TEST DRIVE : MAY 2016 EDITIOIN

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.

Cassandra Cain | DCU

ONE


[When she had arrived, she had been greeted as it seemed all were greeted: with placation by some and hatred from others. In truth, reading each and every one of the villagers made her feel nauseous; all she could see in any of them, regardless of their behavior, was fear. And while she liked being known as competent, fear was not something she wanted others to feel when they looked at her. That was why she kept to herself and spent her nights looking for others, others like her. Others who had, apparently, been cursed by this place. She needed answers; even if she was not much of a detective, she would need some clues before she could do anything about her situation. ]

TWO


[She had followed the shadowy creature into the forest and it had escaped her, much to her frustration. But somehow, somehow she had been turned around. There were voices. Paths didn't seem to go where they had once gone, even moments before. Cassandra wasn't happy, didn't enjoy being toyed with, and she wasn't going to stand for it much longer.]

If you wish to take me, come and fight. I won't play this game much longer.

THREE | HARPY


[She had wondered, since the first person here had been kind enough to explain what happened, which monster she would become. Which inhuman beast she would be. She had seen some of the others, and some of them hadn't seemed... terrible, really. It it was inevitable, she supposed, she could hope that it was at least something that she found appealing. She wasn't sure what might result, but when she found the feathers, she had to swallow an almost manic laugh. Didn't they know she was Batgirl, not one of the Robins?]

FOUR


[She had found the corpse. After all, just because she was no longer human, just because she was no longer in Gotham or Bludhaven, that didn't mean she didn't have a duty to perform, and so she'd been patrolling. And on her patrol, she had found the corps, partially eaten and starting to decay. She was glad of the last, glad that the scent didn't entice her as much as it could have because she was hoping to find the killer... not create another victim.

That was when the hunters came upon her, however, and her feathers bristled in frustration at the interruption. They stilled as she saw what they thought had happened, despite the lack of blood on her clothes or her mouth or her body, and she didn't even make an attempt to talk to them. Instead, she pushed up with powerful legs and attempted to take to the sky to flee...]
