TEST DRIVE: NOVMEMEBER (get it because it's a meme)

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 11/27.
  • 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: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.

[You know who's sort of a bird? Yue is. Only he's not the one getting glared at, he's the one awkwardly hopping over somebody's tail with his awkward bird legs and then curiously stopping to see what has the guy's attention.]

Umm. What are you looking at?

[The direct route!]

[His ears prick and turn toward Yue when he gets close, and Ares' tail stops lashing as soon as his head turns to look at him. The pupil of his visible eye is dilated, and he's gone from restless to suddenly very, very still.

Another bird. A bigger one. One he can smell--

He forces himself to relax, tension easing in small degrees, until his posture's less rigid and his wings fold up against his back. Not gonna do it.]


Nothing big! I'm just bird watching.

[And that is an awfully relaxed smile for someone who was agitated a minute ago. It's fine, he's fine, he's totally got this.

He is watching Yue pretty closely, though.]

Bird watching?

[Yue notes that strangely rigid posture (and the equally strange relaxation afterwards), but attributes it to surprise rather than anything more dangerous.

It's with an innocent sort of obliviousness that he looks out the window and notes the bird outside, cocking his head in a coincidentally birdlike manner as he does so. Is that the bird, over there? Just one...]


Hmmm...wouldn't it be easier to watch from outside, though? You might see more that way.

[Is this guy doing that on purpose? Hard to say if he really just doesn't notice... the birdlike mannerisms don't make him any less distracted, and his eye follows Yue's gaze back out the window. Yep, it's still there.

He tears his attention away and stuffs a particularly large bite of his lunch into his mouth, barely swallowing part of it before he answers again.]


Yeah, but I wanna finish this first...

[And then maybe he'll feel less like bird-hunting. Maybe.

Okay, no, Ares can always eat more, but look-- an attempt is being made, here.

He finishes that mouthful, reaching up to swipe his sleeve across his mouth as he adds-]
If I took it with me they'd just try to steal it, anyway.
twomeals: ([oh] 03)

[He turns around when Ares speaks, and--]

Woow, you eat fast...

[Or take really big bites, at least? It kinda reminds him of someone back home. Yue struts a couple steps forward, then--hops some more in order to turn around in the space he's got, curiously looking around as he does so. He's a curious kid.]

Maybe they're hungry? If they want to steal your food.

[He's feeling kinda peckish himself, come to think of it.]
