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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

You're not going to find much on the DOS that can help you in the woods. It's mostly for communicating, honestly. And you're more likely to run into jerks using it than someone helpful.

[The illumination from the screen is honestly all she needs to spot him, and sensitive ears pick up his words far too easily in the forest.]

It's also not exactly too smart of an idea to be wandering around in the woods, you might end up getting eaten by someone or something. [Which, thankfully, isn't her intent here and now. But she does get close enough for him to see her fully.] Not that i'm going to, mind you, so don't worry about that, and don't bother running either. It's not exactly the smartest thing to do, and I'd catch you anyway.

[Just in case he gets any ideas. She can't say she didn't warn him.]

So there are even internet trolls in a spooky monster land. Wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not.

[He's trying to be funny, don't mind him. He sighs, closing the screen and turning to look at...the deer girl?? Maybe if he understood how monsters worked here more, the names of them, he'd be significantly more freaked out. As is, he glances her up and down once, then offers a friendly, if somewhat nervous, smile.]

Yeah, I'm pretty good at being a walking entrée. I don't think I'm gonna win my wilderness survival badge any time soon.

[He rubs the back of his neck. ] Don't suppose you know the way out of here to reduce my chances of being eaten. By you or...anyone else who's in the creepy woods. I'm pretty lost.

[Well, he's funny enough that she does laugh slightly, shoulders relaxing at the shift in mood. She can still tell he's nervous, but it's a lot easier to talk with someone who isn't running in fear.]

Most people who end up here are walking entrée's when they first show up. Try not to think too much of it. [Xion shrugs, trying to lighten the mood with a small smile.] Don't worry too much about dying here, you'll come back with the fog if you do. It's not pleasant, but it's nothing to worry too much over, I guess. As for reducing your chances of being eaten... Find someone you know. Failing that, there are some people who'll take you in for a bit. And if you still can't find any help, I have a pretty big castle here, if you don't mind sleeping with a wendigo around. You'll get your own room, at least.

[The laugh does relax him a little. He prides himself on being funny, so it helps to know he still is. Even here. After everything. ]

Okay. No wait. You come back from the de-

[No, stop. There was an even worse word there and a horrible look of pure dread crosses his features and stays there. ]

We- There are wendigos here? As in- [He lets out a few panicked breaths, making slashing and biting gestures with his hands. ]

As in fucking wendigos? Because I gotta tell you. I am one billion per cent done with wendigos. I am so done with wendigos I'll even ignore flaws in basic math.

Oh. I uh, guess that you have wendigos where you're from? [Probably not a good thing then, huh?]

We have them here. And shades and faeries and gargoyles and werewolves too, to name a few. Honestly though, they're not really too bad, I don't think? [Her and Madoka are fine, after all.]

I uh, I'm a wendigo. Cold, dead, and permanently hungry and everything.

[Judging by the utter horror on his face, yep. Definitely has wendigos where he's from. He looks her up and down for a second, torn between just RUNNING (no. bad idea) and...staying there (maybe a better idea???)

He gestures to the...horns and fur and all that jazz.]

Y- you don't look like a wendigo. They look more like-

[An actual walking nightmare. ]

Like people, only wrong

They might be a little different here than in your world. I'd never actually heard about them before I ended up here. The wendigo here look more like me. They have pretty deer like traits. And antlers, most of the time.

[He swallows hard, tries to battle down his growing terror. She's not the same. She's having a conversation with him for a start. The others did not do that. At all. ]

That's...really weird.

[He pauses, looking her up and down. ]

You're reallynot gonna eat me? Because that was their M.O back home.

Well, I'll try not to. But you kind of are what I eat, so. I generally don't make a habit of eating newcomers, at the very least.

[Though it is the smarter idea, considering that they come back and the people native to this world don't.]

...You know, that's really not as comforting as you probably think that sounds. Hate to break it to you, but it's really not.

Though I guess I'm weird what with my aversion to cannibalism and everything.

[And not for the obvious reasons. Not any more. Thanks, Blackwood Mountain, thanks. ]

No, I didn't think it would be, honestly. [She shrugs a little helplessly.]

I understand though. It's not like I like eating people or anything. It's just an unfortunate necessity now. Definitely hope you don't end up a wendigo here. It's not exactly pleasant.

Trust me, the last thing I want to be is a wendigo. That's pretty much nightmare scenario numero one.
