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.

Ohhh... So when we're looking for eating food from animals! Not monsters!

Riki think you are a very nice monster.

Yeah.

[..Wait.] ...So..

...you weren't going to eat.. ...me either? [JUST SO THEY'RE CLEAR HERE.

Surprise only increases as Riki continues, actually-the boy stares, apparently shocked silent, before-]

...Th...thanks..

. . . Why Riki eat nice boy? Riki no want to eat Super monsters. Just animonsters. Makes sense, yes?

[...Well.] ...Because you just said 'monster' before. ...and that's what wendigo are...

[It. Sort of makes sense in a strange way though? Not enough to really say it however, and if anything he just looks confused and worried now, turning his eyes to the ground.]

Well, even if you a monster. Riki no eat you. So friend be happy, happy happy~

[Look at his weird little twirly dance. It's less cute now he's a forty year old, but I assure you it's very adorable!]

...It shouldn't be ev...

...You shouldn't eat them at all, [he says, apparently quite immune to the happy dance. It seems the 'littlehom' might need a bit more than just something to laugh at.]

But Riki said he don't eat super monsters. Just the animonsters. So it okay, see?

[He waddles closer and he pats Reira's shoulder.]

Why is friend down? Friend should be happy hunting. Eating is the greatest!

[Because now...now there is doubt.]

...I couldn't smell like this b... ...Before. ...Or run... ...or see...

...does that mean eating like this is the same.. ..?

... Oh no, no, no! Riki do not think so. Is different. Can similar. But sameness is very, very small. Like rock and dirt...

[He would pat you on the shoulder with his wing, but he'll pat you on the shoulder with his hand instead.]

[BUT RIKI...

SCIENCE SAID-] ...I th...

I thought dirt came from rocks though..?

But have different names, right? So different. Same but different. Same as you. Very same. Very different! Otherwise we call it rock and small rocks.

Yeah...

[........] ...You said 'monsters' and 'animonsters' though...

[In Riki's defense, animals were called monsters to begin with.]

Animals and monsters are different. Easier to say animonsters though!

[...........................................Well it's TRUE but-]

...T

...That's why..? [He's so stunned he's almost forgotten why he's upset.]

Of course! No reason else! Riki just talk like Nopon! Is easy, yes?

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

...Nopon?

Yes! Riki is a nopon! Now he looks like a homhom but Riki has nopon heart! Here... Riki draw what nopon look like in dirt!

[That's... not a bad picture he draws with his finger]
