[voidtreckermods]

Welcome to the Test Drive Meme! Here is the place to see how your character might fit the setting, grab samples and have fun!

1. Post with your character, including their name and series in the subject. We’ve written out some prompts but feel free to make up your own, you have a whole train to play with!

2. Assume they've been around long enough for threads to jump right into the action.

3. Have lots of fun.

Happy testing!

Crisis On... An Aeroplane

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.

Here you are the crew of a small aeroplane in desperate trouble and attempting to land, the wind is strong, your engines are straining and the visibility is near zero. Can your crew land safely?

Dressing up

The Voidtreckers have a new mission and the dressing carriage is open for their convenience...

The mission is taking them to a circus and the clothes sure reflect that. Clown costumes, glittery leotards, many feathers and an overabundance of sequins.

There is make up and facepaint provided as well, hopefully there are enough voidtreckers with expertise to make it look convincing.

Clowning Around

Strange happenings have been happening in Kilpi, a monster ridden land and joining a performing troupe is the best bet of protection outside of the small settlements. The voidtreckers are masquerading as one such troupe, in order to help out a small settlement that has seen a spate of killings. Voidtreckers must put on the show of their lives, investigate the killings and bring peace back to the town.

Team One

Setting up the stage for the performance is a good time for building bonds with the towns people. Everyone knows something, no matter how small and they are more likely to gossip with stage hands than talk to the town guard.

Gather information, set up a stage and get ready for the show.

Team Two

The killings always happen in the evening or at night, always when people are alone. So making sure people are not alone is the task of team two. The show is ready, it is big, it is loud and hopefully enough to draw in the whole town.

Eat fire, juggle, walk that tightrope. Music plays, sequins glitter. The show is a distraction and their task is to be the best distraction they can be.

Team Three

Whilst team two are distracting it is team threes chance to catch the killer. The streets are deserted, quiet and stealth is necessary to remain undetected.

Most people are at the show, but not everyone. Are they in danger? Or are they potential suspects.

"Seems rather mundane when you put it that way." But she was inclined to agree with his assessment. "It seems like quite a lot though doesn't it? Us putting on this big to do just to empty out the city." She sipped her water between her thoughts giving herself time to put them together.

"If there is only one killer, he'd be a fool to not be in our crowd tonight. And if there are multiple killers perhaps they'll see it as a challenge. Or an opportunity for growth. Either way with our haphazard collection of fighters it won't be a long fight I imagine once they're found."

Either way she simply felt wasted on such a small problem.

[yondu]

"Well... the one good thing about it, is it's a show of power. We give a performance and if anyone's watchin' that has some untoward intentions then it's real likely they're gonna get scared off. Bad thing is it's a good chance for someone to judge what we got goin' for us."

A really keen observer could watch them and use it to their advantage. Not that it matters. He really doubts that anyone on this planet, from his own judgment, has abilities that match theirs.

"To hell with it. You ready to go or do you need some recharge time or somethin'?"

[makeadragonwannaretire]

He had a point and it made her reconsider her next plan. She had been planning on unleashing her lightning to thrill and amaze these bumpkins but...perhaps it was best to keep some things under wraps a bit longer.

"I'm plenty fired up. Your whistle isn't about to dry out on us is it?" She shot back with a hint of excitement. Even if she wouldn't admit it, she was having fun.

[yondu]

"Don't worry about me. I can go all day long." His people's native language was whistling and a few other mouth noises, not that the Kree had a high tolerance for slaves talking in ways they didn't understand.

That part of the story doesn't make it to the surface, though. He just smirks and steps out, crowd ready for the show.

"Hey! We need us a volunteer." He calls out to the crowd. "We got some clay discs that need throwin' so we can show you a little target practice." And honestly they might as well show off to whatever nefarious parties that might be watching that they're not gonna be missing during a fight."

[makeadragonwannaretire]

Azula followed after a moment to compose herself and plaster on a fake smile. Her usual condescending smirk of superiority wasn't as inviting.

This one interested her, she'd have to keep an eye on him. Somewhere between a showmen and a warrior, with a voice like gravel. But people seemed to be eating out of his hand just as much as hers.

There were all kinds of leaders in the vast multiverse, perhaps she could learn something from him in time. For now she joined him in the ring and began lighting some torches around them to help illuminate the disks.

[yondu]

There is are a lot of people vying for the honor of chucking the discs, but Yondu eventually settles on an older adolescent. He can tell from the look of them they're gonna be the type to try and impress the performers by trying to toss the targets and make them too hard to hit.

It'll make the display a little better, in his opinion.

"How about you go first," then, quieter, and with a sharp grin, "Try not to burn off his eyebrows." Something in his tone indicates he's not doubting her abilities, he's doubting the person can avoid getting on their nerves.

[makeadragonwannaretire]

"Oh please, he'd look better that way." She called back stepping into the spotlight and shooting their participant a daring look.

He took the bait, wanting to show up the pale girl from out of town. He flung the disc as hard as he could straight up instead of in front of them. Azula didn't even look as she pointed two fingers to the sky and sent a blinding streak of flame upward, catching the disk before it got as high as the tight ropes.

"Oh did you not understand the instructions boy? Perhaps we can explain it to you slower. You're supposed...to throw them...that way." She gestured across the ring.

His face was one of embarrassment and anger. Now he was really ready to show off. And apparently so was she.
