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.

[And here's one entranced younger student, leaning close to her screen and watching Deathtrap as it comes to life.]

... That is rather fascinating. You can bring your mechanical creations to life?

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

[Gaige grins widely and nods.]

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.]

[buzzkilldetective]

That's incredible... I'm almost envious.

[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.

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

Aw, shucks, I just got lucky. Think if I weren't any good at robotics, though...then I'd just be useless.

That's still cool, though, and really useful!

[buzzkilldetective]

Well, if you say so...

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.

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

Well, that's why we're here, right? To figure out how to use our powers better. Once you get used to it, I'm sure you'll be kick ass at whatever it is you do.

[buzzkilldetective]

... Right. Thank you.

[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.

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

Hey, when you get caught up, it happens. Nice to meet you, too! Okay if I call you Naoto? [She's culturally aware. Sort of.]

[buzzkilldetective]

Yes, "Naoto" is perfectly fine.

... I'm actually a rather recent transfer, myself. I just got settled in, in fact.

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

Well, that makes two of us, then! What grade are you in? I'm in 11th, myself.
