Test Drive Meme 024

[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… A fairground

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.

How hard can running a fairground me? Well very hard when so much has gone wrong. Is it sabotage? Is it bad luck? Shoddy engineering? No mater what it is the important thing is rides are breaking, people are in danger, there’s temperature fluctuations in the fun house and the banshee in the ghost house won’t stop screaming. This is perhaps one of the more light hearted scenario’s in Crisis On but brings it’s own level of stress. Good luck keeping everyone safe and pacifying those angry guests.

Jam Session

Downstairs in the music carriage there are a variety of instruments. Mostly smaller instruments (a guitar is the largest instrument there). There are a couple of each type. There is however an entire box of recorders, another box of panpipes and a box of mixed small percussion instruments (symbols, shakers etc). There are music stands small stools to sit on are stacked along the wall. There are folders of various sheet music as well as some ‘learn to play’ books.

When there is only one practice room well then it is the perfect time to learn to play together. No matter the skill level, instrument or music preference. Playing music together is a good team bonding activity after all.

Or perhaps everyone is just playing their own thing, descending into chaos.

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.

Re: Jungle Heights - Team One

While the movement of the arrow is blindingly fast, once Freeza's line of vision catches it, his gaze follows it with no trouble, such that his eyes are on Yondu the instant it returns to his hand. Despite it being clear that he did move to accomplish this, one would have struggled to place exactly when that part happened.

The creature that had been coming for him drops, and the alien offers a solemn nod.

An interesting contraption. He would have to ask about it later.

[yondu]

Normal eyes usually couldn't follow the arrow, despite the streak it leaves, because he'd keep the trail so looped that the red formed weaved trails that sharpshooters were helpless to trace back to the source.

But Freeza's not normal by a long shot, he's never seen that species before, and he's not really worried about these monsters having snipers. So that means he doesn't have to worry about that as he laces the arrow between the trees, seeking out some of the creatures that lurk through canopy.

He ends up with his own trouble as one comes darting between branches. He's caught in the middle of recalling the arrow as it makes it to his branch, and he's getting ready to pull his knife out of his sleeve holster.

[hoardsrealestate]

When more begin to appear in greater numbers, Freeza briefly considers donning his raid form, but that is more suited to ground encounters involving multiple enemies. Really, at this point he would only be doing it to show off, and he can do that without transforming.

For now, work.

Well, a returned favor, anyhow. Freeza catches sight of the creature on Yondu's branch the instant it lands there, and with a heavy swipe of his tail he sends it flying and takes its place, for a second allowing gravity to affect him and gripping the surface with a foot as he balances himself.

[yondu]

Well, not many people on the train that can martial arts fight like a T-Rex and mid-air to boot. He catches his arrow as it makes the return.

"Thank ya," he says out loud, before gesturing loosely. "More comin'. Don't know whether they got a nest nearby or not. But they're sure pissed off with us bein' here."

[hoardsrealestate]

Freeza crosses his arms over his chest as he watches the foliage beyond, eyes seeming to dart to many different spots in rapid succession.

"So it seems," he muses; his tone is too nonplussed to seem terribly enthused or grim. "Did our orders include preserving a portion of the population, or no?"

Because parameters are parameters; he supposes if that is the case they shouldn't cut down too many.

[yondu]

"Yeah, generally it's frowned upon. Not that the train'd be pissed but it's not worth the trouble of listening to people be all pissed off."

He cricks his neck.

"Salright, if you can get some of the biggun's I'm good with detail work."

He whistles again, the arrow hovering in front of him and his fin strobing with light.

[hoardsrealestate]

For an instant, he has to wonder if he means the people they're with or the train itself -- an important distinction considering where he came from. Ultimately it will not matter.

No time to really think much of that.

Freeza steels himself to launch from the branch, ready for another round. "I will leave you to it, then."
