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.

"Not at all, mon amie. I would be happy to oblige a lovely lady such as yourself."

The fact that she's half-spider does not negate her 'lovely lady' status in Yuuya's mind. He can hardly throw stones about not being human anyway. ...His current human status aside.

"I was a bird. A fantail pigeon, to be specific."

[outstandingbalance]

"That's a new one for me." She doesn't entirely hide her surprise. He's not the first person she's talked to who wasn't human before coming her. He was, however, the first bird.

"How are you handling the change?"

[secretbirden]

"Hmm... Well, I'm finding that pockets are a lot handier than they seemed in all the old photos. I do miss my tail, though, even if the feathers were a menace to keep in order."

Both true things that will hopefully satisfy her curiosity without requiring him to do more than gently deflect her questions. He can't fault her curiosity...but dwelling on the body he's lost isn't something Yuuya's eager to do even in the best of circumstances.

[outstandingbalance]

He's polite, but Natasha can take a hint. She nods. She doesn't want to talk to much about her body, either; not the old one, and not the new one.

"Pockets definitely come in handy from time to time. Good place to keep a flashlight and a map?" Her voice grows lighter at the end, teasing. "Need some help?"

[secretbirden]

"I'm sure they would have, had I remembered to bring any," Yuuya replies. Light teasing he can deal with. "As much as I hate to trouble a beautiful woman, I would be grateful for some assistance getting out of here."

[outstandingbalance]

"I wouldn't have asked if it were trouble. I'm going to be getting out of here anyway. You can just follow along."

[secretbirden]

"Alright. My thanks, mon amie."

[outstandingbalance]

"French, huh?" She's not sure if that's more surprising than being a bird, but it seems a lot safer.

As she asks, she tips her head toward the path, motioning for him to follow her.

[secretbirden]

"I was born in France," Yuuya says cheerfully, ambling along after her. "Though I haven't lived there in years."

[outstandingbalance]

"No? Where'd you go from there?" How much did pigeons travel? Seemed like a worthwhile question to her. "Before you ended up here, obviously."

[secretbirden]

"Japan, for school. I had the chance to attend a pretty prestigious academy, so I decided to take it."
