[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!

Training Gym

Fight club have finally gotten a gym to train in. Train carriages make strange gyms, long narrow spaces. But this has mats, balance beams, climbing apparatus. Pads and training dummies for punching. It also has large blocks that look a little like what you might find in a children's play centre but can be used to make obstacle courses or provide cover in training exercises.

Set up a course, practice fighting or try and learn how to throw a punch! There are plenty who will help, people who take training super seriously and let's face it, people who want to ambush others from behind oversized foam blocks.

Games

For those for whom fighting is not an idea of fun, or those wanting more relaxation, the games carriage has a whole collection of different games. Board games, card games, dice games. There are many games about trains but they aren't the only type.

There are low tables in the carriage to set a game up on and plenty of beanbags and cushions to sit on. Grab a game, grab a friend or a complete stranger and get playing!

Water Maze

The latest mission has taken the voidtreckers to an underwater maze. They have been given wet suits, helmets and breathing apparatus- lightweight boxes that strap to their back, connect to their helmet and filter air from the water. A powerful and dangerous artifact has been stolen and the race is on to get it back before it is used for ill.

Team One

Plenty of monsters and foes have been sent to try and retrieve the item. Giant crabs, strange eels. Even people with fish tails and the ability to breathe underwater. All are dangerous foes and fighting underwater is difficult.

But team one are the vanguard, keeping the monster levels low to allow team two to push on through the maze.

Team Two

Hopefully team one will deal with the monsters, but the odd one might sneak through. Team two's main job is to solve the maze, because the thief is in the centre in order to perform his ritual.

It's a race against time, the maze is made of coral and walls of seaweed that are impossible to cut through. Solving it requires a quick mind and some determined swimming.

Team Three

For those not wishing to brave the water, or those whose skills lie more in helping others. The island where the artefact was stolen from needs help. The temple was ransacked and some of the islanders were injured. Help them fix their homes, put the temple back to rights, tend to the injured.

Cleaning the temple is a big job, but hopefully by the time the artefact has been retrieved it will be able to be restored to it's rightful place.

He blinked at the odd feeling of the touch of her magic and shook out his fur. "Wow that feels odd," he said then stood to stretch. "I'm a cat. What's so different about me?" Could others tell about his Bending? That... was a problem. But Gabriel never seemed to. Or... had he known all along? That wasn't a fun thought.

[najaran]

"Nice to meet you," Goligan began.

Naja gave her a bright smile, then kitten an even brighter one. She knelt down to get a closer look. "Another dragon!" she said, happily. "I've never seen one so young!"

[nobodys_puppet]

After dispatching the one she was fighting, Xion moved closer as best she could, not knowing how to swim. Whoever this was, she clearly didn't have weapons enough to defend herself. "Get back to the train." Leave the fighting to those who could.

Feel free to ignore, but this seemed too fun to not try.

[prince_kaelas]

Wildcard

While walking through one of the wider cars Daine would be able to sense something rather odd. In a space a little above eye level was the familiar flickering copper of an animal. A large cat. But there was nothing there to see. And nothing for it to be standing on. There was also an odd sense of Darkness, and Dark power around the animal. But she could see nothing with regular vision. Clearly some sort of invisibility spell, which Kitten would probably also be aware of. But even straining she couldn't hear anything, no sound of motion, or breathing. This close she couldn't even hear a heart beat. And the copper fire was moving, the creature was moving slowly, but still... nothing. It seemed... to be coming closer... And to judge by the copper fire... it was HUGE.

[crossedstars]

You mean because everyone here is dependent on the mysterious vessel for survival, yes?

[crossedstars]

She chuckles.

"What a generous offer. I imagine you can give me a tour of exactly where we need to go to get these goods?"

[death_from_above]

"Yep! Someone put up signs too, not like we need them to find food though!" At least he didn't need it to find food he'd been to once.Not if that food was fish. "This way. c'mon!" he started tp lead her towards the train. "Don't forget your bag."

its my fav one to write so i have 0 regrets come to me

[shuanghuas]

[ have a young xiao xingchen blink up at wen ning in confusion; he is a cultivator, he should be able to get up and not be held hostage by a ... piece of furniture. but the beanbag has a relentless, comfortable, squishy grip on him.

it's futile to fight it solo.

the question makes xiao xingchen turn a pretty shade of red. ] I -

Well, I - yes. Does this happen a lot?

[shuanghuas]

[ xiao xingchen scrunches his nose, distrust visible despite the lack of weapon. he knows xue yang is crafty, he does not need a sword to be trouble. and then, as if remembering he ought to be a cultivator: proper, righteous and well behaved, his expression smooths out. ]

I am sorry you escaped your punishment before, perhaps your time here will help you reflect on your crimes.

LOOK AT THIS BABY I LOVE YOUR ICONS I'M JUST AHHHHHHHHHHH

[shuanghuas]

It is perhaps a little too soft. [ xiao xingchen laughs at his own admission, as if it were a joke (he's bad at jokes, he finds the most mundane things entertaining, including and not limited to being stuck on furniture. ]

Yes, newly arrived. Please forgive my lack of manners. [ a proper bow is given. ] I'm Xiao Xingchen.

they're almost the same age too i'm so excited to see how they contrast even then ahhhh <3

[shuanghuas]

[ every now and then, xiao xingchen straightens out any sloppy side with a smile. he does not mind, warming up to this new companion immediately. he's easy to trust - especially at this stage. ]

Oh, that sounds considerably more difficult. [ he does not really understand the purpose of destroying what you build but who is he to judge? the world outside the mountain had it's charm, perhaps this is just another part of it. ]

It sounds easy enough, miss. [ he is uncertain where to take a block from without toppling the entire structure so he gently taps at one close to the top. it wobbles a little but nothing falls.

he places the block on the left, and then turns his attention to her. ] Did I do it correctly?

[xue_yang]

I've had plenty of time to reflect. I've been very well behaved.

[That's not completely truthful but all things considered..he's only killed one person and not hundreds.]

[shuanghuas]

"Not particularly, but I can always find my way around if you want something very specific. I got up to fetch myself some tea." He looks at the cane again as if hoping to convey his meaning politely, without outright saying anything that could be misconstrued as rude or asking invasive questions.

"If you are hungry, I can see what is available and does not require any complicated instructions to make."

LOLOLOLOL 'only'

[shuanghuas]

Really? [ the boyish, trusting tone paints again how naive xiao xingchen is - that there is the single note there of hope that xue yang may be telling the truth. a hope and innocence xue yang himself had extinguished by his own actions.

xiao xingchen remembers song lan's advice to be cautious.

or perhaps the fact that xue yang isn't actually lying is what xiao xingchen picks up on. all things considered it's more truth than lie. ] I -

So, you've merely stayed on the side without hurting others?

Have to admit thats pretty good for him lol

[xue_yang]

I only killed people who deserved it. No one here has done anything wrong to me.

[It's not like he kills for sport..not really. He kills those that have looked down on him or caused him wrong.]

yup it absolutely is

[shuanghuas]

[ now that makes xiao xingchen angry. the way he presses his mouth in a thin line, shoulders squared and waiting for xue yang to lash out. ]

Really? All those small clans you slaughtered when you left Nightless City? They deserved it? Who are you to judge such things, Xue Yang.

[xue_yang]

[He holds up that hand with the missing finger. He has obtained a glove thanks to someone buying it for him, so it is covered up much like it was before. He curls all the fingers down and that pink still stays up, unable to move.]

I make my own justice, Daozhang. I always have. They harm others, so they will be harmed.

Team three

[wingsofpie]

"Not a fan of swimming?"

Exusiai wasn't against swimming, but the prospect of DIVING was...a bit more unpleasant. Perhaps this kid was a kindred spirit of sorts?

[kindlepitch]

It reminded him entirely too much of the device he'd almost used on Snow in the past, so he was a little reluctant to take it, turning it over in his hands. It looked normal enough, orangeness aside, but he knew that looks could be deceiving.

"So, it stops the magic translating what I'm saying?" Was he understanding that right? He hadn't even considered that whatever helped them all understand each other might interfere with his magic.

2 - game room!

[treno_nobleman]

[While this is all well and good for some folk, Kuja has given the carriage and its contents and its surrounding contents a once or twice over... and found nothing in particular to hold his interest. Bored, he turns to make his way elsewhere when a familiar mop of blonde hair catches his attention.]

[He stops. Stares. And decides to ask.]

What, indeed?

TRAINING /yeets self at

[mtsilver_conquor]

"Having fun?"

Here, have a grinning Eva, complete with Dancer on her shoulder (instead of her normal shadow of Princess), the red oricorio seemingly sleeping.

[shuanghuas]

You cannot be judge, jury and executioner, Xue Yang! [ his voice rises, anger colouring the edges of it. ]

Training gym

[wingsofpie]

Exusiai had a vague idea of brushing up on her hand to hand skills, since ammo was at a premium right now. She walked in just in time to see Emi chop the dummy in half and was openly impressed. She kind of appeared next to Emi to inspect her handiwork.

"Wow! How'd you do that with a wooden sword!?"

[xue_yang]

[There it is..the judgement that always comes. Somehow it stings even more now that it is Xingchen that says it. Before it wouldn't bother him, but with all he knows it causes an ache to see and hear him get that mad at him. But then again..it also makes him happy because it means that he truly is alive and there above him.

He sits up finally and looks at the daozhang. He has always played the part of executioner, usually doing the dirty work of other people. It's the only thing he knows he is good at.]

That's how I was always treated, so why should anyone else get things more fairly?

[sizedoesntmatter]

Want me to arrange the cubes just in case?

[Because he could tell there was potential gaps that one could end up hitting instead if that was to happen and he would rather avoid anyone getting hurt if he can help it.]
