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.
[ tim wakes up with a start, flinching away from the pain of the kick and making a very unflattering noise. he stumbles over, trying to right himself, and once he finally calms down, looks up to the source of the disturbance.
despite the fact that his ribs are now throbbing a bit because of him, tim still smiles when he recognizes wilhelm. if he's under the impression that he's Actual Jack and Not-Jack, that'll probably change pretty quickly because of his reactions. ]
[Which is totally the important thing here, rather than the fact that he's not dead. And to be fair it kind of is, because on second thought Actual Jack would probably have been pretty pissed off at that kick. Not that Wilhelm ever gave it a first thought, never mind a second.]
Wasn't hoping. Jack pays me. You, though...
[And he grins in that "gonna explode some heads" kind of way, jabbing a finger towards Timothy's chest.]
[You have a very, very strange concept of "endearing", kid.
Wilhelm shrugs, and glances around at the trees surrounding them. It all looks exactly the damn same to him, and he has pretty much no idea whereabouts they are or which way they'd need to go in order to get out.
He should probably be concerned. But it's Wilhelm; he's mostly just bored.]
[ yeah, tim's idea of endearing is pretty loose. it includes people who don't want to kill him, people who will shoot other people on his behalf, and cats. it works well for him.
he hauls himself up from the ground and brushes himself off, looking around as if it'll give him some sort of gauge as to their location. nope -- all the trees still look mostly the same, with no discernible path. ]
That's...a surprise.
[ both because of wilhelm's nature in general, and because tim expected there to be at least a few dangerous things somewhere in here. ]
If we pick a direction and stick with it, we should get some results.
[Or he was trying to follow it, at least. It was kind of hard to tell which direction it was actually coming from. Which was probably part of the reason why he'd ended up so hopelessly lost.
Just be thankful he didn't have his guns with him, or he'd probably have been trudging through the woods firing in random directions and that would not have ended well.]
Don't think I'm gonna carry you if you fall asleep again.

I'm glad, 'cuz I've seen what you do to people you don't.
[ he rubs at his eyes briefly, still waking up. ]
You manage to get lost in here too?

Haven't even found anything worth killing.
