JANUARY TEST DRIVE 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 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.

[hans "looking" like a human isn't really doing much for matt, sorry buddy, but at least he doesn't sound like leaves rustling or like he has wings, so it's definitely a start.

as for faking nice - well, they're going to have a long, lucrative friendship founded entirely on deceiving other people]


If i could read them, sure.

[people not recognizing that youre blind when you have super senses is fine but people not recognizing when you're 100% normally blind is actually kind of inconvenient.]
ingoodhans: (oh dear)

[personal profile] ingoodhans 2016-01-13 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm sorry... You're blind?

[ Dark glasses? That's a thing, right? Normal people don't wear those indoors (Hans has learned this in Ryslig, since, you know they're pretty different-looking in his day.) ]

Um... I could read them for you. If that would help? Has no one really come by to help you?
notthekingpin: (drink that kool-aid)

[you have to play with the cards you've been dealt, all that matters is how skillfully you use them. which is to say, he's absolutely going to play the blind card if it means playing hans.]

Would you? It wouldn't be too much of an inconvenience? [he doesn't lay it on very thick but the implication is there: no, he hasn't been helped. it's so sad. he's trying to make do!! what a cruel world...]
ingoodhans: (a shock inside me that)

[personal profile] ingoodhans 2016-01-14 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ So sad. Truly this world is unfair. And Hans is just the right guy to be nice and helpful for this poor blind man. ]

Well, most of these are garbage, to be quite honest. But there's one or two in here-- well, they're about what you can expect now that you're in Ryslig. Has anyone told you the basics yet?

[wow!! what an incredibly nice stranger!! so kind and sweet]

Considering even the name sounds foreign to me, I'm going to have to go with no.
ingoodhans: (are you ready for music and lyrics)

[personal profile] ingoodhans 2016-01-14 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Ah well, that's where we should get started then. You're in Ryslig-- which is a peninsula in another world, if you'll believe it. Hence why you probably wouldn't have heard of it.

[ At least no one who shows up knows the place, as far as Hans can tell. ]

There's lots of us who've arrived here from distant lands and different times, but I'm afraid even that's not as simple as it sounds. Are you following me so far?

[ Being a NICE GUY, wow!!! ]
