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.
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 per bonus coin group (so 6 total) 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 20 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. Some of these seem to have been passed down from one monster to the next.
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. Sometimes they have marks on them from previous people who had them saying they are lies, or pointing out good "jokes."
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.
[ Jay catches one of the pamphlet, though it's a clumsy movement he has to make. He flips through it, wondering why the heck a fish would have fur in the first place, then glances up at the man who threw the thing his way, head cocked to one side and eyes narrowed. His eyes no longer glow now that he's human, but they're still astonishingly blue. ]
Die of what precisely, darling? Monstrosity itself isn't, ah, deadly. Except to bystanders.
[ He should know. He's mortal now, but he'd been a changeling before he woke up here. A changeling isn't always a monster, of course, but sometimes it felt close. ]
[He's got one pamphlet left in his hands] Look, these monster things - if they really are monsters? Who knows if they're gonna live forever? Everything dies.
I mean - [He flips the pamphlet] How to handle your life as a minotaur but anything fictional...
[Oh god. Did he read it wrong? He flips through one and then another.] So it's a different kind of bullshit. Trying to blatantly lie to people about the only real monster that's...out there?
[Someone looks more then a little lost then. But he soldiers on.]
I'm sure you could still eventually die as a minotaur. A shot to the head'll kill anything. And there's more humans then there are monsters I'll bet.
[ Jay frowns in confusion, looking at Daniel like he just sprouted a second head. Everything dies? What the hell is this man on about, has he never met a Spirit? ]
Er, darling? Not everything dies. I've never met a shoggot that knew one of its brethren to succumb to a bullet of all things! Don't be ridiculous.
Besides, I've made it almost a century without dying. I've had a lot of practise.
[ Almost a century? He doesn't look a day older than twenty-two, if even that. He's remarkably fresh-faced and bright-eyed. ]
[ Jay smiles wryly at the guy. He's not high or drunk (yet) and he thinks it's funny that's the conclusion Dan jumped to. He makes a vague gesture with one long-fingered hand.
His fingers are a little too long for comfort. He'd retained that, even now that he's in a fully-mortal body. ]
I'm sorry to say I don't have anything to share, darling. I had neither my laudanum nor my cigarettes when I, ah, arrived here. That or the doctors quietly confiscated both--
[ He cocks his head to one side again and looks at Dan, musingly, one finger tapping against his own jawbone. ]
Dead, huh? I just went to sleep and woke up ... well, you know. Here.

[He tosses the last pamphlet] Or we're both drugged.
Before I came here I thought I was dead.
