[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!

Film Night

The newest carriage on the Voidtrecker Express is the long awaited cinema! It hosts many films and TV series. Perfect if passengers wish to waste an afternoon without worrying about being stolen from their worlds and hurtling through the void between worlds.

Dashing adventures, chair gripping horrors or adorable adventures of the Merry Little Voidtrain. There is something for everyone, though with only one screen arguments may be inevitable.

Fight Club

The gym carriage is definitely created more for ball games than sparring but that hasn't stopped the passengers adapting as best they can. There are homemade training dummies and plenty of people who use the space to work out and get ready for the next mission.

But there is also a cupboard full of every ball for almost every ball game there is, the two activities in one space may make for a little chaos.

Spar with people, play football. Create some mix of basketball and mixed martial arts. All training counts, right?

Jungle Heights

The latest mission has taken them to a vast jungle, where people live high in the trees. There has been an influx of tree dwelling creatures with sharp teeth, sharper claws and a love of destruction. To make things better the forest floor is not safe, damp and marshy many creatures lurk there ready to bite at ankles and it is home to a root, the sap of which burns.

Team One

Treetop fighting is an acquired skill and one the voidtreckers are having to learn quickly. Swing on vine ropes and tangle with monsters. Quick movement and quicker thinking is needed to take down the creatures in terrain they are naturals at traversing.

Team Two

People here live on platforms in the trees, with bridges and walkways connecting them. Fend off the creatures and chase them away from peoples homes. At least there is slightly solider ground beneath their feet, but they must be careful not to fall to the jungle floor beneath.

Team Three

Many of the people here are not fighters and they need help to get somewhere safer. It's a tough journey through the forest, especially when they leave the bridges and platforms of the village behind. Children may need carried and climbing from one tree to another is difficult even with sturdy branches to walk along.

They must be careful to stay in the trees, avoid getting too close to the forest floor but do not get too high, lest they attract the creatures.

[Nero must admit, he's here out of curiosity. The entire train is a mystery to be solved, and more than anything, he'd like very much to find a way into the Engine, but that will require every resource at his disposal, and surely there was something in their makeshift training care he could convert to be of some use.

He wasn't expecting finding a Miqo'te, or at least her swishing tale. He just watches for a moment, arms crossed, amused.]

Has your rummaging borne fruit?

[lightsmith]

[Her ears pricked up and twitched back at the voice, pausing in her rummaging with a sigh. Of all the people that could wind up here--actually, she corrected herself, there could always be worse. She really didn't want to have to throw Zenos or Elidibus off into the void, after all.]

No, and I'm bored out of my damned mind.

[There was the token attempt to hide her Limsan accent and rougher speaking, but annoyance made it harder. She shut the cabinet and dropped back to her feet properly to face Nero, tossing a baseball to herself to keep her hands busy.]

Doesn't seem like your sort of place to hang about.

[gunhammered]

Truly? [He watched the ball she'd acquired for just a moment. It wasn't paraphernalia for any sort of sport he'd ever encountered, which intrigued him, but ancient cultures never interested him as much as the technologies they'd left behind.

Or those they'd tried their hardest to bury. He grinned, motioning around vaguely at their surroundings.] We are currently hurtling at an unknown velocity through the Void of all places and the transition is ought but a meager jerk. Where would I be besides this train?

[lightsmith]

Meant this car specifically. You never struck me as somebody who went about exertin' yourself for fun, or at all outside that armor.

[a roundabout way of calling him a nerd? mayhaps!]

Then again, you make a good enough point.

[gunhammered]

That is the thing about trains, isn't it? There is no roundabout way to arrive anywhere. It really is just one thing connected to another, but if you must know, I was passing through and decided to investigate the sounds.

[I mean, she's not wrong.]

And of course, I do. I always make fair points. [His smile turned arrogant, which was a much more customary expression.] I'll even spare you another: this train has an engine room, at the front, where they usually have them, and there are only so many ways to couple a train car. [He left the rest of his little point ambiguous, except to add:] I'm rather interested in cataloging all the various ways in which this train is tethered together.

[lightsmith]

[She pressed her free hand to her forehead with a heavy sigh.]

Don't take the bleedin' thing apart while we're still on it, Nero. [So much for hiding the accent.] And I ain't fightin' this one when you piss it off, ya got it? One ghost train was plenty for me.

[...She would if the situation called for it, but at least she'd make the objection.]

[gunhammered]

Why ever would I do that? [Now, if it is enough to incite some sort of self-preservation protocol, or stop the train, that could open up purchase to the engine car, and that is his final destination.

A train. With the power to travel the Void.

It will be his.]

For the time being I do live here, you know. While I am ambitious, one false step into the Void was enough for me, thank you.

[lightsmith]

[Under her breath:] More like dumbass, but sure.

Look, just don't do nothin' too stupid that's like to make you my problem. Again. If you want into the engine room so badly, fine. I need to get back as much as you apparently want a train, so we can work somethin' or other out.

[gunhammered]

I beg your pardon. Stupid? [That actually gets a chuckle from him and a shake of his head.]

Daring? Yes. A risk? Certainly, but nothing I've ever done has proven stupid.

[lightsmith]

Maybe 'crazy enough to work' is better at describin' half the stunts you like pullin', because 'daring' makes it sound like you plan all the way to the end instead of just 'this sounded like a good idea at the time'.

[Beat.]

...then again, that's sort of all I ever do. Look, I'm just tryin' to say I don't want you getting eaten by the Void a second time, alright?
