So, having a creative-block? Do you feel that you just cannot get the initiative to RP with someone? Well, have no fear!
Here, we have many prompts that you can use as RP Playdates. There are some rules when using these, though. These rules exist due to the fact that Herald appearance (if not a full custom) depend on how they are RP-ed, so we need some insight of your Herald in order to decide how it will look.
RULES
1) You can only use each prompt once. Some prompts can be used more than once, but they will say so. If they don't say anything, then they can be used once and once only.
2) Your prompt response must be at least 500 words. That isn't much at all, maybe half a page. If you are a little short, that is okay... but if there isn't much in the prompt, we cannot count it.
3) If a prompt is for a specific age (i.e. child, teen, etc), then only use it when your Herald is IN that stage.
4) When using a prompt, quote it or somehow put it in your response in your Journal. This is so we can keep track which prompts you are using.

Standard Prompts
Stage 1 - Fallen Messenger
Prompt 1
When you come upon the scene, it is a weak and dying Herald that you find, unable even to stand. A few scattered feathers on the ground are the only remnants of the wings it once possessed. It has come to this place to die...or be saved? That, of course, is up to you.
You are alone when you find the angel. The Heralds have long gone unsaved, and though it appears to you, it does not hold much hope of living on. Near to where the two of you meet rests a grey stone slab that the angel seems desperate to reach. With your help, the Herald climbs upon it, needing something from you to save its life. What will you choose to give it? And what significance does that item hold for you? Is it a family heirloom? Something you happened to have on hand? Something you'd purchased earlier that day? A lucky charm?
You may have noticed that many details have been left off. This is because we want you to have plenty of freedom to develop the scene yourself. Consider time of day, weather, season, etc. when you post.
Prompt 2
You sit inside, protected and comfortable as the weather rages outside. The evening meal is on the table, and you're filled with an intense feeling of well-being.
Your mind veers, against your will, to the dying creature that you had come across. It certainly wouldn?t be comfortable tonight. What are you thinking? It's probably already long gone. But...what if it isn't?
What's it actually like outside? Do you go in search of the Herald? What do you bring to make it more comfortable, if so? Do you even find it?
Stage Two - Messenger Reborn
Prompt 1
Time has passed, and your Herald is becoming fond of you and beginning to show affection. You two have grown closer, but that's not the only aspect of growing.
The Herald is maturing into a young child before your eyes. No longer dying and weak and no longer sexless, it now has beautiful angel white hair and dark blue eyes of unusual depth. You may have noticed that the Herald has been scratching and touching its back for a while, and now it's finally explained. The herald's wings have started to grow in.
How do you deal with the child's discomfort? Do you have any remedies to ease it? How does he/she react? How do the wings reflect the item given?
Prompt 2
Your Herald has been acting strangely all morning, sneaking around the house, and jumping at every small noise. The cause of this behavior is discovered shortly; you find that a priceless object has been broken and it would appear that it was your Herald that broke it.
What is the object and what is its importance? How do you react to this? Do you punish them or let them off with a warning? How does your Herald react? Was it your Herald that broke the object or maybe s/he was an observer to the act?
Stage Three - Child
Prompt 1
Your Herald is now a child with a personality all her own. Except for the wings, it's almost easy to forget that she was once an angel, isn't it? Even she seems to have forgotten. But the past hasn't forgotten her...
Your Herald has been dredging up odd bits and phrases from some hidden corner of the mind.
What are the words? What do they mean, and how does this fragment of memory return?
Prompt 2
Already, your Herald has gone through many experiences. His/Her time with you has begun to shape and mold the child. Yet, there are many experiences to be had.
Your Herald has been asked to do something not yet asked of it before. S/He isn't sure how to go about the task.
What is the task? How does your Herald go about to accomplish it? Does s/he come to you for help or does s/he try to do it alone? How does your Herald react to such a difficult task?
Stage Four - Teen
Prompt 1
Now that -Name-'s a teen, it's time for a rite of passage: her first (part-time) job! (If you're curious about what sorts of businesses are in the town, or would like to suggest some, just ask.)
Does (s)he flip burgers? Wash cars? Walk around with a billboard? How does (s)he get to work, and how does (s)he get along with co-workers? Do his/her...unusual...abilities cause any problems there?
Prompt 2
-Herald Specific- RP Manager writes it specifically for your Herald
Stage Five - Adult
Prompt 1
-Herald Specific- RP Manager writes it specifically for your Herald
Prompt 2
-Herald Specific- RP Manager writes it specifically for your Herald
