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!

Double Trouble was always unapologetic about being who they are so the glances around the train didn’t mean much, but it was nice to find someone who didn’t stare or seem put off by their appearance. The fact that this one even smiled at them was even a good sign. Double Trouble had no nefarious plans at present, but it was easier to make allies when they didn’t judge you very harshly on your looks.

“What do they think is so special about it? If it’s not interesting why don’t you do something more fun?”

They stopped before Loki, crossing their arms – they weren’t quite sure if they were going to sit or not.

Loki has seen far stranger beings than Double Trouble in his time traveling his own universe, and while they look like a being that many Asgardians would consider sticking a sword in, Loki's own true form was one that most Asgardians would definitely stick a sword in, so he's not overly judgmental.

"Humans consider it a story full of magic and wonders," he replies, wrinkling his brow slightly. "I, however, find it nonsensical and yet rather limited. Whoever wrote it clearly had no true knowledge of magic. But apparently it impressed the mortals enough that its impact has lasted for over a century and become a cornerstone of their culture. And I do prefer to understand what those around me say."

Loki may be perceptive enough to notice the way Double Trouble watches for his mannerisms, the way he holds himself as he speaks. They are quite attentive as Loki speaks, ears perking up a little bit at magic, but falling as Loki continued explaining. They knew a bit of sorcery themselves – with enough work anyone could learn it where they were from. The idea that it could be the cornerstone of some novel seemed a bit suspect. Double decided not to touch that.

Double also couldn’t argue the point about knowing what those around him were saying, but they also weren’t sure they agreed that pop culture references were particularly worth the effort, though things on Etheria tended to be a little less mundane. Things didn’t run on a cosmic scale there (really, quite the opposite) and all that really mattered outside of the characters at play were the current state of politics.

“I think I see.” They regarded Loki a moment longer, blinking vertically like a reptile. “You’re good at talking, aren’t you?” The smug smile that spread across Double’s face almost seemed sinister with their sharp teeth.
