Test Drive 033
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!
Colour Wheels
The passengers of the Voidtrecker Express have been requesting an art carriage for over a year, and now that one has been provided, it's overflowing with supplies. Not just the paints, minerals, fabric and other materials that came with the carriage itself, but the cases and bags full of arts and crafts materials from a variety of passenger worlds.
Some are mundane - oil pastels, bright skeins of cotton thread, primed canvases and blocks of white clay. Others are enchanted - sparkling squares of soft fabric, wooden beads that hum a note when strung with others. Talismans that animate the mannequins– hm, those shouldn't be here. In any case, there's more than enough here to be getting on with!
Second-Hand Embarrassment
Valentine's Day isn't generally celebrated among Void-capable peoples. The literature is divided as to why this might be, but when the Voidtreckers awaken one day to find the entire train bedecked in pinks and reds, paper hearts littering the aisles, they might be closer to working it out. Someone must have suggested it to the train.
Not only has the train embraced the concept, but throughout the day, the ICPs ring out with announcements - valentines messages between Voidtreckers. Did either Voidtrecker ask for this announcement? Unknown. "Attention, passengers. It has come to my attention that [name] has strong feelings for [name]."
Minor Inconvenience
The Voidtreckers have been landed on Fero Minor, a small, out-of-the-way world, with the sole brief of ensuring that the Fero High School festival is a resounding success. The brief is also entirely up-front about why this is so important - Fero Minor exists as a prison for a being so powerful that their wishes become reality and their dislikes are immediately unmade. Or, rather, an infant form of one. While not quite that powerful yet, the being has developed a fixation on a cultural school festival, and if it doesn't go as they hope, the world will collapse in on itself and all life will end.
The instability of the Fero entity has led many of the hired citizens of the world to leave before their contracts are up, and the festival is chronically short-staffed.Team One
This team is responsible for manning the haunted house. Or, in fact, the actual pit of ghouls and ghasts that a section of the compound has become under the force of the entity's enthusiasm. The monsters must be kept within their area, kept under control… or perhaps slain, and the Voidtreckers replace them as the terrifying haunts of this attraction.Team Two
For a festival running out of staff, there sure are a lot of food stalls, and just as many game kiosks. Team two must man both of these - there are ingredients and materials aplenty, at least. Pick something you can cook, or set up a trial or minigame. Or, instead, mill around and try out other stalls. The festival would look weird without customers, after all!Team Three
Of course, the triumphant finale of any festival - the entity has decided - is the performance. Team three must plan, rehearse and put on a show to be remembered, whether that be a play, a gig, a talent show, or something entirely different. Stage fright need not apply - if this show is a bust, it's bye-bye Fero Minor.

[A Ghoul that tried jumping Nia meets an unceremonious demise on her sword.]
Erebus?

She shakes her head, "Who would be less annoying, but I have killed it several times and as long as mortals wish for their own demise due to despair..."
She spins and with an annoyed look punches a ghouls square in the mouth, breaking all of its teeth.
"It keeps getting better."
no subject
[She can't help but think of Amalthus in that moment. A man so devastated by the horrors he'd seen that it drove him mad. And from Amalthus came Malos, a being that existed solely to end all life on Alrest.
There was Herald too, who was so afraid of her own power that she'd tried to drain herself of ether so much she could never be Awakened again. And... Pyra and Mythra, who'd gone all the way to the World Tree so they could ask the Architect to let them die.]
Can't say I know the feeling myself, but... I know a few people who do. Some of them moved past it, others... didn't.
no subject
She then kicks the ghoul she punched in the face down sighs.
"I do not know the feeling either, but... I am not a mortal."

[The ghouls get blasted back by a wave of water to give some breathing room.]
Blades... normally, we don't die. When we or our Driver take a fatal wound, we just go back to our Core Crystals. We lose our memories, but another Driver can reawaken us in a few days just fine. But even with that, I once met a Blade that came out of her Core Crystal wanting to die. Thankfully, she's one of the ones who moved past it, with a bit of help.
My appologies for the slow delay
She looks up for a second, "I wonder if that is why my siblings and I were never granted the full understanding of humanity's souls."

She shrugs a bit, "Still. I thought we were on a train, does it also turn into a boat?"
