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.

Cesare makes sure to listen very carefully to her, leaning in at all the right moments to show that he's being attentive.

"Well, I am far from some big producer, but the hotel lounge is always looking for singers..." he offers, giving her a small smile. It will keep her under his watchful eye and keep her out of trouble, he hopes. That's how it works with Cesare Borgia: make them like you then help them to the point that they can't think of an alternative without you.

Well. This is promising.

Imogen smiles excitedly. "Really?" Singing in a swanky hotel lounge beats the hell out of sitting on the pavement with a guitar and hoping it doesn't rain. And that was before she'd been attacked.

"When is the audition?"

"When works for you? I have a guy who manages it all, but I'm sure you'll be more than good enough." At least he really hopes so. Otherwise he's going to have to try and get her to sing as late as possible, during the zombie slots when everyone is either asleep or too drunk to listen.

"Just a formality really." For appearances.

"I can be ready any time." She needs this job. A place like this is bound to have some influential clientele, and if the gifts bestowed on her already by Cesare are any indication, the guy is loaded. Even if singing in his bar doesn't launch her to stardom, she doubts he'll leave her wanting for anything while she's working here.
