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

[ Hotarumaru, as expected, happily ignores the correction, choosing rather to stand up on tiptoes and tug at Yamanbagiri's hood instead. ]

Ears. Kogitsunemaru-san is stylish for sure, but I didn't think you'd be the type to imitate him, Manba.

[replicatedform]

[Shaking his head, Yamanbagiri take a step backward when Hotarumaru hugs at his hood. Is it enough to pull it free from the oodachi's grasp?]

I'm not imitating him. [Sure, he wants to be different from the other Yamanbagiri. But that doesn't mean he's that eager to copy another sword's style.] I'm forced to have them.

[He glances at the pamphlets.] Did you finish reading them?

[lampyris]

Fooorced? Did Master tell you to have ears?

[ It's a joke. But thankfully, Hotarumaru can take a hint. He's fine with letting Yamanbagiri go if he doesn't want to show off, though he might pout a bit about it. He brings the pamphlet up to cover his expression. ]

Yup, I read this one and another one too. Looks like some strange things are happening.

[replicatedform]

Why would Master want me to have ears like this?

[And sometimes, Yamanbagiri isn't sure if he can detect a joke or not. After adjusting his hood a little, he lower his hands, which have something like claws poking out from his fingertips, through the little holes on his gloves.]

They don't explained everything, but they're true. The part about us transforming into something else.

[lampyris]

Aww, I'm joking, you know? Will you show me?

[ If making an attempt himself isn't going to work, maybe asking sincerely will. Hotarumaru waves the pamphlet he'd been reading. ]

I don't really want to turn into something like this, though.

[replicatedform]

[He's quiet for a moment, as he looks down at Hotarumaru.]

... No. [That's not surprising, however...] I don't mind if we're at the citadel. Just not in public.

[Even if the citizens knows what a werewolf looks like, Yamanbagiri wants to have some control over his privacy and comfort as much as possible.

He glance at the pamphlet.]

Many of us doesn't want this. [Himself included.] But it's a fact that we change into monsters.

... But no matter what kind you change into, you wouldn't be alone.

[Which was possibly how he manage to emotionally and mentally endure it so far].
