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.

They should find out, then! I'm not the one planning the MRA. I just support it. I don't know how they're going to do it.

It's not stupid if you are dangerous. And they could do that only with the really dangerous mutants, like the ones who can kill people with their minds or blow up buildings.

[Or the people who can shapeshift and rob banks!!!]

I want it because it's the right thing! For everyone's good! If the registration act does get made a law, I'll be the first one to sign up!

[He means this 100%, sadly.]

They're going to do it by forcing everyone to come out and just suffer the consequences of people not liking mutants. Why would anyone who's actually dangerous sign up? You're just proving you're a doormat to them and they won't have to worry about you.

[She may have literally destroyed cities before but geez, she has standards.]

They might as well just have a registry of all the mutant criminals they've captured, even if someone can blow up buildings with their mind it doesn't mean they will.

[It's almost like people don't trust a person who can literally kill thousands out of sheer willpower!]

[garganteren]

Obviously some people will sign up as a gesture of good faith, but the really dangerous ones will have to be found out and hunted down. I'm not a doormat. I think it's the right thing to do! That's why I'll sign up.

Of course they should have a mutant criminal registry, too. That would be the most important part. Maybe—the people who haven't actually done anything could be on a list only the government can access...Maybe.

Like terrorist watch lists!

[He knows all about those, having been raised by people who were on them.

And yes, he doesn't trust someone like that at all!]

[beastofgloreth]

You are a mutant. How do you seriously believe mutants are all disasters waiting to happen???

[THE FACT THAT SHE DEFINITELY IS ONE IS BESIDE THE POINT.]

[garganteren]

I know I am!

[And he doesn't like it, so you don't have to keep reminding him about it!]

And I don't think all of them are. Just a lot of them.

[The ones with really weak powers are probably not going to do anything too bad. Not that he exactly trusts them, either.]

[beastofgloreth]

How about a lot of people are disasters waiting to happen? It's not the government's job to decide who's going to be a villain and who isn't! Just because we're mutants doesn't mean we're terrorists!

[She's actually VERY FORCEFUL about this point. Her not-dad has had a lot of trouble with governments.]

[garganteren]

But a mutant disaster would be a lot worse! It's harder to stop them from doing things, and to trace them. They still haven't caught the mutant who killed the president. So something needs to be done! A lot!

The government puts people on the terrorist watch list all the time. Even when they didn't do anything. Stop asking for special treatment.

[Because that's what mutants do, right?]
