Since we know a lot of people are ready and eager to start playing around in this setting, welcome to the official Airlocked Test Drive! For this test drive, we do have a posting format:

In the header of your comment, put your Character's Name and their Champion title. You don't have to put in the canon if you don't want, but you can if you feel the need.

And the guidelines we ask you to follow are, please try to include at least one prompt in your top-level to reply to, and if you make a top-level try to tag out to at least one other person. We want everyone to get a chance to give their choices a fair shake, after all.

Here are some examples to get you started:

A - Arrival
You wake up in a bed that's not your own, in a shiny chrome room that has bright fluorescent lights that light up along the floor as soon as your feet hit it and glowing sconces on the walls. Whether it's much different from what you're used to or not different at all, it's time to figure out where you are and more importantly, whether you're alone.

B - Mealtime
Well sweet, at least there's a cafeteria! But wait, it seems like there's only hot food during certain times of day. The rest of the time if you go foraging in the kitchen you can find weird silver packages with the name of food on the side that...definitely don't seem big enough to hold the food in question. If you open it up, it seems oddly dry...

C - Zero G
A zero gravity room! Awesome! The walls and floor are textured to give you something to hang onto to crawl across back to the control panel, but if you're floating in the middle of the room you might need someone to give you a push.

D - Holo Deck
A room where all your dreams come true. Kind of. In a photorealistic display of light and sound.

E - Anything else!
Or Create your own!

This is not an official reserve, nor does it guarantee a slot in the game, but if you do choose to app a character that you test drove, you can use two minimum 20-comment threads or one minimum 40-comment thread (so at least 20 total comments from your character) in place of writing a sample. So have fun with it!

[ ... He'll push up his glasses. ]

Allow me to explain something. ... Where I came from... the sun was actively harming people. Humans were unable to go above the ground. It would literally kill them. Turn them to stone.

... You don't seem very technical, but... that's fine. Just think of it like this: everything dried up. There wasn't any greenery. The few plants that did exist were hard to come by. As far as I know... that world is the truth. There shouldn't be any way someone could survive by farming. ... Does that make any sense?

[desperateprayer]

Th-That's... Not where I'm from... M-Maybe parts of Asmodean? B-But Elphegort's a very green country, from what I hear. I-I only know from my mother's maps...

[ She is just. Fiddling with her hair. She's also avoiding eye contact. ]

[honoraryembryon]

None of those names seem familiar to me, either... and I know pretty much all of the countries in existence right now.

[ He frowns a little bit. Is she some kind of AI, too? From a program similar to the Junkyard? ... Is that even possible? Or is she someone with implanted memories?

He has no way of knowing, right now, one way or the other. Still, he doesn't want to startle her, or make her more uncomfortable. He'll pause. ]

... Strange. ... Sorry if I made you uncomfortable, in any way. My name is Roland.

[desperateprayer]

I-It's all right, I'm... J-Just a Netsuma. You shouldn't... Concern yourself with me.

[ ...Sorry, dude, you look just enough like the chief that kind of wants her to work in his house at night that she's uncomfortable. ]

[honoraryembryon]

[ Whoa, that is a serious reaction. He's... feeling bad, like he did something wrong. Did he trip something to make her uncomfortable? What did he say? Normally he can read people better then this, but she's just... hard to get a read on, for him. ]

... Tough time, huh? ... That name... if it's supposed to hold some significance, I can't say that it does. You shouldn't put yourself down like that, when you've done nothing to be sorry for in the first place.

[desperateprayer]

Why... Are you being so nice to me...?

[ She doesn't understand. ]

Pale hair... Blue eyes... M-Most likely Lucifenian, r-right? Not Orthodox, but... Perhaps one of your parents...

[honoraryembryon]

[ A small chuckle. None of that means anything to him. ]

Those words... none of them mean anything to me, I'm sorry. My parents weren't those things, so... I apologize, but it's not a nationality I recognize.

[desperateprayer]

R-Really? Are you from across the sea, then?

[honoraryembryon]

... I think that would depend on if the words "Britain" or "United Kingdom" meant anything to you or not.

[ Because he has a small suspicion they don't. ]
