Test Drive Meme 002

[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!

Luggage Handling

The last carriage of the train is full of luggage. It’s all empty but there sure is a lot of it. Suitcases, old fashioned travelling trunks, rucksacks. And they are scattered everywhere, a safety concern to be sure.

Or perhaps the most fun place on the train, if you are thinking about it right. These cases could be anything, a fort, a bunker. How many can you stack up until they are too high to reach or they tumble down on top of you?

Let out your inner child and relieve some of the boredom of being stuck on a train by creating the luggage castle of your dreams, or step in before disaster strikes and attempt to bring some organisation to this chaos.

Scavenger Hunt

You’ve found yourself on a world that seems to be one huge scrap yard. At least all the parts you can see are and you aren’t the only ones there. A small fighter craft has crash landed here and the pilot needs help fixing their craft to get out of here!

Team One The parts needed must be around here somewhere! This place has all sorts and so it’s just a matter of trying to sort through all the junk to find what you are looking for.

Team Two Some parts from the actual ship are salvageable but it’s going to take a team to get this thing sky worthy again. Fix what can be fixed and get the craft ready for the spare parts that will hopefully be found.

Team Three This planet is not without its nuisances. Most prominent are some strange cyborg rats that have a taste for wiring. Fend them off before they get into the craft and render all the hard work undone.

A picnic with a view

Heroes deserve rewards every now and again and after a few days of protecting a settlement from strange shape shifting alien blobs there is a moment to relax before boarding the train once more.

What a place to relax in. High up on a cliff overlooking a vast plain of crystal stalagmites. The light of two suns reflects of them creating a dazzling prism mirror effect of colour, it’s almost like hovering above a sea of rainbows.

A picnic has been provided by some grateful villagers, the food is strange but delicious and a perfect way to unwind after a stressful few days.

The entire nature of reality is starting to feel pretty bizarre - why in the world would you discover the truth of multiverse theory, and then traverse it with an outdated mass transit vehicle?

But she's here. "There are still people alive who remember when only a handful of military personnel and researchers lived in space. If you have the technology to understand this kind of vehicle at all, then it might start in your lifetime." A mixed bag, really.

"Perhaps." His world was pretty occupied by war right now and now he had been brought here... Who knew what would happen.

He's trying not to dwell on it though. "Yes we have float systems, as well as more mundane flying craft such as aeroplanes. This isn't that much different. Have you a better idea about how to repair it now?"

They have a basic plan but the more people who add their knowledge the better. Hopefully it doesn't go the other way.

Wars can only last for so long. Really. Without killing everyone. That could be his future too? "I'm not the best engineer here, but I can at least help with the wiring."

She looks back at Suzaku. "You could start asking questions while you're here. Go home with all sorts of knowledge about space travel, show off like you're the genius who invented it."

[swordofzero]

For a moment he just looked at her and then became very interested in the part of the machine he was examining. "I don't think anyone would believe me, I'm not that intelligent."

He knows his way round an engine but space travel is something different. That's not really the problem of course. Dead people can't invent, even if they were technically not dead at all. Especially then, really.

He could still ask the questions though, pass the information on to someone else who could invent it. "Learning as much as we can is not a bad idea though, there has to be a positive of being taken from our worlds."

[pleple]

Well there's a perfectly good Lloyd, then.

"Suit yourself." It wasn't really her business - but she wasn't in any position to just do everything herself here. "Most of my knowledge wasn't learned from experience or traditional learning." Like her vocabulary, her weirdly mature demeanor... "So, whatever I go home to, I'd like to apply this practical knowledge."
