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:
 

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.

Oh, it's been ages since I've played.

[She settles in opposite Somnus, looking over the board.]

The pieces are all the same as you've known them, then? Interesting, that the game would be the same across such different dimensions.

[She's read the profiles, and you are definitely not from a world remotely similar to hers.]
encelevenemus: (past the black where the sirens sing)

let's pretend i know literally anything about chess

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2019-04-02 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
They are indeed. I confess it a small reassurance, surrounded by the unfamiliar as I appear to be.

[Or in other words, something had to be the same in this godsforsaken place.]

I presume the rules must be the same as well, but should I be wrong then perhaps I've just a lot to learn.
liv_nye_the_science_pi: (fight a triffid)

I know the horsies move in L shapes

[personal profile] liv_nye_the_science_pi 2019-04-03 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if there are any differences in our knowledge of the rules, we'll discover them soon enough, won't we? It'll be a learning experience.

[She adjusts the board slightly, fixing some tiny misalignment.]

White or black?
encelevenemus: (is this what you wanted)

hm. this checks out.

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2019-04-03 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I've an affinity for black, myself.

[we noticed, honey]
liv_nye_the_science_pi: (And I really got hot)

it's funny because check is a chess thing

[personal profile] liv_nye_the_science_pi 2019-04-06 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
Committed to the aesthetic, I see. I can appreciate that.

[You don't get to be a Spider-rogue otherwise, really.]

[She moves a pawn, I can play chess, I am not good at it, but only two types of pieces can move first and I know enough to know that moving a knight first is probably a bad idea.]
encelevenemus: (fly me up on a silver wing)

dohohoho

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2019-04-06 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
You could say that. Black's a customary color, in the kingdom.

[Or it would be, once he was done with it.]

It's fascinating to me that such a game persists across universes and ages. It would appear to me that the rest of you come from places well ahead of my Lucis.

Maybe not so odd. War is a constant among civilizations, means of simulating it can't be much less common.
