The "Life Finds A Way" Test Drive 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 placed in their heads, 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 everyone is being dumped into a scenario where they're dealing with... THE SETTING At its opening, the Cretaceous Days amusement park was considered one of the most technologically advanced amusement parks ever created. The technology of the United Planets was advanced enough to allow for the cloning of a variety of prehistoric species from many worlds, from Earth's ancient, feathered dinosaurs to the scaly pretorians of Colu's past. Now the park has broken down and the animals have gone out of control! With electric fences failing, forcefield walls going down, and all protective technology being mysteriously disabled, everyone in the park is in danger. Dinosaurs from Earth's ancient history are running wild here, but prehistoric animals from other worlds are just as vicious and ferocious. While this is possibly one of the Time Trapper's strange pocket dimensions, this dimension is very similar to the game universe, and whether or not the sentient beings in need of saving are real or not is impossible to tell. It's a bad idea to risk not helping them in case real lives are on the line. 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. SCENARIO A: RAPTORS Forget velociraptors, herds of larger Deinonychus are now freely roaming the park. Dangerously intelligent, they're hunting in packs, and smart enough to use various tactics to herd and surround their prey. Places like the vast indoor food court and gift shops can sometimes be used against them, since they provide hiding places, vents, and areas that can be closed with doors. The deinonychus aren't the only things that can work in numbers. Perhaps if you team up against them you'll have a chance of survival. SCENARIO B: GIGANOTOSAURUS The T-rex's bigger cousin, a Giganotosaurus is now rampaging around the park, and it has one hell of an appetite. Perhaps you can escape by climbing up a tree taller than it and jumping from tree to tree to safety. Or maybe you might figure out a clever way to trap it once more. Whatever the case, if you don't successfully stay out of its reach, you'll wind up its dinner. It's a good thing you don't have to face the hulking monster alone. SCENARIO C: ALIEN CREATURES Dinosaurs aren't the only prehistoric animals rampaging around the park. The tentacled let'ek of Omiclon 6 might try to choke the life out of you. Or you might find yourselves mesmerized by the hypnosis powers of the blue-billed Stenothians from Winath's ancient times. (Players may make up any ancient alien creature they like for a scenario and make up ways for it to be defeated.) SCENARIO D: PROTECTING CIVILIANS Personal survival is important but most of the civilians trapped in the park don't have a chance of escaping the many creatures that are now loose -- unless you work together to give them one. There are shelters and safe places they can be taken to, and even places where you can find small escape ships to evacuate. SCENARIO E: WILD CARD! There are all different threats and objectives possible within the park. Perhaps you have the technological skills to turn on the safety protocols in each of the sections of the park, one by one -- but only if you can get to the manual consoles. Perhaps you can tame some of the more docile creatures and use them as mounts or convince them to attack the predators threatening you or civilians. Maybe you can find a way to safety through some of the automated systems that handle feeding (or waste processing) but can't get through the dangerous obstacles in them without the help of a new ally. ✦ 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 before "In Brightest Day." ✦ Potential players can use this as a standard test drive and may use these threads as their log samples. However, at least one post in their thread must fit the requirements for apps, both in length (200 words) and in quality. 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 25 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 to get an idea of what kind of plots are in the game and what's to come. ✦ 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. |
Son Goku | Dragon Ball | Scenario B (Giganotosaurus!)
"Wow, you're a big fella, huh?" Goku floats around its head, almost like an especially annoying fly. The longer he distracts it, the more time there is for park-goers and employees to escape, and since this one seems to be the biggest threat, he figures he should handle it.
The giganotosaurus roars, clearly fed up with this treatment. Grinning, Goku gets into a fighting stance - sure, they had been instructed to avoid damaging the park's property, dinosaurs included, as much as possible, but he's hoping that he can convince somebody to at least let him get part of this thing's tail. The dinosaurs back home were delicious, and this is probably one of the biggest ones that he's seen!

Don't mind this familiar kid dropping down from the sky. He manages to land on dinosaur's tail with a big grin. He hugs it, laughing all the while as it swings from side to side as he tries to stay on. When it swings to the right, he can see Goku standing ready. Goten does his best to wave to him while keeping hold of the creature. This is a more like a game to him then anything. Mt.Paozu had all kinds of dinosaurs after all.
"Dad! Look! I got him!"
He's just got the tail but that counts, right? At least until the dinosaur really starts to notice him.
no subject
Not the dinosaurs rampaging about, that part he expected. No, it was the fact that his father was about to fight one of them, and his little brother was helping.
"D-Dad? Goten??"
The words came out of his mouth before he had a chance to hold them back. The sheer and utter surprise of seeing them leaving him completely stunned. Nevermind the fact that there were civilians in danger, and the Great Saiyaman needed to be helping. No, he was too distracted by the fact that, after months of being here, he got to see his father and brother again.
no subject
Hearing someone else call their names, he turns to look, completely ignoring the dinosaur in front of him. "Oh, hey Go-- ...I mean, Super Saiya-guy!" He figures there has to be a reason for Gohan to be wearing that costume, so he'll play along. ...Even if he can never remember the right name.
no subject
That's when he hears his most favorite older brother in the whole world's voice! Goten instantly perks up. The Saiyaman outfit is cool but it doesn't quite click that he's not really suppose to shout his name. He's too excited to see his brother. Practically the whole family is here.
"Gohan! Hey! Look at this dinosaur! Isn't he huge?"
no subject
Not that it was stopping a smile from spreading across his face. Nor was it stopping a sweatdrop from forming at how blase they were about this.
"Y-Yeah, he's pretty huge, Goten..." He stammered, floating closer. He knew the Gigantorausus wasn't exactly a big threat to any of them, but it was still his responsibility to make sure it was detained and taken away from the public. As opposed to... well, beat up and potentially eaten.
"Um, not that I'm not happy to see you both-- because trust me, I am-- but..." He spared a quick glance at the fleeing civilians, before turning back to his dad and brother. "We really need to move this guy somewhere else."
