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!
Lots of people have asked good questions on the FAQ, so do take a look.
The reserve date has been announced (it was changed to the 30th to allow a maximum number of people compared to a Friday).
Test drive meme threads can be used for your roleplay sample!
NEW! Players with characters already in the game can earn up to a maximum of 3 coins by replying to potential character threads! You will need to have your normal 20 comment AC in the game. You cannot use this to go over the bonus 10 coins per month total, but you can use it if you are missing some threads 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.
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.
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: You've heard about the fog, but you've never seen it before. Now, the mist surrounds you. Barely able to see before you, you need to get home - and fast. It's far too dangerous in this situation.
SCENARIO FOUR: 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.
[That's Hawke's voice, all right, and her face--sort of her face. Fenris takes a few instinctive steps back, eyes wide. They'd been separated for some time, and one supposes anything can happen, but Fenris would never have anything like this.]
Hawke? What--what are you?
[Unless this is an illusion; a nightmare. He wishes. more than ever, that he had his sword.]
[She coughs, a clawed hand reaching up to rub anxiously at a horn. They've been separated for a while, and she's missed Fenris something fierce, but she supposes she should've seen that coming--the steps back, the wide eyes, the questions. It's the wide eyes, though, that hurt her most--this is Fenris, after all, this is her friend.]
Not an abomination, surprisingly. [Bad jokes at a time like this, Hawke? Really?] As it turns out, if you want to be a dragon hard enough, someone with a particularly twisted sense of humor decides to give you exactly what you want.
[Does she know that, technically, she's a gargoyle? Well, yes, but still.]
[It's funny--or it might be funny, given any other set of circumstances. Hawke remains Fenris's first and truest friend, but it's difficult to process what's in front of him.
He doesn't keep moving backwards, but he doesn't take a step towards her yet, either.]
Better than what they're offering. [She nods to the native nearby, with an armful of pamphlets in his hands.] You'll want to sit down for it. I'd find you a bottle of wine, but I'm still banned from the nearest bar.
[There is, conveniently, a bench just nearby, and Hawke drops right into it and winces a bit when the backrest digs into her wings a bit too much, leaning forward and resting her arms on her lap instead. She's found one disadvantage to having wings: it takes a bit more effort to sit comfortably.]
[He takes a seat, still wary. The more she speaks, the more he believes that is the Hawke he knew, cared for, missed. Or it's someone much like her, at any rate. The humor's there, and the warmth.

Just--not the way you wanted it.

Not an illuminating explanation.

He's not over the wings yet, though.]
All right, Hawke. I'm listening.
