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.

Touya | Pokemon (White Game Canon)

[chosenofthunder]

(Three - Goblin)

[Touya's out and about in the town when the fog rolls in. And no one except for the residents hiding away in their homes are ever prepared for the fog. It feels like only just yesterday that he'd decided one day to settle down and take a nap with his team. Then without warning he was here and-]

Ghhk...! Ghh... wha...?!?

[It feels like his bones are on fire and melting as they crack and compress. His clothes become ill-fitting in more ways than one, shoulders and lower body growing thicker as his frame shrinks. As he feels something tear out from his back and ready to get through the barriers of clothing, Touya barely manages to get his jacket off in time before thick talons rip out of his nails, hands twisting into three-fingered claws.

His skin is ashen as fanned arm guard-like protrusions push out of forearms and extend past his new claws. Touya makes a bewildered glances at the familiar appendages and then the tiny, but also recognizable, 'wings' that burst out of his shirt.]

Arrgh.... how...? I'm... some sort of... tiny Zekrom...?!

---

(Four - still Goblin)

[Touya's hiding behind a dumpster in an alleyway, trying to avoid the people that definitely were trying to kill him. He's gained a few more spikes... one at the back of his neck, his elbows, and the back of his ankles.

He's not sure what to do about his pants, but his jacket is stuffed inside his bag.

Help would still be great though.]

FOUR!

[soft_focus]

[Did someone say help?

...Well he's not really there for helping, so much as taking out trash. That's what happens when the trash chute stops working.

He has a great big bag, he's throwing it in, andddd...

He smells something. Or maybe someone.

Just what is that smell?]

[chosenofthunder]

[Well Touya dares to peek at who it is that came, because he's sure he's hearing the sound of... hooves? Instead of feet. A monster child? Well it's a friendlier face already as far as Touya's concerned. And it probably means they're safe for now.]

... Hey!

[Touya smiles at the Sawsbuck-looking monster kid warmly and comes out, because he has nothing to hide.]

It's nice to see a friendly face out here! I guess this means the coast is clear?

[soft_focus]

[He has a friendly face??

Well that's good to know. Here he thought he was petrifying people with fear in one glance. Don't meet his eyes

Needless to say, the garbage is going in the dumpster first.] ...Yeah.

[THUMP.]

..why.. ..?

[chosenofthunder]

Well some people were chasing me earlier... Monster hunters or something.

[He definitely doesn't want to know what would happen if he had his entire Pokemon team with him...]

But anyway, do you know where we are?

[soft_focus]

[Huh.

Monster hunters... ...Well for his part, he simply stares, nodding.]

...This is my apartment building...

[chosenofthunder]

[This kid looks pretty young compared to him, so Touya doesn't mind the answer. Just means he has to be more specific.]

Oh so you live here! Can you tell me what town we're in then? Like, what is this whole place exactly?

[soft_focus]

[Further confusion-]

...It's Bavan.

...A city. [Not a town, sir. Not a town. Think more along the lines of Castelia.]

[chosenofthunder]

[A city? He's been to a lot of different cities back home, but none of them look anything like where they are.]

Huh... well my name's Touya. What's yours?

[soft_focus]

[Consequences of psuedo-time travel. It takes time to adjust.]

...Akaba Reira.

[..........

Not much for conversation is he?]

[chosenofthunder]

[A quiet kid, he can tell. Though based off how that name sounds..]

Reira's your first name?

[Hey sometimes you gotta be sure.]

And you probably don't know any more than I do of what the heck I'm supposed to be... but what are you exactly?

[soft_focus]

[Well, there's a shrug at least.] ...You look like a dragon but...

...Your wings are too small, so... [So he's stuck.

Regardless though.]

I'm a wendigo.

[chosenofthunder]

[Touya laughs a bit at that.]

Yeah, I think I look a lot like a dragon I know from back home too! I'd show you a picture on my pokedex, but everything in my bag is gone somehow...

But oh well, maybe my wings will get big enough to fly like he does then!

[Too bad because they won't, but Touya doesn't know that.]

And what's a wendigo...? Haven't heard of it.

[soft_focus]

[Somehow? Well.] ...That's probably from when you got here...

...I didn't have my bear either. [A true shame.

For the other question, he just points to himself though. Which isn't the best idea since the wings don't exactly make for a 'typical' wendigo.]

[chosenofthunder]

Ha. Right. That was probably a stupid question, considering how old you seem to be...

[blurspot]

[Now look here pal-] ....7.

[There is a frown now.] Why would it be stupid because of that.. ..?

[WORD YOUR ANSWER WISELY.]

[chosenofthunder]

[Okay maybe he's starting to really feel that paralyzing stare a bit now.]

Well I can't expect you to have all the answers right? There has to be other ways to get really detailed info around here I'm sure.

[He really does mean well with that, he does. So no offense intended.]

[soft_focus]

[POOR CHOICE.]

...I gave you the answer though. ...being 7 doesn't mean I'm wrong.

[chosenofthunder]

[Okay back up, back up. Slow down there little wendigo.]

Woah wait... that not what I'm saying! I can see that you're a 'wendigo', but that doesn't tell me anything else about what it is other than that you vaguely remind me of my Sawsbuck from back home.

[blurspot]

[...........] ...That's why you ask for more then. [This is totally your fault ok, totally.

...Uh.] ...Is that a 'deer'..?

[chosenofthunder]

[What's a deer?]

Uh.... maybe? We only have Pokemon back where I come from.

[blurspot]

[Staaaaaaaaaaare.]

...I've never heard of those.

...Are they like duel monsters.. ..? [....N....o?]

[chosenofthunder]

[Touya's stare back is just as blank. Laughably blank.]

I don't think so....? What are duel monsters?

[blurspot]

[There's some shuffling as he digs into his pocket...

Annnnd fans out a deck of cards for Touya to look at.

...Well. In his defense there can be seen a resemblance in some ways, here.]

[chosenofthunder]

[Curiously he does indeed examine the cards, specifically the monster cards.]

So it's a card game you play from where you come from!

[Touya ponders over his words to try and figure out how best to answer.]

Well you think of it this way... Pokemon are living and breathing monsters with magical powers. They're everywhere in my world, no matter where you go.

Trainers like me catch a team of them and battle other trainers or wild Pokemon. That's how we have fun and make friends.

[So like dueling?]
