LEGION OF ECLIPSE TEST DRIVE.
"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:

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.
Dr. Saria Bellum | Carmen Sandiego
[When Dr. Bellum wakes from her slumber, she immediately has several opinions on the architecture and comfort of her room. First of all, it's stunning, and she makes a mental note to make adjustments to her own laboratory back on VILE island. However, it takes a few moments for her to actually realize that she doesn't actually remember where she is. Odd.
Her memory doesn't return when she continues to explore her surroundings, but from the architecture and the extensive bios (especially on the fact that she works for VILE, listed as "Valuable Imports, Lavish Exports"), she assumes that there's been some sort of conference called in one of the many VILE outposts throughout the world. It's just that she doesn't seem to recall how she arrived here in the first place. Perhaps one of her memory experiments backfired on her, which may as well be the case.
You might find yourself being approached by a short Pakistani woman in a rather odd-looking lab coat--it has shoulder pads, for Christ's sake. Her goggles seem to gleam in the glow of the magma.]
Excuse me, do you mind directing me to the staff office? I'll need to meet with my colleagues and discuss what I have missed.
ii - (we'll have food)
[Dr. Bellum quickly learns that this is not, in fact, a VILE outpost. It's better. Who cares if they were kidnapped against their will? She's killed plenty of people in her time, not including all the other villainous things she's done. She just has to play her cards right, and she'll be in the League, perhaps even pull in her other colleagues at VILE when she gets there. After all, collaboration is key to success, is it not?
She manages to locate a dingy and dusty tech lab with far too much scattered and broken equipment to be safe, but she's worked in worse conditions. She gets to work cleaning up and stripping the equipment for parts. If you enter the lab while she's working, she'll perk up, holding up a rather janky looking baton-like device. Electricity sparks from one end as she waves it towards you.]
Oh, good! A visitor! Come here, I need to test how effective this device is and how it compares to my more professional crackle rods.
[Later, she can be found in the kitchens, trying to hack the screens to access the Internet. Good luck trying to get food while she's occupied here. She seems to be...trying to look for cat videos, for some reason?
In an irritated tone, she says:]
If you haven't noticed, I happen to be engaged in a matter of great importance right now.
iii - wildcard
[feel free to tag me with something else you've got in mind!]
Kitchens
Eeeeehhh? What's so special about this junk?
no subject
[She taps at the screen with frustration, then directs her attention back to a keyboard hooked up to the machine itself. She starts typing furiously, then frowns and looks back up at the screen.]
Tch. If I had my own devices, this blasted machine would have already been hacked. Kick the machine, see if it does anything.
no subject
[Because that's what you should be doing, nerd.]
Why don't you kick it, if you're so smart?
no subject
Young lady, I do not have evil superiors because I am my own evil superior. I may work with a team of villains, but none of us hold more or less power over each other. The greatest obstacle that opposes all evil plans is miscommunication. And having inbalance of power between co-conspiritors.
[She turns right back to her keyboard and gets back to typing.]
Please. I do not bother myself with such things.
no subject
[She's just rolling her eyes and staring at the thing in front of her.
Dr. Stream Viewer has no power over her, but...]
If you manage to get this thing working, you mind if I try to text my boyfriend first?
i
Oh of course, your excellence. I'm all too happy to oblige.
ii - tech lab
[Just getting right in there and examining the baton.]
A bit crude, but very resourceful, considering the facilities on hand. But no, sorry, definitely not being the test subject here. We need an intern, there's enough people here, one of them must be a teenager we can wrangle into it.
