Test Drive Meme 006

[voidtreckermods]

Welcome to our Test Drive Meme! Here is the place to see how your character might fit the setting, grab some samples and start having fun!

1. Post with your character. I’ve written out some prompts but feel free to make up your own, you have a whole train to play with!

2. Assume they have been around long enough for threads to jump right into the action!

3. Have much fun!

Happy testing!

Void Trecking

The thing about being on a train hurtling through void space is there’s not much to see. Outside the window lies an endless void of kaleidoscope colours shifting and swirling. It’s probably best not to stare at it too long. Do so and you might start to imagine order in it. Shapes, places, even figures. But your eyes shift... Back to chaos. Probably best you do something else other than stare out the window. Or convince your fellow passengers that void watching leads to headaches!

Relaxing

The newest carriage to be added to the Voidtrecker Express is a rock garden. In a glass domed carriage, flickering with the light of the void the rock garden is a peaceful and medative space, full of mosaics, a pond, fountains and small stony bridges.

It's also the closest to an outside space you have and so is likely to be used for less than peacful activities. Splash in the rivers, race around the paths. Or try and relax on a bench and read amongst the chaos.

Goblin Town

Goblins riding wolves, everyone's favourite foe. The wolves fly, obviously and the goblins fight with short spears, almost like knights on horseback if the knights were terrifying and demonic looking. They are causing trouble by harassing a small village.

Team One

Fight the goblins. A handful of weapons have been provided but mostly you need to try and outsmart the goblins. They can come from any direction, including up. Try and keep the village safe from their attacks.

Team Two

Protect the villagers, help them barricade their houses. Deal with any goblins that get through team one's defences. Some of the villagers want to help and that's alright, some of the villagers want to help and are still in single digits, that's probably less alright. Keep everyone safe!

Team Three

The thing with sieges is, some things still need to happen. People still need to eat. Babies need fed and looked after. Animals need tended. Try and help with the logistics of everything in the heart of the village, as far away from the fighting as possible.

Pick a team, go wild!

She should have realized that it was too good to last, the moment of peace. She drew her bookmark from the back of the book and put it where she had been. "Am I supposed to be terribly impressed by your claimed awareness?" she asked, dryly.

[thefiftypercent]

"Impressed? No. Flattered, more like." He allowed a slight grin. It was unfamiliar, being spoken to so casually. Where he came from, his name was spoken in hushed whispers or reverent awe. A reputation forged in blood and steel. He did not expect that from her. No, she had made it clear that she was not afraid of him, even with his size, his strength. These were unconcerning to Thanos, truthfully. His body was a tool: a powerful tool, undeniably, but a tool nonetheless. It was his mind that defined him. And an opportunity to test that mind against a worthy adversary, well. He was intrigued.

[memories_of_me]

"I hardly require flattery from the mortal," she said dryly. "And you are that, are you not?" She set the book in her bag as she spoke, as though his answer was of no concern to her.

[thefiftypercent]

"Flattery is not a requirement for any particular individual, mortal or otherwise," Thanos retorted. "Rather, it is a social convention, one I'm happy to dispense with if it is not appreciated."

Lots of beings considered themselves immortal. Thanos himself, as an Eternal, would never perish from old age as lesser beings do. Even so, death was ever present in his thoughts. It was all around him, an inevitability, his boon companion. Death was a more intimate companion than any man or woman he had ever had the pleasure of meeting, and, he suspected, would ever meet. Death was necessary for life, and so to preserve life he granted death.

"I am not a creature that can be defined by a simple binary," he replied. He was a force of nature. A prophecy. A doom.

Odd that was not the icon I recall having chosen...

[memories_of_me]

"Flattery is generally a tool one uses when they wish to endear themselves to another. I have no intention in making any connection with the mortal. Your lives are too brief. And generally those who seek to avoid identification are those who are most easily defined." She how impressed she wasn't. She was mildly amused, however.

[thefiftypercent]

Harumph.

Thanos crossed his arms and looked at Me.

"Then define me."

[memories_of_me]

"I said most easily defined, I did not say that I had the slightest care to do so. Nor do I, last I checked, take orders."
