// 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.

Not a problem! It's somewhat close from where I'm at, so I'll be on the way!

[And true to her word, she arrives not a moment too soon. Readying Myrtenaster and her glpyhs, she takes aim and freezes the zombie's legs before it can move any further.]

Alright- I don't think it's going to last long, so hurry and come over!

[If Weiss ever found out just who assigned a guy like this, they are so not going to hear the end of her. But that's for another time. Right now...]

And if nothing goes as planned, I suppose we'll know by excruciating, painful detail if we're meant to die.

[God, it's taking all of her energy to not yell at him. But, she does let out a frustrated sigh.]

Look, I'd rather not hear about another casualty, so let's get going already!!

[Aaaand she's gonna make a grab for his arm and try to drag him out.]

Why?

The toothbrush and the toothpaste, you mean?

[ "they're terribly unhappy with each other", because clearly toothbrushes and toothpaste have strong feelings one way or another and are capable of conflict. of course. dutch doesn't believe it for a single second, and her eyebrows are creeping up higher and higher on her forehead.

what an odd man this is. ]
You might want to try that again. Who's "they"?

[personal profile] avicula 2017-01-28 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
So you've never used a comms device before. [ in some way, he reminds dutch of johnny — delighted in the face of technology. somehow, she doesn't think this one is as much of a tech nerd as the younger jaqobis brother, though. ] Let me guess, you've never been on a spaceship before, either.

I was guessing that much was true. Yuy Heero? Wing?

You're welcome. Anyway, After Colony. Less Latin, more literal. Kind of everyone in that future.

Did they officially maintain international space at that point? Or those colonies... the colonies are in space?

( chin resting in hand, he hums something of a note of agreement. )

I'd suggest it as someplace worth lingering. You might be surprised by what catches your attention if you slow down to take a good look.

[The sudden voice snags his attention and he faces the newcomer with wide eyes.]

The Unversed! Stay back, it's dangerous!

[Ventus chances a look back at the Unversed and something clicks. He looks from the boy to the Unversed, and then back, mouth agape.]

You... You can't see them?
cogere: (OBSERVE.)

[personal profile] cogere 2017-01-28 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
It's an interesting story, if nothing else.

I can hear you, Clary.


[ and maybe she'll begin to hear him, too, as he carelessly knocks doors open looking for her. ]

Elijah Mikaelson. [ original vampire? new orleans overlord? ] Historian.

[ his mouth quirks up into a light smile over his private joke. ]

It's a pleasure, despite the circumstances.

— SCENARIO 002 —
[ the planet doesn't look harmful, and at first kara is really just excited. it's a new planet! they get to explore! maybe there'll be someone with information on how to help them get home, or maybe they'll just find some delicious food, or at least the ingredients for chocolate pecan pie so that kara can try her hand at it, because she really, really misses chocolate pecan pie.

it doesn't take long for that excitement to turn into grim determination to keep herself and the team she's landed with safe. she's already defeated one rabbit-like create the size of a small dog that had come into their camp snarling, teeth bared. if not for the snarl, it might have been cute, and kara had tried to reason with it, to ask it to leave, to scare it away. none of it had helped, and in the end, she's kicked it away, probably breaking most if not all of its ribs. she's sorry about that.

flying high enough to oversee the camp, kara zooms in on someone looking a little ill, and a moment later lands next to them. ]
Hi. Are you all right?


— NETWORK ( id: zor-el ) —
Hi everyone! I haven't been in space in a while, this is exciting. How are you all liking space? [ kara already misses alex, and winn and james and j'onn, even mon-el. she misses national city; she misses home. but there's no use in dwelling on that, is there? and this spaceship doesn't seem so bad. it's as big a spaceship as she's ever seen, anyway. and maybe they'll get to explore cool planets? ]

I've been to the shopping center and there's so many food places there. Which one's your favourite? I need recommendations.

[ she's still smiling, but it turns a little wistful when she types out the next line, not that anyone can see her: ] Oh, and if you want to, tell me about your homes? I miss mine already.

[ any day on which they end up on an alien planet that is actively trying to kill them is not a good day as far as shiro is concerned. but at least they're together, and pidge is figuring things out. so he still has hope that they can turn this around. ]

Here. [ he holds out the bag to her a moment after she's asked, hovering in her vicinity afterwards. ] Anything else I can do to help?

Oh ... sounds like deep sea creatures back home.. Or cave fish.. [ He'd taken the time to get some reading done while he could - after the war he'd have to have more education than how to infiltrate and blow things up, after all. Even if it was minimal and self taught he'd have to know at least part of something. Even if it was something a little self taught it was better than absolutely nothing at all.

Still, he'd practically entranced by these four legged aliens - they seemed so... well, alien and new and he so badly wanted to approach but also didn't want to get stomped. ]


Yeah.. Mars, the Moon base... nothing too incredibly far out from Earth and definitely nothing like this...

Well that's kinda a lie. Mars is red like this but no aliens..
braidedwonder: (i read the words on torn down walls)

[personal profile] braidedwonder 2017-01-28 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)

His Gundam was called Wing Zero... you guys probably don't have those around but that ain't a bad thing.

The colonies are in space. There's L1 through L5... Lagrangian points, you know? Each one has a lot of citizens from certain places on Earth ... L2 is lot of Americans and Canadians.. that kind thing... L4 is Arabia and the lot..

Other than it's awesome? And my Gundam is painted black too and I'm really in to the whole look of a mech that's painted that way.... I mean I guess I didn't choose Deathscythe's paint job but black is kind of my thing...

I'm a nerd I guess, I wonder if the controls differ from my Gundam and all that kinda stuff.

[ Sure, Pino might annoy the shit out of her on a good day, but there was no way she was letting some shop keeper breathe down the little autoreiv's throat either. After all, she had yet to learn all of the fineries of human interaction just yet, and until she did there was no sense in not protecting her like one would a child. Either way, she thinks they ought to be moving along, watching Pino pick up her drawings and move around near her like a hawk.

She lets her move away for a couple of minutes... ]


Some people don't have control of themselves like people did in Romdeau, Pino.. [ Reminder: no where is near as controlling as Romdeau, Pino. ] Still, we should probably get moving. I'm done my shopping. Did you want to get some new clothes too?
