// TEST DRIVE MEME_
// 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. |
raven reyes // the 100
[You'd think they would've disqualified her for a planetside mission, considering the leg brace, but she'd started out pretty pleased about it. Raven's glad to be back in space after going to the ground - she's always felt like she went out of her depth when she landed. Like her skills are more useful in space. But the fact is, on Eluvio, she doesn't get to do what she used to do on the Ark either, and the whole everyday life schtick got tedious about the same time she got used to being able to shower with hot water every day, her whole wardrobe was hole-free, and the junk food stopped sitting well. Raven's an active person - tedium doesn't suit her. So she'd jumped at the mission when it had been presented, played up how familiar she is with landing unaided on possibly-dangerous planets, convinced them to overlook the brace in the face of her experience, and they'd sent her down.
Now? She's kind of regretting it. Between the ion storm, the food situation, and being back on the ground with fritzing tech again, she wishes she'd stayed on the ship with its easy shopping center and showers. If nothing else, though, she's pretty good at getting by on almost zero food, and she's working on trying to make sure all their equipment works.
So when she sees one of her teammates go down, swooning from dizziness or a hallucination or nausea or whatever else is affecting them, she's hungry but she's capable of slinging an arm around their back. Supporting their weight a little on her brace.]
Hey. Take it easy, okay?
[ii. wildcard: did someone call for a mechanic?]
[She's probably going to get in trouble for it at some point, but that's then and this is now. She'd gotten a job when she arrived here, but Raven is never satisfied unless she's doing what she wants to do - being a mechanic. Building. Fixing. Thinking through problems.
A week or two hanging out in the hangar bay, and she'd figured out the lay of the land pretty quickly. A few important facts: 1) the fleet, fighters, and other ships get repairs in the hangar; 2) the repairs are carried out by mechanical robot staff; 3) the robots break down a lot. She'd also figured out it was pretty much pointless to try to set herself up as a mechanic for every ship in the fleet when the ships all come from different worlds or galaxies and they're all different. The solution? Figure out how to fix the droids.
So she hangs out in the hangar bay, leaning neatly against the wall until she hears tell-tale cursing or noises of frustration, then makes her way over there.]
Sounds like you need your repair droid fixed. I can help you with that.
[iii. un: reyes]
hey everyone. question. were you in space before you woke up here?
iii. un: paladin
no subject
were you on a station?

[She can't help but ask, even if it's kind of dumb. She's seen this place with her own two eyes and knows they come from a lot of different places. But it's hard to shake what she knows.]
I've been on the ground for less than a year. before that it was the ark. what was your ship like?
no subject
It wasn't my ship. Isn't. It's here, actually.
[ both the castle of lions and the black lion. of the two, only the black lion could be said to be shiro's, and even that is — he's not so sure anymore, these days. ]
no subject
not yours? is it a government thing?
[Look, she has a real strong interest in ships.]
no subject
It belongs to the princess of an alien race.
no subject
yeah. well it was. there was a war, we didn't think earth was survivable. we didn't expect anyone to be alive down there when we got to the ground.
so what's the princess' ship like?
no subject
It's more of a Castle. You can see it from the Eluvio sometimes.
no subject
a castle in space? I'll have to spend more time looking out the windows. I've never seen something like that.
no subject
It's pretty big and white. You can't really miss it.
un: artsy
no subject
nice. I never really thought I'd leave it.
no subject
You lived in space before this?

He did last longer than most people who got affected, but apparently there's a whole universe of toxins an Earth vampire can't handle. He would've probably keeled over if Raven hadn't caught him, which doesn't stop him from grumbling:]
I'm fine.
[Then he glances at her and his eyes narrow in suspicion.]
Why are you purple?
[It's almost accusing.]
no subject
Fortunately, not all of them are useless. Raven considers herself pretty resilient, so when the guy topples over and then gives her nothing but a glare (she's seen worse - she shared a camp with Bellamy Blake, with John Murphy) she can't help but roll her eyes and smirk at him.]
Fine. Right, that's why you're headed face first for the ground.
[It's a gentle tease, as she starts getting him back to his feet, and she laughs a little as he asks why she's purple.]
Last time I checked, I was brown, not purple. Let me guess, you ate something with spots?
no subject
[Ugh, he knew he shouldn't touch the weird fruits but he was worried that going a couple without food will make him look at people's jagulars.]
But. I'm seeing spots -
[Natsuno tries to pull himself together, with partial success. His gaze occasionally loses focus, drifting to over Raven's head.]
Just don't eat anything. I think the doctor's been out for hours.

no subject
you do that?
[It sounds almost impossible.]
no subject
Yes, I do! Or did. We'll have a rink around here before too much longer, and then I will again. I've been in the competitive circuit for what, sixteen years?
iii. un: bell
Why?
