ΩUTSIDERS
TEST DRIVE MEME

Welcome to the outsiders test drive meme! You can use this post to tag with characters you're interested in bringing to the game or who you'd like to try out in the setting.


Please set all threads in one of three areas: the landing zone, where your character get off the shuttle upon arrival; the markets, where your character might run into any of the station's alien population; or in the residential district they'll be staying in.

φ Please give the name and canon of your character in the subject line! OCs and AUs are welcome.
φ You may use threads from this post as a log sample, so long as it has at least 5 of your comments in action tags or prose.
φ You can keep CR from this meme if both players agree to it OOCly, and so long as you keep interactions to these starting areas.
φ Apps open on 1/27; the game opens 2/2.
φ You can find more information on our setting here, and our navigation is here!

"It's war. Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better."

Shepard's at the end of the bar, and despite her disinterest in them, is being given a decent berth by the rest of the patrons - who remember her a little too well from previous encounters.

She hadn't been listening, really. Just nursing an ice brandy, wondering where Chakwas and the rest of the Normandy was about now, then- What kind of comment is that with the Reapers around?

She gives the soldier a once-over, brow furrowed from being unable to place his armor. "...Where were you posted?"

"Blood Gulch," Grif replied. "It was actually really stupid, but then again I've figured out that basically everything the army does is really stupid and I should stop being surprised."

He would conveniently forget the fact that plenty of the stupid-army-things that were so vivid in his memory were also partially his fault.

"It's like... okay war is hell and all, but I don't know if this was hell so much as being slowly annoyed-slash-bored to death? There wasn't nearly enough fire."

It doesn't matter that she doesn't recognize the place, or his armor- It's too insulting to not put her drink down and walk over, placing herself squarely in his space.

"Haven't you been watching the vids? 'Hell' is an understatement. The whole galaxy's fighting to survive and you're just going to sit here, moaning about how you're bored?"

She purposely gives him a slow once-over.

"When did you enlist? A month ago? Less? You haven't seen a Reaper up close, have you? You wouldn't be saying any of this otherwise."

Grif moves back a little out of reflex, but not so far he's falling off the stool. He's surprised more than anything.

"I just got here, okay? I've been stuck in a box canyon in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of assholes for three years. What the hell is a Reaper?"
