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 MAY 20ST 12:01AM EST.
• There is an Enable Me / App this Plz to see what some people are offering or would love to play.
• 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, and already SOME 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."

Then there's the people who aren't happy to see you at all. Glares and silent, judging stares if you're lucky. Torches and pitchforks attempting to drive you out of the town if you're not. You may need a friend to help you.

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.

[Lorraine towers over the girl thanks to her horse legs, and has to bend down a little to take a closer look at the pamphlet's cover.]

I'm afraid not.

[She sounds apologetic; as much as she wished she could reassure this girl, she can't bring herself to lie about something so serious, particularly after struggling with the idea of feeding for months. Being a monster herself, she knows well how completely serious the pamphlet is. Even apart from the legs, she possesses teal skin, horse ears and thick blue hair that looks like seaweed.]

Not all monsters need to eat human flesh -- I don't! -- but we all feed on humans in one way or another.

[That . . . sure is a horse lady. Just, a lady who is a horse. Just a horse lady, just standing there. What. Okay. She can smile through this. Come on, Abigail. Come on.]

[. . . There we go. A watery little smile. It actually fits pretty well. She looks like she's on the verge of tears instead of kind of grossed out. Although on second look, it's not exactly ugly so much as unexpected. The skin is kind of a pretty color.]

In one way or another.

[She echoes this, chews her lip, and looks Lorraine up and down a little more openly.]

Are you going to do that to me?

[bedazzlings]

What?! [She nearly squawks the word, she's so shocked by the question.] No, of course not! I promise!

[Lorraine calms herself and sighs; she recognizes the kind of smile Abigail's wearing right now, because she's made it enough herself in this place. She bends a little further down, to be closer to Abigail's eye level.]

I don't want to hurt anyone, but none of us get to choose. Believe me, I tried. If we refuse to feed for long enough, we lose ourselves and attack like animals.
