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.

[During the day, Soeki can pass as a human - or at least, a new arrival, since the locals mark him out as an outsider pretty easily. They're more on their game, it's really annoying. The biggest thing that gives away his werebear status is the bright golden eyes only partly dulled by fake glasses.

He's technically out for business, but who doesn't go to gawk at the new arrivals, look for familiar faces? When he spots one with a handful of pamphlets, he calls out helpfully,]
Half of those are bullshit, just eff-why-eye. You're better off getting the info packets at Pandemonium Books.

[ He has to go through a few numbers before he can answer. He realizes it occasionally makes him look odd, the pauses before he speaks or acts; it helps keep him calm, helps him from breaking his rules. ]

They didn't seem that helpful. But no one had mentioned that place. Pandemonium Books. Could you give me directions, please?

[ A moment as he considers how much information to provide, a moment before he realizes that it should be obvious but he's trying to engender some sympathy. It's a gamble, stating it again, especially with his lack of people reading skills. ]

I've only just left the hospital.

Ouch. The hospital. Went through that a couple months ago too, I almost got tentacled by a crash cart. [Sympathy gained, to be honest. Soeki feels bad for anyone that has to traverse the living flesh maze of the hospital that was never fixed.]

Pandemonium's in Bavan, across the peninsula, it's a few hours by vehicle. I've got some business here but then you can catch a ride back with me if you want, my truck's down the block.

I'd appreciate that.

[ If he could feel bad, he would feel bad; he doesn't because he can't, but he knows that he should and that's a burden on its own. Because don't think he missed the yellow eyes. And he knows, knows, full well that he's not in his own world at this point, that he's someplace else that works some other way. The man is almost certainly not one of the Withered. Definitely not some fallen god of ancient history, once worshiped and now forgotten, scratching out an existence in sad backwaters and the unsearched corners of human civilization.

That hasn't stopped him from working on how he can kill the man in the back of his brain. Which methods might work best. How to get a weapon, how to make one if he can't get one, where to hide it, how to get close enough to use it. Because the man looks like a Withered and that's what he does. ]


What business do you have? Here, I mean? Or... that you have a truck for?

[He's got no idea who he's really picking up, but would he be too surprised if he knew? Probably not. A lot of things have tried to kill him in his lifetime.]

Collections, mostly. I'm trying to zero out some accounts before we stop doing business in Vandare, settle some books, you know. I work for a PI firm based outta Bavan.

You're definitely gonna want to watch out while you're here. The locals aren't exactly friendly. The whole man-eating monster thing kind of puts them off.
