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.

[abysmalactor]

Hmph. Your loss.

[intercalaryninja]

Excuse me for not knowing then. Reiji-dono trusted you all to take care of yourselves, so I wasn't watching you 24/7.

[Is that sarcasm or is he serious? Like... his tone makes it really hard to tell.]

[abysmalactor]

[Well, Sawatari's gonna take it at face value.]

Of course he would! Akaba knows that us Lancers are perfectly capable of keeping up the fight!

[intercalaryninja]

...

[The look on the harpy's face asks Shingo if he's lost every duel he's had since entering the synchro dimension.]

[abysmalactor]

[WELL...MAYBE YES...SHUT UP.

HE'S JUST POSING AND TOTALLY IGNORING YOUR JUDGING EXPRESSION OKAY SUCK IT.]

oh my god shingo i love you

[intercalaryninja]

...

How long have you been in Ryslig?

and i love you...r love for me!

[abysmalactor]

Like...a month or something. I just dealt with this...fog stuff for the first time so...

[He laughs.]

Guess they thought that made me an easy victim! Well, they thought wrong~

never change

[intercalaryninja]

I think they would have hunted you regardless if you were easy or not. They all seem like serious hunters. It's not a thing to take lightly.

of course not! i would never want to disappoint such a lovely fan~

[abysmalactor]

I was taking it seriously! You would have seen that!

Oh mr. sawatari-san ~

[intercalaryninja]

....

Hmph.

[You know what's hard to do? Fold your arms when you have wings.]

and i will leave my sawatari theater ON

[abysmalactor]

Jeez! I'm serious about this, you know?!

[YOU THINK YOU'RE SO COOL JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A NINJA AND ALL WELL YOU DIDN'T WIN YOUR ROUND EITHER SO THERE]

meanwhile 20miles away

[intercalaryninja]

[Want to say that to his face? He dares you.]

Yes, you've yelled that a few times already.

FANS CHEERING. NEO NEW SIGNS BEING DRAWN. it was amazing

[abysmalactor]

Well, it doesn't seem like anyone's listening!

[he doesn't act like it but he does have some sense of self-preservation, ninja. somewhere. it's instinctual.]

and someones bike crashed

[intercalaryninja]

[Yes, he knows. He doesn't think Sawatari is stupid, after all.]

Hmph...

Re: and someones bike crashed

[abysmalactor]

[Bah, ninjas.]

Aaa-ny-waaaay-! What are you even doing around here, now? There's no Akaba to take orders from, so...

[intercalaryninja]

Reira-dono is here. I'm keeping an eye out for him, and the other lancers that are here.

[abysmalactor]

Hn! I'm surprised you're keeping that up.

[intercalaryninja]

What do you mean by that?

[The leer is real]

[abysmalactor]

I mean...there's no Academia here, right? And people say that the Fog God brings us back if things go pear-shaped for some unfathomable reason. So it's like...your job's already taken care of, right?

[intercalaryninja]

Just because a god can bring us back doesn't mean we should deal with death lightly. I wish to make sure everyone is as safe as they can be in such a place. My service to the Akaba family is still in play, and will be until I am dismissed from their service.

[abysmalactor]

Well, I guess I can't say anything bad about your work ethic...I bet my papa would appreciate that, he's always complaining about incompetents in his office. Heh, maybe I should ask him to hire you after the Akabas are done with your service! Haha!

[intercalaryninja]

If the school leaders permit this, then I will have no choice but to serve.

[Please god, no.]

[abysmalactor]

Well, I don't see why they wouldn't~!

[intercalaryninja]

The mission you give and the payment must be appropriate for my skills.

[Whether he's lying, making fun or talking seriously is... again unclear.]

[abysmalactor]

I'm sure my papa can afford to pay any price, my good sir!

[Who cares. Sawatari is actually kinda looking forward to this.]
