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!

[Her eyes light up in some sense of recognition.]

Sideburns, did you say? Hm...

[And it's gone in an instance, replaced by a mischievous smile.]

Yeah, nope! None of the above! Sorry, buddy! But oh, do let me know if you've happened upon a dastardly and rather busty daemon or a somewhat annoying twintailed exorcist. They're probably crying out in despair, "Oh, Magilou! What will we ever do without you, Magilou?" Like that.

[Enjoy this overly dramatic witch with pointy ears? Or at least tolerate her. That's what most people do.]

[goodouthere]

[He gives a bit of a dry look at the misdirect there, but hey, he doesn't necessarily hate the attitude here.]

Sounds like quite the little gang you've got there. A real ragtag bunch, but, well, isn't it always? I feel you, though, I'm sure my gang is missing me something awful. I mean, who wouldn't.

Guess they'll just have to sit tight for now.

[mayvin]

Well, I wouldn't, but that's pretty obvious, huh?

[She says with a full smile.]

I mean, I have absolutely no idea who you are! Not that it'd make much a difference, you know, but to stand in front of the magnificent Magilou without introducing yourself? Pshah! Who do you think you are? You're certainly not an exorcist!

[goodouthere]

Nah, exorcism isn't really my-- well, not my standard gig, I'm known to dabble in whatever. The name's Taako, I'm a wizard. Champion Wizard, apparently, according to these little profiles.

Hah, I should get that printed on a business card.

[mayvin]

Champion Wizard, huh? Looks like I have some competition then...

[Magilou curtsies, ending with a Magikazam pose.]

You happen to be speaking with the Champion Witch, Mazhigigika Miludin do Din Nolurun Dou! Or Magilou for short, as you already know.

Although you're lucky the Abbey isn't around to hear about you dabbling as an exorcist! Why they might just burn you at the stake! Oh, that's more my thing, isn't it?

[goodouthere]

Hot damn, okay. You should not put all that on a business card. Talk about a mouthful. But hey, witch, huh? That's pretty cool. You got any specialties, or...?

Well, only so much dabbling as "I fought some ghosts once". But that counts, right? Pretty sure that counts.

[mayvin]

Hm, yeah, I don't think that counts. I mean, exorcists are all about fighting daemons and purity and being all high and mighty! They're quite different from a witch, or a wizard, in that regard.

As for my specialties, well, magic, obviously! I could go on and on about my dear little Guardians, or my not so dear Malak, but I'm also the leader of the famed comedy troupe, Magilou's Magnificent Menagerie! We'll be here all week. Or however long it is we're here.

[goodouthere]

Right, see, I think we're working with some, ah, some regional differences in terms here. Definitely don't have those sorts of exorcists in my neck of the woods.

[Different... region, plane, whatever, who cares.]

There's another good example of that, actually, 'cause I was more wondering what school of magic, but I'm getting the vibe that maybe I'm thinking about it the wrong way. But never mind all that! Comedy troupe, eh? Hell yeah, I always got mad respect for fellow performers.
