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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Oldest nopon is 9999 years old! Oh but most only few hundred! Not like Nopon sage!

Why homhom ask? Riki is adult.

[He's torn-9000?! Hell, that's older than any witch or sage he's known. But between homhom and nopon and...

And...] .........................

...You weren't human, were you mate. Before, I mean.

[It's a language barrier, IT HAS TO BE-]

Riki not Human or Homhom! Riki is a nopon! Much smaller and fluffier! With better ears than these!

Oh but the hands are good, yes.

[Woah w-

Wait.] You didn't even have hands?

What the hell kind of thing is a 'nopon' then?! [Whatever it is he feels like it explains the way this guy talks now. Small, fluffy...handless??

Maybe a rabbit? was he a rabbit?]

No! Riki has paws! Paws don't have little fingers! Riki has to use his ears which are stupid now as a homhom!

[He touches them for emphasis and then pouts.]

No matter, no matter. Riki go find healing later. Riki need to make sure small friend okay.

So... [...It IS a rabbit-] Some sort of bunny, or-

[Right, not the point.] Mate, wherever that girl was heading, she's long gone now; if you chase her down at this point, it'll probably be you getting hunted down this time.

... Riki go find and make sure she okay. Riki has a good nose! The nose knows!

[And he smiles and bows.]

Thank you braidhom! For helping Riki! You'd be good sidekick for the heropon! But Riki go make sure girl okay.

Huh! If you say so m-

[!!!!] OI!

I'm not some bloody sidekick!

You must be sidekick. Riki no have sidekicks, and Riki is great hero! Needing of the help!

Then you get a fucking partner mate, not a sidekick-!

Nonono! Not partner! Riki no want you as a wifeypon! Riki already has Oka!

[Give him a second before he bursts into laughter.] Wif-

PfffffffhHHHHHAHAHAHA are you kidding me mate? Partners, not fucking spouses!

I'm talking about someone who has your back in a fight, not someone who's going to fight with you about dinner or some shit!

Oka always wins those fights! She always cooks so she chooses what to eat!

You talk about sidekicks, right? Riki's friends!

[Oi vey-] Mate, a sidekick's like someone who gets your coffee or something!

I'm telling you, the word is partner!

[......Says the canon sidekick.]

No! Riki is heropon! Riki has sidekicks follow him to battle.

Partner confusing word. Riki no like it.

[Well that just means crossed arms for you!] Not how it works mate-you might be a 'heropon' or whatever, but I'm no sidekick.

If we're fighting, we're 'battle partners'.

Okay. You Riki's battle wifeypon now if you want it so much. It official. But no huggles for you.

[He's going to just hold his head now.] Not your fucking WIFE mate, your PARTNER-

They're not the same damn thing-!

Not wifeypon. BATTLE wifeypon. You said so is different!!

Not when you add 'wife' anyway!

Riki confused. Riki just call you friend and we be done with that.

[......................]

...That works.

[Just not sidekick-]

Now! Riki friend.... you can fix Riki's hurty right?

[Good. No sidekick comments-and just like that, he's back in a good mood! Staring briefly, giving a laugh, and then moving over to clap the (uninjured) shoulder to lead Riki away.]

Tell you what mate-I might not, but let's get you to someone who can!

Okay! Riki appreciate it! Thank you, friend!

[He can't remember your name!]
