TEST DRIVE MEME



TEST DRIVE MEME
PREMISE PLOT ARRIVAL SETTING NAVIGATION

01. ARRIVING IN PELEA
A cold wind singing down from the white-capped mountains which hang blue-black in the distance stirs your cheek, the tall grass all around you. A bough creaks as the wind makes it tremble, and the dappled shadows drift over you, leaves rustling. As you blink awake, you hear the quiet hiss of water over stones. You are not where you once were!

You and a large group of strangers are blinking awake, pulling yourselves up off the dirt, grass, and rubble near a small wooded stream. There is no evidence of civilization in sight, and as you exchange stories you realize that you must decide what to do.

Will you head past the trees and towards the mountains? Deeper into the forest? Stay put and wait for help to arrive? You might even try to meet everyone else, and either convince them to band together... or head their separate ways.

02. CITY SLICKER
There are many cities throughout the world of Pelea, and in most player characters, the Flaws, are welcomed as curiosities. From the pastoral villages or bustling, grand cities of Shousal to the massive, sprawling bureaucratic centers of the Empire, your characters will find a wide variety of cultures and races to interact with and investigate. They could be seeking empoyment, answers to the mystery of their arrival, or a quiet place to drink away their worries.

03. WILDCARD!

[He remains oblivious to her disappointment. He does, however realize the familiar, sickly sweet scent of sin emanating from her. It's presence is not a surprise, but how potent it is is slightly jarring.

He quickly regains his composure.

In life, I spent my days wandering and taking on the sins of those that were dying or had already passed on. When I eventually died, I continued to do that.

[A slight pause as he looked her over carefully. What had she done in her lifetime?]

I no longer limit that to the already dead or dying. I offer it to the living when I can.

[ The situation seemed to be getting more annoying by the minute. She nearly groans at the explanation. "Taking on the sins" of those in life. A priest or something? It didn't really matter, in life or death. ]

What's the point of doing that? [ Humor her, really. ] So that people can die with a clear conscious?

What's a sin to one person isn't a sin to others.

[His pleasant smile faded in the wake of those questions. Skeptics were hardly new, but they were always an interesting experience.]

Not exactly. It is so that when they die, they can move on to whatever awaits them. Sometimes they cannot do that without help.

[If he still breathed, he might have let out an exasperated sigh.]

Whether they do or not doesn't matter most of the time. All actions have consequences and some of them leave their marks... You bear some of those marks as well.
