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.

[...Is this guy for real?

The Replica was content to watch for a little while, because a random prettyboy making weird faces came with some entertainment value, but with the way he's talking, he... wasn't human? And that's interesting. Too interesting to ignore.

So, uh. Pardon the scaly loser dropping down from one of the treetops with a tiny hint of a smirk.]

Actually, you're made of water, but close enough, right? I'd enjoy it while it lasts, 'cause there's no telling what you'll turn into next.

[hothotleg]

[Riku's sudden drop definitely seems to startle him, based on the way he jumps in surprise. Looking over his shoulder, though, he knows he has no reason to be on edge.
After all, it's another monster! ... One he doesn't recognize.
But it's not like he's met every monster from the Underground.

Either way, Riku's getting a showy, TV-host smile to counter that smirk.]

Water? Is that so... Humans are strange, aren't they, darling?
If I'm made of water now, where did all of that magic go?

[He was like.... 90% magic before. With some metal thrown in for good measure.
So it's a good question!]

[darkened]

[...Darling? Really? The Replica leans back a little, arching his scaly brow.]

Gone, unless you count the gods and whatever powers we get as monsters. Weapons, too-- they take it all away, leave us as harmless humans.

It sucks.

[He says this with an indignant huff, folding his arms.]

[mttbrand]

Oh, humans are anything but harmless, darling.
Haven't you heard the stories...?

[Wait.
... This guy talks like he wasn't a monster originally. That's...
New?? And weird.
Mettaton looks pretty dang confused about it, too.]

You... don't sound like you're supposed to be a monster.
If you don't mind me asking, sweetheart, what... are you supposed to be?

[darkened]

[Stories, huh? He's about to ask when Mettaton changes the subject. Rather than jump to more questions, he snorts and points his thumb at himself.]

Believe it or not, I used to be human. Sorta. ...It's complicated.

[And yeah, humans can be powerful. He knows that.]

Point is, humans here don't have any fancy weapons or magic. They're powerless.
