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.

[ Ooohkay, this didn't look good.

Honestly, Marty didn't run into a lot of people who actually wanted to fight back with the angry mobs. Of course, he didn't run into scenarios like this often, but majority of the time people turned the other way and headed for the hills as fast as their legs could carry them. Seeing a guy nearby holding a gigantic twig threatening people was definitely new. Despite the fact that a pretty big part of him wanted to see how this was going to go through (maybe it would be a little funny? at least when they all went running like sissies), he knew it probably wouldn't be good for monster reputation. It was flaky enough as it was.

What the guy with the red hair had to say already stopped them half in their tracks. Marty took a step forward and pointed to Subaki's weapon, eyes wide. ] Holy shit, look how sharp it is! Jesus, you could really hurt a guy with that. [ He looks over to the crowd. ] It's really sharp.

I don't know 'bout you guys, but I'd get outta here while I could.

[He flashes an almost carefree smile.]

This is just a walking stick, pay it no mind.

[He's not a bloodthirsty warrior. He just wants to make sure other monsters aren't hurt. Subaki doesn't attack, just stands there smiling.]

I'd prefer not to fight. Why don't we calm down for the moment?

[Some of the crowd takes Marty's warning and flee. He just places the end of the staff on the ground. Leaning on it, he nods towards the fleeing mob.] They seem to have the right idea, though.

[ A walking stick.

Did the mob hear that? By the way they run, Marty assumes no. It could have been bad if they did hear by chance, though. He wanted to give the guy a hand, not try and make the mob more angry. Not like red-hair guy was trying to do that on purpose, but still. Marty's not gonna bring it up since they're all running.

After a moment or two, when the crowd is gone, he takes a moment to eyeball the stick, before looking up to the new guy. He is new, right? ] Do you run into angry mobs a lot, or...?

[ Running into your very own mob was kind of intimidating, and a bit of a hamper on your self esteem. But this dude here was taking it pretty easily. It was hard to imagine such a nice guy having a hard time with angry villagers and airborne weapons. ]

[In the position it was, it was a walking stick. It certainly wasn't a naginata but it should have worked fairly well as a bludgeoning weapon if it came down to it. As the mob scatters out of ear's reach his shoulders relaxes slightly. He briefly closes his eyes and sighs.

If Subaki's honest, he wasn't sure that was going to work. Not that he has time to relax yet. He straightens up again. His smile drops slightly.] I'm a soldier; they weren't. It was easier to intimidate them and avoid a fight rather than attacking. Even if she's not here, my actions reflect upon Lady Sakura. She would have preferred a bloodless conclusion.

[His grip on the staff lightens slightly.]

Are you hurt?

[ This guy was a soldier?

Marty could believe it; whoever this guy was, he was certainly fit enough to run around boot camp for an hour or two without getting tired. But at the same time, he seemed so nice about it. Not that all soldier guys were rough and tough and wanting to fight, but there was something else about him. It was a little odd, but at the same time, kind of nice.

He thinks about this a little until a name is brought up. ] Lady Sakura? Is she like a queen? [ So did this guy come from a world with queens and kings, then? Huh. ] Whoever she is, she sounds pretty nice. What with not wanting people to fight and all.

[ Marty checks out both his arms, wriggles his fingers. After his small assessment, he shakes his head. ] Nah, I'm fine. [ He shrugs, and offers a smile. ] You?

A princess. The queen of Hoshido--[He blinks, shaking his head. Queen Mikoto still will be missed.]--will be whoever her older brother marries. Still, it's an honor to serve as her retainer. [He smiles as if he hadn't stopped at all. He can't think of that right now.]

Other than sore shoulders, I'm doing well.
