Welcome to the Underground test drive meme! This is where you can try out the AU version of your character, start some potential CR and get a feel for the world of the game. Choose your character's species, read up on the available factions and you're ready to go. Put your character's name in your subject line when you post, tag out, and have fun!

Note to potential players: Looking for an OOC space to brainstorm your AU? Head over to our permanent character workshop post to ask for feedback and share ideas.

Note to current players: Activity in this meme counts as game canon! So you can use it for activity check. If you end up playing anything that you can't or don't want to use as game canon, it's fine to ignore it. (In that case you shouldn't submit it for activity check.)

Here are some prompts to inspire you:

1) WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE. Welcome to London! It's time to introduce yourself to your faction, to your fellow supernatural citizens, would-be friends, potential enemies... Will people quake with fear or awe when you enter the room? Or are you some nobody trying to make a name for yourself? Either way, gotta start networking.

2) THE RACE IS ON. The competition within your faction is even worse than the competition outside. That guy over there has turned sucking up to your boss into an art form. What about the woman who works out at 5am every morning and can probably punch through a wall? If you want to climb the ladder, you'd better start working harder.

3) THE WRONG DIRECTION. It's a big city and it's easy to get lost. Normally that's not such a big deal, but this time you've taken a wrong turn and ended up in hostile territory. If you're spotted by the wrong person, you could be in for a seriously bad time. Is there anyone around who can help?

4) NEVER LOSE CONTROL. You had one drink... or two... Maybe it's almost the full moon, or maybe there's some magic in the air messing with your hormones, but you're this close to going all out with your fangs or your claws or your magic. You need to get out of here, fast.

5) SWING IT, SHAKE IT. You've got a disco ball, a killer outfit and music so loud you can feel it pumping through the dance floor. Show the humans how it's done.

6) KARAOKE. It's karaoke night in one of London's favourite supernatural bars and that tone-deaf werewolf is hogging the mike again.

7) RUN AROUND. It seemed simple, right? One errand to run, just one. And yet the world seems to be conspiring against you. Your alarm didn't go off, you missed the bus or train, you got caught in traffic, someone spilled their drink on your brand new leather jacket, you tripped over and literally fell headfirst into a dumpster... Oh, God. Could this day get any worse?

8) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Anything goes.

1. Who Do You Think You Are?
Artemis Fowl was, for all those looking at him, a perfectly normal young boy. If perhaps extremely well dressed, and a touch too pale for most people's liking. He was Irish, over in London thanks to his Mother and Father thinking it would be a good move after his... going missing. If he could be stolen away from their private estates in Ireland, then the heart of London held less danger. They didn't know the truth, of course, and he had no plans of telling them, even if they would be less inclined to totally dismiss the idea. Then again, how did one explain to one's parents that you have been stolen by the Fae for nearly two years?

They didn't know of the thriving supernatural underground community in London. Father was trying to avoid all types of underground communities at any rate, so it was up to Artemis to cover that part of the family business. He stood outside the building. It looked so non-descript. Of course it would. No point in advertising to the humans, after all.

"Pardon me," he said, stepping forward with a tight-lipped smile that suggested it should not be made to become more than it was, "would you be able to tell me the location of the Night Council? I have... business with them."


7. Run Around
He was lost. He blamed Butler for this. It had been his idea to try public transport, on the pretense that London was really far too busy for the limo. Artemis suspected that Butler had just wanted to sight-see without making it too obvious. Or that he wanted Artemis to sight-see, which was ludicrous. Why would he need to play tourist.

Still... his phone was annoyingly lacking in signal, which meant he could neither track his own location or call for help. There was the one option, playing to his youth and gaining help that way.

The scowl on his face would probably make that one quite impossible.


8. Choose Your Own Adventure
Artemis can be found in the finer areas of London. Cafes, museums, the theatre... He's always well dressed, and generally seems to be very aware of what is going on around him.
