THE TEST DRIVE MEME

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!

We also ask that you please pardon our dust. We're working very hard to get this game up and running and hope to be open by September 1st!

But, ah, pardon the omission, I'm honestly still adjusting to being... unknown, so to speak. It's... I suppose you'd sum it up as 'plasma generation.' ...possibly a bit excessive for making toast, not much help with the weather."

"I've been out of the loop for five years, I'm still adjusting to that little detail," adjusting to things seems to be the theme at this school. Moreso compared to previous years.

"On the plus side, I can just skip to the really talented people who were in the finals, and then see how their career didn't take off!" See, there's a silver lining to this torrential thunderstorm that is her life.

"Ah... yes, I suppose that's true. I believe one or two have remained a bit popular afterward, but they do tend to fade away once they're on their own. Sadly, a number of quite talented people seemed to be ousted for the very eccentricities and deviations from the mold that made them rather interesting. ...but perhaps that's an inherent danger of making popularity one's mission."

...which might be an odd statement, since he doesn't exactly send Loner Outcast Nerd Vibes, himself.
