ROUND ONE

[dramatispersonae]

[Have you ever wondered what stories are built of? Or where Personae truly come from? It seems the current crop don’t suit all of you, and you’d prefer a Realm where you could make your own choices and work your own fates. But you’re afraid to pay the price for it.

Using no more than three of the pieces of detritus you salvaged from Camelot’s ash-heap, today we’ll craft a Persona together, and see if you can do a better job than Beauty’s spell.

Devise a name for your Persona. Then, build them an identity to match. An idea that gives them power, a question they want to answer, and a unique ability they use to get what they want. Each of these must correspond with a piece of salvage now in your tent, but you may use the same piece more than once, if your imagination is strained. Then, write their story - one sentence from every person in your tent, no more and no less.]

[OOC: fill out the following list for your Persona and submit as a team in no later than 3 PM EST. Earlier turn-ins are preferred if possible.As soon as you have submitted, ping Mordred in chan.]

<b>Name:</b> <b>An Idea:</b> <b>(the item that goes with the idea):</b> <b>A question:</b> <b>(the item that goes with the question):</b> <b>An Ability:</b> <b>(the item that goes with the ability):</b> <b>A Story:</b>

[Carrying the parasol from the pile of salvage and looking somewhat bemused.]

Certainly, this is more like it.

Re: DISCUSS

[auralfixation]

In other words, we're just supposed to come up with a character from a story?

[carries a sword in]

We ... get to create a persona...

Re: DISCUSS

[fallinflames]

... Or create a story for a character...

Re: DISCUSS

[splittheparty]

[Well, I have a unit of Iolite soldiers with me.]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing...?

Re: DISCUSS

[auralfixation]

I don't know a lot of stories to begin with, so... coming up with our own sounds easier.

[wilderness survival gear for this guy]

. . . Is this supposed to teach us some kind of pansy life lesson?

Re: DISCUSS

[fallinflames]

Let's just see if we can make a good one. It's actually a little disturbing to do this...

Re: DISCUSS

[fallinflames]

I'm not sure yet.

Re: DISCUSS

[fallinflames]

Don't worry about it. We'll manage something by the end.

Re: DISCUSS

[splittheparty]

Well, for now let's work on creating something that can protect people. It shouldn't need to be dangerous as long as it can protect people, right?

Re: DISCUSS

[auralfixation]

[--yelps in pain and drops his bow and quiver, clutching his head]

Re: DISCUSS

[fallinflames]

Ah -- are you okay?

Re: DISCUSS

[fallinflames]

Well... it probably wouldn't be dangerous to what it was trying to protect anyway.

Re: DISCUSS

[auralfixation]

[s. shifting away from ;^;]

That hurt...

Re: DISCUSS

[splittheparty]

Well, I was just thinking... What about for the ability we have something like a shield? Something that blocks all attacks, but doesn't actually hurt anyone. Or something that makes it so people can't hurt each other around it?

Re: DISCUSS

[aristocritical]

What a clod he is to think it would!

Re: DISCUSS

[aristocritical]

Darling, your thinking is terribly banal.

Re: DISCUSS

[whereismypie]

Yeah, it's weird. What kinda theme you got in mind?

Re: DISCUSS

[splittheparty]

Is... that so?

Re: DISCUSS

[whereismypie]

[shakes head, huffing out in annoyance]

He'd be one to do that. Mister psychological torture.

Re: DISCUSS

[fallinflames]

[:(]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Were you injured before?
