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.
The kind of stuff a hotel would sell, right? [The Greenvale Tourism board's been hit hard lately, but that didn't mean they'd stopped trying altogether. Come See The Sights is universal. It's just... monster sights here, apparently.
But what can she do? If this is a hoax, it's an elaborate one. And if it's not...
[That gets a light chuckle.] Almost exactly. Heaven knows I've looked through enough of those sorts of fliers before.
[The teachers often gave her them to look over before booking one for a school trip, after all. Not to mention various vacations.] Can't say that it's a very effective campaign in this case, though.
I'm sure a visit to this town isn't complete without trying to catch a fur bearing trout. [If she knows her travel brochures.]
Though I'm guessing claims of being turned into one are... highly exaggerated, at best. [Made up wholesale, most likely. But she knows the importance of local legends, or at least, how much locals will try to keep them.]
Come on, don't tell me you'd fall for this... made up nonsense. [No way there's fur bearing trout. Or-- any of this. And if there were, these pamphlets-- well. They wouldn't be the best place to start. Would they?
People offered her things, she remembers now, walking down the street. They seemed... scared of her. But... let's not jump to conclusions. There's a perfectly reasonable explanation.
Maybe one of the locals will be kind enough to tell us.
[Thankfully she can't answer than inner monologue. She does pause for a minute, though, crossing her arms in thought before smiling again.] I may not be able to tell you where this place is but I can introduce myself; I'm Yuriika Hakonaka.
[She steps off the street to the sidewalk and approaches a few NPCs, who offer her gifts she doesn't take and nervous shaky grins she doesn't like. When she asks the name of the town, the answer gets barked out as quickly as possible. There are offers for a map, too. She doesn't take that one, either. But she's thinking about it when she walks back.]
Well, from what I can tell, this city's called Vandare.

Maybe she shouldn't finish that thought.]

Hm, yes, it does seem rather improbable. [Though. There are things that seem improbable in the world that are true.]

There has to be.]

[She's heard of stranger things.] Though, this place does seem to be out of some mystery novel.

Nice to meet you, Yuriika. [Taking a stab that she'd prefer going by first name here.] My name's Emily, Emily Wyatt.

[She nods slightly.] We could, of course.

[She waits and watches. How effective! Though, it doesn't escape her notice the unease of the locals. It's something she recognizes easily.]
Vandare, hm. I can't say I recognize the name.
