// 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.

[ extremely violent retribution as Not Cool? a foreign concept. ]

About as safe as a ventilation shaft can be.

He can't reach me.
thisisourfuture: (I heard someone scream.)

[personal profile] thisisourfuture 2017-01-27 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[He pants, looks briefly behind him and grabs for her arm.] Come on! We can cut through the corridor up ahead!

[Hinata tugs at her to come with him, and the answer isn't that far behind. Gurgling noises are accompanied by the horrific sight of what Was Mark. The stretched skin was bad enough but the odd growths are worse.]

We can't let him catch us.
thisisourfuture: (...if you say so.)

[personal profile] thisisourfuture 2017-01-27 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Had Nidai sweated? He can't tell. He'd been meaning to talk to him today. They haven't exactly had much of a chat and he'd been recovering from the Funhouse.]

I don't think spirit has much to do with any of this.

[He sets the print outs on the table for him to read as he walks into the other room.]

...how long have you been here, Nidai?
thisisourfuture: (What? Hey!)

2

[personal profile] thisisourfuture 2017-01-27 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maybe it had been dumb to be cautious. But, Hinata so far had had the lesser problems in this place. He turns at the shout and holds up his hands.]

Wait. What do you mean not here too?

[The blade is enough to keep him from stepping any closer. Key or not, it's a weapon and he knows better than to assume it's harmless.]

[personal profile] mullet 2017-01-27 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
it's like just when i think I might not dislike you as much as i think i do, you say something stupid to remind me that, no. i still dislike you the same amount.
mullet: (013)

[personal profile] mullet 2017-01-27 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
you think being eaten by other people is justifiable punishment?
mullet: (009)

[personal profile] mullet 2017-01-27 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
a bit, yeah. i'd been going to school for this, so...

[ so, he's been waiting for it. ]

alternate realities, though. that's something. what was that like?
mullet: (014)

[personal profile] mullet 2017-01-27 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
not up close, no. but i know what you mean. stars are completely different out in space.
agenda: | all by stockholm (rhysisdumb255_anabiotic)

[personal profile] agenda 2017-01-27 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
oh someone else shot him first
so he wasn't eaten alive


[ as if... that makes it better... ]

and he airlocked the guy who had his job before him
and demoted me for no reason
and tried to kill me multiple times
so yeah
seems pretty fair

[personal profile] mullet 2017-01-27 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ somewhere deep in the ship is keith, bellowing his frustration about lance.

he's so done now. not even pettiness can keep him going. ]
cargoed: (Default)

[personal profile] cargoed 2017-01-27 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
i was complimenting you why are you being rude about it!!!
IM DOING MY BEST HERE YOU COULD TRY FOR ONCE


besides i cant do this whole list FOR you that's not the point


[ spoilers: he can ]
cargoed: (Default)

1/?????

[personal profile] cargoed 2017-01-27 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ don't worry keith because over the next few hours he's going to get to receive a few, randomly separated messages.

because lance is bored what more of an explanation does he need. ]


okay but for real why don't you want a pool party?
cargoed: (Default)

[personal profile] cargoed 2017-01-27 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ and when no response happens, or maybe he just doesn't wait for long enough, lance continues. ]

do you really hate parties that much?
cargoed: (Default)

[personal profile] cargoed 2017-01-27 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
you were at that first party we threw when we found the castle

~sendak destroys everything~ adventure happens

cargoed: (Default)

[personal profile] cargoed 2017-01-27 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)

cargoed: (Default)

[personal profile] cargoed 2017-01-27 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
nah i doubt it or else youd be better at pretending to like doing
literally anything
youre kinda easy to read
cargoed: (Default)

[personal profile] cargoed 2017-01-27 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
