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.

[ Everyone wants to date. ]

Well...aren't there a lot of humans who say bad stuff about each other? And mutants too. Neither side always does a perfect job.

Okay! Nobody's perfect, yeah! How is that an argument against what I said? I wasn't saying everyone's perfect.

[He's really frustrated by all you mutants right now!]

I just--I don't know!! You made it sound like humans were better and poor humans and you didn't care what happened to anyone else...

[ PEOPLE. People. Not mutants B( ]

I didn't say all humans are perfect! I argue with humans all the time. Lots of them are wrong.

[Many people are wrong all over!]

But...do you think they're better?

Uh... yeah.

[It would probably support his argument better if he was deceitful, but Eren is an honest young man.]

[ Probably...... ]

...Doesn't that make you the same as the people who think they're better than others? No one's better than anyone else. We're supposed to be equal...'least that's what my parents always say.

I don't think I'm better, either. I think I'm sick, and I need a cure.

What about people with different-coloured eyes?

Different-colored eyes don't kill people.

....Uhh, yeah they do. Or can. Whichever--the point is that the eyes and stuff is genetic too and that's not being sick!

Well, if people with different-colored eyes die because of it, we should try to help them too, and fix the gene if we can. Are you saying we shouldn't try to help people with genetic disorders? Like hemophilia and cystic fibrosis?

[Sorry, Sam, the Friends of Humanity make these kinds of comparisons all the time.]

[ EREN THIS ISN'T FAIR HIS EDUCATION IS LACKING EVEN AT THE BEST OF TIMES... ]

W...well....

[GOING TO FRIENDS OF HUMANITY SCHOOL GIVES YOU A SPECIFIC BUT INTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE SET.]

Even some cancers are genetic. But we shouldn't try to help those people either, is that what you're saying? Because their genes made them that way.

There are mutants with mutations that hurt them, or hurt those around them. They want to be normal again. Shouldn't we help them?

[ He's going to start thinking Eren's a genius. How dangerous. ]

O...of course we should help them! And the other people too!

[Well, Eren thinks he's pretty smart, thanks for noticing!]

Right! That's what we should do! These people need our help!

Yeah!

[ ...Err. ]

--But only if they want it!

I didn't say we were forcing people, did I?

There are enough people who want to be helped.

And...that's where someone like me comes in, right?

Yeah, right! You could help everybody. If we can get your power strong enough.

I wonder how I'm supposed to practice it... Should I just shake hands with a lot of people? Or like high-five them?

[Eren almost laughs at this.]

More like low-five.

[Get it, because you're short!!]

[ Sam would be so proud of son's first crack...if it wasn't over his height... ]

Geh--!

So you should stick with handshakes for now, unless you grow out of it.

[Ha! While Eren has the advantage, he is going to press it!]

I will!! I will grow out of it, and one day I'm going to shoot up like a tree--! A tree, you hear me?! Like eighty feet tall!!

[ What a bully...???? He's going to try and grow just to spite you Eren. He'll grow taller than you and look down on you and lord his height over you for the rest of his life.

That or buy platform shoes. ]
