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!

... of course you're actually from some fantasy world. Alright.

[ SHE SIGHS. ]

I haven't seen them. Sorry, uh...

[ She scans the profiles on her PIP, and...... ]

... Taako.

[goodouthere]

Hell yeah I am, we're full of fantasy up the wazoo.

[Look you can't slap "fantasy" before a shitload of nouns and not know you're from a fantasy realm. It just happens to be normal.]

That's my name, don't wear it out.

Except uh, nah, do wear it out, just tell like absolutely everyone. I'm all for spreading the word, y'know.

[ DESPITE HER APPEARANCE, SHE FINDS THIS ELF CLOSE TO ENDEARING but she does get less Salty Hacker at this point ]

Do they have burritos in your fantasy world, Taako?

[goodouthere]

[That just gets a blank look... maybe. It's hard to tell when it always sorta seems like he's got a blank look going on.]

Can't say that's ringing any bells. Sort of a random question, isn't it? Not that I ever object to random, but still, my curiosity has been piqued.

[leatherandlovelace]

You take meat and beans and rice and stuff and wrap them in a tortilla?

[ All the syllables in the world clearly happened to wrap into a great coincidence, holy shit. ]

We have something similar to them called a taco where I come from, hence my question, but if someone asked me "do you have kinzies where you're from" it would've confused me. Probably.

[Taako's actually gone sort of quiet now and goddamn if that's not an achievement. There's a quizzical look in his eyes, because well there's still some thing here he's not clear on, but more than that...]

A... tortilla?

[There is some intense damn curiosity going on here.]
