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.
Wh- No! [His tone sounds quite offended, and he gives Pearl a grumpy frown.]
I'm way past my "pubescent" stage, lady. I mean, don't'cha think I'm a little too tall to still be gettin' zits and whatever? [That said while motioning to his stature.]
Oh no, not at all! [ She says brightly. The crumpled pamphlet gets delicately set down next to her, so she has her hands free to better gesticulate while she's talking. ] First of all, the correlation between height and age varies so greatly between individuals that it's hardly fair to use someone's size to assume how old they are. And secondly, I've read that humans never really lose their susceptibility to breakouts of acne anyway. So technically, you physically can't be too old to get "zits".
[ She totally does the air quotes there, too. Is that a trace of smugness in her voice? PROBABLY. But you can't prove anything, Lars. ]
Are you kidding? I'm over six feet tall! What kind of kid is over six feet tall? [It sounds dumb to not assume age based on heights, when the person in question is so tall. It's not every day someone under 15 reaches the height that he has, after all.]
And whatever you're readin' is wrong because I haven't had any breakouts since middle school! [As if a few years without zits totally proves his point..]
[ Wow you did not just diss her research methods, Lars. Pearl crosses her arms, sniffs indignantly and cocks her head, giving him a distinctly unimpressed look. ]
I sincerely doubt that you know more about the matter than all of the Earths' foremost medical experts, do. And I don't know why you're getting so upset with me,you're the one who keeps asking me all of these absurd questions!
I only asked 'ya one question and it wasn't even serious! [How Steven puts up with you, Lars has no-- actually, no. Steven can put up with pretty much anything.]
