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.

II. FOOD

[Lester's found his way to the bar, taking a bottle of vodka for the road as he explores the grounds. He ends up back in the kitchens soon after looking for chaser and in addition to that, also finds a plate of curry. Yeah he'd been pissed off about being there all of a sudden, even threatening to push his thumbs through the eyes of the first people he came across, but since then has decided he likes the place enough to stay.

Apparently it was all necessary to gain admission to this secret villain society. Bullseye wasn't one for that kind of crap, tended to be best solo, but hell, it would boost the fuck out of his street cred. Being the best assassin in the country wasn't enough. He wanted to be the best on the planet. Yeah, he had big dreams. Right now though, he just wanted to enjoy the luxuries of this place without worrying about having to watch his ass for people trying to come for him.]


III. TENACITY

[What Lester expects to see on his montage is a collection of his successful kills. Not every goddamn time Daredevil has kicked, punched, stabbed, or fucked him up with his billy club. Yeah, that wasn't the highlight reel he was hoping for. If someone who didn't know him was watching, they'd think this was a collection of footage of Bullseye getting knocked around by various A and B list capes.]

What the fuck? Who even made this? [He scowls, looking around to see if anyone has some slick shit to say about it.]

This has to be some kinda joke.

IV. ENDLESS MEAT

[He's never needed a gun to kill anyone before, so it gives him the ability to be agile while he stalks his pray. Hands free to use for hand to hand combat until his opponent is too far away to reach. Which, if they knew him well, would avoid because his aim is the deadliest thing about him.]

Where you goin'? Running away already?

[Feel free to back away, but Lester's reaching to his belt for a throwing knife. Also feel free to run up on him to stop him before he gets to it. Or, you know, whatever. Be creative.]

VI. WILDCARD

(Surprise him. Anything goes)

IV

[The Trivium barely reacts to the knife. Its debatable if he can even see the movement, in all honesty. Instead, he tips his hat.]

Of course not, my good man. Why bother with running when a pleasant stroll would suit you just fine?
clozapine: (☉ do what you want)

[personal profile] clozapine 2019-03-28 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lester squints, unable to see where the guy is looking, but he doesn't need to in order to hit him, really.]

Stroll? What the hell are you on about? Are you blind, jackass, I could kill you.

[personal profile] tedioustrivium 2019-03-29 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, but there are so many better thing to do than that! Why, a little birdie told me there's plenty of paperclips to unfurl.
clozapine: (☉ not today)

[personal profile] clozapine 2019-03-29 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Why don't you have a face? It's creepy as hell.

[He's cute straight to the point.]

[personal profile] tedioustrivium 2019-03-30 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Never felt the need for one.

[...okay.]
clozapine: (☉ relaxation)

wow what a typo. my bad. cute-->cut

[personal profile] clozapine 2019-03-30 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
Were you born that way or did your parents experiment on you or something?

[He reaches a hand out to grab the guy by the neck, not sure if he doesn't have one or if it's present but just invisible.]
liv_nye_the_science_pi: (gave him the runes)

tenacity

[personal profile] liv_nye_the_science_pi 2019-04-02 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Just fucking snickering.]

It does have a certain 'Three Stooges' air, doesn't it?
clozapine: (☉ right in the eye)

[personal profile] clozapine 2019-04-03 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
What the hell is so funny about it?

Come over here and I'll show you funny, lady. [In his universe she's a man. So the optics would be slightly worse if they fought here. Not that he hasn't killed his fair share of women.]

I was being metaphorical, but since you asked, your sense of timing is absolutely impeccable for someone I can only assume isn't actually TRYING.

[All it's really missing is some grainy black and white, and maybe some sound effects.]

And frankly, the fact that you're so easily falling for something obviously meant to rile you up exactly like this is almost hilarious.
clozapine: (☉ playtime's over)

[personal profile] clozapine 2019-04-07 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a whole lotta long words in there. I stopped listening after "I."

[What can he say, he's easily riled. At least when his reputation was on the table.]

Almost. It's a good thing you ain't a comedian, lady. Your sense of humor bores me.
toadthejanitor: (sideeye)

Tenacity

[personal profile] toadthejanitor 2019-04-13 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course it's a joke.

[Toad growls. He wouldn't be talking but he's almost relieved to see someone he knows of. Almost.]

A long, stupid, painful, pointless joke.

[Then again, his own screen is showing him threatening children right now.]
clozapine: (☉ bored)

[personal profile] clozapine 2019-04-14 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Almost!? It would be great if people would treat him like the A-list villain he thinks he is.]

I donno who's behind this crap, but I've got some words for them.

[The screen at least isn't just targeting him. They're all in this roasting together.]

Don't worry, you'll be fine. Everyone threatens mutant kids at least once. Not a big deal. [Lester offers him a clap on the back in solidarity at least.]

toadthejanitor: (bowtie)

[personal profile] toadthejanitor 2019-04-15 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'd hope I could come up with more for 'em than just words. But then again? This kinda kidnapping scenario always involves offers you can't refuse. Then next thing you know you're defending the Earth in court or some crap.

Yeah...

[A little distant. He's not proud of most of this. But he appreciates the solidarity far more deeply than he'd be willing to admit.]

I am what I am, you know.

[Shrug.]

You know, you gotta take a certain amount of punishment to be a good fighter.

[He nods towards Bullseye's screen.]
clozapine: (☉ wanted)

[personal profile] clozapine 2019-04-28 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hey, what can he even say to that. He just shrugs. Shit happens sometimes. Doesn't mean you have to be the bigger person, especially if you're being paid for shit. The question is who was at the bottom of it?]

Yeah, man, same. There's no fighting it at this point.

[Lester squints at the screen and winces internally at the sight before shaking his head. Yeah, he's going to put a dozen knives into whoever did this if they weren't planning on paying him a literal shit ton of cash.]

Or be really stupid. It works out better for me if they believe I'm dumb as dirt.
