THE TEST DRIVE MEME




Hello, True Believers!

This is for anyone wanting to test out their characters in the setting before the applications open, see what clicks. Multiples will be allowed for this post, and you can generally assume any threads are a self-contained continuity unless you feel like getting creative.

Just post a thread with your CHARACTER NAME and CANON NAME in the title with a prompt and others will reply. Prompts and threads can be action spam or prose or whatever. These threads can be used on the sample section of your application, as well. Go out and have fun!


Be sure to read up on all game information and the "!event" tag to make sure you have all your ducks in a row.

I imagine a great many martial arts are. Granted, I don't know too terribly much about aikido, either.

Yes, that's very true! I suppose I meant that it can be a good fit for all sorts of people. It doesn't rely on strength and it tends to have natural movements. Plus it combines very well with aikido, which primarily focuses on redirecting your opponent's movements rather than opposing. I'm not very tall, but because of aikido I can handle someone who is much bigger than me.

I'm almost jealous of you. Being able to do all of that, you must be an extremely disciplined person.

It's a good thing you're keeping the halls safe, right?

[And English is NOT Rinka's first language, so that makes it even harder to understand textual humor.]

It is hard sometimes, waking up to do my morning run, but you can only improve if you put in the effort.

I want everyone to feel safe here. It just so happens my skills are good for that.

Does it keep you happy and not just busy?
