[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!

For her part, Cassandra is seated cross-legged upon one of the rocks, eyes closed, hands resting on her knees, a picture of tranquility. The Void is odd and unsettling--she can still sense life and other things moving through it as the Technocracy claimed...

That was the part that made her brow furrow, not the fact that she could tell that the young man with his companion nearby had a headache. It's not using magick, just--she, too, is familiar with headaches, though Cass' tend to be more aggressive and lay her out in the end for a few days, unless she does manage to use her own magick to banish them.

With a quiet sigh--it's not his fault, after all--she gets to her feet and sidles over. "Beg pardon," she says, voice a bit rough. "Do you prefer not to use things like...oh, willowbark tea, for your headache?" She points at the spot between her brows that sported a furrow not long ago. "I get them too," Cass says, then, offering a sympathetic smile. "And sometimes your conventional painkillers--or perhaps mine--simply don't work the way we'd like them to, eh?"

Lan Zhan avoids gazing out the window, away from the ever-shifting void to spare his headaches and blurred vision. Keeping a calm expression, he tried to concentrate and focus on the people around him. He's not used to being social, but he would like to become familiar with allies and companions who also rides the same train as him.

"...Hm? Mn. Willowbark tea? I never heard of it. Is it any good for a headache? I never tried it before. Do you have any?"
