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.

[BUT YOU'RE A MONSTER...WHO IS A SNAKE...]

They have to?
goldeneyeball: (let's butt heads)

[personal profile] goldeneyeball 2016-05-11 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[JW knows there are monsters who don't necessarily feed on flesh but...he can't be bothered to specify.]

In a nutshell, yeah. So get ready.
awesmazings: (☼ of paradise)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2016-05-11 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeesh.]

G-geeze, that's kinda...

[...]

...do...you have trouble with it?
goldeneyeball: (its only illegal if you get caught)

[personal profile] goldeneyeball 2016-05-11 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Me? Hardly. I'm stealthy like a shadow and my bite is quick as lightning.

[That lump in his coils is a vacuum salesman who absolutely refused to leave JW alone.]
awesmazings: (☼ and it pleased the Lord)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2016-05-11 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jimmy pauses, leaning over so he can look at JW's snake half again.]

No, I mean like...do you have trouble with it personally?
goldeneyeball: (yeah yeah)

[personal profile] goldeneyeball 2016-05-13 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[JW drops his chin into his hand and rolls his eyes so that he can look at something else and not look bothered. WHICH HE ISN'T.]

Oh, everybody does at first but it's you or them.
awesmazings: (☼  and it's a)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2016-05-14 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
There's gotta be something else, though! I mean, I...I couldn't...

[Kill somebody. Not now, not ever.]
goldeneyeball: (are you done yet im missing my stories)

[personal profile] goldeneyeball 2016-05-14 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you don't have the stomach for it, I guess there's always starving yourself until you lose your last scrap of humanity and don't remember doing it...or you could try the soup kitchen.
awesmazings: (☼ I used to live alone)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2016-05-16 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[He'll pass, thanks...]

The...soup kitchen?
goldeneyeball: (an old man before his time)

[personal profile] goldeneyeball 2016-05-16 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, some church around here does handouts. Stuff's disguised as regular food, you can't even tell.

[He gives an eyeroll. It doesn't do him any good.]
awesmazings: (☼ do you?)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2016-05-16 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[It might not work for you JW, but Jimmy's sure as heck gonna try it.]

Okay...soup kitchen. I'll see if I can find it. But I mean, I haven't changed into anything yet, so...I guess that means I'm okay for right now, right?
goldeneyeball: (wildwood)

[personal profile] goldeneyeball 2016-05-17 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[JW shrugs and goes back to slouching at his stand.]

Yeah, trust me, you'll know when the whole thing starts. You can usually hear it in the streets before anything even happens to you.
awesmazings: (☼ will take me through)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2016-05-18 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...

Is there anything I should really do before all...that happens?
goldeneyeball: (an old man before his time)

[personal profile] goldeneyeball 2016-05-30 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
[JW picks at something on his shirt with his claws and flicks it away.]

Enjoy your legs.
