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.

[The woods are close to the lake, which means she could see when people wander in. She has a feeling that some who do, they don't know what they're in for.

She lost sight of the big man though after she followed him. Not until she heard his voice asking for whoever was there, thanks to the creepy laughing. Quickly, she tried to locate him, but instead she bounces right off his body and lands on the ground?!]

[ Vietnam that almost sounds like he's prime for ending up as a monster's supper or something... Thank goodness mermaids just drown people? and spears can't swim

Tonbokiri definitely feels that impact, and immediately kneels down to help the poor woman? This wouldn't be the first time someone gets knocked over by him, honestly. It's like running into a wall. ]

Uh- I'm sorry! Are you hurt?

[hoasen]

[He could be...but it's true, she would have to drown him, and he's pretty big? Easier to pick off the smaller ones (WAIT--)

She's slightly winded because she didn't brace herself for impact at all, and so graciously accepts his help.]

No no, I am fine. [She shakes her head to recover.] I apologise for walking into you.

[petaltail]

[ (VIETNAM PLZ)
He's happy to help her, since it's somewhat his fault and all, despite what she says. ]

You needn't worry about it. This area doesn't lend itself to elegant footing.

[ While she's here and hopefully a nice young woman... ]

If I may ask, are you familiar with these woods?

[hoasen]

[LOOK...okay I have no excuse. But ah, what a nice person? He's very polite.]

You're right, but still. I should've been more careful.

[She is fortunately a nice young woman, even as a fish.]

I am familiar, at least enough. It is easy to get lost in such woods so I try to stay close to the lake.

[petaltail]

[ vietnam will go after the tantous and wakis first then, got it To everything not glowing menacingly and undead-looking, he is very polite! Like a dad, a bumbling spear-dad. Oh, and Vietnam is also very nice!

He looks around the woods when she mentions a lake... And there's too much tree to tell. Welp. ]

Would it alright to ask for some help finding a way out of here, then? I'd be very grateful.

[hoasen]

[You bet--wait. Nooo, he's nicer! A big spear-dad who is super nice. She's just a little mermaid (wait) who's gangster nice.

He did wander a bit too. She knows they may have strayed off the path, but she could try to relocate them by heading towards the lake. All that temptation for water and all that.]

Of course, I can lead you out. I think it would be better for the both of us. [With the creepy voices of children and all.]

[petaltail]

[ Gangster-nice! Is Vietnam a gang leader then?

Tonbo can wander pretty far, because that's his luck to end up horribly lost! Hopefully knowing where the lake is would help? It certainly helps fish-ladies. ]

Thank you... I never expected a forest to give me this much trouble, so I apologize for the trouble.

[ What is a reasonable mobility/scouting stat. ]

[hoasen]

[SHHHH maybe. Probably yes. Not that she knows it?!

Tonbo, your stats totally did not help you this time. If only there was a battle!]

It is no problem. I understand how daunting this forest can be. It's...strange. [Nature here can be pretty eerie.] Follow me, please.

[She tries to backtrack, knowing vaguely how she got here.]
