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!

[She hadn't even thought of that. Not that there was a whole lot she could do without her wand and even if she had it she was no duelist. Besides if she couldn't hear anything there were probably some sort of magic dampening wards in place.]

Do you even have a wa- uh weapon? [The concept of physical violence is so foreign to her she forgets that no-majs have things like guns and knives instead of spells.

Not that any of this is deterring her from pushing onward.]

[tacomeme]

No, they took everything I had. Even my bow. I can fight hand to hand if I have too but... If they have Tomes or Staves we could be dead before we'd even get in range.

[goteachother]

[Welp this is her stopping midstride to turn and look at him, confusion written clearly on her face.]

Bow? [What? Okay "Tomes" sounds an awful lot like somethin Magical but he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about because the books aren't the worry. Still...] You didn' have maybe a gun or somethin?

[Not that she wants to have to shoot someone (she wouldn't even know which end to hold, honestly) but if he's so worried about getting attacked...]

[tacomeme]

No...? Gun? I'm not sure what you mean. Is that a weapon?

[Does Bowfaire work on a Glock?]

[goteachother]

[Head. Tilt.

Okay how can he be a no-maj and not know what a gun is? Or be a wizard and not know who Grindelwald is?]

You sure you're feeling alright, honey? [Yes, Takumi, she's actually reaching up to feel your forehead.] Where're you from anyway?

[tacomeme]

[That touch on his forehead is so familiar- it reminds him of his mother. This woman is much too young for that, but it makes him pout regardless. He's not sick!]

I'm fine! And I'm from Hoshido... what about you?

[goteachother]

Hoshadow? I ain' never heard of it. That somewhere in Asia? [Really it's impressive that she knows that much, even, but she tries to keep up with the broader impacts of what's happening in the world because of Tina.]

Oh! New York City.

[tacomeme]

I... hmm.

[He cups his chin. Her mentioning a weapon and a city he doesn't know? He's well read and could name all the countries on the continent and a few from across the ocean.]

I think we might live very far apart.... I've never heard of that city anymore then I have a 'gun'. And I'm pretty good at geography.
