TEST DRIVE

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!
• Ryslig's FAQ is located here, so please take a look if you have questions.
• The reserve date is 9/26.
• Test drive meme threads can be used for your roleplay sample!
• Players with characters already in the game can earn up to a maximum of 6 coins by replying to potential character threads! You cannot use this to go over the bonus 20 coins per month total, but you can use it 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: 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.

SCENARIO FOUR (New):The claws, the fangs, the pangs of hunger - horrible as they all are, it's manageable given enough time and perseverance. Local monster hunters, though, not so much.

Maybe it started with a few wayward glances on the outskirts of town, critical stares and disapproving whispers, or just the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Whatever it was, deserved or entirely unprovoked, you're being hunted: a handful of aggressive, well-armed humans doggedly chase your trail throughout city streets and out into the open, and if you're not careful (if you don't find help soon) you might wind up as the next trophy kill claim on one of those hunter's walls.

Comments

[anewboy]

Yeah, I did. I thought there was a little kid playin' in the woods and it doesn't exactly seem like a good idea.

[He paused where he was walking as he saw eyes in the bushes and then immediately moved against toward Riley's voice and where it was coming from again. Hearing things and seeing them without a single item to protect himself or Riley.]

[plutonicideals]

I thought there were someone having fun...

[Because someone is definitely having fun in the creepy woods. Except it's not actually nearly as fun for her as she had hoped. She still keeps moving through all of the bushes and underbrush though, as quickly as she can, because there's safety in numbers.]

I don't think there's anyone here.

[anewboy]

[He thinks the opposite and that the anyone there is not friendly so he's going to reach up to grab a low hanging branch and break it off, keeping it small enough so Riley doesn't see it. He doesn't even know what he'd do except let instincts take over.

Hopefully that helped for Riley to pinpoint him, though. Even though he's going to be finding her shortly even if it didn't]

Pretty sure it's you me and any wildlife in the area. If you saw that branch put your hand up I should be able to find you that way by now.

[Because the sooner he's got Riley spotted the better. He can get them out of there and to safety]

[plutonicideals]

[She heard it, and she does what he told her to, throwing her hand up in the area.]

There! We're really close now, so we should be okay—!

[She hopes.]

[anewboy]

[He's putting his hand up too so she can tell how close he is while walking toward her still, lowering his hand when he finally finds her]

Maybe goin' into dark woods, even with laughing like that is a bad idea, huh? [Bit've a chuckle and small smile, putting the piece of wood somewhere Riley won't immediately spot. Hopefully. Because he doesn't wanna seem all too worried]

[plutonicideals]

[She's relieved when she finally sees him. And she doesn't notice the piece of wood Lucas has, either, because she's just relieved to see him.]

Probably... Maybe we shouldn't follow weird stuff here anymore.

[anewboy]

Probably not.

[He chuckles a bit before holding his hand out for her to take. Best they stick together no matter what]

Let's get outta here.
