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.

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?

[ Yu didn't mind working with Solo -- he was a pretty nice guy, despite the brash front that he put up. What he did mind was the fact that he was actually put out on a mission like this in the first place. He still wasn't that great when it came to using his abilities in the real world, as anyone that was in his magic class knew intimately well. Not only that, but he was the idiot to bring a katana to a fight with a metallic robot. ]

[ He flinched slightly as the octobot Han shot hit the ground, before turning his head slightly, trying not to look as uneasy as he felt at the moment. ]

...I could try to blast them?

[ Yu ended up flinching again as the leg of an octobot came slamming down into the ground uncomfortably close. ]

Though there's a chance I'll hurt us too.

[Han's seen Yu around on campus a few times, even worked with him in some classes--guy's not half-bad, if a little out of his depth. Or a lot out of his depth, who brings a goddamn katana to a robot fight? Then again, it's not like Han's got room to talk, all he has with him is a blaster he stole off Jabba's armory on his way out of the supervillain's lair.

He shoots out the octobot's leg, then, for good measure, shoots it again.]

Blast them--I think I've got an idea. [He peeks up.] Charge at them and blast them at close range. Or put that sword of yours to good use. I'll cover you.

[ For a moment, Yu felt uncertain, and he glanced between Han and the octobot looming every closer. It wasn't like what he was used to fighting, but then again, he was used to fighting things that couldn't exist in the real world. Then again, who counted on robots with eight metal tentacles being a thing? ]

[ Yu took a deep breath, before darting out from cover and toward the bot. Lightning charged the air around him as he ran, before he launched a Zio spell as close to the thing's "face" as he could. The robot reared, tentacles flailing as it struggled to regain its balance. ]

[It's easy enough to aim and shoot and provide covering fire. He's done it before, though he doesn't talk about it, this is just--the same principles, when you boil it all down. It's just that he's shooting at octopus robots to cover for a guy who can throw lightning around, apparently.

Han very rapidly readjusts his opinion of Yu. Damn, he doesn't want to get on the kid's bad side now.

The robot rears up, and Han shoots out one of its tentacles.]

Good job, Yu! [For all that he's brash and keeps telling people that he doesn't want to be here, that he's just here until he can pay off Jabba somehow or someone takes the guy out, Han actually kind of cares for the other students.] There's more coming, can you pull that off again?

[ ...wow, he got it to work right. Yu had to stare in bewilderment a moment, surprised that he could get Zio to work so easily while under pressure. Maybe he just needed to know he could do it, and he would be able to do it? ]

I think so. If you can keep me covered!

If--'course I can keep you covered, have some more faith in me. [He settles back into position, breathes out for the next wave.] Give 'em hell, kid!

[ Yu was the kind of person that smiles were rare from, but there was definitely a spark in his eyes and a smile on his face at that response. ]

I know. Arigato, Solo-san.

[ Of course, any tender, sparkly social link bonding moment was ruined as an octobot decided to try and squash Yu. Thankfully it missed, sending debris flying everywhere, and Yu was already reacting on instinct, his sword swinging up in an arc that relieved the robot of the offending appendage. ]

[Later, Han will probably be kind of proud of himself for actually getting a smile out of Yu Narukami. For now, he focuses on picking off as many octobots as he can, which is a lot. Han's pretty good at shooting.

His eyes grow slightly wide. Wow, okay, that's--he's definitely revising his opinion of swords now. That was impressive.]

Keep your guard up, there's still plenty more! [Aim and shoot, aim and shoot. There's still more coming, and Han finds himself sincerely hoping the other teams are doing better than they are.] See if you can clear a path out, I'll be right behind you.

[ Clear a path... there was so many, and his lightning could only really attack one bot at a time. With as many of them as there were and how quickly they seemed to swarm, clearing a path would probably take hours. ]

[ Yu frowned, looking around quickly before his eyes settled on a fire hydrant. They widened, an idea forming in his head. ]

Solo-san! Shoot the hydrant, then get clear!

[Shoot the--]

You have got to be kidding.

[It's a risky plan, but it's a plan, which is better than none, so Han takes aim at the hydrant and fires, then proceeds to get out of the area and into the nearest dumpster as a goddamn geyser gushes out of the hydrant. Oh, boy, this had better not get him even more debt than he's already in.]

[ If Fury forces them on detention cleanup duty, Yu will vouch that it was 100% his idea. Solo was just dumb enough to listen to him, that was all. ]

[ Yu took a few steps back as water erupted from the hydrant, soaking him and the swarm of octobots. This was a crazy plan, seeing as he was putting himself right in the line of fire as well. Could he withstand the lightning he generated? Only one way to find out, right? ]

[ His hand charged as he grabbed onto the feel of his magic, calling out another Zio spell. Only instead of striking any one of the octobots, he aimed it at the geyser instead, electrifying the water that was drenching the area. Unfortunately, he didn't really get to enjoy the sight of the octobots around him frying as the charge did in fact hit him as well, and next thing he knew he was on his back in a puddle, still twitching slightly as he stared up at the sky. ]

[The moment he hears the sound of octobots crashing to the ground, Han's out of the dumpster, taking a moment to brush off the trash now sticking to him before he peeks out, blaster in hand.

Wait.

Shit--]

Oh, hell, kid--Yu! [Rushing out of cover, racing to Yu's side. Or, well, goes as fast as he can without tripping over fried octobots.] Hey, Yu, you okay?

[ It was a moment before Yu could force himself upright, feeling a little woozy, but otherwise in one piece and not any more scared than usual. He planted his hands on the ground behind him to keep himself braced, before he looked up at Han. ]

That was... shocking.

[ A slow smile worked its way onto his face. Yeah, he went there. ]
