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!

"Well. I'm not saying she isn't a bit nutty." He shrugs expressively.

"But... she learnt. So... that's ... good?"

HE STILL DOESNT REALLY TRUST HER??? BUT....

[signseeker]

"Anyone can learn," Will says. "At any time, the choice is always there, to choose to be something better." Even the Walker had been given that choice at the end.

But because it was a choice, there was also always a chance that they would choose to become something worse. And that choice too, was always there.

[stealsyourheart]

"Well. We're students still, so learning is what we're supposed to do..."

He shrugs.

"You look younger than me, but are you really?"

HE HAS EXPERIENCE OKAY

[signseeker]

The matter of age was rather a difficult question for Will, seeing as age for an Old One was rather relative. The proper answer, of course, was that he was as old as the hills and as young as a new leaf. Both at once.

But in another sense he was only 13. And all of these were true.

"I have seen 13 birthdays," he says at last.

[stealsyourheart]

"The way you say that suggests that it isn't an accurate description, but okay. 13 it is. You act older though."

[signseeker]

"It is accurate enough. Age is a relative thing," he says vaguely. "And I've been often told that I'm rather old for my age."

[stealsyourheart]

He snorts, amused.

"Seems I know a few people that could be said of. Are you going to be alright here? You don't need any special conditions for your magic or anything?"

[signseeker]

"Don't worry about me," Will says pleasantly. "There is not much here that can hurt me, I don't think. As for my magic, it is here as I am here."

[stealsyourheart]

"That's going to be useful then." He says cheerfully. "A lot of the stops here are dangerous, in one way or another."

[signseeker]

Will wasn't sure if he liked the sound of that. There was very little in this or any place that could truly hurt him. Not permanently, anyway.

But he had long ago learned the hard way that that didn't mean that there weren't ways to put him to the side for the time. And it meant nothing for the protection of the humans around him, who had been and could be hurt even by his own side. For the sword of the Light was one that swung both ways.

"How are they dangerous, then? Is it monsters like this place?"

[stealsyourheart]

"Depends. We had an exploding volcano and a mudslide on one world. Goblins on another. Dinosaurs... it's pretty variable."
