[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!

Crisis On… A Ship!

The train has a game carriage and the VR video games are always popular. A good way to relive boredom as well as teaching some good skills.

Crisis on...This game can be played with two to four players. It is essentially a crisis simulator mixed with an escape room. You can chose the scenario (the bridge of a space ship, a camp in a jungle, a high rise building, a sailing ship etc) and you are thrown into the middle of a crisis of some kind. Teamwork and a cool head are important as is using the surroundings wisely.

Ahoy there! You and your small crew are on board a sailing ship in the middle of an ocean. But you are being chased by an enemy ship and there’s a storm brewing! There are many roles for you to chose from and different puzzles and problems to be solved. Batten down the hatches, flee the enemy ships and if necessary man the canons! Bring yourselves and your crew to harbour safely.

Dressing up

The upcoming mission is one in space and the void treckers have been told to blend in. The dressing room has been opened and what awaits them looks like it walked out of a old science fiction film. Shoulder pads, metalic colours. Everything over the top, ridiculous and not practical at all.

Yet the mission brief said to fit in. So swallow your pride and try and find outfits that aren’t too ridiculous. Or go all out and make the most of it, it’s not every day you can wear elaborate outfits after all.

Space Battle

As perhaps the outfits had suggested this world is an odd one, the outfits given to the voidtreckers make them some of the most subtle dressed people in the space city. Big, bold and loud. But the crisis is clear, an enemy force attacking this city filled with non combatants and children.

Team One

Space fighting time! The space ships are designed for two so voidtreckers will need a partner. There’s not much time to train so it will be mostly learning on the job, but it’s fine. The voidtreckers job is mostly to make up numbers, to split the enemy’s focus whilst those that know how to pilot go in to defeat the enemy.

Team Two

The problem with space battles is, there are a lot of injuries and a lot of damaged space ships. The space city is not one that has a large military so damaged ships need to be fixed as quickly as possible.

Help out the engineers. It might be the voidtreckers know a little about repairing ships themselves but even if they don’t, extra pairs of hands are always useful.

Team Three

This city is loud, bustling and full of life. But with the battle raging outside everyone needs to stay safe. Help people get to shelters. Clear the streets and begin the evacuation, though hopefully a full evacuation won’t be needed.

Space Disco

Enemies vanquished, this city does what it apparantly does best. That is, party. The music is way too loud, different songs out of each building, people dance in the streets, lights flash far too fast. There is strange street food to try, new dances to learn and a victory to celebrate.

It's very important he do this the old fashioned way! Even if that is really damn tiring these days; once upon a time this would have been finished nigh instantly. "..Wrong element?"

By the time Xander returns, Fandaniel certainly hasn't reached any conclusions about what that had meant, but the block he'd been working on has now been set aside, its smooth dark surface marred by what looks awfully like tiny bright red berries.

Offered the juice, he takes it regardless with a murmur of thanks, watching the little white creature scramble out of the grass and onto Xander's lap. A fruit bat perhaps? The grapes then were likely for it. "What did you mean, 'wrong element'?"

[emerald_mirror]

"I'm an elementalist, basically." REALLY basic, in truth. "My specialty is Earth." Xander chuckled just a little. "If I'd been a Water mage, I could have just conjured some for you."

But clearly that wasn't the case, and so he'd had to wander off. Xander shrugged, then. "So I did it the hard way. Sometimes the mundane way is the best way, though, I suppose."

Fandaniel's assessment isn't wrong. It's a very tiny white bat, true, but the little white puffball now residing in Xander's lap is doing its best to shove as much of the grape in its mouth as it can.

[popotostudies]

The now half-missing juice is considered, versus potentially conjured water. The idea clearly isn't foreign, after all that's what he'd been doing a minute ago, albeit with rocks and not water, but it's always interesting to find out others might be able to do similar things. "True conjuration, or ... mm, pulling it directly from the atmosphere or ground and so on?"

Earth manipulation versus earth creation! An important distinction.

Mostly by way of taste, if it's water.

Water pulled out of the dirt tended to have lingering hints of dirt.

"There's much to be said about the pleasant flavor of a cup of juice," he continues after a moment's further thought. Unfortunate about the side effects later, why can't he just enjoy a refreshing liquid?! "I appreciate the hard way in this case. Did the bat come with you or is it ... native pest control provided by the train..?"

[emerald_mirror]

"Manipulation. Luckily for me, usually, earth is everywhere." It's a bit different here on the train, though. So Xander's happy that his element has enough wiggle room, so to speak, that he can manipulate metal as well. Though that's more difficult. It definitely takes longer.

"I don't really know any Water Masters, or even water mages, myself, so I'm mostly going from what I've been taught." Though with a Master--it was rather unlikely that there'd be traces of dirt even left in the water. They had ways of purifying it...

"Oh, Cottonball? She came with me. She's a fruit bat, so she's no good at pest control anyway." She might like a nice bit of sap here and there, too, but she's unlikely to threaten anything currently in the garden. She lets Xander feed her whenever he goes to the kitchen. "She's my familiar."

[popotostudies]

"Not much on a train," the Ascian murmurs, though there's at least some right here and now. Mostly dirt but he's working on increasing the rock population. An ability that would on pretty much any world be incredibly useful!

Free ranging water would be simpler, it's in the atmosphere itself, unlike rocks.

But there go ideas of free pest control, though if there's any pests around he hasn't really NOTICED yet. "I'm not sure I know that word as you're using it." Fandaniel glances back down at his stone, and the tiny motes begin moving again, albeit very slowly. "When you say 'familiar', what do yo mean by it?"
