Test Drive Meme

THE "I'M WITH THE LEGION, I'M HERE TO RESCUE YOU!" MEME

The Time Trapper, the being responsible for bringing people into the Legion's universe, is up to some strange tricks! It's now creating illusions of alternate universes and dumping the Legionnaires into them to try to test them as Legionnaires. Each time this happens, the captives -- er, participants have knowledge of the scenario, their role, and what they're supposed to accomplish planted into their heads, but still remember who they once were. To complicate things, the Legionnaires from the 31st century aren't the only ones pulled into this adventure. Strange people from many worlds are being yanked in and finding themselves thrust right into the heart of these conflicts. These universes technically are just illusions (probably!) and all the participants have an inherent knowledge of this, but it's up to them if they believe it -- and the danger is real. If you die in one of these scenarios you stay dead. This time they're being dumped into a scenario where they're... ON THE RUN FROM THE EMPIRE! THE SETTING Cantos Vesa, a city on a desert world that's a seething hive of scum and villainy. An evil empire known The Authority has control of this world. Currently, the Authority's stormtroopers are chasing down individuals that they believe have secret plans to one of their ultimate death weapons, to bring them in for torture and interrogation before they can take the information to the resistance that has set itself against them. In this scenario, some individuals will find themselves being chased by the Authority's stormtroopers, despite their innocence, and despite not actually having any secret plans in their possession. Others will find themselves with innate knowledge that can be used to protect those who are on the run. Yet others may even find themselves turned into stormtroopers. Based on player preference, for the purposes of the meme, characters can either lose powers, retain their canon powers, or find themselves with new powers. It's up to you! Also, yes, you can have a lightsaber. Or a blaster. Go crazy! SCENARIO A You're on the run! Unfortunately, this little pocket universe has made you into one of the people being chased by the Authority. Even more unfortunately, you don't actually have any important information, have no idea where you are, and have no idea how to escape. With any luck, you'll come under the protection of someone willing to help you hide. Or perhaps you can hook up with another person the Authority is chasing for safety in numbers! SCENARIO B "Come with me if you want to live!" It may be a cliche but now's a good time to say it. You've found yourself with innate knowledge of this city and its hiding places, technical skills that can help you hide someone, and even connections among its imaginary residents. You still remember who you were before, but hanging around inside your brain is all the knowledge someone would have if they'd grown up here. And it sure looks like that poor person over there could maybe use a hand. They're being chased by stormtroopers and you may be their only hope! SCENARIO C Whoops, watch that aim! It looks like you're a rank and file stormtrooper in the Authority's army, tasked with spreading out and finding the person they're hunting. How did that happen? You have enough functional knowledge to not be pegged as someone who doesn't belong -- but you still have to be careful to not do anything to piss off your superiors. That's something that might be a difficult task if you happen to find who the Authority is searching for. If you want to prevent them from capturing someone innocent, you might have to get real creative to allow the target of their hunt to get away without getting caught helping them. SCENARIO D Wild card! Have an idea the meme hasn't suggested? Go for it! The sky's the limit. OOC INFO ✦ Current players in game can jump into this and do starters if they like so they can play with new players and each other. This meme will count as part of the game canon for those that opt in, though they'll find their memories somewhat fuzzy afterward. These threads can count toward your AC, however the "new CR" credit cannot be applied since not every character joining in is guaranteed to join the game. This takes place after "Where Angels Fear to Tread." ✦ Potential players can use this as a standard test drive and may use these threads as their samples. However, at least two posts in their threads must fit the requirements for apps, both in length (200 words) and in quality. These two posts can exist in any number of threads whether it's one thread or two. If you do plan on using a thread as a sample, please make sure the writing throughout your threads is a good example of your writing skills and has some solid examples of the character's voice. ✦ Potential players can also opt to keep these threads as game canon when they app in, so that their character remembers the scenario and then suddenly finds themselves in the game universe. However, this is opt in and players can choose to introduce their characters fresh if they'd prefer that and no other characters will remember they were there. Please just note which you'd like in the additional info field on your app. ✦ If you are considering apping to the game, currently 35 of 50 player slots are available. The character limit is 4 characters per player. You can also scope out some of the game's upcoming plots here. ✦ Non-players who like the meme but aren't really considering apping to the game are free to jump in. The more the merrier! The Time Trapper wants a confusing situation and will enjoy the chaos of lots of strange people trying to figure out what's going on.

Rich Rider / Nova | Marvel Comics (616)

B.

Rich didn't know what to make of all this. It was a grab bag of awesome and terrible.

Fortunately, the weird alternate dimension scenario seemingly removed all the injuries the Silver Surfer had dealt to him. That was a good thing. Definitely a good thing. Because it looked like there was going to be a lot of running involved and you kinda needed to be able to breathe for that kind of thing.

Unfortunately, it looked like all his powers had been taken away. Hooooray.

On the other other hand, he had a really cool blaster and a brain full of useful information.

And on the other other other hand, this was just like Space Wars. Yeah, he could die or whatever, but it was like Space Wars. Usually space wasn't actually like Space Wars and this was.

"Hey!" he called out to the person the stormtroopers were chasing, laying down fire to cover them. "Hey, you! With the lasers being fired at you! This way!"

The person being chased would be greeted to the sight of a massively large man with a robotic right arm, dressed somewhat roguishly, laying down blaster fire to try to help them.

Jack Frost | Rise of the Guardians

Scenario A

Good news, people could see him. Kids and adults.

Bad news, people could see him. And those guys in white armor were literally gunning for him. Jack flew through the city he was in, weaving around buildings, homes, anything to try and lose the them. They were everywhere! If they weren't chasing him in some kind of ship, they were on the ground shooting energy blasts at him. Although, he had to say, they were lousy shots. A few snowballs to the face knocked them clean off their feet, a blast of ice energy over there, and he was through another throng of them.

He was getting tired, though. He made be a child of winter, but he didn't have infinite energy. Manny wasn't around, the moon here a lot different, and the others were also gone. Which made sense given he was clearly not on Earth. The question remained, however. Just where was he?!

His bare feet smacked the top of the roof he'd landed on, rolling to absorb the impact and quickly ducking through an open window. It was abandoned and it allowed Jack to finally lean against the wall, breathing heavily and holding his staff close. He slid to the ground. What had he gotten himself into now?

Jotaro Kujo | Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable

A:

In coming to Morioh, Jotaro had expected there to be some trouble come his way, especially after finding out someone had been making new Stand users - and after one of them had blatantly threatened him to leave town. What he hadn't expected, though, was to find himself in a desert being chased by weird people in white armor.

Honestly, it reminded him of some of those old sci-fi movies his grandpa liked - though the soldiers looked more like a weird knockoff.

Either way, they were being a huge pain in the ass, and, y'know, trying to shoot and capture him. He assumed that he'd been pulled into some illusionary world by a Stand, and so didn't feel too terribly bad about dispatching the mooks as they got close. Those seeing this who had experienced weird, supernatural phenomena would see and hear a pastel purple ghost-thing hovering close to Jotaro and one-shot punching down the stormtroopers. To everyone else, it looks like some invisible force is taking them out as they get close.

Once the nearest group is clear, he turns and starts to run, making an annoyed face as he spots a gawker. "Get the hell out of the way if you're not going to help!"
