Whether you're trying to figure out how your character would fare in this setting, trying to get some samples together, or just dipping your toes in the water, you've come to the right place! The Test Drive is here to make your life easy by letting you see what the game is like without actually joining it first. So here is how it works:
1: Post a starter with your character, including whether they are a god or shinki in the subject line.
2: Act like your character is established enough in the setting to allow your thread to go places.
3: Take on any god/shinki of your choosing, as long as they're not already in the game!
4: Comment around to the other people on the meme.
5: Have lots of fun!
Noxious Neurotoxins
There's a few blocks of Tokyo that have been closed off completely and quarantined. It seems there's a deadly neurotoxin that's been detected in the area. But authorities claim there's no way that could have happened! Looks like this might be the work of an ayakashi. Try not to get infected.
The same obituary has been showing up in the papers for the last three weeks. It's for a young boy who died in a car accident. Thing is, this accident happened more than twenty years ago. A little ghost boy is just looking for some attention by printing his own death announcement over and over again. Spend a little time with him, would you?
A detective hailed as the greatest in his field has one heck of a time keeping a partner. But he needs one bad, so he's calling on random strangers to help him out. Unfortunately, he's very full of himself and not even that good at his job. Maybe that's why all his partners leave. It's up to you to help or hurt him!
Time to step up to the mic and make some jokes. A local bar needs performers - specifically comedic ones. You'd better be quick with your jokes or the audience is going to boo you off the stage, and then you won't get the payment you've been promised for doing a good job! Oh, and this is a request from a devote follower, so you'll lose that support too.
Some off-the-wall ayakashi have possessed a number of Roombas and are busily terrorizing people on the streets. That's right - small, round, automated vacuum cleaners are bothering the people of Tokyo. What's more, some kid thought it would be funny to tape knives to some of them. Watch out for Stabby and try to take out the spirit possessing it.

Have fun!
Roombas
I have seen those on the Internet, my lady! They are devices used by the mortal folks. Their primary task is to devour dust from the floors, but their purest use is as mighty steed of pets. I have seen videos of dogs, cats, and even ducks riding these robots in circular motion.
...The knives are new. I doubt puppies would like that.
omg :D
[ She's heard of this strange creation in passing since arriving but she still knows very little about it. But the information is still a wonder as she watches the Roombas zoom about with wide eyes. ]
So they are like... magicked brooms? [ This world has so many strange creations! ] Do animals need mounts like this? How strange. Perhaps these are for dueling, then?
no subject
Aye, it's like circular brooms if they sucked the dust instead of dragging it. I don't think animals need it, it's just them and their owners having some fun. [He imagines puppies and kitties jousting in these knife vacuums. It'd be either funny or terrifying.] Huh, my previous dog would love this cursed variety.
no subject
It would certainly be entertaining to see, if this weren't the work of ayakashi.
[ She tries to imagine Ao riding on one.
...On second thought, maybe it's better that Ao isn't currently here. ]
Do you have any ideas on how we might stop them? Without getting stabbed?
no subject
Long distance and range seem to be wiser, right?
no subject
His suggestion has her expression brightening, because at least that's something she can assist with. ]
I have my bow! But I'm not sure if my arrows can pierce their armor...
[ They looked very sturdy. ]
no subject
Unless these roombas happen to have a secret flaw in the form of a tiny hole where, if shot at a certain angle, makes them explode in a spectacular fashion... not likely.
How about if we add explosives to the arrow?
no subject
[ What terrible monsters!
But his suggestion has her glancing at him in surprised interest, because she's never heard of such a thing. ]
Can we do that?
no subject
[He hasn't watched the first Star Wars movies, but he's read the Wikipedia summary. That counts, right? Like a bard retelling an epic.]
Oh, but we can try! Or get explosives if just shooting doesn't work. It'll be most certainly lit, like people say.
