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.

Comments

[bonzer]

The young nation glances her way and perks up immediately upon sighting her. Waving the arm holding his pamphlets, Australia greets her with a boisterous grin.

"Hey, Vietnam! Crikey, you're a sight for sore eyes!" he hollers.

Ignoring the odd looks he's getting from the locals, Australia jogs up. Her mer features catch his eyes of course. He makes no secret of his interest in them, leaning around to peer at her ear fins - even reaching out to poke with a finger if she lets him.

"Unless these peepers are goin' blind, you've got a fish theme goin' on here," he says with a laugh. "There some kinda festival I don't know about?"

[hoasen]

If she had any doubts, they've all fluttered away after he enthusiastically calls out for her, waving and all. She can't help but give a small wave back.

"As are you, I didn't think I would see you here." Well, she thought she wouldn't see many people here, but some came before her, some after, and some have went.

As he looks over her mer features, she's grown so accustomed to having them be noticed first. As long as it's not her her, because that she starts getting nervous over. What a loser. So she lets him touch the fins.

"A-ah...well, not quite a costume, it's rather...organic." How to explain!! The pamphlets are probably half full of crap as well.

[bonzer]

In contrast to his loud, enthusiastic attitude, his touch is quite gentle. He runs a finger over the top edge of her finned ear and leaves it at that, satisfied that it's not some kind of very good prosthetic.

Propping his hands on his waist, Australia grins at her. "I'll say! Not bad, not bad at all." That is an approving (and admiring) nod. Still a pretty sheila even with the fins.

But knowing she's here now, Australia's demeanour grows a little more serious. He's still got an easy-going spark in his eye and looks ready to smile at the next joke, but his voice is no longer raised. "So," he begins, "d'y'know why we're here? Hard fer me t'believe, but I don't recognise this country. I haven't seen this kinda architecture since the 1900s either - unless England's gone 'n' fostered another kid without telling any of us."

[hoasen]

She keeps quite still as he studies her fins, not even jumping as he was very considerate. It is something she appreciates a lot. After he was finished, she straightens up and loosens herself again.

"Really? I am relieved that it wasn't so bad that I would be unrecognisable." She didn't want her colleagues to be too surprised! Or completely miss her if walking past.

Even so, she still has a lot of explaining to do for how she ended up in this situation and this form. "This is Ryslig. I do not recognise it either, and it seems it doesn't even exist in our world. We've been transported here. Somehow. The assumption is by gods."

[bonzer]

Her face hasn't changed so much that he wouldn't recognise her. The rest is like some strange costume party!

"Gods?" he repeats, eyes wide. "Wait, back up, gods plural? We got more than the big guy upstairs here? Are we talkin' a pantheon or 'everyday god' kind of deal?"

And how on earth do they transport a bloody country to a place that doesn't even exist where they're from?? Must be some hella powerful gods.

[hoasen]

It's true! And she hasn't even showed him the part where she changes into a mermaid yet. But perhaps another day after she fills him in.

She nods slowly, it's just like the stories they hear back home. Well, similar. "Yes, plural. The two that people worship are the Day and Night gods. However, those that are relevant to us are the Fog and Fourth gods."

Not to mention, a few countries. And many people from different universes. She still doesn't know how the Fog god achieves this. After all, they can't really find him/her.
