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 rush of cool air where there had just seconds ago been a sweltering heat left Edward light-headed for a moment. He blinks twice and breathes out a long, slow breath he hadn't even realize he'd held--well, he'd certainly stuck his foot in it now, hadn't he? Ed hadn't lied about regretting this choice, but this road wasn't going to be a nice one. Entertaining, probably, but not nice.]
[His eyes stay locked with the sin's own for several moments before he remembers the glass still in his hand. With another sigh he knocks it back, draining the half-filled glass with a grimace before setting it back down. The bottle he keeps hold of, carefully stoppered back up for later and held close to the chest. His eyes follow Greed's movements, note the keyring with interest.]
Even if I didn't, you wouldn't let me forget, would you? [No, he knows who has the proverbial leash on his new collar, who it is he answers to now. Oddly it doesn't chafe as much as the old, not yet, but then the bargain has only just been struck. There's still plenty of time for the friction to build. No sense in inviting any of it sooner than needed.]
[When the key is tossed his way he snatches it out of the air easily, and he looks it over for a moment while Greed talks. Old, broken, but still useable...there should be a joke about fitting locks here, but he can't think of it. Gold eyes flick back up, and Ed smirks as he pockets the key.] Nah, I think I got it from here.
[He turns and heads back to the door, taking that as a dismissal for the moment. He pauses before opening it though, looking at the demon with an honest, real smile.] Thanks.
Probably not - [Greed's turning away from the other as he talks, hands shoved deep into his pockets. His clawed thumbs hang out, grazing the leather trapping his thigh. He ticks his head to the side, his eyes already shut by the time Ed's heading for the door. A creep of yellow light slices into his abode, cutting in like a sliver of glass.]
Don't mention it, kid. [It's almost sincere, almost - well. Greed shoots a hand above his head, knocking his wrist off at a slant. It's a quick wave, two of his fingers tucked together like someone making a crude gesture of a firearm. Then the kid's off.]

[And he has one more to add to the growing list.]
