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.

III, I hope you don't mind some assumed background here

[pinetree]

[When Mabel returned to Ryslig fully human, Dipper assumed she'd become the same plant-person she'd been before when her changes kicked in. He never imagined she's start growing fur, and more importantly, he didn't anticipate that she'd be such a giant dweeb about it. He blames her romance novels. Too many of them had hot werewolf love interests.]

Mabel, these lines are never going to work on anyone.

[Pickup lines are bad enough, but they're worse when they're puns.]

Def not!!

[braidtrain]

Come on, Dipper, you never know! They'd work on me, so there's gotta be plenty of cute guys out there that'll fall for them too! And I've got a million of 'em!

[You can't beat her enthusiasm. There are werewolves and vampires and all sorts of fierce monsters around just waiting to be woo'd, how could she pass up this opportunity!]

Like-listen to this and just try and tell me if a cute werewolf girl said it to you, you totally wouldn't get all heart-eyed and sweaty over it.

[And with a grin she leans in a little, because this is clearly the best pick up line ever.]

You look cold! Wanna use me as a coat?

[pinetree]

[Yeah, all sorts of monsters waiting to be charmed. Like those irresistible rotting zombie deer. Sooooo attractive.

At her next line, he visibly recoils. She can't possibly think anyone would get "heart-eyed and sweaty" from that one.]

No, I would get alarmed and terrified. It's like she's asking me to skin her.

[braidtrain]

[Hey, you can't judge a book by it's definition. There could be cute rotting zombie deers out there!]

What? No! What the heck, Dipper!

[Do you see this look. This look says, "where the heck do you come up with this stuff!"]

Ugh, clearly I shouldn't be asking you. You are definitely not even a romantic novice. That's her wanting to hug you, dummy. Because she's covered in fur? So she'd be really warm?

[There's a loud "pbbttt" as she blows a raspberry, waving a hand dismissively in his direction.]

I'll knock 'em dead with these pick up lines. I'll have boys lining up outside our door looking to date me!

[pinetree]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure no one would think wearing someone is the same as getting a hug from them.

[Mabel's totally right in that he's less than a novice when it comes to this. He's never read a trashy romance novel in his life. But he doesn't need to know anything about romance to know that Mabel is dead wrong in her prediction.]

Plus, Mabel, did you forget you're turning into a bloodthirsty monster right now? People aren't going to date you if they're afraid you'll eat them.

[braidtrain]

Ugghhh details, details! Even if I can't find any human boys who will want to date me, but there are plenty of monster boys around! But I bet there will be some humans too, because I am one fierce werewolf, and dating fierce werewolves is like on everyone's dating bucket list!

[You can't kill her optimism, Dipper. She's gonna find a cute boy, she's gonna go out on a date, and then she will rub that in your face! We're not even talking about the pick up line anymore because her romance savvy is lost on this boy, obviously.]
