Test Drive Meme: August-September 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 potential players: Looking for an OOC space to brainstorm your AU? Head over to our permanent character workshop post to ask for feedback and share ideas.
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) WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE. Welcome to London! It's time to introduce yourself to your faction, to your fellow supernatural citizens, would-be friends, potential enemies... Will people quake with fear or awe when you enter the room? Or are you some nobody trying to make a name for yourself? Either way, gotta start networking.
2) THE RACE IS ON. The competition within your faction is even worse than the competition outside. That guy over there has turned sucking up to your boss into an art form. What about the woman who works out at 5am every morning and can probably punch through a wall? If you want to climb the ladder, you'd better start working harder.
3) THE WRONG DIRECTION. It's a big city and it's easy to get lost. Normally that's not such a big deal, but this time you've taken a wrong turn and ended up in hostile territory. If you're spotted by the wrong person, you could be in for a seriously bad time. Is there anyone around who can help?
4) NEVER LOSE CONTROL. You had one drink... or two... Maybe it's almost the full moon, or maybe there's some magic in the air messing with your hormones, but you're this close to going all out with your fangs or your claws or your magic. You need to get out of here, fast.
5) SWING IT, SHAKE IT. You've got a disco ball, a killer outfit and music so loud you can feel it pumping through the dance floor. Show the humans how it's done.
6) KARAOKE. It's karaoke night in one of London's favourite supernatural bars and that tone-deaf werewolf is hogging the mike again.
7) RUN AROUND. It seemed simple, right? One errand to run, just one. And yet the world seems to be conspiring against you. Your alarm didn't go off, you missed the bus or train, you got caught in traffic, someone spilled their drink on your brand new leather jacket, you tripped over and literally fell headfirst into a dumpster... Oh, God. Could this day get any worse?
8) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Anything goes.
Never Lose Control

Eponine's heart sinks as she pockets the coin silently. It is getting worse, her hunger. So desperate that she cannot tell the living from the undead. If Montparnasse were here, if any of the Patron Minette were here, they would laugh at her. How ridiculous, not recognising her own kind.
She licks her lips. "Two nights, three, Monsieur, perhaps. It is a long way to walk from Dover, and I have no protection from the sun." She shrugs, and turns away. His words make her think though.
"You know of me? From Paris? Are you Jean-Claude, Monsieur, or Monsieur Borgia?"
no subject
"You walked from Dover?" He sounds vaguely impressed. He did not know many vampires who would risk the walk, without already having secured places to stay when the sun was out.
no subject
"But perhaps you will know him, and say to him now? You won't tell on me, will you? Monsieur, I know you shan't peach on me." She shrugs again.
"If you are from Paris, if it were your home, you shall have heard of my clan? The Patron Minette?"
no subject
And then, a small laugh. "When I was last in Paris, it did not go by that name, and this... Patron Minette did not exist." When his Master had taken him from Gaul... Well, Godric had yet to return, apart from a brief time near Versailles during the Revolution. Perhaps he should visit again.

"My necklace is magic. He gives it me - my Parnasse. He gives it me so that I can feel the sun again, but he is cross with me now. There is no sun for me."
She shakes her head. "But of course, Monsieur, you must excuse me, for how silly I am. Of course he is not known as Patron Minette then. They change the name, of course, for they are criminals and villains all, to the humans at least. They hide in the Underworld, M'sieur. Such a gentleman as you should not know such people as me and my Master."
no subject
"I am no gentleman," he said. "I am simply... long lived."

"I will find a place, Monsieur. That, you do not need to worry over. I am so hungry that I will not go without tonight, that you must believe of me," she replies.
