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!

[tacomeme]

No! No... I'm fine...

[He tucks himself further against the far wall, like an untrusting animal]

[nojohnyouare]

...

[Mai stops where she is and starts to look around the holodeck, as if checking if there's anything else still in there. She raises her sword, though not in Takumi's direction.]

[tacomeme]

[He's confused at what she's doing at first... but when he realizes he turns even redder, embarrassed]

No- there's nothing else here. We're safe. I... damn it. I sleepwalk, okay? I think I came in here while asleep and probably told it to make something I didn't want to see. Th-that's all.

[nojohnyouare]

[She pauses, looks back at him, and lowers her plastic sword.]

Nothing attacked. ...Nobody.

[As if she needed to be reminded. The danger here was people, not "things."]

[tacomeme]

Yeah. Nothing... nothing real anyways.

[He sighs, annoyed with himself]

Just all in my head, so don't worry about it.

[nojohnyouare]

[Mai walks over to him slowly and offers out her hand. Even if there's a weird, spreading bruise, like an infection, coming out from under her sleeve.]

You should rest.

[tacomeme]

[He hesitates at the bruise- did she hurt herself? But takes her hand regardless, hauling himself up]

Heh, rest is what got me here. But thank you. I'll try. Are... you okay?

[nojohnyouare]

[Mai looks at her hand and frowns.]

They've been spreading again. They were all gone when I got here.

[tacomeme]

Are you ill?

[If she wasn't overtly hurt that's the only other option he can think of]

[nojohnyouare]

Back home. Every time I killed a demon, these would appear. But I haven't...
