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.
[She laughs at that.] A witch? Yes, indeed. [She's been called one all her life, and quite fancied the title. Though really, she's no different than any mage -- just more learned in the older magics than most.] A Witch of the Wilds, I've been called. As such, I would fancy myself better able to navigate a forest than what has been shown today.
[Jeez. He'd asked in all seriousness, but to hear her answer so plainly still takes him aback.]
Yeah, well, it's a magic woods, don't take it too hard. You're probably doin' better'n me, you know, at least you're a witch o' the wilds. I'm just a city boy.
Well, this city boy may be trapped here, but at least you have a witch of the wilds to tell you that I should not have seen this tree four times in the past hour. [She folds her arms and glares at the tree like it can be blamed for all of her troubles. As far as she knows, it could be.]
One feature of curses is that there is always a way to break one. Unfortunately, we need more information than the fact we are lost and that far off laughter to attempt anything like that. Perhaps the insight of a native, who knows this place better than we.
[Sounds reasonable enough-- and given she's the witch, he'll take her at her word. That being said, however . . .]
Cept you're the first person I've seen in hours, and I'm guessin' it's the same for you. So that bein' said, we can either start walkin' or camp, and I'll let you choose, since you're the one who's smart about all this.
[Well, that's fine enough. She prefers to have a say in what she does, especially now that she's left the Warden, but maybe not in a situation that seems so unwinnable. She considers her options for a moment.]
I have been walking long enough. We may as well camp, by the road so perhaps another may come upon us by way of that path.
And I suppose we ought to exchange introductions, as I imagine we are to be seeing much more of each other for the foreseeable future. I am Morrigan.
[She nods at the gesture, keeping it in mind to take that seat later. Though for now, it's time to set up camp.]
The normal way? Yes, though not from experience. Generally I have made fires by my magic, but that has been stolen from me by the powers that govern this place. We shall see if I can do it, only going by what I've heard. 'Tis the same theory, the only difference is the actual lighting of the fire.
We will need firewood. Hopefully this forest does not mind us using its wood to burn.

You a witch, then?

[He offers her a grin and gestures to where he was sitting. There isn't actually much there, but it's the gesture that counts.]
You know how to make a fire?
