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.
"I don't think anybody would choose to become a monster. Uh, not... physically. I've seen it metaphorically happen, but not literal horns and wings and... whatever I am."
He holds out his own hand, and the bits of his face that are visible are curious as he examines his fingers.
Well, that reference somehow didn't work, so let's pretend it didn't happen. At all. Awesome. Normally he would poke fun at someone not knowing such a well-known literary character, but he can't when it's a pretty lady. That would require guts and being rude, rather than cheeky.
The shadows flair up, and any electronics nearby being to flicker; a side effect of shade abilities, but in this situation, Otacon being overwhelmed. He's silent for some time, before his voice comes out weakly. Broken.
"... okay. I shouldn't... be surprised this is how it would end up."

At least until the wings come in. After watching some other transformations, Joan's reconciled herself to the fact that it won't be pleasant.
"It took me awhile to be convinced too."
no subject
"... pretty. Uhm, I mean --"
He's really bad with women, normally. His shadowy tendrils curl up shyly.
no subject
Joan spends a lot of time with socially awkward nerds. This one is kind of adorable.

He holds out his own hand, and the bits of his face that are visible are curious as he examines his fingers.
no subject
In this moment, Joan really wishes there were more information on the different monster types. At least she knew as a gargoyle vaguely what to expect.
no subject
His smile seems sad, but there's some humour to the situation.
"That works for me. It... fits, really. I'm better at hiding than anything."
no subject
Joan wonders for a moment what this man did before arriving in Ryslig. Perhaps something similar to her situation?
no subject
"Well, it's safer, for one."
no subject
She thinks back to Andrew and how he was only tangentially involved until... suddenly he became a target.

The awkward chuckling intensifies and he resumes being an oddly-shaped shadow blob with glowing white glasses peering at her.
"Well, I need... a lot. Like, I... I read that monsters get hungry."
no subject
Was this some kind of pop culture reference?
"...We all get hungry. But it takes awhile for it to get bad."
no subject
"... hungry for what?"
no subject
"Humans. Or human energy. It depends."
Bluntly works too.
no subject
"... okay. I shouldn't... be surprised this is how it would end up."
no subject
Gruesome ways. And not always perfect fixes.
no subject
The shadows sigh and he finally takes a solid form again, fiddling with his glasses.
no subject
Joan herself isn't too certain how shades work, but she knows a few who would be willing to help out a new transformation.
no subject
no subject
No matter how monstrous they may look on the outside.
no subject
His eyes disappear behind his glasses, glowing faintly.
no subject
She's prompting him; pushing him a little like she remembers some of her patients needed.
no subject
Otacon awkwardly fidgets a bit more, before finishing the social niceties.
"It's nice to meet you. I mean, the situation isn't nice, but you are."
no subject
Sober companion, surgeon, private investigator... They all required some level of empathy.
