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.

woods

[fistsofjustice]

[Amelia is many things, but stealthy she is not, making enough noise for an entire deer herd as she walks through the woods. Wendigo have excellent night vision and she spotted the man from a distance. She was going to ask him if he's lost, but he bolted up a tree before she even had a chance to open her mouth. Oh well.

An antlered figure steps from behind the bushes, its eyes flashing in yellow. Dead leaves crack under Amelia's hooves when she approaches the tree, staring up at the branches with a mildly curious expression.]

What are you doing up there, Mister? It's dangerous here at night.

[isbrucewayne]

It's dangerous everywhere at night. Best way to handle it is to outsmart the danger.

[He doesn't leave his position in the branches - his expression is a stone-cold poker face, unblinking, unafraid. Sure, he was staring a monster right in the face...but he had stared down plenty of monsters before.

At first glance she seems harmless enough...but looks can be deceiving, can't they?]

You've been following me.

[fistsofjustice]

[He will notice that while she's looking at him, it's never in his eyes. Amelia doesn't really know how to turn the paralyzing gaze off and terrifying him probably won't make a good first impression.]

Not really. I was just passing by when I saw you. [Obviously it drew her attention; humans don't wander these woods alone at night, not without a big hunting rifle.] I wanted to ask if you knew when you're going.

[isbrucewayne]

[He does notice - and he appreciates it. His research into monster types around here gives him the reason why, after all. He slides down and out of the tree, approaching with his eyes pointedly downcast.]

I was trying to get the perimeter - learning the area. Didn't account for cursed woods. [His tone is dry - obviously he's not impressed with the magic aspect.]

[fistsofjustice]

[Amelia still smiles when he approaches. Even if he doesn't look at her, he'll hear it in his voice. It's important to be personable and she should make up for not being able to make eye contact.]

Yeah, lots of people get lost here at first. [Not thinking much of the magic either, if only becasue she's so used to it.] But uh, you shouldn't wander too much that way. That's where the man eating flowers live.
