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.

[It's not often that someone comes in with the amount of injuries that the girl in front of her is suffering from, and Xion can rather clearly smell the blood on her and it aggravates her hunger something fierce, quite honestly. It's a good thing she's eaten recently, or she wouldn't be sure that approaching the girl on the floor was the best of ideas.

Cautiously, she steps forward, leaning downwards enough and hopefully doing good at not looking like the monster she is.]

Hey, you don't look so good. Do you need some help? One of the doctors, maybe?

[... Well. It's certainly a good thing that the wendigo in Ryslig look absolutely nothing like the wendigo Ashley's had to deal with, or else this would've been going a whole lot worse. She's still pretty freaked out by the girl's appearance; her breathing coming in shorter and quicker, her hands and feet scrambling on the floor in an attempt to move back further...]

No no no. Just. Please stay back, I don't need anything...

[It's a lie. Such a lie. But she just... doesn't give a shit right now.]

Hey, you don't have to worry, I'm not going to hurt you. You look like you're in pretty rough shape, is all. I want to help.

[Xion doesn't move from her spot, letting the other girl back away as she wants. It wont do her any good to try and force her into accepting help anyway, after all. She might end up scaring her more.]

I've been in this place for a long time, I can probably answer some questions that you might have, you know?

I'm fine. I'm... it's just my eye. I'm okay.

[Aside from a few bumps and bruises and a slightly singed smell due to being so close to the exploding lodge, she really is. If Xion's nose is sensitive enough to tell the difference, she'll see that not even the blood caking her left side is hers, or anyone's; it's pig blood.]

I just... I need to find a way out of here. I need to go home.

[She almost whimpers that last word. Just... everything that happened last night, everything about waking up here... she just wants to escape it all. She wants to lock herself in her room, bury herself under every blanket and pillow she has, and just. Hide for a very long time.]

There isn't a way home, sorry. We're all stuck here.

[She feels for this girl, she really, really does. She'd been in much the same position, sans the terrible physical state when she had first arrived. It's become easier to deal with over time, of course, but now.. Now it's just every day life.]

You're not fine either. That looks like it hurts a lot. I'm sure there's some doctors here who would help you despite everything.

That's impossible. There's no guards or anything here; how can we be trapped?

[She huffs, reaching up to cover her black eye. It stings, but... she's just so numb with all her adrenaline finally wearing off, so it doesn't hurt all that much.]

I don't want to see a doctor here. Who knows what kind of weird shit might happen?

We're stuck on this world. No one here can leave of their own will, and honestly, I don't think people want to keep us here either. But really, if you're hurt you should be seen by someone, yeah? They wont hurt you. They're actually a lot more afraid of us than we are of them.

This... world? What are you talking about?

[Oh geez, is everyone going crazy here? Not just her?]

Its... complicated if you don't know anything before hand, but there's lots of worlds out there. This is one of them, the peninsula is called Ryslig, and we were brought here against our will to fight in a war between two gods.

[She shifts uncomfortably, rubbing a clawed hand against her arm.]

We don't have a choice, and we can't leave until one side wins.

... What the fuck.

Because really, what else can you say to that?]

What is this, some kind of weird-ass modern-day greek myth? The gods are asshoels and decide to drag the poor humans into shit that doesn't affect them at all, and totally fucks them over?

More or less, a guess? [Xion shrugs. She'd never met any of the greek gods herself, but maybe they were jerks.]

I mean, there's always a chance that you'll end up going home. No one really knows why it happens yet, though.

So you go home, and you're still some messed-up monster... [A pause.] Er, no offense.

[Foot, meet mouth...]

How is that any better, though? Because now you're freaking out all the people back home, and maybe scaring them off...
