// 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.

[Yuuri shakes his head emphatically.] Oh, trust me, everyone feels overwhelmed at first. It's a lot to take in, but I'm glad you're liking it so far.

[A pause.] Wait... you just saw the sky for the first time? Where did you live before?

[personal profile] ashighasidare 2017-01-27 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that so? Everyone I spoke to seemed so well suited for this place. I worried I might have come as a hindrance to the entire crew.

[Her smile saddened a bit at that.]

I did. Not too long ago. Some very amazing people came to the Balmera we lived on and helped our people. Not only helped but bright life back to the Balmera. Because they freed us we were able to reach the surface. It's very beautiful.
dollfie: (I gave up on us so long ago)

[personal profile] dollfie 2017-01-27 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pino sticks her tongue out while the shopkeeper splutters in inarticulate rage before he retreats back to the relative safety of his shop. There's muttering about calling the authorities, but Pino couldn't care less about that.]

Haha, wow! He backed down right away! Scary, scary Re-L! [She looks pleased and comes out from behind the other woman to pick up one of her drawings. She frowns at it after a moment of consideration, tilting her head one way and the other, moving the picture along with her head movements.]

He was really mad though... [There's no question there, exactly, but it's clear she's not entirely understanding why]
yokunaru: (66)

[personal profile] yokunaru 2017-01-27 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, a lot of people on board are already used to space travel. I defintely wasn't when I first got here, though.

[His smile wavers as concern sweeps in.]

You were...freed? What happened to your people before then?
dollfie: (Default)

wow dont b rude

[personal profile] dollfie 2017-01-28 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Pino beams at Carolina, looking impressed] Wow, nice catch! [She squirms a little, not to be put down, but to position herself more comfortably and settle in.]

Pino is A-okay! Did you know there's a big thing running around? It chased Pino all over! [She throws her hands up as if to encompass 'all over' and grins.] But don't worry, I got away.

[Obviously. Unless it can crawl through the vents too....] Are you an AutoRiev too? Or, err... A robot! You don't call them AutoRievs here.
coldandyearning: That I might end up looking at you again (That you might become my girl)

/BUSTS IN HERE LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER- i mean, 2

[personal profile] coldandyearning 2017-01-28 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Well...at least they're kind of in the same boat. Better being together than being alone!]

Where are you right now? If you're near enough, I might be able to come over and help.
leaderboards: ([pb] worst fake smile ever)

[personal profile] leaderboards 2017-01-28 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Something that'll come in handy. Weapons, mechanics, self-defence, you know.

[ because oh boy if you are anything like your brother, she's already unimpressed with your skillset. ]
relieable: (Default)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-01-28 12:37 am (UTC)(link)

[he's similar in that he doesn't have impressive skills, but he has a completely different personality]

...Awww, but that stuff sounds hard.
leaderboards: ([a] why this)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[personal profile] leaderboards 2017-01-28 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ she is fully ready to let this kid down and just guide her somewhere safe when she... gets comfortable. okay. carolina takes a deep breath. this is fine. ]

What? No, I- [ does she look like a robot? ...are the robots she knew back home indistinguishable from other troops in full armour? yep. that explains it. ] Oh, this is just armour. I'm human.

In the medbay

Is that too far from you?


[Oh please no....Mai won't know what to do. She hopes Weiss can get here on time.]
mullet: (026)

[personal profile] mullet 2017-01-28 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ okay, he's going to try and be nice and not point out that there's a lot of people who make bad company. he'll just... hover around sometimes and make sure no one's taking advantage of her kindness.

he offers just the smallest of smiles in return. ]


Okay, it's not too different from normal. [ sort of?? ] Have you been to the atrium? That might feel a little more [ um ] home-like?
mullet: (034)

↠ also not here.

[personal profile] mullet 2017-01-28 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ KINDLY DIAF ]
mullet: (025)

i'm screaming 1/3

[personal profile] mullet 2017-01-28 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ oH MY GOD HE IS SO ANGRY THAT THESE MESSAGES KEEP COMING. why doesn't he just shut his communicator off? we just don't know. he does contemplate throwing it as far as he can and hope it just explodes upon impact. he doesn't, though, because he needs it to talk to people who aren't infuriating as hell. he does, however, go eat a nice dinner and do some other things before deciding to maybe think about responding. ]
mullet: (007)

[personal profile] mullet 2017-01-28 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?!

[ okay, so. still kind of annoyed. ]
mullet: (027)

[personal profile] mullet 2017-01-28 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
lose my info and don't contact me again.

YOU'RE QUESTIONING MY SANITY HOW IS THAT A COMPLIMENT?!
bitesexual: (112)

un: raknar, voice bc he's not rude

[personal profile] bitesexual 2017-01-28 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ The voice would be a giveaway if the "j.wayland" wasn't. Formalities clearly aren't important, so: ]

You already broke the first rule.

[ Of a movie reference that will probably go directly over Jace's head, which Simon realizes about half a second after he's said it. ]

Don't they have a rec center here?
frankenfran: (Better safe and shitfaced)

Fran Madaraki | Franken Fran | Warning for gore/body horror elements but I won't go into details

[personal profile] frankenfran 2017-01-28 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Scenario 002 Part A]

Hmm... [Fran hums thoughtfully, crouched down over the remains of some wolf-like creature. She pokes and prods at the body with one hand, her other making notes absently, as if the hands are moving independently of each other.

Under her breath she mutters notes and facts about the body, then suddenly stops to make a pleased noise
] This place is rich with scientific exploration, imagine what we could learn! [She's so pleased!!

She looks around, plucking the heart right from its chest cavity to examine it closer, not caring about the blood.
] Hmm... [She stands and begins wandering the camp with it in her hand, poking through supplies curiously]

Do we have a chest of ice on hand? I'd like to take this back to the ship.

[Scenario 002 Part B]

[Well they did say it was a hostile alien planet and all. There's bound to be causalities and all, and some poor soul has been apparently torn limb from limb or something, if the random arm dragging itself around camp is any indication--

Wait what?

Yep, that sure is a slender arm dragging itself around camp. It pauses and the hand writes 'come quick. Bring thread' and waits. Do you follow it??

If you do decide to follow the arm (or pick it up and carry it and let it point out the way to go, which is the quicker method honestly) you'll come across one Fran in the middle of a clearing in the jungle.

Well, what's left of Fran. Various body parts seem to be flung around the clearing, but Fran is still sitting with her upper torso propped up against a tree, her head half-hanging off, but smiling cheerfully
]

Oh, good, someone came! Did you bring the thread? I have a needle but I ran out of the thread when I was sewing my head back on!

[This is fine.]

[Scenario 003]

Well, I didn't make that one.

[Fran stands with her arms crossed over her chest, tilting her head to one side. There's a security person looking quite angry with her, a dead monster on the floor. which Fran is eyeing thoughtfully]

It looks a little too sloppy to be something of mine-- I'm still learning, you know, but this would be amateur work. Besides-- [She goes to prattle on about the creature's genetic make-up and how it's obviously something natural, and not man-made like she might do.]

Yes, I know there was that incident with the lizard-creatures before, but I really was only trying to help... I didn't know crossing them with those moth-creatures would give us fire-breathing bat-lizards that breed like rabbits! But exterminating them was a little much too, don't you think? They deserved a chance to live too. [The security officer just looks more frustrated and exasperated in the face of Fran's casual demeanor, though Fran herself seems to be getting a little upset remembering this incident.]

Hey, could you leave that thing with me though? I'd like to get a better look inside it. [The officer does not seem moved, and Fran looks around for an ally. Help?? It's for science! Or just help the officer get Fran away from the monster body.]

I will take any meal that is prepared by you, my beloved eldest.
[ please hit him?? ]
relieable: (he went to fight wars)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-01-28 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[...he's threatening you, you lunkhead! Osomatsu debates punching Karamatsu for several seconds, then decides to just lightly clock him in the back of the head, because it's no fun picking on someone so clueless]

Your head's as empty as they come, Karappo.

[and he moves to get out of the water]
leaderboards: (𝗉𝖻; gimme a break)

[personal profile] leaderboards 2017-01-28 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
It is. And it should be. [ and not everyone is a bit of a masochist but she doesn't seem to understand that. ] But here, you're leading a different life than you were wherever you came from. Why not do something meaningful?
relieable: (Default)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-01-28 06:49 am (UTC)(link)

[fortunately for her, Osomatsu is more motivated by women, so at least he's not tuning her out completely]

Meaningful... Okay, I can see your point. But I don't have any of those skills you mentioned. Where am I supposed to start?
