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.

Seriously? You're part wolf now. Pretty sure you can run laps around me. It's not like I was any better than you in gym.

[If this were any other situation, Ashley would probably laugh. But now... just mentioning something as simple, as normal as school just. Makes her sad.]

I'm still gunna try and help you. Even if we're cornered.

[wayleadsontoway]

You have not seen me try to run an all fours yet. Two legs is bad enough, add another two in there and I'm literally tripping over myself.

[That was a terrible attempt at humour. Time and place, Chris. Time and place. ]

You're making it very hard for me to protect you from the nasty-things here, just so you know.

[hashtaghaunted]

Good.

[She huffs, crossing her arms.]

Now you know how I feel whenever I'm trying to watch your back.

[wayleadsontoway]

[He'll sigh, raising his hands in surrender. ]

Touché, madame, touché. Now let's get outta here before they find us.

[hashtaghaunted]

[Despite their current situation, Ashley manages to crack a smile - which... is actually probably kind of creepy, with the sharp teeth being the only other feature that's really visible on her face right now aside from her glowing eyes.]

Right, yeah. Good plan.

[...]

And just so you know, I'm never gunna let you forget this moment.

[wayleadsontoway]

[It may be creepy, but it's an Ashley smile, and as such, it's perfect. He returns it slightly. ]

What? Escaping psychotic monster hunters? You sure that's something for the memory book?

[hashtaghaunted]

... Okay, no. That's something I'm blocking from my memory book.

I just mean getting you to finally cave on the whole "thrilling heroics" thing.

[wayleadsontoway]

[He raises a finger. ]

I'd call it less "caving" and more "dipping slightly inward."

[hashtaghaunted]

[It's still hard to make out the details of her expressions, but judging by the way her glowing eyes narrow, it's probably easy enough to tell that Ashley is pretty unimpressed at that.]

Same thing. Geez, no need to get so nitpicky.

[wayleadsontoway]

[He sure recognises THAT look and at least has the decency to look a little abashed. Still, he will absolutely put her first, if it ends up her or him. Unhesitatingly. ]

Okay, okay, less nitpicking and more escaping.

[hashtaghaunted]

[And she's going to do the same. Looks like they're both fucked if things get down to it.]

Right... [Okay. Serious time now. Ashley can't hear anything, but her senses aren't really much better than they were as a human, so she's going to need to rely on him again...]

Can you hear them at all? Are they still nearby?

[wayleadsontoway]

[Those weird wolf ears perk and swivel. He's still getting used to them, he's not USED to being able to hear so well. At best his senses have been average or below. It takes him a moment to filter out all the noises of everything else to find the heavy footfalls of their perusers. ]

Uh huh. They're getting closer.
