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 01/29.
• 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.

Nn, when I tried they just kept giving me these papers. They wouldn't even let me stay in the bed, they kept telling me, "Get up, get up," once they realized I was conscious. It was really annoying.

( Apparently she's not the first one to cause this nerd trouble in that regard ー those doctors really wanted him ou. Well, not that she's wrong in her assumption; it's more than a little bit difficult to fall asleep comfortably with cold winter weather even without anybody talking so loudly to themselves on top of it. Some of the pamphlets fall down as he shifts a bit, and there's a yawn before he continues on. )

I'm a creature of the night, after all, so it's a pain to be awake during the day... Basically, it's hard enough to sleep out here without you talking, you know?

[monarchical]

A creature of the night?! But, do you mean that you have already transitioned into a monster?!

[ Sorry, Ritsu, she was about to leave him alone politely to his sleep, but then he made a bad phrasing decision...Sonia leans over, one hand to her cheek as her eyes sparkle with evident excitement. Apparently she really wants to meet a monster?

That seems like a bad idea, Sonia, but okay. ]

( He's dug his own grave, and there's nobody he can blame but himself after having heard how fascinated she was with the monsters on those pamphlets. Maybe he'll learn a useful lesson from this? Who knows. For the time being, she's given a drowsy look for her enthusiasm, and his brows scrunch together like he's looking at a weirdo. (Which she kind of is, but that's fine too.) )

Transitioned? No, I was born like this. I'm from a family of vampires, so naturally, I'm the same. You don't really think a human could become something they're not, do you?

( He makes it sound like something bizarre, but technically it applies to him too - not that he would admit it. Vampire... Nerd... It's the same thing, right?)

[monarchical]

Ehhhhh?! You are truly a vampire?! But the sun is not affecting you at all, is it? Or is it just that it makes you tired...?

[ She's turned to face him fully now, hands clasped together and stars in her eyes. ]
