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!

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.

"Is it?" Maebhrin asked. "I had thought that certainly, someone somewhere might have attempted such." She shrugged, then. "I felt that it might improve balance and core muscle control. My intent was such that the ball should not move, and neither should I. At least, until I intended to..."

Though it really would be better if she had a sword or two to help...

"No, no, it makes perfect sense, I just never thought of it." She really had some impressive balance. (And other attributes, if he's being honest.) He had to appreciate it. "What's the next step, walking on it?"

[swordsage]

"That's the easy part! It's much easier to make it go than to make it stop or hold it still," Maebhrin explained. Though, looking thoughtful, she shrugged. "Maybe I ought to walk on it a bit, but it would be more like moving a little, then stopping it."

Though her eyes widened as a thought struck her. "That, or I could dance upon it. There's an idea!" Because she'd have to think of where she placed her feet on the ball, her speed, and a number of other things...it added a level of complication that she'd never had to consider any more.

Which of course meant she had to do it, now! Maebhrin just needed a few moments to get her footing and start one of the easier dances she knew, keeping an eye on her feet for now.

Okay. Stand on a ball, walk on a ball, Edge was pretty sure he could do those things with a little practice. But dancing on it?

"What kind of training do you do that you actually consider difficult?!"
