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.
If you wanna start something, asshole, you're gonna regret it.
[Oh, a fight is just what Blake needs. It'll feel good to bash this bastard's head in. For second a crash draws his attention, but it's just some cans getting knocked over. He hunkers down, and gets a bead on the asshole's face--
[Lindsey's eyes narrow. He shrugs his shoulders before he lets the hood slide down his back. He waves an impossibly large hand before whatever goodwill he has dissolves into a tired frown.]
Me too. What you think I'm this pretty on a regular basis? [He's grown into a veritable brick wall over the past month.]
[Some pertinent facts are starting to sink in. Like that this guy is a size of a refrigerator, and, more importantly, he might have some idea what the hell is going on here. He might be slightly less alone than he thought. His eyes are stuck to the horns.
Blake's hand goes to his hat, but he can't bring himself to take it off.]
Got...shit on my head. [He holds up the rasp briefly.] Gonna get rid of it.
[While he's not thrilled with this asshole, what he is is a lead. Blake can't let go of that. It's a real question, not a threat, when he says,]
You wanna fight or you wanna tell me what's going on?
[Lindsey just stares at him for a moment. He tilts his head and looks from the right to the left. Somebody's been missing every memo hasn't he?
Still the soon-to-be minotaur nods. Those pamphlets are a pain in the ass. So he'll re-direct his anger. Looking away from the new guy to the people in the hardware store]
You realize this is why your pamphlets suck right? You need to fix it in a big way.
[He growls]
...Yeah I know. I'd try and get rid of these but they're not grown yet. At all.
[The big bastard looks like he's thinking. That's different from the punching Blake was expecting, though right now he'd take either.
They're attracting some attention. Blake generously gives them a minute of scowl before turning it back on the big guy.] The hell do pamphlets have to do with anything? I threw that shit away.
[Littered, even. Go ahead, call the cops.
He doesn't like the way the guy acts like Blake is ignorant of something obvious.]
I know there's shit on me that shouldn't be there.
[Lindsey's nostrils flare and he looks angry. Temper McDonald, temper...]
So you'd know you're becoming something else. That's why we were all brought here, t'become warriors for gods or some shit like that. It's - What the hell are you looking at?!
[One of the store patrons tried to make a break for it only to have Lindsey round on her looking less like a man and more like an angry bull.]
...Run bitch.
[He curls one of his ham-like hands into a fist and growls as the woman bolts.] At least that's what I got from it.
...I doubt trying to remove anything's gonna help.

There's bumps at the top. Familiar-looking ones.
Blake gapes, forgetting his anger.]
You too?

Rest of it's harder to get rid of.

Oh. So it's some kind of cult loonies doing this to us. So we find them, beat the shit out of them, and make them stop it.
[The lady being sent running makes him scowl. This may not be his city, but nobody's supposed to go pushing citizens around.]
Watch your mouth, asshole.
[Except him.]
Re: 4
Right.
Sorry. Sorry y'all. [he holds out his hands] It's up here. [He taps his head] changes your personality.
Buddy if you can find them I'd happily rip them in two with my bare hands.

Blake's a little mollified by being listened to. He didn't really expect that to happen.]
It's gonna happen to me. I'm not letting some cult make me into a crazy mutant.
