Test Drive Meme: April/May 2015
Update: 19/05/15: Looking for characters to tag you in advance of applying? Look no further than this volunteer list from our current batch of players who are willing to help out! NB. TDM threads are not necessary in order to apply. But you do need threads from somewhere, so feel free to start here.
Welcome to the first Underground test drive meme! This is where you can try out the AU version of your character, start some potential CR and get a feel for the world of the game. Choose your character's species, read up on the available factions and you're ready to go.
Put your character's name in your subject line when you post, tag out, and have fun!
Here are some prompts to inspire you:

Here are some prompts to inspire you:
1) START. Welcome, newcomer! You've just moved to London. Go see the sights, enjoy the Thought of the Day at the Tube station, take pictures of Buckingham Palace. Just try not to lose your way.
2) IT'S A HARD DOUBLE LIFE. So, you're trying out this "normal" thing. Pretending to be human, paying the rent, working or studying, having a drink at the pub, etc. You're trying, that's the point. But anyone can slip up...
3) RUN/CHASE. Whether you're hunting humans or other supernatural types, there's always a thrill in the chase. London at night is brimming with life and who knows what lurks out there in the darkest alleyways, the bars and clubs, parks or tube stations. Perhaps you're the one being hunted after all.
4) LIGHT IT UP. (30th April) The fire festival of Beltane is a time of celebration for witches, marking the beginning of summer. Come along to the bonfire for music, food and drink, flower crowns and fertility rituals.
5) SLIDING DOORS. (1st May) Beltane is also a time when the barrier between the human world and the Other Realm is at its thinnest, making it easy to pass from one realm to the other by chance. You might even have an encounter with the mysterious and mischievous fae.
6) ENEMY ENCOUNTER. Bad luck. You've come across a member of an enemy faction or species in a place you wouldn't expect. Maybe you're waiting for the same bus. Maybe they walked into your favourite café. Maybe – horrors – you work in the same office. This is going to be awkward.
7) FULL MOON. (4th May) Uh oh, it's that time of the month. Werewolves, have you been feeling more aggressive lately? A little short of temper? Better start preparing for your monthly transformation and hope that you don't get interrupted. And then there's the morning after, which feels like a massive hangover. Wait, where are your clothes?
8) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Anything goes.
Roxas | Kingdom Hearts | Meta-Human
[Roxas can be found in the library, reading.
It's not the most exciting thing in the world but it helps him keep his cool. He's been noticing it more and more lately, that weird things happen around him. He was annoyed at his brother yesterday and a light shorted out. Everyone said it was a coincidence but Roxas knows it was him.
It was the same thing when he's started that fire at school. Unintentionally, but again, he was mad and the next thing he knew the ground beside him was burning.
He's trying his best not to keep calm but it feels like the temperature has dropped in his corner and there's frost forming on the window. Considering that the library's at a reasonable temperature with no air conditioning, that's more than a little odd.]

Are you all right? It's freezing over here.
no subject
Damn, uh, sorry. I'm fine. I just...I need to leave.
[A bit distracted, he tries to gather his stuff. How did he not notice this?]
no subject
no subject
I just can't stay here anymore. It'll only get worse.
no subject
Ah, please wait! It's just that, well, I can help. Or rather, I personally can't help but I know people who can.
no subject
But something about the knowledge that he's not alone is helpful. That there are other people out there, like him, maybe? He's hesitant, but he has to start somewhere, right? Before he does something to cause actual damage.
Maybe he can at least hear them out.]
What...what kind of help?
[ooc: I'll be out of town over the weekend with iffy Internet, but I'd love to be able to continue this thread when I get back, if that's cool?]
no subject
Control over your powers for starters. Everyone has different abilities. Some people just have more difficult and stranger ones. Those people, people like us, need training. Otherwise... well, I'm sure you've been inconvenienced enough by your powers already. But please don't think that they're a bad thing. They're just uncontrolled right now.
[ooc: no problem! o/ backtags are cool with me!]
no subject
[It frustrates him more than he cares to admit, and he finds it hard to believe they're anything other than bad right now. But some control would be nice.]
Where do you get the training?
no subject
no subject
[A school for people with powers? Wouldn't someone have said something about it? If it was common enough that they needed a whole school...]
What do you mean? What world?
no subject
[Well, may as well just get on with it.]
Fairies, witches, vampires, werewolves... all that mythological stuff is actually real. I would have thought it was a bad joke, too, but it really isn't.
no subject
So my powers are magic? None of this seems real.
