JULY TEST DRIVE MEME

TEST DRIVE MEME

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 .
  • 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.

[She raises and eyebrow. Jade wants to think she's messing with her, but why would she?]

Seriously?

Yeah. Me and my friends are a team called the New Ultimates.
fourthsaken: by <user name="batman"> (My friends assure me)

Dude, that's... [Jade wants to say unbelievable, but considering what she's seen lately, it doesn't seem so out there.]

That's actually pretty cool.
bombshelled: (▼ proud)

[ Lana smiles, crossing her arms. ] Thanks.

What about you? What did you do back home?

[personal profile] fourthsaken 2015-08-01 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, I'm just a student, nothing special.
bombshelled: (☠ bargain)

[personal profile] bombshelled 2015-08-01 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Well, what do you want to do? What're you studying?

[Jade shrugs. It's not an easy question for her to answer. She'd always wanted to just leave home, but that wasn't working out so far. It was hard to plan for the future when your teachers were trying to kill you almost every other week.]

I dunno. I, uh, might wanna be a writer.
bombshelled: (◎ Poey)

[personal profile] bombshelled 2015-08-01 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Then you should do that. You should go for it.
fourthsaken: by <user name="batman"> (I promise you right now)

I've gotta survive high school first.
bombshelled: (◎ gum)

[personal profile] bombshelled 2015-08-01 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ Lana laughs. ] Don't we all.

[ Some maybe more literally than others, but hey. ]
fourthsaken: (I spend enough nights lying awake)

[personal profile] fourthsaken 2015-08-01 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Jade joins in the laughing, though really, it's a serious issue for her.]

You still in high school too? I thought they'd give superheroes a free pass.
bombshelled: (◎ oblivious)

No way, man. My world kind of hates powered people most of the time. This mutant flooded the city once? It kind of soured people on mutants for a long time.

[ She's not sure if she technically counts as a mutant or not, but hey, whatever. ]
