[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!

In an alternate almost exactly like the one inhabited by the Voidtrecker Express, fate went another direction. Instead of the first addition to the train's structure being the games carriage, this train's passengers voted differently.

What makes them happy?

Crocodiles.

The Crocodile carriage isn't a misnomer. It's teeming with reptiles of various sizes, basking under sunlamps or floating lazily in the raised tank built across half of the available space. To be even better for morale, they're all perfectly tame, and unnervingly friendly; it's rare that a passenger is able to cross the carriage without being accosted by some crocodile or gharial looking for attention.

Harvest Void

The greenhouse is a surprisingly bright room, its vaulted ceiling made of a transparent, incredibly tough material that shows the light of the Void along the entire length of the room. The single metal support beam is bedecked in roses. The aisle of grass running through the centre of the carriage is riotous with strange plants and flowers, small stone paths leading off to this patch or that of vegetables or closely clustered fruit trees.

And all of them are laden with produce. Whether a stray spell or a particularly good mood from one of the resident forces of nature, every plant in the carriage has matured at once. Shrubs overflow with berries, rows of stalks groan under beans and tomatoes, apples threaten to fall from overhead branches at any moment.

You may not normally be a gardener, but today it's all hands on deck!

Cold Iron, Warm Hearts

The duchy of Yipre is one of several close-knit factions on one continent, known for both her expansive clockworks and strong links to the Fey. Central to the capital is the Clocktower, the palace home to both the Duchess Stomen and her court of scholars, diplomats and engineers. Home also to a key point in the Ley, where the mundane world and the Fey intersect just enough that one may cross from one to the other.


But the Clocktower is sundered, entire sections of iron and brass sheared away in a great earthquake, and neither world is faring well in the aftermath.

Team One

The gear sprites of the Clocktower are missing, running amok in the streets and squares of the duchy. They're tiny things, fluff, metal filings and dust made quicksilver-fast, with small, glowing eyes and bell-like voices. While normally they keep the machinery of their home running, they aren't nearly as talented with anything else, and are causing general chaos with all devices and machinery they run across. Find them, and herd them back to the Tower. Maybe get them out of the typewriter first.

Team Two

The gateway to the Fey realm is torn, and dreaming magic is spilling out from the Clocktower. Finding the Voidtreckers' minds fertile grounds for its taking, imagined creatures and realms are conjured forth from all kinds of worlds and all kinds of lives. There are many ways to combat these - play them through until the magic is satisfied, for example, or find the Voidtrecker whose mind is the source, and stop them dreaming. It's up to the Voidtreckers on this team to decide.

Team Three

The Clocktower isn't quite in ruins, but large sections are crumpled like tin foil. In other places, steam and magic spill out into the air in a chaotic mix, burning and twisting the air into glittering leaves or long ropes of thorn. And through this, those that called the palace home fight to free themselves from the wreckage. Courtiers, servants, engineers… and, somewhere, the Duchess herself. Help who you can, but find her.

Kanan is just passing through. He still can't quite feel comfortable in this car, but he's not afraid. Just very aware these giant lizards could easily take a good bite out of him-style cautious.

When he sees a blue hand emerge, and wave, he's going to pause though. Is someone trapped? Very carefully checking against the force, he doesn't sense any distress. "Hello? Are you alright?"

At that, Hecate sits up a bit, scattering crocodiles. They don't stay scattered, however, coming back to laze in her lap as if they're all a great group of dogs. Or mini Cerberii. Was that even a word? She wasn't sure, but she certainly wasn't going to worry about it.

"Quite all right! These are big babies! Aren't you?" she croons to one of them, which lifts its head so she can scratch it in just the right place, half-lidding its eyes in pleasure and letting out a noise like a boiler letting out steam.

"They're not exactly what I'm used to, myself, but they're definitely tame."

[lastpadawannomore]

"Oh well, good." He didn't have to play hero. "So far they've all behaved and been tame, but it's still unnerving to walk through a room full of lizards that can easily take a bite out of you."

[officedragon]

Hecate chuckled, then, grinning at the man. "Oh, they could try, but I might take that as a challenge, you know. They think they're going to close their jaws on a juicy piece of me...and poof! I'm gone!"

Ah, the joys of teleporting. It had gotten her out of more unpleasant situations, after all.

"Though I suppose you might have to worry about that more than I do." She gazed at the lazing crocodiles, one blue finger extended. "I'll be very cross if you bite my new young friend, so you'd best not!"
