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.

Comments

Vegeta | Dragon Ball Z

[iamthehype]

1.)

[It's not the ridiculous pamphlets or the overbearing humans that have him extra crabby, but the fact that someone, somehow, had managed to knock out and kidnap a saiyan. And now they wanted him to play along with some earth-based farce? No way in hell. Once he finds out who's responsible for this, they're going to become very acquainted with his fist.]

[He intends to set the pile of handouts on fire with a ki blast. But nothing happens. That's unheard of. Impossible. Sure, he's felt a little strange since waking up, but why can't he use his energy? That's more troubling than anything that's come before. He snarls and throws them. There, that'll show 'em.]


3.) [Wendigo]

[It begins with death. Kind of funny, considering he's been dead before. His life ending by heart-attack is new though, especially when he keeps breathing after the fact.]

[The pain is nothing, not even when the claws rip through nail beds and horns begin to sprout. Pain, blood, adrenaline, and pushing past all three are the cornerstones of his brutal life. He's used to it, had to face it nearly every day for countless years. It doesn't stop him. It doesn't even slow him down.]

[If anything, it makes him more ferocious, with a desire to go out and inflict the same on others. Oh, to rampage again. That sounds like an amazing plan-- hopefully you're not in this newly transformed wendigo's way!]

4.)

[Pft, humans. They're such fearful, simple creatures. Vegeta applauds their decision to confront a threat, but can't help but laugh at their sheer stupidity. Don't they know how outmatched they are? He may have lost his saiyan powers but he's gained new abilities in turn. So they want a fight? Then a fight they'll get.]

I'll be happy to end your miserable lives!

[He's probably underestimating his opponents. He's definitely underestimating them. And yet trying to pull a saiyan out of a fight is even harder than preventing one from starting a brawl in the first place.]

WILDCARD

[Choose your own adventure!]

4!

[raidraptors]

[Shun isn't really looking to prevent anything; these type of Fogs are his preferred hunting grounds – his sympathy with the humans on the hunt is fairly limited. The changes are miserable enough without having idiots shoot at you.

He perches about mid-level of a fire escape and just watches the brawl unfold for the moment. That idiot in the middle of it seems pretty enthusiastic… he frowns a little at that, then shakes his head. Well, for the moment he doesn't seem to need any help anyway.]

[iamthehype]

[They may be heavily armed, but they're just a collection of vigilante wannabes. Vegeta was raised on battle and bloodshed and wouldn't have made it this far if he was bad at fighting. One human finds this out the hard way, lunging close and then nearly getting their jaw torn off for their trouble. He may not have had this form very long, but he's quickly learned how to use every ounce of strength behind it.]

[Unluckily for one saiyan-turned-wendigo, he doesn't yet know that he also has latent weaknesses. Another human strikes out with a silver knife and barely catches his shoulder-- it's not much, just a scratch, but it burns. Vegeta snarls in surprise and disbelief and rips their arm open in return.]

[He miiight be in over his head. But like hell he's about to back down.]

[raidraptors]

[Shun frowns as he keeps watching the fight – the stranger, newbie of one of the last two to four months judging by the state of his changes, knows how to handle himself, even if a little careless… he ought to watch for that knife–

He sighs to himself, then drops down from his perch; heavy and very, very tall… and absolutely aware of his advantage of surprise to the mob. He knocks out the first mid fall with a knife hand strike; bone breaking under the combination of weight and strength – he's meant to pick up a meal for the next week anyway and having an extra body to save for his more squeamish room mates certainly won't hurt – then swings around to knee the next human in the face.

Better to end this fight quickly before anyone gets the idea to start going for the guns.]

1

[soft_focus]

[As dangerous as Vandare tends to be, no one can fault him for wandering around when the people decide to 'play nice'. Vegeta's take on a tantrum is quite eyecatching to say the least however, so Reira's attentions are less on 'everyone' arriving for the moment and more on 'this one'.

His eyes follow the papers as they're thrown, moving up, and then slowly...slowly down, until they land on the ground.

Vegeta might notice the boy staring at him with a bit of a judging frown.] ....why not just use the garbage can...

[Don't Litter >:[ ]

[iamthehype]

[Oh look, an unwanted peanut gallery from a tiny brat.]

That wouldn't have the same impression. [Sure Vegeta, you throw those papers. You stick it to the man.] Get lost, twerp.

[Yeah no, he doesn't have time for babysitting. He's gotta find a way back home so he can beat the shit out of a bunch of androids.]

3 let's just dogpile vegeta with cardgames, why not

[pundulum]

[Out in the fog is one fully transformed snake boy, who carries a lantern that cuts through the haze - seriously, it doesn't touch where the light goes, like a kind of ward. It gently illuminates his features... goggles pulled down tightly over his right eye, but his left eye is where his mouth should be. A live snake for a nose. A nose and mouth on his stomach, framed by his ears. So if he's ever wanted to literally kick someone's ass because he didn't like their face, this might be a good candidate. On the other hand, maybe stealing the clearly magical artifact would be an even better motive. But on the third hand (which Yuya has because his rattle is shaped like one), he looks kind of pathetic so maybe it's not worth it?

Either way, Yuya sees this guy on the warpath and frowns - not that you could tell on his rearranged face. He turns the lantern on him, just to make sure he isn't a hunter. But no. That's definitely a monster. Most newbies are too busy suffering to rampage, so he assumes something has brought this on.]

Hey... what's the matter? Is something going on?

[iamthehype]

[Whoo boy, this kid is a piece of work! Just look at that face. He's not sure even a mother could love that. Ryslig peninsula is awesome.]

[Everything is still new and blooming with pain, pain that would make a normal person pause, not spurn them on. But this is Vegeta and he's far from normal, at least compared to human standards. No, he thinks he wants to shed a little blood. Maybe kill something and eat it. Actually, he's pretty hungry all of the sudden. Gotta love that saiyan appetite.]

What does it look like? [He's probably more gleeful than he should be-- but after so long of being average, stuck at at a mediocre powerlevel, the surge in unholy strength is very welcome.] I've become better!

[Not as good as he was before, but good enough for now. Good enough to bring a murderous gleam to his eyes and a feral smile to his face. Let's hope snake isn't on tonight's menu.]

1! I couldn't resist

[tochangethefuture]

[Something is really, really off about this place. His ki sense is suddenly non-existent, his sword is missing and people keep gifting him with food – he wouldn't really complain usually, but he just got a bag full of apples and a two chickens shoved into his arms; and along with everything else he's picked up so far, his arms are starting to grow tired very quickly.

And he still hasn't figured out where he is… and where they put his time machine for that matter.

He sighs quietly, resolving to find a place to stash all the gifts and then he'll– He splutters and stumbles back when he suddenly ends up with a great lot of paper thrown right into his face.]

Hey–

[Of course, any complaint that might have followed dies the second he catches sight of just who showered him in pamphlets.]

Uhm.

[Of all the people to run into in this weird whatever the…]

Could this be hell?

[It seems like the first plausible guess… it's not his present and it's definitely not the past either, and if something went wrong with the time machine and he came out– Well. Being dead would probably explain why he can't reach his Ki. And the presence of his father. Kami, please let his mom not have found his body.]

[iamthehype]

[He does a double take on the boy who's approached him, arms full of fruit and feathered beasts. Great, it's this kid again. Vegeta feels like this is probably his fault, what with all his messing with time and vague prophecies about doom and gloom. And that really obnoxious transformation that he refuses to believe marks him as a saiyan too.]

Well, if it isn't the brat from the future. [He sneers, fully meaning to take his rage out on a familiar face now that the pamphlets have been dealt with.] We have to be dead to be in hell, you idiot.

[And he is certainly not dead. Nope. No way. He's been dead before and it wasn't anything like this.]

[tochangethefuture]

Right.

[But it's not like he knows what it's like to be dead! He'll have to defer to the older Saiyan's experience on that. And, well if it were his and/or his story's fault, shouldn't the rest of the group be around here somewhere too?

Trunks blinks, and stays still in place in spite of the sudden bout of nervousness tugging at his gut. This is his Father That He Has Only Met Once after all… who at very least knows when he's from, oh god. Goku, you promised!]

Goku-san told you, then.

[iamthehype]

He told me enough. [Or rather Piccolo told them what they needed to know, because that fool Kakarot can't be trusted with even a simple message.] You couldn't handle a bunch of robots.

[Android, cyborgs, whatever. They're all the same to him. They might pose a threat to a bunch of humans, but not to him, especially now that he's had the years to prepare for the fight. Those buckets of bolts don't stand a chance.]

[Though he's a little cranky to have been suddenly thrown into another place or time where his powers seem to be inaccessible. Which means he gets to take it out on future boy.]

So, your little time travel stunt has nothing to do with where we are now?

[THIS IS YOUR FAULT OBVIOUSLY]

[tochangethefuture]

[So, probably not about his origins, Kami be thanked. Trunks just barely holds back a sigh of relief and just nods instead – of course Goku-san hadn't told, he should have known. His expression turns grim at the mention of the "robots".]

Androids. Don't underestimate their strength… they are truly terrible!

[As for the involvement of the time machine…]

It didn't. If it did, I would be the only one that ended up here.

[Father plz.]

[iamthehype]

[What a worry-wart, pathetically cowering behind just the idea of these androids. Whether they're flesh and blood or made of circuits and programming, he'll crush them all the same.]

I've seen far more terrifying things than you could ever dream of, boy.

[So his future self had gotten killed. Big whoop. Vegeta bets his future self hadn't figured out how to go super saiyan yet, which puts him at an advantage in his own timeline.]

And you expect me to believe that. [Are you sure its not your fault Trunks. Are you sure.] Just like you expect me to believe you're a saiyan.

[He's not buying your fancy tricks, future boy!!]

[tochangethefuture]

[Trying an alternate strategy after almost getting himself killed at their last encounter is hardly cowering.]

I don't doubt the terror's you've seen, Vegeta-san. The androids are still a class of their own… they are heartless horrors that have no Ki to be sensed, yet never run out of energy.

[Trunks doesn't know if the Vegeta of his timeline had ascended to Super Saiyan, but Gohan had. He himself has and that's why he knows: one Super Saiyan alone just isn't enough.]

The time machine travels back and forth between timelines, but from what I have gathered so far we have been displaced to another dimension entirely. It isn't capable of doing or causing that.

[Hence, not his fault. As for his being saiyan… yea, no comment on that.]
