// TEST DRIVE_



Welcome to Eluvio's 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.

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, do it! If you'd like to get stuck on a remote planet with only one other person for company, do it! Take the wheel and guide your own adventure!

The most important thing is to have fun!

➣ SCENARIO 001.



Welcome to Oros! It's no vacation destination and you're in for an interesting ride. While the planet is big, there's not much to explore beyond the vast, stretching reaches of a boiling hot, red desert. Which means it's fun for the whole family!

There are hostile aliens on the planet who aren't taking kindly to you, an alien on their planet. They're stronger than you and you're out numbered. Likely out gunned, too. But, really, good luck! You'll be coming back alive.

For more information on the planet and things that may be found there, please go here and give it a read! There you can also find the missions completed in game should you need any additional prompt. Whatever you can imagine that fits with the setting itself works!

[ PLEASE NOTE: Threads taking place on Oros cannot be used as game canon, as they required prior signups to participate, but the setting is provided so that you can get an idea of just one of the kinds of events that will be in game! ]



➣ 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, there's no limit to what you can do on the TDM.

[Osomatsu salutes. he'll probably fail. but at the very least he might learn a new skill? ....we don't think so]

I'll come back here if I can't help out!
isaz: (06)

[personal profile] isaz 2017-01-27 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Still, he's willing. He gains at least one point for that. ]

I intend to go hunting. The animals here have a smaller chance of being poisonous. I will analyse their corpses for harmful compounds as well.

[ Plus points of having a non-human physiology means he won't die eating anything... so he can put himself on the line. ]

Do you have a weapon.
relieable: (Default)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-01-27 05:53 am (UTC)(link)

A weapon? [uhhhh...] That'd be a negative. Do I need one?
virtualbytes: (pic#)

[personal profile] virtualbytes 2017-01-27 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
I'm okay. [ There's a beat of silence as she grabs the other girl's hand, blinking once before adding to her statement with a quiet: ] ... probably.

And what are you talking about, Amy-san? The tetris block was right there—

[ With her free hand, she'll even point it out. ] It's gone. That's weird...
isaz: (Default)

[personal profile] isaz 2017-01-27 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, unless you can hunt with your bare hands.

[ Probably not. ]

Be sure to pick one up when we return. [ He unsheathes his sword again, though it's offered to the other this time. ] I can lend you mine, if you know how to use it.
virtualbytes: (Default)

[personal profile] virtualbytes 2017-01-27 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
It's a type of block in the game of Tetris...

[ But her explanation is soon interrupted by the fruit hitting his head, causing Nanami to gasp somewhat. ] Are you okay?
virtualbytes: (Default)

[personal profile] virtualbytes 2017-01-27 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

[ There has to be something they can do. But first... ] Where are you right now, Hinata-kun? Are you somewhere safe?
nodyinteam: (boisterous laugh)

[personal profile] nodyinteam 2017-01-27 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Nekomaru guffaws in response, catching some of the fruit in his hands and looking it over.]

Gahahaha! Nothing to worry about here... It'll take a lot more than that to take down a team manager!

At least we have some more fruit. Still don't see any of those, um, Tetris blocks though... [He thinks he remembers that game.]
partyleader: <lj user=moes> (NUfsFPB)

[personal profile] partyleader 2017-01-27 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, Nidai-kun!

[He's a familiar face in the swarm of people, and it's a surprise to see him, but it's a pleasant one. Her smile is wide and warm.]

Hmm... I'm not as good at sports as I am video games, but I wouldn't mind trying something new. [It's certainly not her expertise, but she's played plenty of sports games before, and she's fit enough to give it a shot.] What kind of sports do they have there?
partyleader: <lj user=moes> (KjVvB1G)

[personal profile] partyleader 2017-01-27 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
Nanami-san? [This time when she says their shared name, there's a tone of concerned alarm.] I-I'm... [She bites her lip. Is it bad to say that now? Will it make things worse to say this when the girl in front of her seems so obviously confused? But Nanami decides that it's better to speak the truth.] That... isn't my name. I'm Nanami, too.

[She adjusts her hold on the other girl's hand, gripping it more firmly.] There's... definitely something wrong. Come on, let's get you back. Don't worry about the tetris blocks right now, okay?
virtualbytes: (Default)

[personal profile] virtualbytes 2017-01-27 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
That's...

[ Her voice stops mid-sentence as she tries to pay attention to the words she's hearing. She says she's Nanami, too? That means that there is something wrong, there has to be. But her head aches, pounding slightly. ]

Are you sure it'll be okay? What if someone actually gets hit by one?
virtualbytes: (Default)

[personal profile] virtualbytes 2017-01-27 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
Do you... really not see them?

[ And now there's a bit of concern in Nanami's voice, and it shows in her worried expression. ]
leaderboards: (𝗉𝖻; you're an idiot)

ii | un: carolina

[personal profile] leaderboards 2017-01-27 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ carolina was warned. she was definitely warned that that one guy was one of six and yet she's still surprisingly dismayed to see another one. but she doesn't have anything better to do, judging by the blank wall of her quarters behind her in the video feed. ]

If you're bored, maybe you should look into learning something new.

[personal profile] achaser 2017-01-27 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
They-- They aren't stupid, Hamel. This is a gift, and that is stealing. [Hey, he did remember his name! He just remembered it in the middle of scolding him. That wasn't so great.

He spares anxious glances towards him, but they were ones the trilk followed. He forced himself to keep his gaze on them, chewing on his lip as one leaned to take the watch from his hand by the chain. The fact they didn't just take his whole hand was more than enough to make him happy again.

Steal the gems, Hamel, he's too busy being overjoyed at the opportunity to touch one of their heads.]

[personal profile] achaser 2017-01-27 09:04 am (UTC)(link)
[It isn't a thought that crosses Newt's mind. As far as he was concerned, he was perfectly content being alive, and the only thing that was testing that was the hard slam against the top of the case.

He throws both arms over it to keep it from falling out of his lap, freezing when he realized how dramatic that might have been. Surely leaning his head into his hand and offering a sheepish smile would dismiss it, right...? Right?]
Toothbrush, paste, that... that sort of thing.

[The toothpaste sounded like a whining Fek. His smile faltered.] ... They're terribly unhappy with each other, you see. We can't... can't just up and leave without some sort of resolution.

[personal profile] achaser 2017-01-27 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Duo's forgiven for his lack of enthusiasm, even if it weren't something he was really asking for. Another thing he probably wasn't asking for: corrections. Newt has them.]

No, these aren't the ones that would. Though I'd imagine it'd be much quicker than the others, and... crunchier... [He rises to his feet, positively brimming as one passed them by.] They're just trying to get by. The most they might get agitated about is running out of water.

[Look, Duo, he's pointing out the water sacks adorning their faces. Are you looking? He's not shutting up about it, either way.] It can last them weeks, though, I imagine. Months, even, in this weather. Perhaps we could help them construct them something longer lasting, don't you think...?

[personal profile] apartoftheirheart 2017-01-27 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cautiously, he throws a glance over his shoulder. When his gaze fails to land on any animals, he exhales heavily. A previous run in with a docile-looking animal lead to him getting a rather vicious scratch across his forearm. Easily manageable - he wasn't worried... much.

By the time Ventus slows his pace, hurried noises clamber into his ears and his heart slams against his chest. He whips around, discovering a girl was attached to the sound of rushed footsteps.

But something's wrong.

She's running, panicked as if something is at her heels. Ventus fails to see anything - no animals or humans. Thankfully she's within reach so it doesn't take long to reach her, placing firm hands on her shoulders as he struggles to pull her to a halt.

Hey, hey! It's okay, there's nothing after you!
nodyinteam: (watch my back)

[personal profile] nodyinteam 2017-01-27 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nekomaru's always pleased to see one of his tiniest and most precious classmates! Even if she doesn't play sports, she has the heart of a true team player.]

It's good that you're open-minded! Down in the training facility, there's set-ups that we can use to play a number of sports. I'm pretty sure that I can set up almost anything!

[He takes a moment to look her over, deep in thought, and then he nods.]

I can see it now. There's no doubt about it. TENNIS IT IS!
nodyinteam: (puzzled)

[personal profile] nodyinteam 2017-01-27 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[He takes some quick glances around, but he shakes his head.]

No, not a single one... [Nothing looks block-like around them. So he focuses his attention on Nanami, with a concerned frown.]

Nanami, what's wrong?
backwatertrooper: (so see sir... - suggestions)

[personal profile] backwatertrooper 2017-01-27 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pressing his lips together to smother a little grin, Cloud nods, then, reluctantly and against his better judgement, takes a look again himself and shakes his head. Does it matter what they are?]

Wouldn't get closer to ask, if I were you. We don't know how they'll react... or what they can do.

[They're not the largest creatures he's ever seen, but they look kind of sturdy, and who knows if they can do stuff like poison or throw around elemental attacks.]

They, kind of, remind me of a few things from home. But it's still... weird.

[Cloud didn't mean to say that, mostly because it just drives home the point of how far away he currently is, and the fact that this is an alien planet.]

Ventus | Kingdom Hearts

[personal profile] apartoftheirheart 2017-01-27 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
SCENARIO 2

[Ventus is always more than eager to explore new lands - this is no different. He was told to locate food, and he thinks the fruits should be okay to eat. If she were here, Aqua may have advised against it, but how would he know if they were edible he didn't try?

It takes a turn for the worse.

His limbs are stiff as lead, and his head feels very heavy. Each step is shaky and for a handful of seconds, he is unable to hear the crunch of grass beneath his feet. He stumbles for a while, feels his legs twist around one another as he steadies himself. A part of him wants to call for help, but words fail him when he's fumbling around with his hands to his head, eyes clenched shut.

When his senses clear, he looks up. A splotch of violet shadow spasms and forms on the floor, two red eyes narrowing at him threateningly. More burst from the ground and he finds himself surrounded.

Unversed.

He throws his hand back, the familiar weight of the Keyblade fills his palm as he slides into a defensive position.]

Not here too!

SCENARIO 3

[The coworker he's come to enjoy talking with has mysteriously disappeared, and Ventus wonders if they've retired or simply moved to another section. He's understandably upset, having found a friend (or he likes to think) in them, someone who provided a comfort in foreign land.

He still hasn't found Terra or Aqua yet - the worker made no claim of them either.

Ventus glances around, feels unseen eyes follow his every move. He's had enough training to detect presences, and this one feels very strong. It weighs heavily, pressing into his shoulders with each move. It feels closer, closer, closer...]

Wah-!!

[He falls out of the way of the sudden hole jabbed through the bulkhead. From the ground, his eyes trace to the source and his heart lunges into his throat.

This creature was not an Unversed, and Ventus suddenly wishes it was because at least Unversed were easy to defeat. This, however, was unfamiliar, and when he registers the tattered clothing of his coworker clinging to the monster, his panic hikes.

The noises it makes, the gurgling, bubbles in his ears, and briefly, he's too startled and afraid to move.]

Nice to meet you. T-There's a shelter where everyone's gathered.

I want to go there as soon as possible. It's just down the hall um...

[How did he get here unharmed? So mysterious. Perhaps he's strong and capable of fighting off the undead. Mai looks puzzled.]
roseribbon: (pic#10978783)

[personal profile] roseribbon 2017-01-27 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
We're here now. Are you tired at all?

I can offer you a drink as my thanks.

[It's not much, sure. Mai's just trying to be equally polite to the man who helped her.]

[ He might have frozen one or two and then shattered them, yes. ]

I can escort you.

[ As if to emphasize that, he unsheathes the sword at his waist. It's one forged out of black metal with a dragon carving on the hilt. ]

why do i have to list them? you're already aware.
