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.

[ I – Arrival ]

[Even with his eyes bandaged, his sight still recovering from his bout with the (now former) Seis, it doesn't take Jellal long to realize that none of his guild mates are close; not Meredy, not Eric, Macbeth or any of the others. His disorientation is strong; he can't sense any magic at all… and the vague explanations from the hospital staff weren't much of any help at all.

It's not much better now that he's escaped and made it out into town – people keep trying to shove things into his hands, papers?, and nobody is actually explaining anything. Moving blindly is a hassle, but he doesn't dare to reach up and remove the bandages just yet; Meredy's warnings not to strain himself too soon still too fresh. One careless movement, a shove from somewhere in the crowd and Jellal is sent stumbling, hands reaching forward to catch himself on something, anything… another person, perhaps.

His head bows slightly once he's regained his balance and pulled his hands back.]

My apologies! Are you alright?

[ III – Goblin ]

[His sight has returned, and he has long been told the facts of what happens in this place, this dimension (parallel to Earthland like Edolas maybe? Was it truly the Fog God that called him here, if it was did She access an anima?), to realize that magic here works differently and his own not at all.

Despite all the warnings, despite knowing what the fog will bring, the change hits sudden and fast – forcing Jellal to double over in the middle of the streets, eyes wide as he twitches; his bones bending and twisting onto themselves into shorter shape. By the time awareness returns, his throat feels hoarse… has he been screaming?

Yet, the greatest surprise is the ice licking at his fingers as he right himself, grass and ground around him covered by frost in shape of his outline. For a moment he closes his eyes, reaching inwards for power like he's done it for near twenty years and surely enough he can feel something moving, a faint gust brushing over his hands. It's very little, much less than his true power is capable of, but…]

…So this is the magic of this realm.

[It's a start, something familiar to work with.]
