeare', anything you like, so long as it's not unflattering.
