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!

Illegal Irritations
Nothing supernatural about this one, there are just some guys sell illegal drugs and weaponry in some of the back alleys of Tokyo. They might solicit you to try and get your business or you might just happen upon them targeting someone else. Either way, are you really okay with letting this go on in your city?
For some strange reason, a bunch of jellyfish have taken to literally jumping out of the ocean and all over the beaches. They seem to be scared of something in the water, but be that as it may, they're scaring away all the beach tourism! Quick, figure out how to get them back in the water!
A brand new store is opening up and, as part of their grand opening, they want people to perform for their potential customers! And they're just dragging people off of the streets and shoving them into ridiculous, off-brand character costumes to do it. Whether you're part of the show or watching others make fools of themselves, it promises to be a good time.
There's a great, new brand of lingerie being sold in Akihabara that is all the rage right now. They're stylish and sexy and come in all shapes, sizes, and colors! There's even some that are themed after popular shows. But people who are buying them keep winding up missing. Coincidence?
So many birds are molting on the spot for no reason, shedding feathers all over the streets, on peoples' cars, and in any space they can get into. It's really not their fault, but darn if it's not making things difficult to do with all these feathers around! Either help clean up or figure out how to stop the mass molting!

If you're uncertain about anything, feel free to check out the Premise, Rules, and FAQ posts. And don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have on the FAQ!
When and if you're ready to join the game, check out the Taken Characters before throwing in a Reserve and starting on your Application
Have fun!
Mikoto Suoh | K | God
[ Mikoto stands off against the group with a muted look. His eyes burn with a slow rage that betrays his lax posture. It disturbs them and has them aiming a row of guns at him. When he slips a hand out of his pocket, they start yelling explcities bringing tensions high causing one of the low-ranked dealers to slip his finger over the trigger. The single bullet causes a chain reaction sending the rest into a flurry. The sudden crescendo of gunshots is met with red. Flames suddenly envelope him in a protective shield that disintegrates the bullets on contact and has the men running when they bursts forward burning everything in their path leaving nothing in their wake.
Mikoto doesn't kill them. He lets them escape in a panic but not without administering his own brand of justice leaving them with first degree burns to mark their encounter with the Red King. And through it all, he remains silent, eyes red from the rage that still burns deep inside consuming him. ]
ii. Jumping Jellyfish
[ Mikoto stands a foot in the water, watching, waiting. When one of the jellyfish jumps out he quickly grabs it with a hand covered in flames and burns it
to a crispuntil it's well done. The jellyfish is dead before it even knows what's happened, and Mikoto? He stares down at his crispy creation,wondering if its ediblebefore bringing it up and taking a bite. ]iii. Manic Molting
[ Mikoto's solution to this latest mass hysteria over a few feathers - Burn them all.
His red aura suddenly flares out, consuming him in it's tangible heat. He breathes in, drawing the hottest flames to his core and with a quick exhale throws his aura out burning everything in its path leaving nothing but a faint memory of their cumbersome nuisance. And the birds? Mikoto stares at them afterwards with mild interest. ]
Yakitori.
iv. Wildcard
[ Set up your own starter post! ]
Manic Molting
The lingering heat doesn't bother him; his own aura flaring briefly in response to the other man's.]
Seems like you've got yourself a meal there.
1/2
[ 'Pay attention!' Heaven's messenger finally lost his temper when the Red King fell asleep on him for the fourth time since- since! It had only been ten minutes! 'This is important! You can't just--'
'I know already.' Mikoto interrupts, finding his voice annoying. He doesn't open his eyes and remains on the sofa seemingly half-asleep. Still, he had listened. 'The God's greatest secret' He yawns. 'I heard you the first time.' ]
2/2
His aura suddenly flares, erupting like a volcano inside him as the very notion of Izumo being a shinki tears through his control drawing flames hot enough to melt the ground beneath him. ]
no subject
This definitely wasn't what he was expecting - not a reaction strong as this.
He recognizes the aura, if only because of his own, but this man's aura was stronger. The ground was melting beneath the other man, though, and it's the only reason why Izumo moves forward.
His own aura flickers, the warmth sweltering as it got to him and he clenches his jaw briefly to ignore it all. Instincts were warning him not to get too close.
Don't get close.
Dangerous, dangerous.
Izumo ignores them all as he comes to stand in front of the other man.]
no subject
Stay back!
Red eyes lock on Izumo, warning him away. His flame was too close. ]
no subject
His own aura doesn't provide much of a protection; it seems to blend in with this man's aura and it keeps on burning.
But Izumo's nothing but determined.
At this rate, this place will be destroyed, so Izumo grabs the redhead's arm - he ignores the flare of pain that comes with it - and glares.]
Concentrate. [A simple word, hoping somehow it'll help him.
Izumo's never done this before - not that he can recall - but he isn't going to leave the other man, that's for sure.]
no subject
.... Izumo.
[ Mikoto is visibly shaken, the after effects of the enormous energy he's expended, along with Izumo's unexpected move. I could have hurt him. It's all that runs through his mind as he stares back at him. ]

jellyfish =/= jello, red king
[ It's barely yelled out even as this shinki's running over. Sure, he may be out of uniform but that sword strapped to his side might be familiar.
Either way, he's hurrying over and catching his breath the minute he gets there. ]
I know it looks like a good idea but picking jellyfish out of the water isn't really a good idea. Even if you managed to broil it a bit...
/pats the bitty blue
It's dry.
[ This is definitely not Izumo's or Yata's cooking. Still, he takes another bite. ]
;n; please adopt him
[ The protest dies in his throat as Mikoto takes another bite. No use trying to stop him now. He's already in too deep. ]
It... might still have toxins. Are you feeling okay? Your mouth isn't going numb?
That depends - Can you cook?
Not yet.
[ He heads out of the water. After having one, he's not too keen on trying another. As he said, it's too dry but he's not one to waste edible food - which reminds him. ]
You want one?
[ He didn't even ask before he got out. ]
No but you'll have the best bandwidth speeds in all of heaven?
[ Does this guy just eat everything. It's... a little surprising what the human body (or god in this case) can do. ]
It's a little weird that they're all here, though. I didn't think they've ever done that before.
....... /not interested
How long have you been here?
[ He asks as he falls back on the towel, using his arms as a makeshift pillow. ]
D: Noooooooooo

Jellyfish >.>
Whoa! Can you eat those?
<3
If you don't mind the taste.
no subject
Does it taste bad?
no subject
It's dry.
[ He turns back to the water, then turns to look at her. ]
Do you want one?
no subject
Not that she wants to hurt his feelings about it either so she gives him a hopeful smile as she shakes her head. ]
No, I already ate, thanks. Are you hungry? I have some cookies.
no subject
since no one's done it (I think) I'll take illegal irrigations. c:
Fifteen minutes late with Starbucks, as per usual. Huffing and panting, out of breath from having jogged most of the way here, he’s still too delayed in his arrival to make any difference. What’s done is done. Flames still tickle around the redhead’s body as Tatara approaches from behind, but that doesn’t stop him from reaching up to place a hand on one of Mikoto’s shoulderblades anyway.
Risky as that may seem, he’s perhaps the only one -- if anyone -- who can
be brave enough totouch King this way without immediately fearing for life and limb.A beat, and then he sighs heavily, exasperated. ]
King. [ he drags the name out, mimicking disappointment that’s merely a farce. ] Was that really necessary?
[ Stepping around Mikoto’s side, he looks up at the Red King with amber eyes that quietly, humbly seem to plead, reflecting a hint of worry. The voice he uses is just as gentle as his touch, but still discreetly chiding. ]
Keep doing things like that, and your sword could crack.
Brave Boy
--!
[ His eyes fly open in surprise, but it's nothing compared to the shock of hearing that familiar voice chiding him like always. His eyes slowly fall to the ground, and his shoulders relax. Was this it then? Would he find them all here? Izumo, Yata and now... He swallows thickly, past the lump in his throat. The Heaven's really didn't like him did they? ]
the bravest boy. (this is why he's dead. :v) also WHY THAT ICON UR SO RUDE
Still attempting to seek those bright yellow-gold eyes with his own of a distinct amber hue, he can see the discreet nuances about Mikoto’s features that tell of his unvoiced, internalized shock at all of this. ]
You’re surprised to see me here, aren’t you?
Why is everyone dead..... orz
I avenged you.
because welcome to K, saddest fandom ever
Oh, King... [ That... couldn’t have been a good fight. Even without knowing the details, just knowing Mikoto, it couldn’t have ended well. ] You know you didn’t have to, right?
[ But Mikoto will say, (albeit perhaps not audibly), that of course he had to; that’s just the type of man he is. It’s one of the many things that endears Tatara to him -- even in the afterlife. ]
A story of happiness they said....
yep, that's how they getcha. :x
Lies, all of it!
not lies, just "alternative facts" :'D
