// 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.

Yeah, I wish they'd go away too. It'd put everyone's minds at ease...

(motioning to the window with a glance over between oppressive silences.)

I mean how many rocks could there possibly be in the outer space? At least twenty, I reckon...

[ he has this brief look of something like caution, something like the world's vaguest revelation, something like oh, my god, i'm talking to an utter idiot. ]
thornvine: fuck 👏 your 👏 emotional 👏 bullshit ([13])

[personal profile] thornvine 2017-02-15 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ and then there's the crisis look, the one that ponders whether he should keep up with this, put up with this weird conversa --

hell no, when does sachi ever put up with anything
]

No, I meant you.

[ the usual impassive look at him, facial expression stoic, but stern. ]

I'm telling you to go away.
liquidate: is this my life? am i breathing underwater? (pic#11036335)

(with a hang of his head, suigetsu's turning in his seat and hooking an arm over the back of the chair.)

Has anything in life been that easy?
thornvine: fuck 👏 your 👏 emotional 👏 bullshit ([8])

[personal profile] thornvine 2017-02-15 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ the continued look, arms crossed over his shoulders as one of the shinsoo lights flickers, causing a ripple through the layer of faint gold dressing both sachi and suigetsu at the table. ]

It could be, if you just complied.
liquidate: i know i need to feel released, take care to tell it just as it was (pic#11036280)

[personal profile] liquidate 2017-02-15 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
(ooo pretty.)

It's kinda tiresome walking around all the time. If I can't rest here, in this communal space no one owns, then where can I rest? (a pause, before considering the lights.) These balls of chakra are cool, though, what kind of jutsu is that?
thornvine: fuck 👏 your 👏 emotional 👏 bullshit ([2])

[personal profile] thornvine 2017-02-15 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ so this is how it's going to go.

every day he spends on this ship is another day wondering why he's subjected to the things he is, and the more he gets convinced everyone on this ship is an idiot. this is it, sachi's finally died and been sent to hell, and he would rather burn in purgatory than this.
]

There's plenty of other communal spaces -- this one is already occupied. [ and a faint narrowing of his eyes as suigetsu addresses the bangs of shinsoo... ] And that isn't chakra. It's shinsoo.

[ like that means anything to you... ]
liquidate: but what is he good for if he just stays a spectator of war? (pic#11036372)

[personal profile] liquidate 2017-02-15 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhh, shinsoo.

[ a completely unsurprising response and the facial expression just continues to convey his general aura of 'why' and 'i just wanted to be left alone', which, surely, is washing off suigetsu like water off a duck's back. ]

Shinsoo is...

[ ...good question, actually... now that he thinks about it... ]

...It's like a form of energy. I guess.
liquidate: they say, what they gonna say? (pic#11036341)

[personal profile] liquidate 2017-02-16 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

(looks unimpressed..........)

Is it natured?
thornvine: fuck 👏 your 👏 emotional 👏 bullshit ([6])

[personal profile] thornvine 2017-02-26 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ this look at him like he's kind of dim, even though sachi's the one that doesn't get it. ]

Is it what?
liquidate: 'cause the dead air is what makes me whole (pic#11036300)

[personal profile] liquidate 2017-02-26 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Natured. Like, (uh...) I have water and wind-natured chakra!
thornvine: fuck 👏 your 👏 emotional 👏 bullshit ([14])

[personal profile] thornvine 2017-02-26 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ a bit of a longer stare...

and then it clicks a little, sort of -- just to a language that he understands better.
]

Oh, like hwayeomsa and jeonsulsa?

I'm not either of them.

[ either of what the nani now ]
liquidate: but you got it wrong and i'm as sane as i ever was (pic#11036286)

[personal profile] liquidate 2017-02-27 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Salsa?

...

I've never tried to control that before, does it have water in it?

(????????)
thornvine: fuck 👏 your 👏 emotional 👏 bullshit ([3])

[personal profile] thornvine 2017-02-27 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...

????????????????
]

Salsa -- what? No... "sulsa" means "user".

But shinsoo... technically means "divine water", so I su... ppose?

[ ????????????????????????????? ]
liquidate: i'ma blow all my money and don't give two shits (pic#11036347)

[personal profile] liquidate 2017-02-28 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
(..........????????????????????)

See? We have a ton in common. I am divine water!
