TEST DRIVE

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!
• Ryslig's FAQ is located here, so please take a look if you have questions.
• The reserve date is 11/27.
• Test drive meme threads can be used for your roleplay sample!
• Players with characters already in the game can earn up to a maximum of 6 coins by replying to potential character threads! You cannot use this to go over the bonus 20 coins per month total, but you can use it 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: 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.

SCENARIO FOUR:The claws, the fangs, the pangs of hunger - horrible as they all are, it's manageable given enough time and perseverance. Local monster hunters, though, not so much.

Maybe it started with a few wayward glances on the outskirts of town, critical stares and disapproving whispers, or just the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Whatever it was, deserved or entirely unprovoked, you're being hunted: a handful of aggressive, well-armed humans doggedly chase your trail throughout city streets and out into the open, and if you're not careful (if you don't find help soon) you might wind up as the next trophy kill claim on one of those hunter's walls.

[ Haru has no intentions on hurting anybody. He's very weak anyway, so it's not like he could hurt people even if he wanted to.

He stumbles out under the trees, slips on a branch on the ground and has to keep himself up by grabbing onto a branch of a bush with thorns. He flinches, but he can only hope that it isn't poisonous.

He doesn't even notice Bruce. ]

...Damnit.

[isbrucewayne]

[It's just a kid.

A weak, lost-looking kid at that.

When he determines the level of danger is minimal, Bruce drops silently from his perch, approaching Haru in as harmless a fashion as he can muster. He doesn't want to be mistaken for an aggressor, either.]

You okay?

[tinypebble]

[ When Bruce shows up as if out of nowhere, Haru takes a step back. Who is this guy? And what the hell does he want?

He takes another step backwards. ]

Who are you?!

[isbrucewayne]

[Yeah, he has that effect on people.]

I'm not here to hurt you. I'm lost, just the same as you are. I was hiding in a tree when I heard something approaching - saw you trip.

My name is Bruce.

[tinypebble]

Uh.

[ He starts by introducing himself by nothing but his given names? Who is he, Touya? ]

...Igarashi Haru.

[ He doesn't back away anymore, but his guard is up in case he needs to protect his face or vitals. ]

[isbrucewayne]

[You'll have to excuse Bruce. He's American.

BUT he is also a businessman, and he realizes his faux pas quickly enough. A polite bob of the head in response.]

Bruce Wayne, if it makes you more comfortable. Good to meet you. Wish the circumstances were better.

Is it just me, or do all the paths in here lead in a circle?

[tinypebble]

[ Haru really isn't used to anyone outside of school talking to him, honestly. It's not just the American thing.

Or, well. Not many people are nice to him, so there's that too. ]

Yeah, um. I wouldn't say it's good to meet you right now, cuz you're a stranger and I have no idea where I am, so...

[ So please keep a little bit of distance, is what he wants to say, but he's the lowest caste at his school, telling people that aren't Touya to do stuff doesn't come easy. The last time he did that he ended up being turned into a girl's pet and forced to crawl on all fours. ]
