This is for anyone wanting to test out their characters in the setting before the game opens, 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.

Action

[Dio is sitting in a common area, reading a book. Though his physical stature is imposing, his body language isn't nearly as off-putting. His focus isn't fully on the book, naturally. It would be best to approach with caution, but his demeanor lets on nothing of the sort.]

((Mostly a voice test.))

[Terezi doesn't go outside much but she has a good reason for that. She can't stop herself from adsorbing solar energy which powers her eye lasers. So it's something she has to be careful about. So instead she can be fond in the student lounge playing something on her shiny PSP.]

[twowords]

[This Texas boy is standing outside the school's front entrance with his bags around his feet seemingly talking to himself.]

No, I don't care how many priority kill threats you're picking up, it took me a twenty minutes to convince my mom I didn't need her to come in with me, if you start blowing things up she's just gonna come back.

[He's silent for a second]

All establishing my destructive potential as a first impression is going to do is land me in jail, detention, and permanently exiled to sit by myself at lunch!

[wickedwe8weweave]

[She's standing somewhere near the entrance smoking, visually hidden. She peers around the pillar she's been leaning against and raises a brow.]

Talking to yourself is a sign of madness y'know.

[twowords]

[Jaime jerks a little at the sudden person, though to his credit he doesn't yelp or anything]

I'm not talking to my-well, okay, yes, I am technically talking to myself, but I-

Hold on one second while I figure out a way to explain this that doesn't make me crazy.

is tht evn englsh???

[wickedwe8weweave]

[She takes one more drag of her cigarette before dropping it and stomping it out. After which she crosses her arms and leans against the pillar as she eyes him with her good eye.]

You don't have to explain. [She grins, showing a fang as she taps the side of her head. Although the grin fades fairly quickly.]


((I'm going to assume that whatever you're going with for the Reach armour is going to make it hard for Vriska to actually get in his head.))

-Now in a much more natural environment, Hugo is outdoors where most comfortable. He's decided the knoll beside the boy's dormitory is the perfect place for an after-class nap. Though he's snoring a bit...-

Should you really be doing that at a school?

[Jaime Reyes folks. Meets a girl with fangs, worries about smoking on school grounds.]

Really? I mean, I guess this place probably has a lot of weird stuff going on and-

[He stops with a wince, grabbing his head]

Please stop trying to read my mind. It's rude, and it gets my roommate all agitated and trigger happy.

((Jaime's power was tech absorbing, but he overloaded it on his first time out in the middle of an Avengers/Doom battle and got a bunch of top secret tech welded together into armor he can summon with a homicidal AI. He can't absorb new tech, but he does have the armor))

Holy fucking shit. Typing isn't that fucking hard!!!!!!!!
May8e use a mic instead.
Geez, it's not hard to figure this shit out.

[wickedwe8weweave]

[She scowls, boy he's a real buzzkill.] Doing what?

[Make that a fanged girl with blue-grey skin and pointed ears.

Her smirk returns.] Oh, ho! Trigger happy? That sounds like a delight!

TH3N US3 A M1C DUNGBR41N!!

[gwanga]

-Which he does! ... after someone else points it out for him. His accent is pretty thick, but he's otherwise a lot easier to understand than his typing.-

Learning English on top of learning computers is a bit trying.

[network]

[gwanga]

hey dnt b a jrk ths is hrd, ok

[twowords]

[He tried for the Blue Buzzkill actually, but would you believe it was taken?] Smoking. Second hand smoke can stunt kids lung development. I saw it on the Discovery Channel, so you know it's true.

[Hey, he was raised not to judge on appearances] Delight is not an adjective I would use. Scary and avoidable are better ones.

[wickedwe8weweave]

Actually, no it 8n't.
If you know your A8C's then you should 8e a8le to figure out how to type.

[gwanga]

wat

y r thr so mny 8s.

[wickedwe8weweave]

[She rolls her eye before giving a snort.] And your point? Maybe I have a healing factor so it doesn't fucking matter? [She doesn't but man does she wish she did.

He'd be one of the few she's ever met that was raised that way.] Maybe I take delight in seeing blood and guts and massive amounts of destruction?

[wickedwe8weweave]

[Do you know how painful it is to type a B for her? Incredibly but she's going to do it...]

They 8n't 8's they're B's. Except "8n't" is ain't.

[tippedscales]

[She would be nice enough to drop the text and go to voice or video but yeah, she's decided she doesn't like him.]

[wickedwe8weweave]

[So guess who's back. If you guess a certain blue-grey skinned fanged "elf" with a 'tude, you'd be right. She's chilling somewhere in the shadows outside, hunched over trying to light a cig.]

Damn wind, fuckin' stop. I just wanna smoke.

Augh! Fuck you nature!!! [Throwing her lighter because that seems like the best idea right now.]
