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 wow, yes, this is exactly what Erika needed today. A child screaming at her in this freaking hellscape of freaking TREES. Goddammit.

She takes a startled step back, not sure whether to be annoyed or just alarmed.]

--Holy crap, you wanna calm down, kid?!

[ toph snaps her head around to stare an ear at the voice. ] Oh ho! There you are!

[ finally, someone she can pinpoint on! she hops off the rock and snatches a dirt clod off the ground, holding it in her fist with one hand while pointing precisely towards erika with the other. ]

Why don't you calm down and stop yelling at me?! Why are you following me?

Hey, you were yelling first.

[She crosses her arms, looking somewhat affronted.]

Uh, sorry, what? I wasn't following anyone, I'm just trying to find my way out of this creepy hellforest.

I was trying to figure that out myself! How else am I supposed to see anything out here? [ she waves a hand to indicate the vast expanse of hellforest around them. okay not like yelling at the top of her lungs gave her any great insight besides flushing out Another Person. ]

But suuuure, sneak up on someone in the woods and try to convince them you're not, whatever works for you. At least I'm not lost!

Wait, what does that have to do with-- [She pauses, leaning forward and squinting at Toph for a few seconds.] --oh. Okay, that...

...explains nothing, actually, why the hell would screaming actually help with that? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but so far as I can tell you're not a bat or some shit.

[She groans as if this is the most affronted she has ever been.] Oh my god I did not sneak up on you! I didn't even know you were there until you started screaming! Though, if you're actually not lost, directions would be super appreciated.

Look, lady, I used to be able to see with my feet, so I'm trying to make do with what I've got, okay?

[ toph folds her arms and tosses her head. ]

Why should I help you? Because you're too stupid to pay attention to how you got here?

With... your feet. Huh. That's a new one.

[To her credit, she doesn't actually sound dubious so much as vaguely curious.

...And then she's right back to being angry.]

Hey, I did pay attention. This place is just-- it's changing or some shit.

Blah blah blah, whatever, good luck out there. [ toph waves a hand dismissively in erika's general direction, more or less deciding this idiot's not really a threat.

she turns around and starts walking away. it only takes three steps before she smashes straight into a tree and drops the dirt clod she was holding. ]

Ow! Who put that there?!

[Erika lets out a short burst of really obnoxious laughter and crosses her arms.]

The forest, probably. I hear they do that.

[She's only half-joking.]
