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.

Ruvik | The Evil Within

[medullaoblongata]

One.

[Being bribed - or even made to feel welcome - is an alien sensation for Ruvik. It's possible that some people have mistaken him for a partly-changed monster already, hood drawn down low, but not enough to fully obscure the deep, ugly scarring that covers the left side of his face, snaking down his pale body and chest all the way to below the waistband of his pants.

Still, he handles the the offerings with all the calm and grace he can muster, letting the people shake and shrink away as they hand off the pamphlets. After a while of collecting them, he stops for a time, leaning up against an alley wall to read through some of them.

Turning into monsters. It would be a lot more unbelievable if he hadn't seen far stranger monsters where he came from, springing from he depths of his own mind to hunt, to kill.

Out loud, he chuckles to himself, a mirthless sound.]


Three. - Minotaur

[It takes a lot to make Ruvik scream. He has been through hell and back, through fire, through torture...through more than most people can dream of. But the sensation of bone shifting against wiring, of horn twisting out against the rim of the glass plate covering the left half of his brain?

The sound that comes from his mouth is nothing short of an agonized howl, gray eyes clenched shut. Blood pours down the sides of his head, slick against his skin, and it's a struggle to stay upright - but then something in his feet gives with a pop and a crunch, sending him crumpling to the ground.

There is no getting to safety, to privacy. He is changing, here, now, right in the middle of the road.]
