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.

Right. 'Cause it's not like security breaches happen, or like there are any anti-mutants in our mutant-controlled government who'd totally leak a list like that in a hot minute even if it was supposed to be kept classified. That's believable.

And I'll feel so much better if someone murders my friends knowing it wasn't legal! Thanks for that, chuj.

Also? Still a bigot, and PS? Do you like even know what a species is? My parents are human, so why am I any less human than them?

[garganteren]

Oh, so I guess the government shouldn't know anything about us, because someone might break in and find it! Or print it. I wouldn't care if that happened, anyway.

People already murdered my friends and family, because there were no protections in place. Everyone knew they were human.

If that makes me a bigot, then I guess I am. You're not human because you've mutated! That's how it works.

[niepokonany]

Right, right, because our lives are meaningless unless you're talking about murdering us personally.

It's different. I mean, everyone knows my dad's straight, but if a jackass psycho who happened to be gay killed him, we wouldn't be like "wow, gay people are a threat to straight people!" I mean, some people would, but they'd be stupid jerks, and anyone who wasn't a stupid jerk would be all "wow, that one guy was a psycho and that's terrible!" But if you outed me in front of everyone in the world and I got killed by homophobes? That'd kind of be more like what we're talking about here!

You are a bigot. It's kinda gross.

[garganteren]

Being gay wouldn't give that guy the power to rip your dad apart in front of your face and never get caught!

Gay people aren't a threat to straight people, and if someone tried to kill a gay person, I'd kill them!

[Because that's clearly the rational answer. But Eren obviously isn't being rational right now. His pupils are dilated, his breathing rapid, and sweat stands on his face as his body temperature rises. He's giving off heat now. The skin on his face starts to ripple and striate.

But probably Professor Xavier or another telepath will gently knock him out before he does anything like transform.]

[niepokonany]

No, but buying a gun could make him more deadly than most mutants, without putting him on any kind of publicly available list, and he'd have done it on purpose and not been born that way!

[Feliks really should be paying attention to these obvious, flashing warning signs. He isn't.]

haha that other account doesn't work for this

[garganteren]

If you want a list for people who buy guns, that's got nothing to do with this! Why don't you go and get one made? But you won't, you're just going to complain about "mutant rights".

Who cares if they're born that way? They still need to be kept in line!

[Steam starts to rise from him and the skin around his eyes is beginning to resemble ropes. How good are Feliks' powers of observation?]

[niepokonany]

[When he's mad? Nnnnnot very.]

We're people, and we deserve rights! You can take that line you want to keep us in, bundle it up, and shove it!

[garganteren]

You're not people, not like humans are! You're just too selfish to do what's right! Not like me, I—

[Whether Eren was actually about to transform or not, even a few moments in his other form can mean the destruction of property and, more importantly, lives. The transformation is so quick and so severe that anyone standing near him can easily be crushed to death. Whoever is monitoring Eren telepathically notes the signs and takes action. He suddenly shudders and falls over, lying still on the ground, unconscious.

The faint traces of steam quickly dissipate, but it takes longer for the odd, ropy texture of his flesh to smooth over.]

[niepokonany]

[...Well, that's unsettling on a number of levels.]

[He's just gonna... he's just going to go hug his loved ones.]

[Yeah.]
