Test Drive 030

[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!

Immersive Fiction

Both the cinema and library are good places to relax and get immersed in yet a different world, wide open spaces to distract from the cramped living quarters of the train.

However something is going on it seems, these worlds may be more immersive than anyone planned. It might be a film or a book but passengers may find themselves inside the story. They might take the roles of the characters in the story or remain themselves and have to navigate a strange world. They might drift from story to story or find themselves stuck in one story and have to see it out until the end.

Friendly Competition

The lower floor of this carriage is open and sprawling, with two wide, low tables and plenty of cushions and beanbags. The walls are lined with shelves and wooden chests, both filled with games. Board games, card games, you name it, though train themes feature heavily. On a shelf of its own sits a case of Duel Monsters cards.

The upper floor is split into two. One half has a pile of oversized games - lawn jenga, twister, giant connect4 - and the other, sectioned off with soft rope barriers, hosts a screen, a console, and a variety of video game controllers, including four VR headsets.

Perhaps you’re testing yourself in one of the VR Crisis simulators. Perhaps you’re learning the rules of a competitive card game a little too well, and your friendships are suffering accordingly. Perhaps you’ve convinced someone to play twister with you..?

Meltdown

Jia is a snowy mountainous planet, sparsely populated and freezing year round. People live in tight knit communities eeking a living out of ice fishing. The planet is also home to the Crui, small blue furry creatures that live among the ice.



The planet has been under attack from a fleet of alien ships intent on destroying the natural ice seas to gain access to precious gems that lie buried underneath and hunting the Crui. The people of the planet have mounted a defence but there are not many of them and they have called for help.

Team One

The Crui are not fierce creatures and their instincts when hunted are to bury themselves in snow and wait for the danger to pass, this is ineffective against these new hunters. The people of the planet are trying to round as many up to move to a safe defend-able position. The Crui are timid but can be coaxed out with fish and hopefully led to safety. Gentleness is key, they spook easily.

Team Two

Work is underway to make a defensive area to protect the Crea and those who need it. It's a tough job, there are not many natural building resources on the planet and ice structures are less that useful against the invaders' machines. Help the people come up with a plan to keep everyone safe.

Team Three

The main issue with the invaders is their technology. They have mining equipment that can melt through huge chunks ice, causing untold damage to the world. The people here are pacifists and have asked that voidtreckers avoid killing the invaders if they can. Which means sabotage is the aim of the operation.
