LEGION OF ECLIPSE TEST DRIVE.

[legionofmods]

"Your characters is forcibly recruited into the Legion of the Eclipse, a multiversal legion of supervillains. They've had their eye on you for a while, and now, they'd like to formally invite you to join them!

...The issue is that there are a great deal of you, and the Legion is a very exclusive club. So, you're offered a challenge: if you wish to make it into the legion, you must commit murder or avoid being murdered. But you can do that, can't you? You're a villain, after all!"

This is the official test drive for Legion of Eclipse, a villain-only murdergame. Characters who don't fit this criteria might be PMed by the mod and asked to remove their prompts, for consistency purposes. This test drive will remain open until the game itself opens, and comments from this may be used as part of your murdersheet. Please list your character's name and canon in your header, and please feel free to consult our FAQ if you have any questions. Reserves open on April 12th.

You may use your own prompts, or the example ones below:
 

1 - Meticulous Planning
Despite whatever plots and schemes you might have had going before, you will find yourself waking up here. The room's architecture is stunning, and captures the aesthetic of 1950's sci-fi futurism. Only problem is...is that you don't recognize it. Once you leave, you'll find that the rest of the place reflects that same aesthetic - and judging by the heat and that wall of lava that you can't reach, you're in a volcano. Fortunately for you, it seems as though everyone else here is just as confused...especially by the fact that the terminals scattered throughout the building seem to have comprehensive information on all of you.

The monitors mounted on the walls of just about every room of the building display the message "INFORMATION AT 12PM." Guess you're stuck until then.

2 - (We'll Have Food)
You'll find that despite your hosts' threats, it gets...rather boring around here. Fortunately, there is plenty to do. The kitchens are well-stocked with just about every food you can imagine, made to order on demand from a similar set of kiosks. Other features of The Volcano Lair include a room filled with sharks, a vehicle hanger filled with inoperable mechas and hovercars, a power plant, a fully-stocked bar, a music room, and a war room consisting of a very large table...and nothing else.

Feel free to add your own rooms in your prompts, and if we like them, you might just seem them in-game.

3 - Tenacity Spanning
Another week has gone by, and as per your hosts' threats, they've decided to release the secrets of everyone still alive. Each of the monitors in the building will display footage of you, revealing both devastating secrets and what exactly you were up to in your homeworld. If you haven't told everyone about this stuff yet, now's the time to do so.

4 - (We Repeat, Endless Meat)
Like it or not, they'll have their murders. You're either going to find a body, or you're going to be a body. Or, if you play your cards right, perhaps you'll be the one committing murder to begin with...any way you slice it, the game is afoot. Prepare yourself and react accordingly.

5 - Decades Of Denial
Trials are particularly devastating. You're sat across a large table with enough seats for all twenty of you, made to debate and accuse each other. Perhaps this could be your time to twist things in your favor, if you're so inclined...

6 - Is Simply Why I'll--
Wild card prompt. Go nuts.

Comments

[endoftheuniverse]

[Now here's a history that is unquestionably monstrous. Liam's expression hardens as he reads it, unsympathetic to pure evil - in particular, he was quite intimate with the pain of starvation, as well as how it felt to be utterly helpless in the face of a megacorporation. In a moment of vanity, he rages against the fact that he is being compared- however indirectly- to a person like this. After all, there was a big difference between cruel, unfeeling capitalism and the completely justifiable genocide of a planet... right? ...Regardless, he rounds on her, expression hard:]

Dr. Bellum, I presume?

[There's no warmth in his greeting, and he won't bother to offer to shake her hand. Trying to fit in with these people wasn't Liam's game, at the same time, but he knew better than to cut himself off from them entirely. Going in guns-blazing without all of the facts did not suit him. His tone is dry and irreverent, though his words leave some room for ambiguity:]

Exactly the person I'd been hoping to find. Please, do tell me more about this... "VILE", and your research.

[vilescience]

[She grins in a slightly unsettling manner, tucking her arm behind her back. If this man hasn't heard of VILE, he's clearly just small fry. Better keep to the front they present to most people who aren't worthy of knowing the true name just yet.] Correct. VILE, or "Valuable Imports, Lavish Exports", is an import-export company that deals mostly with stolen goods from all corners of the globe. [She gestures to herself with a gloved hand.] I work mostly with technology and outfitting our agents with the best tools for the job. Of course, if you wanted to join our talent network, you'd need to apply and go through a rigorous screening process. [She peers up at Liam, adjusting her goggles slightly.] What do you specialize in, exactly? Arson? Larceny? Murder? Art history? Interdisciplinary studies?

[endoftheuniverse]

[Liam has no reason to suspect that Dr. Bellum isn't telling the truth, given that many capitalists justified their evil deeds by their dollar value. He can't help but smile in disbelief at how unfalteringly committed she is to this business. Join their talent network, indeed...]

Revolution. Insurrection. [He gestures to the cybernetic implant embedded in his temples.] Cyberwarfare. Looking for the right cause to fight for, presently.

[Those details alone don't necessarily reveal his hand, but it does protect him against blaspheming against his beliefs.]

Now where exactly do war crimes and global famine fit in with your company mandate...?
