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.

[ This whole thing was a disaster. An incredibly badly organized disaster at that, why didn't anyone want to talk about, you know, anything? The hospital staff was the shiftiest he'd ever seen and the locals seemed to either run away or tell him strange things, ranging from "if I give you this bag of coins, will you pray for our souls" to "our entire house is in your use, just remember us in a month's time!". None of it made any sense.

Of course, that only meant Stiles was all the more hell-bent on figuring out just why everyone had lost their minds. The pamphlets were disturbing, informative or downright stupid, but at least he thought he had a slightly better idea of this new nightmare...

... and when facing a nightmare, food was paramount. Hey, maybe he could actually put that bag of coins to good use. And because the only place selling food he'd remembered seeing was the cafeteria, that's where he goes, a sandwich and a cup of coffee in his hand and a few coins poorer at the end of it.

Until there's a hand waving at him and words and-- ]

That's your opening statement?

[ Seriously, Lydia, not even a "nice to see you here"?

Granted, he's the one dealing with the utter shock of seeing her by pretending they're still back home and this is the school cafe and she's asking about their upcoming history test, but, you know. Baby steps. ]

I mean, that crossed my mind, too, but how about a "hi Stiles, nice to see you in this weird time-travel city, let's look at these pamphlets about supernatural beings together"? [ His voice may sound a little panicked by the end of it all. This is the biggest mess they've got themselves into so far, and that's saying a lot. ]
