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.
( he'd have to have a personality to pass a rigorous personality test, okok. the extent of his characteristics amount to being an asshole, being a sarcastic asshole, being a cheesy asshole and having issues with authority figures.
aka bossing him around is likely to get you not a damn thing, but you're welcome to try. you might even get a consolation prize for your trouble.
spoilers: it'll be that piece of crust you were going to give him for hauling all of your shit around. two can play that game, ahuh-ahuh.
… he likes dogs. there will be no negative comments about dogs. ( maybe some jabs about how mabari drool all over everything they come into contact with, but. nothing more than that. ) he's still gonna collect that two hundred dollars, though. gotta make that money somehow. with as little effort on his part as possible, duh.
so very nice of her. yes. a full piece of toast and a cheerful boot to the ass – how fucking kind. this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship, isn't it? how long is it going to be before she starts trying to teach him some real manners? )
… Make that Dante. ( judging you for that sense of humor, jesus christ in heaven don't you ever say shit like that again.
but here he is, starting to move her pile o' shit to the other side of the street.
[ That's a lot of ass. You might want to go see a doctor, man... 'cheesy asshole' sounds like a v/serious medical condition. Or alternatively maybe a shower now and then might be in order? She'll even donate a bar of soap. Hygiene is important!
THE WARDEN DOES WHAT THE WARDEN WANTS. If she wants to throw her weight around, that's absolutely going to happen. All he's going to get if they do butt heads is a severe migraine.
Cousland responds to the name correction with a careless shrug your loss, that was a rad joke and settles on the curb to let him do all the lifting. At least that's the initial idea... if he keeps going piece by piece, chances are very good this simple moving task is literally going to take all day. Possibly all night if more things keep getting added to the pile by the natives. ]
You know, for a helpful sort, you do like to take your time.
[ She's more so making a polite observation than anything else - if he wants to move at a glacial pace, that's well within his rights. Dante's just making it harder on himself since she's in no particular hurry. ] You'll miss lunch at that rate.
[ Damn right Cousland will go get herself a snack in the next ten minutes and refuse to share, if it comes to that. Passive aggressiveness is a two way street. B| ]
( hygiene is important. coming from someone that spends too much of her time camping with elves and warhounds and dwarves … well, maybe that's the reason hygiene is so important, hm? wouldn't want to walk around smelling like all of that all the time, now would you?
being a cheesy asshole is probably more a medical condition than it is anything else. it could be treated, but he wouldn't want to go for that even if it were brought to his attention, so. you're going to have to deal with the cheesiness. you're gonna deal with it, and you're gonna like it.
and hey, at least it isn't nacho cheese. that shit gets everywhere … and then what are you going to do?
if they butt heads, he'll get more than a migraine. he'll get a startling inclination to throw his own weight around, and even though he's never really thought about smacking girls around, this one looks like she could take it. lbr, since he has no nephilim powers here she could tank toward him and knock him the fuck over. probably. maybe. WHO KNOWS MAYBE WE'LL HAVE TO FIND OUT.
he starts by moving it all piece by piece, but at the mention of missing lunch … he might just decide to pick up the pace a little. two or three pieces at a time, now, look at him go!
because if she goes and gets herself a snack and doesn't share … there are going to be words to be had. and they aren't going to be nice ones. )
I always take my time. ( a laugh, and he does pause for dramatic effect. ) Don't wanna overexert myself, y'know?
[ HEY. Rude. Warhounds are very clean creatures. Sure, they might be a little drooly and/or overly affectionate sometimes, but nobody with intact eyeballs can resist the puppy eyes regardless of the size of the 'puppy' involved.
No comment on the dwarf or elf. She takes no responsibility for their hygiene or lack thereof. ]
How about that, he does have a faster setting. [ Impudent remarks ahoy! Get used to it Dante you'll be hearing from her a lot. c: ] You might actually reach 'sufficient' at that rate. Congratulations!
[ Smacking girls arou -- Dante no. Some of those girls hit like a truck with extreme prejudice. Why can't they just yell obscenities at each other in the middle of the street like civilized people instead? Less bruises, possibly learning some new cuss words, entertainment, etc. Much better way to vent some steam, right? No need for violence!
Anyway. Back to watching with growing amusement while he s l o w l y ferries things back and forth. Sadly, for every two items he takes out, some native drops at least one or two more things on her loot hoard.
Dante could theoretically ask for her help and she might seriously consider it, you know. ]
