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.
[In the most anti-climatic horror movie build up of all time, your ominous looming figure in the darkness is... Aradia Megido. At least it wasn't her when she was a ghost, though -- that would've still been pretty scary, regardless of the fact that she was a familiar face and he could consider her a friend. Instead, he lucks out by getting the bright red and happy alpha timeline pajama version, a wide smile across her face despite their rather alarming surroundings. But again, it's Aradia you're talking about; since when has horror ever bothered her?]
Man, this place is so cool, huh? It's like a mystery waiting to be solved.
You can't get less ominous than an alive Aradia Megido (Probably.) and at once he's at ease. ]
Hi, Aradia. [ His shoulders slump, he needs a minute to get that bloodpusher down from FRANTIC I AM GOING TO DIE pulserate. ] After all the time in the dreambubbles I'm sort of, all mysteried out. [ They stop being fun after you spent solid ghost millennia digging around through spooky ruins for some mystical, undefined treasure while someone yells at you.
Okay, whew. Calm. He's calm. ] But, I don't want to dampen your enjoyment of it by being a downer, so, have you been exploring?
[Aradia just wanted to watch the world burn, which was distinctly different than causing the world to burn, thank you very much. That was Vriska's job, what with her "destroy-the-dreambubbles" plan.]
I don't see how you can adventure too much, but that's just me.
[She picks her way through the brush to close the remaining distance between Tavros and herself, hands on her hips in a casual manner.]
Of course I have! But I had hoped to do a little more exploring than just these woods... I kiiiind of can't find my way back out.
being absolutely one hundred percent lost in hellmurder woods. Fantastic. He's still in his deck swab outfit and she's bright red and they're probably going to be eaten. ] Oh. Great.
[Dont worry Tavros, Aradia has no plans to be eaten any time soon! And think of it this way, who else would you rather be stuck in a spooky haunted forest with than the good friend that has been talking to ghosts since she was a grub? Powerless or not, she wasn't gonna let anyone boss her around.]
That's the spirit! As long as we stick together, we're sure to find our way out of this. Now....
[She looks around them, pursing her lips thoughtfully.]
Well, we could start by going back the way I just came from, but, I don't think that's the right way.
[ Team Charge, back in action! There is that, at least. This could feel like a FLARP campaign. Actually, it's probably better than a FLARP campaign. No highbloods to jack their brains and lead to terrible things happening. ]
[ No bossy bossypants, only adventure and spooky ghosts and hopefully getting unlost! ]
Okay. It was, definitely this way. [ He's like... 95 percent sure. But he stops and gives another look, getting that last five percent confirmation before he sets off. ]

At least we're not lost, by ourselves anymore?

Doesn't hurt to try! Sometimes the way that seems the least likely ends up being the best choice.
[Aradia scuffs the ground with her foot, making a large X in the dirt.]
There, that way we know for sure if we end up going in a circle. Lead the way, Tavros!
