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.

[That's good. The townspeople are still as kind as he remembers... at least, until the fog comes...]

Better catch em' before they get too far then. I'll help! Think I recognized a few of those guys, even... I've done this song and dance before.

[He has a list of names of everyone who offered him help, back then. He promised never to hurt them, and so far he's been able to keep it.]

[abysmalactor]

So ah...why were they offering stuff, anyway?

[Because...he really thought they were fans of his Sawatari Theater...]

[pundulum]

Cause you're new to this world. They want to make a good impression on us so we'll return their kindness. ...It may sound like owing a favor, but it's not so bad. You don't really have to do anything special.

[Just don't bite the hand that feeds you. He doesn't think Sawatari would do that anyway.]

[abysmalactor]

[Yeah well Yuuya doesn't know that Shingo wasn't supposed to steal those cards for himself, but to hand them over to Akaba, sooooooo.]

A good impression? Understandable, for moi~...

[pundulum]

[He doesn't, no. But honestly Reiji feels like an exception, any hassle against him is justifiable. You two rich assholes deserve each other tbh.]

Ah, isn't that one?

[NPC Spotted! Go get em', Shingo]

[abysmalactor]

[Rich assholes always deserve each other.]

Ah, you're right! Let's see now...

[He changes the pitch of his voice to that suave one he had used back when he and Yuuya first met, and raises his hand in a friendly greeting.]

Excuse me, good sir!

[And he immediately engages the nervous NPC in conversation. A very long, roundabout one. That the NPC is getting more unnerved by.

Maybe you should step in and vouch for him.]

[pundulum]

[One sec, Yuya's mentally debating if inflicting long-term Sawatari would count as breaking his promise not to harm these guys. .... Nah, just kidding, he'll slither on in.]

Haha, you two are hitting it off, I see... [IF HE SAYS IT MAYBE NERVOUS VILLAGER WILL THINK IT IS TRUE. Though if that doesn't work he could try again with hypnosis.]

Well, Sawatari's pretty ok once you get to know him. He won't forget your help! Right?

[abysmalactor]

[A modest bow and flourish is the answer.]

Sawataris always reward their constituents with whatever they deserve for their services, good sir.

[Wow. What a...politically correct answer.]

[pundulum]

[Who are you!? Yuya thinks of this overly polite Sawatari. Feels so long since he pulled that act on him, man. The Vandare man also seems mildly baffled, as people from the simpler fishing town aren't so used to richer class fancy talk. But nevertheless, he seems to have been convinced, as after a moment he nods and gestures for them to follow him to his place. Yuya's at least glad it turned out well, so he turns back to him with a smile as he slithers behind.]

You did it!

[abysmalactor]

[A flick of his hair is his response.]

Naturally~!

[There's the Shingo we all know and love.]
