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.
yufeie: (Hey!)

[Yuffie's annoyed expression falls into something that resembles hopelessness. Her mouth hangs open and her eyes widen as if finally realizing that this isn't some teasing joke on Aerith's part. She's used to her trolling friend and the heartache that comes along with her teasing.]

Really?

[Her mouth closes and she looks around as if seeing this new world for the first time.]

That's just not fair!

[She stomps her foot down and then looks over at Aerith.]

I'm Yuffie! We are friends! We were saving the city together and being awesome. You can't really not remember that?

[Aerith frowns, feeling awful for the other girl, but she's really starting to get weirded out as well.

She shakes her head when Yuffie is done talking.]


Nope, I don't know a Yuffie. That's a pretty distinct name. I'm sure I would if I'd known it beforehand. Besides, I don't remember being outside of Midgar before or it really being in much danger.
yufeie: (Fustration)

[Yuffie's mouth hangs open before snapping shut. This is so stupid! She crosses her arms in front of her chest and then kicks her heel against the ground.]

That's not fair.

[This is too annoying.]

If you don't remember me... maybe you're someone else. You just look like her...

[Aerith gives a slightly confused half-smile.]

Maybe? Although, this is the first time I've ever heard that.

[She looks down at the strange pamphlets in her hands.]

Has anyone told you about why we're here? I can't...these can't be true. Can they?
yufeie: (Whoa)

[personal profile] yufeie 2016-01-18 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuffie peeks over at the pahmplets. Despite this Aerith remembering nothing she treats her like a friend.]

I might be? I assumed it was the heartless?

[And these people were crazy.]

[personal profile] magical_healing_rain 2016-01-18 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, Aerith is Aerith in the long run, right?

But, nothing the other woman was talking about made sense. What?]


What's a Heartless? Is it dangerous?

[These people are very crazy, yes.]
yufeie: (Huh?)

[personal profile] yufeie 2016-01-18 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... it's the darkness in peoples hearts manifested as a monster.

[Which is something Aerith had told her in the past.]

There is darkness in all hearts and it's when that darkness takes hold of a person.

[personal profile] magical_healing_rain 2016-01-18 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Hm.

[Aerith takes a moment to think that over. Yes, she's seen some pretty bleak and dark hearts, but enough to make them into monsters? Well, of that she's just not sure.

Maybe some of the more ruthless SOLDIERs or the Turks could do that...]


And that can happen to anyone? What happens to the person when the Heartless forms?
yufeie: (Nevermind)

[personal profile] yufeie 2016-01-19 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
It depends. It's just... no one comes back from being a heartless.

[Except Sora that one time.]
floweroftheslums: (Solo: Ehhhhh?)

[personal profile] floweroftheslums 2016-01-19 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
No one? Then... they die?

[She doesn't know about Sora.]
