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, as well as the weekly updates to make sure you have all your ducks in a row.

Slayer | Guilty Gear

A - Action

[The courtyard's fountain had always been Slayer's favorite spot since he was hired on. It gives him the perfect atmosphere to write his poetry, or at the very least come up with an assignment that the students will actually turn in. He debated over having them write and recite their own works versus a short story. Both would focus on creativity, but motivating them was proving to be more taxing than he thought. He lit up his pipe and looked at his own blank sheet of paper. Soon, the poem came flowing through him...]

B - Video

Good morning, students.

[It's after ten in the morning. He's not getting up early for you guys. In the back, you can see a very clear haiku:

Mother Gorilla
Flying at the Speed of Light
Into an Overhead Throw

And welcome to my creative writing class. For now, I'll introduce myself as Slayer, but Mr. Slayer will work.

We'll open with a short quiz regarding the creative process. It won't be for a grade, but more to get an idea of what your goals are for this course. I look forward to seeing what your imagination has to offer.
