// 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.

[He's glad you don't care. He's vain as fuck and the less he has to show it off the better. Thank you.]

I said it's out of the question. I don't feel like fighting against people with weird powers, and I don't feel like wasting energy and what little I can glean off having to eat.

[The complete lack of human 'souls' to absorb made things a bit irritating to manage.]

[ Do you need me to rip out some souls for you because that can be arranged. We'd be a force. ]

I didn't ask to fight you. Going that far without at least first seeing what someone here is capable of sounds unwise... particularly given the quality of your chakra.

[personal profile] hellshot 2017-02-19 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[That would be appreciated, thanks. Life force is so much easier to live off than steak and pretzels.]

...

'Chakra'. That sounds like some inner-spiritual yoga bullshit to me.

[personal profile] eyeforaneye 2017-02-19 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll assume that that's in some way meant to be insulting and ignore it for that reason.

Chakra is the combination of your physical and mental energy. We draw from that store in order to use our abilities, such as Suigetsu's.

[personal profile] hellshot 2017-02-19 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
....

[Translating that in his head, hold on.]

So what the hell is wrong with the 'quality' of my chakra. I can't use the same powers as that kid, or yours. My abilities have nothing to do with it.

I almost pitied you for having to deal with Suigetsu's incessant nonsense.

I see my error now.
eyeforaneye: ({never say goodbye})

[personal profile] eyeforaneye 2017-02-19 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Why pity me for having him around?

Also, as much as you may want to blame this on me, your weak chakra is not my fault.
hellshot: <user name=humbertsobek site=tumblr.com> ([38])

[personal profile] hellshot 2017-02-19 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Because he doesn't know how to shut up? [He's so annoying, how does this not translate.]

And yeah, it's not your fault.

Just like it's not my fault you can't open that bottle of water.

I suggest you rethink this.
hellshot: <user name=jespkii site=tumblr.com> ([55])

[personal profile] hellshot 2017-02-19 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Rethink what. A statement of fact?

Weren't we just trading off known truth here.
eyeforaneye: ({but his blood has stopped pumping})

[personal profile] eyeforaneye 2017-02-19 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)
And which of your statements was a fact?
hellshot: <user name="proverbially"> ([5])

[personal profile] hellshot 2017-02-19 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
That having one arm is making it hard for you to open your drink.

Touchy.

[ His hand raises, then, a single spark of electricity dancing over his fingers before it's concentrated in a super thin blade of pure chakra, slicing right through the top of the bottle in a single stroke that effectively decapitates it. That pesky lid rolls over the surface of the table before stopping, entirely out of the way. ]

Don't insult my teammate. If you can't deal with him, that may be a personal issue of yours.
hellshot: <user name=humbertsobek site=tumblr.com> ([38])

[personal profile] hellshot 2017-02-19 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Alright, consider him slightly impressed. But he won't say it, or even bring attention. All he does is scoff.]

And this broken machine is a personal issue of yours.

I wouldn't make a habit of it if you want to get by on this ship.

[I tire of this conversation, I'm leaving.]
eyeforaneye: ({pretending he's a teacher})

[personal profile] eyeforaneye 2017-02-19 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
So it is.

[ And, with a slightly raised voice as he goes, ] Try to stay out of quarantine.
