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.
[ Okay, so the person who decided to answer is definitely one of the weirdest-looking people Kristoff has ever seen. And, yeah, the suggestion isn't received as one that particularly helpful. Kristoff just looks doubtfully down at the brochure and back up again.
Rather than admit right-out that reading well isn't part of his skill-set, he just frowns deeper and answers gruffly: ] It's going to be ridiculous. I already know that. It's just-- I thought everybody stopped believing in this stuff a while ago.
[ Why's it matter? He won't go into detail aloud, but people knowing about the trolls historically means people seeking them out, and that can get pretty iffy. ]
[It's a good thing he's used to being looked at that way. Freak, enemy, thing to be worshiped, thing to be killed - it's all the same. As Kristoff glances at the pamphlet but obviously doesn't read it, one pale eyebrow rises slightly.]
Some of them are very ridiculous. Your reaction ...
[He pauses and reconsiders. That definitely was the reaction of someone recognizing something and not being happy to see it. Sephiroth flips open his own instead, skimming the information.]
..Suggested maybe those stories aren't stories. Still, if there were twenty foot tall rock monsters stomping about eating people one would think we'd have heard of it, yes?
[It's a constructed opening; maybe Kristoff wasn't good at reading, maybe he was simply worried about what was inside. By telling him what was inside, maybe it'd ease some of what seemed to be hostility at the crowd.]
[ Twenty feet tall? That's ridiculous. It's so ridiculous that Kristoff snorts at the idea. ] Well, yeah. A blind man could notice the presence of twenty feet of walking cliffside.
[ Wait, hang on. ] Does it really say they eat people?
... Huh. [ Is this for real? How are there so many people around if they're all at the bottom of the food chain? Because this is still a lot of people in the sort of city that he's never seen before. ]
Did this head-hitting also involve getting dragged out of the sea unconscious?
[After a bit of searching, he comes up with the pamphlet he's looking for ... which is mostly pictures and obviously angled towards children instead of adults. It's offered, instead of the more useful ones with actual writing in them.]
Here. Not only is this place apparently infested with human-devouring monsters of all kinds, not just rock monsters, they believe we'll become them too.
[And that, there is absolutely no doubt Sephiroth thinks is complete bullshit.]

Apparently it's a feature here.
[That would certainly congest traffic wouldn't it. One of the others, this one with a bird woman with a fish tail on it, is held up.]
So far, every single one of these has had human predation in it in fact. From tiny winged insect people to the twenty foot tall trolls.

Maybe I hit my head harder than I thought.
