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.

Oh. Well...uh.

[It's kinda shitty if he can believe this kind of stuff, it means that he's either nuts or his world is...kinda cruddy. Still. ]

That'll probably help you a lot here. Not being at a wrong time, there's no fixing that. But if it's not as crazy for you, it means you won't...y'know, lose it at what comes later as much.

[He gives a shrug. ]

It's okay, I look kinda horsey. I'm a kelpie, actually. Close, but not quite.

[ghostwriting]

[tensely:] I know what a kelpie is. You just don't quite fit the preconceived image I had of one.

[he's not a complete horse, for one. but there's a very good reason for that, and it's proof enough that these flyers aren't completely dishonest. if this was something completely inhuman talking to him, it would be easier to write it off as a trick. but underneath it all, Stine can still clearly see a person. someone who's still not quite an animal yet. that makes it tough to swallow.]

So, it's all true then. [he's not expecting a say-it-isn't-so moment to come out of this. his voice is hard and controlled and cold.] How many people, would you say, "lose it"? Assuming this happens often enough to warrant brochures on it. [like it's one big scam for the tourists. give him a break already.]

You got one up on me. I didn't have a clue what one was at all until one helped me out of a cave. Apparently I can turn into a horse-horse? I haven't tried it yet.

[Just in case he gets STUCK as one or something. There's a lot to be said about hands. ]

Sorry, man, it's all true. As for the losing it thing, I dunno. I haven't seen a lot of it myself, but I've only been here a couple of months.
