Test Drive Meme: February/March 2017
Welcome to the 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!
Note to current players: Activity in this meme counts as game canon! So you can use it for activity check. If you end up playing anything that you can't or don't want to use as game canon, it's fine to ignore it. (In that case you shouldn't submit it for activity check.)
Here are some prompts to inspire you:
1) SOMETHING NEW. Welcome to London! Spring is approaching but it's still bloody freezing, the wind is howling (are you sure it's the wind?) and your umbrella isn't much use when the rain is driving into you from the side. Maybe the appeal of a new experience is what brought you here. Does the reality match your expectations?
2) RUN THIS SHOW. You are the host of an event designed to showcase the particular skills and power of your people or faction. It can be small scale or ridiculously lavish, but this is your chance to enter the spotlight and show the supernatural community what you're made of.
3) CATCH ME IF YOU CAN. The police are after you. Maybe you did it, maybe you didn't, but they're on to you and now it's your job to make sure the case goes cold. Don't want to leave a supernatural paper trail.
4) WALK ON THE WILD SIDE. London's many parks are a haven for those who like some greenery in their concrete jungles. Popular and peaceful during the day, at night things are different. When the moon is full or the wind blows from a certain direction, the balance of magic can shift and open up ways into the far wilder woods of the Other Realm. Alternatively... you got really really drunk and passed out in a field.
5) BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK. Let's face it: you have a thousand reasons to be paranoid. Maybe the powers that be have it out for you. A werewolf or vampire wants to eat you. You pissed off a shapeshifter just last week. There's a hunter trying to kill you, a witch trying to control you, a fae that wants to kidnap you, a ghost haunting you. Hell, maybe they really are all out to get you. Are you in real trouble this time... or are you scared of your own shadow?
6) FOLLOW THE LEADER. Take your pick: your boss has ordered you to a) threaten an enemy; b) approach a potential ally who might side with you against a common foe; c) dispose of a dead body; d) deal with a spillage at table four. Good luck.
7) GO GO GO. There's nothing like a morning run. Maybe you're training for the London Marathon in April, maybe it's a good way of working out your hunting instincts, maybe you just like to keep in shape. Wait, did that guy deliberately overtake you? Don't get competitive now.
8) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Anything goes.
Wednesday Addams | Witch
[It was raining, this she could cope with. The sun shining while the rain tried it's best to make everyone appreciate the dull and the dark? That was too much for her. Her parsol was up, as the rain fell sideways into the ground as she walked along the busy London streets. So much hustle and bustle, so many people looking but never seeing, rushing their lives along to their inevitable demise, trying to while away the hours pretending that they were anything but alone. It was just as Mother said: London was a wretched hive, a hole in the world like a great, black, pit.]
[She was delighted to be here.]
WALK ON THE WILD SIDE
[An old tradition in the Addams Family states that when in the woods, women of their clan must be barefoot, to better connect with the Earth and the power that they draw from it. Which is why that Wednesday Addams was barefoot as she stood at the clearing of the trees, holding her shoes in one hand and dirt in the other]
[If she was to make London her new home, she would need to gather what she could]
BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK
[She was never frightened of things that lurked in the dark. The things that lurked in the dark knew well to be frightened of her]
CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE
[If you have an idea of something to do, I would be pleased to hear it!]
Re: Wednesday Addams | Witch
At last, night descends and Eponine can come out.That's what she hates, that feeling of being trapped all day, just waiting for the darkness. She will never, ever forgive Montparnasse for taking the sunshine from her.
She spits on the pavement, wishing that he was there to kick off at. She wishes more that there was a faerie nearby. She could do with a hit.
She wanders through the streets of London, not particularly doing anything much but daydreaming. She bangs her shoulder into Wednesday as she passes, and automatically, her fangs descend.
"Watch where you're going." She snaps.

"If you have to resort to that in order to scare off prey, I wonder how you've ever managed to feed."

"Now, get out of my face." She shakes her head, wraps her arms across her stomach, pulling her coat closer and makes to walk off.

"Whatever," she sighs. "Just leave me alone. Or I really will come after you. Drink you dry. You're not of the Fae, but I bet you'll give me a bit of a high."
