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.

[ Now this is kind of weird. This kid is talking about payphones, but the best form of communication they have is a laptop? There was no way there could be such a huge gap in technology. At least, not that major. Robin didn't live way back in the early 1900's, but he was perfectly sure that laptops weren't quite a thing yet.

He would bring it up, but he finally gets a hint at where he's at. Ryslig. It's a name Robin's never heard of before. He didn't study the globe religiously of course, but if there was a town somewhere that threatened to turn ordinary people into monsters, it would at least be news worthy. It was a little concerning to know that something like this was going on, but no news coverage was broadcasted. Or maybe that was a good thing? Who knew? ]

Is Ryslig the name of the town we're in?

[noasark]

Country. We're probably not on any form of Earth you're familiar with, by the way, [he adds, shrugging.] So if that's not a name you've heard of, don't be surprised.

[birdarang]

[ Now that's a bit surprising. Robin's been to plenty of other planets, but a different Earth altogether? That's strange. ]

So we're not even on Earth. [ Robin looks around with his good eye, unsure of how to take this. It was bad enough he was apparently going to turn into a monster here soon. But this new information threw him in for a loop. ]

What about our homes? [ How did Robin forget this? The Titans must be going out of their minds. There was an awful feeling of guilt settled in his stomach, but he tried to ignore it. ] Is there any way to communicate with them?

[ Robin damn well knows the answer. But still. ]

[noasark]

As far as we're aware-time is more than 'off the mark' as well, [he mutters with a shrug,] Considering the testimonies of anyone lucky enough to share a homeworld.

...There are no communications, [he adds, studying the other for reactions.] We're stuck here.

[birdarang]

Off the mark? [ That was...a little confusing. Robin didn't like the idea of time being frozen but at the same time, it put his mind at ease. Last night had been absolutely awful; he didn't want his friends worrying about him more than hey had been during the past few hours. He might not be able to communicate, but he could deal with that as long as they wouldn't worry.

And then there was this 'homeworld' stuff going on. He's heard about it from others around asking questions, but it was still confusing nonetheless. ] I'm not sure what you mean by homeworlds, though.

[noasark]

I came from 1995, Japan-reportedly most people from 1995 don't have solid holograms and virtual reality.

On that note; if we're both from Earth, they'll be different, [he remarks.] Thus, 'homeworlds'.

[birdarang]

So wait, you came from 1995 with holograms and VR? Wonder how that works. We have that where we come from, but it's got it's flaws.

I...think this makes sense. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't tricky though.

[noasark]

That would be correct! And they're certainly not riddled with flaws, [he mutters, almost defensive on the matter.]

It's tricky, but with anything it shouldn't take much to get the hang of it...
