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!
Sneaky Snakes
There are a number of snakes that have become possessed by a bunch of very sneaky ayakashi. They are slithering around, silently, snaring unsuspecting passersby into their trap - their trap to steal money. That's right, these snakes are busy snatching bills and coins from whoever they can. Try to put a stop to their thieving ways, or perhaps get thieved by them yourself.
Many of the customers of a certain restaurant are complaining of the fact that their stomachs hurt after eating there. It could just be food poisoning, but many of these people are winding up in critical condition after a couple of days. It's time to figure out what the heck this cook is actually putting in the food.
A family run business has been selling underwear for generations, but the underwear they sell is super boring and bland. Nobody wants to buy from them when cooler underwear is just around the corner. They've asked you to help them bring customers back in - by making their boring underwear seem as cool and hip as possible! How you do that is up to you.
There are so many ayakashi making their way through the air that at sunset the sky is turning an absolutely gorgeous shade of purple. Near Shore residents are reacting to this in varying ways. Many are delighted by the beautiful sky, but just as many are terrified that it's a sign of the end of times. Try to take down some ayakashi to make the sky less purple. Or just sit back and watch the beauty.
Anyways, there's this college boy who won't stop playing his acoustic guitar. He's from the US and is trying to pick up Japanese chicks. By now he should've somehow realized that they're totally not interested in him. But the song just keeps getting louder and louder and all that the people near the campus can hope is that today is gonna be the day that he stops playing. Maybe you're gonna be the one that saves them.

Maribelle | Fire Emblem; Awakening | Shinki
[Those sneaky, sinful snakes truly know no fear. They're secretly slithering along the sidewalk, under the bench you're sitting on, hidden in the bushes nearby, somehow skating off with your hard earned silver in this mouths (your salary may be less than superb, still it's simply scandalous to steal). One snatches your satchel from your sidetracked self and begins to make it's escape when a pretty, pointy parasol suddenly pierces it from above.]
What is the meaning of this? [Pretty much ignoring you, this young woman is busy glaring down at the ayakashi with a terrifying glare.] You snuck right past me and went for this delirious fool!
[Wow, Maribelle. Just because your character was daydreaming or possibly just minding their own business like a normal person. Anyway, at least she's trying to help and her priorities are in the right place-] Why didn't you try to steal from me? Do I look poor to you? Do I?!
[Um.]
Terrible Tummy Troubles
[It's a fine dining establishment- or so the blurb on the website says. Ignoring the photos of beautiful rooms and tablecloths, delicious meals and expensive wines, one might notice the Yelp reviews instead. Yikes. Maribelle might have visited the restaurant as a (very distinguished, of course) customer and guest, but now she's here to investigate.
Investigating apparently means storming in with her head held high and demanding to see a manager.]
Excuse me! You there, do come here and answer me! Who is responsible for the running of this establishment? I insist her or she come forward this instant before I am forced to become extremely irate- you! [The terrified wait staff are quick to rush their manager forward to meet this little girl with ribbons in her hair.] I demand to see your kitchens this instant!
[Maribelle doesn't wait to be lead anywhere, instead heading further inside the restaurant herself, making a clear line towards the kitchen door. When she gets there she glares at the manager until he panics and opens the door. Maribelle continues to storm in, looking around judgmentally and continuing to rant.]
What sort of horrific den of disease and infestation are you maintaining in this operation? Despicable! I've seen barns in better condition- and somehow with even fewer live animals! Really, never have I seen such a disgusting state of affairs!
[Okay, there's been some incidents but it's probably not that bad. Good thing you came along as back up, though who for I can't say.]
[ooc; feel free to assume she's your character's shinki or something!]
Duo Shinki FTW - Tummy Troubles
Halt, fiends! The miasma in this den of evil is thick and the audacity of you not to hide your crimes is unmatched. Know that I can not let this go unchallenged. I am Owain, Weapon of the Gods. I will bring justice to this place and pray that the gods keep sealed the overwhelming might within me.
[Yeah, this doesn't look like a den of evil. Owain is probably the most villainous figure here! He's got a sword on his hip, ready to draw and is waxing on about details to the scene that don't exist. Still, he does happen to spot the other shinki, as her attire makes her stand out a bit for those who tend to notice their kind.]
And low! You have kidnapped a princess to add to your crimes. Were you intending to cook and serve her to the guests? Is that the source of this evil? Is your stew people?
[With a swipe, he draws his sword and swats a pot off the fire. What's within is definitely not stew. It's noodles being cooked and seasoned for several meals. The boiling water splashes about and people in the kitchen begin to really panic. Owain has his sword out ready.]
Reveal yourself fiend!
no subject
What in heaven's name do you think you're doing?!
[Now Owain is causing a ruckus so Maribelle puts aside her shock to turn on him. Fearlessly pushing his blade aside with her parasol, she storms up to him.]
Cease this behaviour at once! This is a kitchen, not some backwater fighting pit! How dare you make such a mess? Were you raised by bears or merely degenerate vandals?
no subject
Uh...
[And then he regains a little of his composure. Enough to keep up dramatic talk at least. He's already lowering his sword away and just gesturing with his free hand.]
This den of... I mean kitchen seems to be the source of what ails the innocents who pass through this way. Obviously something evil is at work here...
[Or just low standards. He's not really an expert here and she has him on this. He just barged in with no information and little to go on hoping causing a ruckus would draw out some opponent. Instead he has her.]
