TEST DRIVE MEME
// TEST DRIVE_  Welcome to Eluvio's first Test Drive Meme! Whether you'd like to try out a character in the setting, get some samples for your application, or just mess around and have fun, this is the place to do it. If you're getting samples together, remember that you need at least four comments made by you in the thread for it to count. Test drive threads can be used as game canon if both parties agree and the thread fits with what's going on currently in the game. Pick any of the scenarios below or make up any of your own. This is space! There are infinite worlds and possibilities. If you'd like to thread out hijacking a ship, it might not be eligible for becoming game canon but it would still count as a sample. The most important thing is to have fun! ➣ SCENARIO 001.  It's a normal day aboard the Eluvio. Maybe you're on your way to work. Maybe you're hanging out with friends. You can even be up to nefarious misdeeds. Whatever the case, you're having a relatively uneventful day. And then you see it. From a distance, it looks like a ball of fur. Up close, it looks like a ball of fur. If you touch it, it will chitter at you. It will vibrate and purr. Where this is coming from is anyone's guess because even if you turn it over, there's nothing to see but more fur. It's pretty harmless, though. Leave it there. Take it with you. The choice is yours. As you continue about your day, you'll begin to notice more of these little furballs. On the ground. Sitting on tables. Here and there at random intervals. By the end of the day, they're fucking everywhere. Good luck! If you get overwhelmed, maybe go talk to that bald starship captain who showed up last week. He might know something about the furry invaders. ➣ SCENARIO 002.  Congratulations! You've been selected to be part of the team being sent down to the planet around which the fleet is currently orbiting. Initial scans of the surface show that oxygen is in abundance, temperatures support carbon-based life-forms, and there aren't any large quantities of poisonous gases that might pose problems. Your mission is to secure a landing site, set up a camp, and locate edible flora and fauna. Stores aboard ship are running a bit low on food and it's projected to be another three weeks before the fleet reaches a station large enough to replenish supplies. Once identified, larger parties will be sent to the surface to help hunt and gather. The good news is, scans show fruits, vegetables, and animals are plentiful. The bad news is that once your ship lands on the planet, everything goes sideways. An unexpected ion storm sweeps through the solar system, shorting out communications between the fleet and the team. It wreaks havoc with the electronics planet-side too, temporarily shorting out the smaller craft's navigational array. Until it passes, about six standard days, you're stuck down there. And the bountiful harvest isn't without its dangers. Even the most docile looking animal will attack. Sampling the fruits and vegetables will cause temporary paralysis, hallucinations, and psychosis. Inhaling pollen will bring out a person's baser instincts. The planet itself is predatory, you see. Everything on it has evolved to entice visitors from nearby systems and kill them. And the fleet's unwittingly taken the bait. ➣ SCENARIO 003.  It's been a rough day. Everything's going wrong. Machines are breaking down everywhere. The owner of your favorite business wasn't there today and the store was closed when you stopped by to pick something up. A coworker didn't show up for work, leaving you with an interested workload. And now it feels like you're being watched. It started about ten minutes ago, but whenever you turn to look, there's no one there. The feeling doesn't go away, though. No matter where you are, it feels like eyes are watching. Did you hear something? A quiet, scuffling scratching sound just for a second? Maybe you did. Maybe you didn't. But it came from the misshapen monstrosity that just punched a hole through the bulkhead right beside you. The creature makes a low, wet gargling noises and darts toward you: six to seven feet tall, vaguely humanoid, and covered in strange growths over which is stretched bubbling grayish-brown skin. Maybe you notice tatters of familiar clothing hanging off of it. Or there's enough left of its eyes to recognize the shape and color. Or maybe something about the noises it's making sound familiar. It's your missing coworker and it looks like the unfortunate soul ran afoul of that weird slimy creature the science team brought back from that jungle planet a month ago. The good news: you can kill it. The bad news: it can kill you. It's fast, it's hungry, and it reproduces at an alarming rate. A single bite can transfer the parasites in its bloodstream to you. Then you'll be just like your buddy. And that shop owner you like so much. And all of the people on Level 12. And... ➣ SCENARIO 004.  You're welcomed and encouraged to make up your own scenarios. As you can see, there will be a wide variety of the types of things your character will encounter in this game. So feel free to make your starters as horrific, sexy, lighthearted, action-packed, or slice of life as you'd like. Make up a planet, make up a location on the Eluvio, make up a ship in the fleet, fight off a zombie alien invasion, NPC Captain Picard, there's no limit to what you can do on the TDM. |
PLEASE USE OUR NEW TDM HERE!
miyuki shiba | the irregular at magic high school
[ why yes, miyuki did pick one up out of curiosity. it looks cute in a way, but not as cute as her brother! ♥ she's decided to bring it with her to work as well, but now when there are furry little things everywhere, she has no idea what to do, except… ]
I'm so sorry, but this isn't possible. Now you're just blocking the streets. I truly apologise—
[ and with that, she casts an ice spell that freezes the strange little balls of fur. now there's ice all over the street and even your foot may have been caught in the ice too? oops!? ]
➤ SCENARIO 003.
[ miyuki doesn't care about the bad news, just the good. if she can kill it, then that's fine. who cares about getting killed? not her, that's for sure. why? because she's a hundred percent certain that it will never happen.
she casts a flight spell on herself to be able to move at a quicker pace. so she flies around it, casting ice spells at the same time to freeze its legs. it doesn't work so well though as it breaks the ice (literally). miyuki needs some back up over here! ]
➤ SCENARIO 004.
[ the network feed opens with miyuki smiling at the camera, then bowing her head respectfully. ]
Good day, everyone! Being here is rather nice, but I do wish my brother was here too. Don't you miss someone from your own world? [ despite the sad news, she seems very cheerful. ] If my brother finds himself here, I'm going to hug him, and kiss him, and— [ her cheeks turn red and she starts laughing as she cups both her cheeks in embarrassment. ]
Anyway…! Who do you miss from your world? I'd really like to know all about them.
Respectfully yours, this is Miyuki Shiba.
[ she bows her head again and ends the transmission. ]

A large man bursts onto the scene in the nick of time and manages to hold back the creature's approach with his bare hands, while making a series of gutteral sounds.]
GRRRRR....RRRRRRR....AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHH!!
[Everything's as loud as possible as he shoves the creature back with all of his might. It's down for the moment, but not quite out for good.]
no subject
I hope you're not hurt, sir!
[ but that's about a good enough of a distraction for the creature as she uses up most of her psions to cast a blasting spell at it, thus blowing it hundreds of feet away. there's some destruction done... but hopefully nekomaru has let go when the spell hits the target because he'd get blown away too. :(
and hopefully he doesn't shit himself. ]
no subject
He initially growls back an answer in response.]
Ahahaha! Now that's rich! Someone like me, hurt by something as clumsy and uncoordinated as that? [And then he looks mildly impressed as the creature is sent blasting off again, like shit being flushed down a toilet. He has definitely let go of the creature by now, and he proceeds to give a proud smirk.]
Now those were some interesting abilities!
no subject
Do you think it's over and done with, sir?
no subject
It's never over until a referee calls it! Stay on your guard, kid. [He's about to start moving to be that referee, but hr pauses to address the girl once again.]
...And you can call me by my name, you know! I'd really like to introduction myself!
no subject
[ please introduce yourself, good sir! she blinks curiously at him before walking closer to where the creature is, trying to see if it'll attack again. ]
1/2
Now listen closely, because I'll only say this once. My name...
no subject
[He bellows loudly enough to make John Xena's announcer shake in his boots.]
no subject
It's— ah, [ she pauses and bows her head again, her one hand on her skirt, pulling it to the side slightly. the creature gets up and roars, but miyuki quickly clicks a few buttons on her CAD with her free hand and cast another blasting spell at it, rendering it unconscious. ]
You may call me Miyuki Shiba.

What's a robotic velociraptor to do?]
Hrgh... Raaah! Confound it all!
no subject
Oh, I'm sorry! You're stuck because of me— [ she runs where dinobot is, and casts a less powerful fire spell, melting the ice. ] Is that better?
no subject
Huh? [Well, he was almost prepared to bust out of here himself, but seeing as you're kind enough to do it... what can he do besides complain?]
P-p-perfect. [He shivers, immediately trying to shake that off.] I'm sure y-you're feeling the warmth of my gratitude...
no subject
Please feel better soon. Is there anything I can do to make up for it?
no subject
[The shivering raptor takes a couple steps forward, bracing as internal components start to transform. Literally, transforming. This guy goes from a coldblooded reptile to a much taller, but no less coldblooded, robot guy in a couple seconds.
He already gets to work on stretching a few joints.]
Hrm. Internal gyros do not seem to have frozen up. Everything seems... well.
