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!

It was like this when I woke up, so I really have no idea.

[thetempestsync]

Of course you don't.

[ ... so it seems losing an arm or two may or may not be a worry while he's here--okay you know this is a good time for a subject change even if he's terrible at being polite. ]

What's your name anyway?

[perfectmoebullseye]

Believe me, I want to know what's going on with it more than anyone else, especially with these bracelets we can't remove.

[were they, like, fucked up experiments

...

she wouldn't be surprised, i mean]

Anyway, I'm Sola-ui Nuada-re Sophia-ri. Charmed, I'm sure.

[thetempestsync]

Let's try to find out soon before it's too late.

[ ... The kidnapping to him not only reeked of wonderful (not) memories, it was definitely something like a preamble to something fucked up for sure. ]

I'm called Sync. I don't have anything quite as fancy-sounding, and that said I think I'll just stick to calling you 'Sola' instead of...all of that.

[ Insert brief hand gesture here as he says the last sentence. ]

[perfectmoebullseye]

Well, at least you're not a Nigel or anything. That would completely throw me off.

And no, I don't really expect anyone to throw out the whole thing all the time.

[thetempestsync]

... I think if someone tried to insist on bestowing me something as stupid as that I'd throw them out the nearest window.

[ Congrats, though, that gets him to snort. ]

[perfectmoebullseye]

Right. I don't understand why people continue to name their children that, given that it seems like you're setting your child up for a life of disappointment.

[thetempestsync]

Hmph, your guess is as good as mine. Though, I did think of, 'because they have no other options left' and 'have little creativity remaining in what's left of their brains'.

[ Nice people saying wonderful things... ]

[perfectmoebullseye]

Or it's a family obligation, because if they don't name their firstborn Nigel their uncle will never speak to them again.
