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!

[Well, this sure reminds him of the Space Yakuza™ at home.]

I'm afraid not, although I've encountered a similar organization albeit in the Outer Spheres. I've become rather well-acquainted with one of their subsidiaries by now.

[Whatever that means. Although he doesn't seem too bothered about it either way, so. He looks a little amused at the thought of fighting while buzzed, though.]

I make it a point to stay sober when I'm on duty. Strategizing and mobile suit piloting aren't things that should be done with an unclear mind.

[ Good to know the family is getting on even with the development of space travel. As it should be. ]

Oh, yeah? [ He sounds almost legitimately interested, dang. ] You got Yakuza way out in space? Shit, ain't that somethin'. Must be one helluva future you come from.

[ I mean Japan sure as hell has not mastered space travel by '88 so he's just rolling with his assumptions here. The again he's got no clue what "mobile suit" has to do with piloting, so whatever. Of course if you said the word "gundam" he might end up fourth-walling you, so that's a thing. ]

Nah, see, the best ideas come to ya when you're not worryin' about whether things're gonna go right or wrong. That's when ya know you're having fun!
