TEST DRIVE

» » » 07.11.16

Welcome to Avenger Academy RP's first ever Test Drive meme! This is for people to test out their characters, and get a feel for how they will work in this AU setting. Please read the Rules, and keep in mind that the first round is for people on the mod's Plurk only, though you are still free to post in preperation for next round. If you have any questions, please check the FAQ for answers, and leave questions there if they are not already answered.

» » » Ares

The God of War presents himself as a mean, no funny business gym teacher, and lucky you, you're right in the middle of his class. Since the Arena of War is lost to the Time Fog, you're stuck doing drills at Avenger's Stadium. Expect to be put through sword fighting, take off and landing, shield practice, and of course the more mundane running laps and doing push ups. Magic is only to be used for shield practice, and anyone causing mischief will have to deal with Ares himself.

Doesn't mean you can't try, it just means it won't end well for you.

» » » Nick Fury

Avengers Assemble!

Octobots are attacking a lab space in downtown. Their target: a new chemical compound that is apparently more efficient in powering the wriggly bastards. Get to your assigned teams and get out there before they can make off with that compound, or the octopi will be having the city for dinner tonight!

And Director Fury doesn't give a damn if you don't like your teammates; work it out or don't, just get the job done.

» » » Hank Pym

Class is in session, and considering it's Professor Pym's class, it's probably going to blow up in a few minutes. It might be best to make sure your homework is finished and handed in before your lab mate goes for the chemical cabinet, because there's a high chance it'll be on fire otherwise. While your at it, be careful what you touch in the lab; you might end up having an electrifying experience.

...this lab has no safety precautions whatsoever, does it?

» » » Odin

Sucks to be you; looks like you just got caught getting into things you shouldn't have been getting into, and the All Father himself found out about it. Now you're stuck in detention in the Timeless Archives, whittling away at a report that no superhero deserves to be put through. It doesn't look like Odin stuck around to make sure you finish it, though; is it worth risking the All Father's ire just to get a few hours on the dance floor at Club A?

» too bad we don't have any spare trucks to drive into these suckers
Okay, so this really isn't what I had in mind when I said today could use some more excitement.

[One minute, it's hanging out in Club A, low-key complaining about boredom, and the next it's all hands on deck. Hibiki lets out a breathy, nervous laugh as he runs a hand through his hair. He adjusts his gloves, pulls a pair of goggles over his eyes, and turns to his current teammates.]

Let's get moving, everyone! Let's make sure these things don't even get to that compound!

[He's not sure if his teammates are even going to listen to him as he tries to take charge like this, but damn if it isn't worth a shot.]

» safety precautions? who needs safety precautions?
[Another day, another explosion. At this rate, Hibiki thinks he needs to start carrying around copies of his homework. Or get a fireproof folder to carry it in.

He's at least managed to keep anything from catching on fire so far, but who's to say how long that'll last. ... He's already preparing a pair of safety goggles, though. Hibiki's turning to whoever happens to be closest to whisper--

(it's more of a stage whisper really, but with how noisy the place is, it might as well be an ordinary whisper)]

So, how long do you think it'll take for something to blow up this time?

» wildcard
[Of course, everyone needs some time to relax in between class and heroics. If anyone's looking for Hibiki during some downtime, he's easily caught in the lounge area in front of the dorm, the quad, or Club A, fiddling with his phone or tapping away at his laptop. It's easy to get his attention for something or other and unless someone's trying to sneak up on him, he'll be looking up from what he's doing when they approach.]

Oh, hey, need something?

Edited 2016-07-12 01:32 (UTC)

[one: some assembly required]

[Another day, another supervillain attack, and this time, it's octobots. Han can hardly believe it--his first time reluctantly going into battle with these bozos and this is what happens: pinned down behind an overturned car, shooting down octobots and cursing Nick Fury's name to the high heavens. If this is the price he pays for protection from Jabba and his cronies, he's rapidly reconsidering the danger of just going to see Jabba himself.

He shoots down another eight-legged robot, then ducks back down behind the car.]

Got a brilliant plan cooking up your sleeve or anything? [There may be some bite to his tone now.]

[two: play that funky music]

[Shouldn't Han be in detention? Yeah, he should be, but the lure of Club A is just too strong, and besides, he knows how to sneak in and out of detention already, having been there enough times over the course of his stay. Mostly for escaping detention in the first place, but shush.

He's not actually dancing, though. If somebody invites him onto the dance floor, it's not as if he'll turn them down, but right now it looks like he's mostly just enjoying the drinks. It's as if he's waiting on someone to show up.

Spoilers: he's not, it's just old habit--he used to wait in seedy bars and dangerous places a lot for potential clients looking to have something smuggled through, and even now it's hard to break the habit. He's thus going to be somewhat surprised when somebody walks up to him, but recover quickly and raise his glass to them in a toast.]

What's up?

[three: wildcard!]

[Have another idea for running into Han? Toss it in here!]

1.) Let's Fake A Training Montage
[ Yu was distracted for a moment from training, turning his head to where Ares was preoccupied with yelling at a student that had shot an arrow off as he was passing by, nearly hitting the God of War in the face. A sympathetic look came to his face as he watched the student cower in utter terror, before turning his attention back to his partner, giving them an apologetic look as he hefted the training sword he was holding. ]

Well... are you ready for this?

2.) Bonding In Warm Water
[Stark was fairly adamant about, "only the ladies," being able to use the hot tub on the roof of his building, but the common baths in the dorms were all taken up, and last he checked, Stark was busy studying about historic women. It was a little creepy, since he had apparently been doing it for hours, but that meant it would just be J.A.R.V.I.S. at Stark Tower, and that was a computer that knew how to keep a secret. ]

[ Yu crept all the way up to the roof, marveling for a moment the sheer size of the hot tub. He started toward to strip down, paranoia that he was going to get caught any second crawling up his spine. Of course, as soon as he set foot in the water, he ended up nearly jumping out of his skin as the roof let out a loud bang, before it began to open up, exposing the hot tub to the open air. He let out a squeak before he could stop himself, throwing himself the rest of the way into the water and hoping no one heard or worse, saw him. ]

( Downtown )

Submarine Reflection!

[ A surge of energy knocks one octobot clear into a wall making a decent dent in the concrete after Michiru finally gets her incantation to work along with her mirror. She seems extremely pleased with herself, smiling even with a soft giggle of her own. ]

It worked! [ She slipped into japanese out of habit, but was quickly brought right back to reality dodging a metal arm coming her way. Clearly still having a lot to learn her dodge sends her smashing right into another student also sent out on this mission. ]

I'll apologize later just give me your hand. [ She reaches out to them. Once they grab a hold (if they do) she will pull them back up to their feet along with her. ] Why are there so many?

( Avengers Stadium )

[ Michiru hated outdoor sports with an intense passion regardless of how effortless her skills were at next to all the events she applied herself to--except for sword fighting. She couldn't nail the stance, even with Haruka's confident maneuvers clear in her mind.

She wasn't even holding a double-edge blade correctly. ]

Don't hold back on me. [ Adjusting her footing, she might be able to pull this off. . .assuming she doesn't cut herself first. ] I'm capable of keeping up. [ That's her pride talking. Maybe Haruka was rubbing off on her. She'd never be a fit Guardian if she couldn't get through basic training. ]

» use an energy shield
[Gym class is probably Wanda's least favorite, and if it weren't for the few times she's allowed to use her powers, the least useful to her. Flying is kind of fun at least, though she absolutely hates when it's time for sparring practice. There probably isn't a better way to work on her energy shield, but could they at least use less dangerous-looking weapons?

(Of course not.)

Wanda tugs on her red gloves and turns to face her partner for this round. Last week in a moment of panic she'd accidentally ripped her partner's weapon out of their hands (which was fine) and sent it flying towards their teacher (which was very much not fine). Hopefully nothing goes wrong this time.

Red energy flickers to life around her hands. Stay in control.]

Are you ready?

» save the lab!
[Wanda's pleased to find that the octobots don't do so well once they're down a few appendages. The residual energy of the hex bolts seems to have a brief mildly corrosive effect, and there's more than one semi-disabled Octobot shambling around with head portions or limbs missing.

Maybe you're holding your own, or maybe you're not. Either way the nearest Octobot suddenly finds half its limbs ripped out from under it and it falls, hitting the pavement hard.]

This is not the time to pull your punches.

» wild card!
[Have at it!]

[one: assist at the archives]

[Technically, Hawke's a teacher's assistant, not a proper instructor--she's a mite too young to do much instructing, but at the same time being just a student is a little too boring for her, so here she is at the Timeless Archives, assisting.

By which we mean she's probably flirting with someone.

By which we mean she's flirting with you.]

Need a little help with that? [Said with a smile, leaning against your desk. There's something to her voice that says she'd be quite happy to help.]

[two: miss the hanged man's drinks]

You know, it's just not the same without the rat-piss whiskey.

[It's nighttime at Club A, and while most people have probably hit the hay by then--or, in some cases, stayed up late to party their way through the night--Hawke's decided to have a few drinks. Granted, it's not actually doing much for her, because all the fake IDs in the world can't fool a robotic bartender into thinking she's much older than 18, but it's the principle of the thing, all right?

She swirls her drink around with a sigh. It's rare that she drops her smile and bad flirting and worse jokes, but hey, no one's around to see, right?

Someone drops into the seat next to her. She looks up.]

Aren't you supposed to be asleep? [There's no real threat behind it, though, it's just the tone of a young woman who really kind of misses her home. Fury's offer is great, sure, and she's been having a lot of fun, but sometimes--well, she misses her mom. She misses her siblings. She misses her friends.

And she misses the whiskey.]

[three: go wild!]

[Hawke can be found pretty much anywhere on campus, because she's a nosy little shit who can't keep out of trouble for very long. If you have another idea for running into her, here's your chance!]

>> Trying to make friends

Well, working with a Greek God was something Hei had not thought he would do, much less with Ares himself. Though he was mostly regulated to doing springs and push-ups, and had been doing so for a while. Seems he was being tested, perhaps a bit mentally as this did begin to feel tedious. Weighing his options though, running seemed more effective than fighting raging diety.

It'd be a bit more helpful if there were more people here....

>> Hei hates robots

Robots were not a thing he was made to combat. Strong meta-humans, sure. He was trained to kill those kind of targets and highly-skilled assassins. Robots well....Considering how he was mostly dodging, using his knife and wire to circle around the robot, eventually getting on top of it and slashing away with his knives. Normal knives would hardly work without some enhanced strength. Thankfully, his powers created a glow on them, lightning covering the blades as he kept slashing away with easy.

Though as he tried to get away, one of the tentacles wrapped him up by the leg, and held him upside down. Quickly, he slashed the tentacle, freeing himself...and getting smacked by the same tentacle through a shop-window.

He groaned, rubbing his head. Thank god for this jacket helping him not be torn to shreds...now if only helped prevent bruises. "Times like this, I really wish Fury gave me better gear."

>> Hei hates science

So aside from robots, another Hei lacked a lot of experience in was science. He knew some basic stuff, though it was mostly in trying to use it in combat. This though? He was just lucky the entire place wasn't on fire. Though not lucky when the current experiment explodes, pushing him back against the wall. Small yet powerful enough to affect only him. Would be handy, if he wasn't currently covered in soot.

"...Is there a guide for science for idiots?"

>> Wildcard

Don't like anything above? Throw in your own stuff or talk to me about setting up something.

1.

So the god of war is here, well Elizabeth won the title of manliest of men in that fighting competition, and while yes, sword fighting with a book is what she was supposed to be doing, just why did she keep looking at a card marked "Chariot" with no images on it and side eying the instructor.

"Soon... Soon I will figure out the Master's secrets."

2.

Octobots, tools of a perverse grasp of technology, so that was her mission. Mayhem and destruction, decapitation of those who oppose her. Sadly Liz has had a very hard time understanding the concept of "Collateral Damage" or "Waiting for your team" so she just charges ahead like a fool, sadly the bad kind, not the kind she marginally is. Thanatos appearing over her shoulder she laughs in a way that would make most people suffer a cold shiver.

"Onward Thanatos, to protect the chastity of all the women with us!"

4.

Ok, so Persona fusion is harder, apparently a LOT harder than bodychucking Odin into Ares, and perhaps Dr. Pym's suggestion of "Just try it and see what happens!" was not the best of suggestions to follow. Still, mistakes were made and Elizabeth doesn't even want to get into what started all those electrical explosions.

Still, a paper explaining just what she did know about personas and persona fusion was rather dull, still it was her task. Not wanting to endanger the potential reward, or at least the potential of another attempt at fusion Liz was pondering. She is fairly certain a club was involved in ONE or more persona components so it was time for field research, or at least, an idiot taking the ONE chair in the library and moving it to the Club to "Continue her research"

War.

[The girl seems born to battle. Her power covers ranged, so her weapons of choice for this are a pair of Cold War-era experimental pistol-grip blades, tempered with carbon fiber or something like that, she has no idea what. Point is, if she uses her energy projection through them they don't break. She's not causing any explosions with them today, though, just going through sword-forms and looking slaveringly eager for a challenge.]

Hey! Spar me!

[No, she doesn't hesitate to call anyone out.]

Fury.

We'll go in as a three-pronged attack. [Without anyone asking her to, Maria has taken control of the planning for her team, her finger tapping on a crudely-sketched map that indicates the Octobot's position in the streets.] If we allow it to focus its attention we'll be destroyed one by one, so spreading out and forcing it to react from all sides will give us the advantage. I want a constant stream of fire on it from maximum engagement range clear into melee -- we have to make it respond to us instead of being able to get the chemicals and get out. Clear on that?

[She doesn't lack for confidence, but who asked her to lead anyway? No one, that's who.]

Class is in- Oh Fazbear why.

Of course.

[That is the sound of a student is just...done. Unlike most of the students in Avengers Academy, Phil's not a superhero. In fact, he used to be a regular student who worked part-time to scrounge up some cash. Where he did work that could earn him a spot in the prestigious Academy? At a haunted pizzeria of course! It takes serious luck or misfortune to survive Freddy's but that's in the past and Phil's already putting away his homework inside his backpack and thinking up ways to spread the damage among the Octobots rather than the people fleeing.]

Hello-hello! And I guess we'll have to introduce ourselves later!

[Like after grabbing the nearest blaster available. Thank you hundreds of dollars spent in arcades! Though Phone Guy here should've expected the kickback, as he let out an undignified yelp.]

Lab: Pay no attention to the walking HazMat suit

[It's not that Prof. Pym's classes aren't fun, it's the fact that they're too much fun and Phil actually likes this Foxy shirt. He's the one wearing the full hazardous material suit and not really caring if he gets stared at.]

Don't judge, I'd rather be safe than sorry and I have enough scrapes and bruises from the octopus attack.

[As you can see, your lab partner is quick to fire shots in retaliation.]

Gym
[Turns out no matter what country you're in, it sucks to be a tiny guy in pigtails. There's no helping that Nagisa looks like a wimp next to all of these people with flashy powers and bulging muscles. The natural conclusion is that he's in the center of the circle and dodgeball is about to begin.

To his credit, Nagisa's pretty good. He moves easily, clearly already well-trained despite the lack of obvious signs. He isn't even breaking a sweat. So maybe he's not such a wimp.

Once the game ends, he steps away for water.] That was easier than I expected...

Pym
[Oh good god, science here is....intense. This is Nagisa's worst subject to begin with. He's pretty sure a chaotic lab like this one is not going to help his understanding of the subject...

A fire flares up and he has to scramble to get his homework out of range. Isn't the fire extinguisher...on the other side of the fire?] Careful! Can you put it out? Should I go for the extinguisher?

Hmm
[Downtime? Downtime. It's not like 100% of Nagisa's time is taken up by classes, homework, and shenanigans, after all. If you're not up to any of those (or you are and feel compelled to drag him into it), the boy can be found in the library.

One would be forgiven for thinking he had a mountain of homework, considering the open books and notes around him. He's taking frequent pauses in his reading to flip through an English-Japanese dictionary and jot things down. Nerd? Nerd.]
