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.
[Words without details. That's a game he's played before, and he catches on quickly enough. Sayo owes him no further explanation, but he's aware of the limited truth as well.]
Must be quite the switch up for you, then. [An easy laugh slips from him.] 'Fraid that this is as far as cozy as it gets, Sayo.
In any case, I suppose I could show you a thing or two if y'need. [He sees no reason why not. Thus far, Sayo hasn't given him any reason to refuse assistance of any kind.
Briefly, he allows himself to be distracted as the right sparks finally light up the dry leaves he's arranged. Patiently, Twisted Fate blows air onto the leaves, encouraging life into the fire. It'll take plenty of tending to, but at least they have some warmth now.]
[ she chuckles back a bit with him, trying to ignore the familiarity in using her name. he certainly doesn't look japanese, after all - despite his apparent fluency. maybe it's magic? or maybe... it's just not worth thinking about right now. ]
...if you wish. [ the sparks flare, and suddenly her body remembers warmth. she can't stop the shiver that hits her - her dress is soaked, after all. how long has she been chilled to the bone...? she scoots in after a moment's hesitation, taking what heat she can get. ] There's a village nearby, isn't there? Why hide away out here?
[ she doesn't offer comment on why she's come out this far. truth be told, she's not even all that curious as to his reasoning. whether he's a woodsman or a convict makes no difference; indeed, perhaps a criminal would be easier to talk with. ]
It's up to you. Knowin' how to make a fire can be generally helpful.
[He has no need to teach her, but he can. In any case, making a positive relationship with a stranger could be helpful in the future.]
Heh, what a fine question. [Twisted Fate grins sharp and carefully watches the fire. If he didn't know better, he'd say that was almost a perceptive question, but he supposes that it's fair to ask. Why would a wet, cold man be away from the village?] I don't know these people. Suppose it's just overly cautious of yours truly, but I'm gonna take my time before I know for sure I can trust the people in there.
[That's a fraction of the truth, but it sounds pretty to say.]

That's more like it, eh?
