Welcome to Hadriel's test drive, and thank you again for your interest in the game! As always, our reserves page is here, and our applications page is here! Reserves open March 24th, and apps are open April 1st. Please remember that there is an app cap of 20 apps.

PLEASE NOTE: As per our Endgame Announcement, Hadriel will be closing at the end of June. Keep that in mind if you intend to app, and thank you for your consideration!

Two quick points here as well:
1. Any thread made in Hadriel's test drive will be accepted as the sole Action Log sample in the application.
2. All threads made in the test drive can be considered game canon, either through handwaving or through a shared mental experience while coming through the Door!

Test drives will be broken up into specific god mini-events, during which your characters can see how well they fare under the watchful eye of one of the gods. Choose wisely or just simply pick 'em all, and have fun!

F E A R

SCENARIO ONE: DON'T FEED THE TROLLS
[The Door brings in all that is chaotic and evil in the world. This may include you, may include the person next to you... and may include the monster behind you.

Or monsters, as the case may be. It seems like the Door has decided to grace Hadriel with a small invasion of Trolls, from the Lord Of The Rings franchise. Cave trolls are large and quite angry, with lots of stamina and strength, as well as rudimentary intelligence to use weapons and tools against you- though they're not exactly snappy dressers.

Still, it might be best to watch yourself, as it can take an entire group of people to take down just one. Best make sure you all get out alive!

SCENARIO TWO: SUPER SOMETHING
[Something happened. Maybe it was an accident- a spider bite, an explosion, a series of medical tests- but whatever it was, it changed your life forever... which is weird, since it only happened in the last thirty seconds or so.

Regardless of if there was a catalyst or not, you now have some type of superpower. Can you turn invisible? Read thoughts? Do some weird kinetic energy stuff that's just an excuse for exploding into powerful rainbows? Can you fly?

The sky's the limit (literally) as you start to learn to control your new power and flex your new supermuscles. Just be careful- everyone else is learning too, and they're not all as cool as you are!]

R A G E

SCENARIO THREE: PREDATOR VS. PREY
[It's kill or be killed- and you're either the killer or the killee, so make up your mind and get to hunting. Whether you are affected by Rage and want to hunt down some fools or you're affected by Fear and just want to get away, you've definitely got a lot on your to-do list.

Maybe you've found another hunter and you want to tag-team for awhile, or maybe you're helping someone hole up and hide from the hunters- either way, this won't end until someone dies.

This is a mini-verion of our Predator Vs. Prey event in March!]

Fear

[ From screaming sirens to blackness to.... roaring? Animal roaring?

She's tumbling into cold and brightness that wasn't there a moment ago, and yes, there's something large and moving and angry off to her left. Kimber hits the ground in full tac gear, her cowl up and her mask pulled down to hide her face. She rolls away from the noise, back to her feet, throwing a shield up around her--

--and getting thrown forward as the shield takes the brunt of the clubbed blow aimed at her back. She goes down again, this time running when she's on her feet, dodging smaller shrieking creatures until she's clear enough to get a better look at The Big One.

Breathed out in shock: ] Shit.

[ One of the smaller ones flings itself at her and she throws up another shield, this shield strong enough that the creature slams into her shield and then starts beating on it uselessly with both hands.

She doesn't waste time. She opens up a little bubble shield inside the creature's throat and expands it quick and hard, ripping the troll's head off its shoulders and leaving a shimmering bubble in the air, smeared with bile and blood. ]

Hope

[ It doesn't take long for Kimber to stash her stuff in one of the empty buildings and make her way into the city. She's just another confused civilian, another nobody wondering what the hell just happened, nothing more.

At least that's the part she's ready to play until she sees what's happening around down. Jets of fire shot into the air, strangers flying overhead, or zipping past, or doing something else that would get a person arrested where she's from. You don't exercise these kinds of abilities without a license, and there is no way everyone here has a license to practice.

This is somehow more surreal than the monsters and the gods and the strange city. This is too close to home to be anything but disorienting. ]

( Seoya's used to magic, to people freely doing whatever they're capable of in public, because that's how things worked in her quarter of the capital. The rich are filled with magic and take it for granted. But it's small things: teleporting to where you need to be, using fire to provide light, refilling your glass with a drink. Simple things. Not... jets of fire streaking across the sky.

She curls her hands into balls, remembering the way light warmed them this morning, the sparkles left on her fingertips after it flared up to the ceiling. Magic is rich among the upper-crust, among her type of people, but Seoya has never had the talent. It's strange to finally do something more complicated than change her hair colour.

And she's just distracted enough to, quite literally, run into a stranger. )

Ah— sorry. ( The accident might have been perfectly normal if her hands hadn't started glowing as the shock distracts her. )
