[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.

Oh, Kore? [He pronounces it the very Greek way, Core-ay.] Mother never liked that name, supposedly. That's why I never thought to even call you that. Would you prefer I call you Kore, or should I stick with Persephone, or... I don't know... Perse? Sepha? Something else?

... forgive me for asking, but what exactly is corn?

I don't know exactly what happened; Mother hasn't gotten around to telling me the whole story, yet. I hope to understand everything soon. All I know is that Lord Uncle Zeus is somehow involved, and... well. That Father still is deeply in love with Mother, despite her ideas to the contrary. That's what I'm going to try to prove to her, when next we meet.

Persephone is perfectly fine. Perse or Sephe. Kore is just kind of... For another version off myself who no longer exists.

But--I, uh. I hope it goes well... I, uh, I don't know the story either but I wish I did. It really kind of sucks knowing only half the story about some possible future. And I'm sure it sucks not knowing your own past.

[Pause] And I would explain corn but that's a whole other conversation. A long one.

[dyingpro]

Sephe, then. Seems a bit more, I don't know... cute? Simpler, definitely. Maybe Perse for special occasions, like feasts of honor.

I didn't think about it until recently, to be honest. I was more or less content being the Prince of Hades that Father kept around for formal functions only until... well, until I found out Father lied to me. And then I had to go find her.

[This is getting away from him. This is supposed to be a cheerful place, not one of sorrow. He shakes his head a little to clear his thoughts.]

Well it's not like I've got anything better to do except listen. Unless you'd rather I play you another song instead? I've got loads more, courtesy of Eurydice.
