This is for anyone wanting to test out their characters in the setting before the applications open, see what clicks. Multiples will be allowed for this post, and you can generally assume any threads are a self-contained continuity unless you feel like getting creative.
Just post a thread with your CHARACTER NAME and CANON NAME in the title with a prompt and others will reply. Prompts and threads can be action spam or prose or whatever. These threads can be used on the sample section of your application, as well. Go out and have fun! Feel free to consult the institute tour and dorm guide for setting info. We also encourage you to check out the "!!event" tag on the IC comms to brush up on the story so far.
Gaige | Borderlands 2
Hellooooo, Xavier Institute! Name's Gaige, I'm a new transfer student. I'm sure you guys care sooo much about that, though, so let's get to the part you DO care about! My mutation, aside from being awesome, is mechromancy! [She doesn't know that she can use it to affect living beings yet, though...so that'll be fun.] If you don't know what that is, let me demonstrate! [She points the camera at Deathtrap, her prized creation. She puts one hand on it and it seems to spring to life.] See? Cool, isn't it? I know, I know, don't be jealous.
Action:
[Gaige is in a common area, tinkering with her favorite robot: Deathtrap! It seems to have a mind of its own, but it can't speak -- Gaige didn't bother to make it talk. It does make grunts and noises, but nothing that can be deciphered as speech. She's really lost in her work, probably would be a good idea to NOT sneak up on her, though.]
I do amazing things and you get made awesomer because of that! [WHACK with a hammer. She seems to be fixing some dents in Deathtrap's armor.] You got pretty beat up, but I can fix that.

Plus I still got this. [She holds up her left hand and wiggles her fingers. It's pretty obvious her arm is fake.]

Don't pretend you know me, newbie.

Man, people like you are easy to figure out. Look at how you're acting now!

... That is rather fascinating. You can bring your mechanical creations to life?
no subject
Hey, you catch on quick! Anything I make comes to life, though ol' Deathtrap here is the best thing so far.
How 'bout you? What'd you get? [She's acting like it's no big deal at all...weird one, this girl.]
no subject
[Well, in a way, it really shouldn't be that big of a deal at this school, not when everyone has a mutation--or at least, that's how Naoto would rationalize it.] Ah... Mine isn't nearly as interesting. I have extremely heightened senses and eidetic memory.
no subject
That's still cool, though, and really useful!
no subject
My powers are a lot... "cooler" in theory than they are in practice. Too much sensory information tends to be more of a curse than a blessing when one cannot process it properly.

[She pauses for a moment, then remembers--] Ah, I completely neglected to introduce myself. I apologize. My name is Naoto Shirogane. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Gaige.
