TEST DRIVE SEPTEMBER EDITION

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.

[To Sawatari's delusions, you look like the model student!]

Okay, okay! Now, the thing that really got Action Duels started was Solid Vision technology! These made it possible to not only produce real solid monsters, but Action Fields as well! Those are the basis of Action Duels!

[:O]

"Real solid monsters"?

[Crow takes another bite of his sandwich before making a vague gesture with his free hand.]

Are you saying people can touch the monsters?

Touch them, run alongside them, even ride them if they so wish~! It's a new brand of duel that brings duelist and monster together in one grand performance!
cawnviction: (mighty big for your britches)

[Crow makes general noises of interest but lbr he's also kind of stuffing his face here. He's not one to pass a chance at free food, you know?

Swallowing, he says--]


If the monsters are solid, doesn't that get dangerous?

[Not that he actually minds the danger, but Dueling shouldn't have to be a life or death thing. He can't help but think of the Earthbound Gods.]

You don't look the type to enjoy getting messed up.
abysmalactor: (gonna aim for your heart)

The danger is part of the thrill, you know? A good Action Duelist uses that to their full advantage to keep the audience on their seats! It's not a good performance if you don't leave them hanging for at least a little, right?

[Haha! Don't underestimate him! Or at least his ability to puff up and act like the thought of physical injury doesn't scare him. Much.]
