Welcome to Ryslig's test drive meme! If you're considering apping here, this is where you can try your characters out in the game's setting. A few things to note:
You can only app ONE character per round so choose wisely.
We now have a Quick Game Facts that simplifies the basic information about the game. Good if you want to see what the game is at a glance!
Lots of people have asked good questions on the FAQ, so do take a look.
Test drive meme threads can be used for your roleplay sample!
NEW! Players with characters already in the game can earn up to a maximum of 3 coins per bonus coin group (so 6 total) by replying to potential character threads! You will need to have your normal 20 comment AC in the game. You cannot use this to go over the bonus 20 coins per month total, but you can use it if you are missing some threads to reach that coin total. Same rules as normal bonuses apply.
Sample scenarios:
SCENARIO ONE: So you've just arrived, fresh out of the hospital, and already the natives are trying to get on your good side. Offers of food, shelter and other luxuries in return for hoping you don't eat them. They even have some helpful pamphlets to share with you. "How To Deal With Changes", "Alternatives to Human Flesh", "What to Expect When You're Expecting (to turn into a monster)" are all great pamphlets. There's even some detailing certain monsters, and the changes they go through. Some of these seem to have been passed down from one monster to the next.
Among these however, are some... not so helpful ones. "Bunnyipyips And You", "Axe Thief Axehounds," and "So you're becoming a Fur Bearing Trout" among others. Sometimes they have marks on them from previous people who had them saying they are lies, or pointing out good "jokes."
SCENARIO TWO: You've become hopelessly lost in Lager Woods. Paths don't seem to lead where you remember them leading, and you feel as if you're going around in circles. Childlike giggling can be heard from no direction in particular. Suddenly, you stumble upon another character, who seems to be just as lost as you! Perhaps you can find a way out together. Or maybe they want you for lunch...
SCENARIO THREE: You've heard about the fog, but you've never seen it before. Now, the mist surrounds you. Barely able to see before you, you need to get home - and fast. It's far too dangerous in this situation.
SCENARIO FOUR: The time has come and you've found yourself becoming a monster. Is the change instant, or gradual? Are you familiar enough with monsters to know what's happening, or is it a complete shock? NOTE: Feel free to pick any monster type for this prompt, but note that you may not get the same one in game.
[Bucky spent a lot of time in the woods, even before his changes at started, but even more afterwards. It was quiet, he didn't feel so self conscious, and he didn't have much else to worry about.
He wasn't lost himself, but he was still startled to see someone else. At least he held himself back from lashing out, and stepped away quickly instead, like a spooked animal.]
[As soon as he sees the man, Tsukikage knows to be cautious. He knows a fighter when he sees one, and the way he's acting isn't helping his own nerves.]
There were worse things in the forest than the noises anyway. Things like monsters. But they would be safe now, with Bucky there. Skye had been right; no one wanted to mess with him. Whether it was because of the way he moved, or now because he smelled vaguely like bear.]
[He doesn't ask any other of the questions he had, most of them really being various degrees of concern. Get in, get out. That's how he generally operates.]
[And he was supposed to be good with direction, but there were no familiar landmarks to orient himself with. At least, not when he'd first arrived. Now he knew the way around some areas quite well.]
I think it's just common. Maybe there's something about the woods, too.
[He wouldn't be surprised, not with the fog that rolled in every so often. If there was fog that turned people into monsters, why not woods that got people lost?]

Yes?
no subject
Could you tell me how to get out of the woods?
[That's all he'll ask. Really.]
no subject
Okay. It's easier to show you. Did you come from Bavan?
[Not that it mattered much unless he'd come from towards the castle, which was in the other direction.]
no subject
[Heading for the biggest city for the most information, so the logic goes.]
If you could show me, I'd appreciate it, sir.
no subject
[He gestured for the man to follow him, and started to walk. He was polite on top of the simple request, and Bucky appreciated that.]
no subject
...
he shudders]
Do these woods always make these sounds?
no subject
[Unless they were filled with singing plants, but that was something else entirely.]
I've never seen what makes those noises. It might be harmless. [Might be. Maybe. No promises.]
no subject
Hopefully they'll continue to not make themselves known.

no subject
Why were you in the woods, sir?
[He's not usually one to talk, but knowing something about the situation is worth the sacrifice of silence]
no subject
I like the quiet. It helps me focus.
[And maybe the bear liked it too.]
no subject
[He doesn't ask any other of the questions he had, most of them really being various degrees of concern. Get in, get out. That's how he generally operates.]
no subject
[He thought it was only fair, considering he'd been asked first.]
no subject
[As much as he hates to admit it]
no subject
[He wouldn't be very surprised. This place was easy to get lost in when you were new.]
no subject
[And it's annoying because he prides himself in being able to scout an area quickly]
no subject
[And he was supposed to be good with direction, but there were no familiar landmarks to orient himself with. At least, not when he'd first arrived. Now he knew the way around some areas quite well.]

[He gives another nod and stalks behind silently. That's all he really has to ask]
