Test Drive Meme 011

[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.

Ultimo watches Fandaniel working - mostly out of curiosity, but also because it's a nice place to just... exist, much like his darkness around. Nothing feels hostile and so, Ultimo doesn't feel the need to do more than watch. He'll even edge in closer to get a better look.

But Fandaniel asks for a drink, and Ultimo blinks before a bright smile crosses his face.

"Sure thing! Uru would be happy to!"

He doesn't ask what Fandaniel wants before bolting off, and he's gone for a few minutes. But when he comes back, he is carrying a tray with not only a drink (he hopes lemonade is alright), but also a small array of sandwiches as a snack.

He holds out the tray with a smile.

[popotostudies]

"Th-" ...Aaaaand he's gone.

Fandaniel doesn't bother to finish the word, bemused. It's been a while since he was promptly obeyed by anyone; the Convocation were all equals (with some more equal than others of course), and they didn't exactly rule any of the mortal races, but it's still .. nice to have such prompt interest in doing as asked.

By the time Ultimo returns .. well frankly not a whole lot of work has been done, it's apparently slow and somewhat tedious work. The Ascian's certainly expecting a drink when the stranger returns, but a tray with bits and bobs of various snacks had not been. It's a generosity he's honestly not expecting, and for a moment, Fandaniel looks thoroughly nonplussed.

Then smiles. "Thank you kindly, stranger. That's more than I asked for."

[ultimate_angel]

With the praise, Ultimo's smile brightens. This feels nice. He's happy to have made someone's day a little bit brighter.

"Uru is happy to help," he repeats from earlier. "Uru is Uru, or Ultimo."

Being called either doesn't really matter to him. He just likes the nickname former Yamato gave him.

A brief pause, as he realises his formalities.

"What should Uru call you?"

[popotostudies]

Fandaniel appears to weigh this for a few moments.

It seems, young or not, that perhaps Ultimo is thinking on an immature level, and as troublesome as Ascians are for civilizations, being mean to children is generally below them.

"Uru it is," he says after a bit of thought, since it seemed Ultimo preferred that one. "You may call me Fandaniel."

Which is a title more than a name but hey it works the same. "Would you like some of this? You brought it all, after all."

[ultimate_angel]

Ultimo nods as he's given the title, and then sits himself beside Fandaniel.

He shakes his head gently when Fandaniel offers to share his snack.

"Uru doesn't need it. Just you enjoying it is enough for Uru."

In a sense, that's true. Even though he could eat if he wanted too, he's much more satisfied soaking in the warm feelings others feel. The give and take of love, even the nonromantic kind. If Fandaniel loves his food, it is certainly enough for Ultimo.

Ultimo looks at the garden that Fandaniel's been set to.

"Are you making something special?" Curious, sincere, and with a smile.

[popotostudies]

"I admit I think food is going to be one of those things I'll keep doing even when everything's back to how it should be," he says, as if it's perfectly obvious what he's talking about and Ultimo's already well versed in Ascian history. "It certainly is .. an experience." And one he's happy to indulge in, not so much the drinking water part. They both had unpleasant side effects, but at least food was very tasty!

So he's going to be taking his time with the samples of sandwitchlets.

When Ultimo mentions what he's making, Fandaniel considers the half-constructed altar and tiny variety of plants. Something in his smile changes - he was polite enough before, certainly friendly, but this is something more, and deeply personal. "Yes," and there's a warmth there that hadn't been before, different from friendliness to strangers, this is devotion. Willing, joyful devotion. Tempering is one hell of a drug. "I'm making my God a gift." The little motes of light fade away, the partially constructed obsidian brick held up a little. "He doesn't need such things, and I suppose I don't really either, but it ... it's comforting a little, to make something of my own mind and my own aether, to dedicate to him when I can't continue our other work."

The brick is set on one knee. "Of course, he can't come take it, like one would a normal gift, but I think he'll know it's for him."

[ultimate_angel]

"How it should be? Is this place not how it should be?"

As if he wasn't pulled here from another world, too. He thinks that Fandaniel is talking about things in this realm being different from the past.

The warmth flows through Ultimo, and his eyes sparkle when Fandaniel explains it.

"You're making a gift!" And the way Fandaniel explains it sounds like nothing short of the giving kind of love. "That's wonderful! Uru is sure they will like it very much! Which Douji is yours? Are they Good?"

Because Fandaniel said God, after all. Douji transform into those. As far as he knows, it's not one of the Seven Sins or Six Perfections. Maybe there are other Douji out there Ultimo hasn't met yet.

He hopes they're Good. He'd love to see another Good Douji.

[popotostudies]

Fandaniel has to actually stop and think about that. "No, I don't believe so. None of this is quite right. It's close though, and I don't mind it. Do you? Is it different to you as well?"

It's not bad, but it's definitely not the world he knows. The aether is different, the souls are different--

...On that note, Ultimo's is also different. Not the fractured tiny pale wan things he's used to mortals having.

'Douji' is apparently the word for god in Ultimo's language, and while he really should question that, he ... doesn't. It's easier to assume, and be pleased. "I hope so."

Likely. Zodiark appreciated everything they did for him. "His name is Zodiark. He is ... not well known to most, which is unfortunate. Zodiark is very, very good. Noble and kind and willing to do whatever it takes to see the best outcome for all. Even if it means he gets hurt in the process." His smile turns a touch sad. "I can't think of much that could be more good, but I'm a little biased."

He is exceedingly biased, because he's left out the part where he's erasing entire worlds at his God's behest, because the outcome later on is 'better'. That probably actually counts as severely evil.

Sorry, life is craziness

[ultimate_angel]

Ultimo looks at Fandaniel's shrine in awe as he listens to how good Zodiark is. He can't help but smile.

"Zodiark sounds very wonderful. Uru would love to meet him." It's said warmly. Who knows, maybe Zodiark could teach Ultimo some things about Good.

And how Fandaniel shows his attachment, and how Good Douji thrive on love, he figures Zodiark must be very happy. It makes him miss Yamato. Even if he knows they'll be united someday.

It also makes him wonder if Fandaniel is also separated from his Douji.

"Is he here with you?"
