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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Ugh. Why would you want to do that? You're too young to be wasting your time with papers. At least not unless you're burning said papers. I'd say you're too young for matches too, but there are some forms of destruction I believe kids should start practicing at an early age.

[Tuffnut would make a terrible babysitter. Usually his peers play damage control.]

I don't like fire, it boils me.

[ No Ron, not since you got here-- Oh well. ]

But I wanna burn paper too.

[It boils him? Tuff's fairly sure he means it 'burns' him, but far be it from him to correct anyone on their word choices, especially a kid. That'll just leave things open for everyone to correct him on his grammar, and screw that.

He gives Ron a hearty pat on the back.]

Alright! We got ourselves a little troublemaker in the making. You just listen to Uncle Tuffnut and I'll set you on the right path. The path of awesome.

Is it really that awesome to burn paper, uncle Tuffnut?

[ It makes his eyes sparkle a little bit. He's never been awesome before. ]

Well, paper's just sort of a starting point. Burning it isn't that fun unless you have a whole lot of it. You need to work your way up to burning buildings and forests. That's when you get the best bonfires, my little friend.

[No seriously. Terrible role model.]

But houses are for Godzilla to step on, right?

[ Not... that... either... ]

[The viking raises an eyebrow, confused by the question.]

... What's Godzilla?

It's a reaaaally big crocodile.

[ Nor really. Really. Really not really. ]

Are you sure that's not a dragon?

[There are wingless dragons, this makes complete sense. Godzilla would absolutely be a dragon in his world.]

Godzilla is a dragon?!

[ Oh god, he's suddenly so excited. That's so amazing! ]

Really big lizard? Sounds like a dragon to me. And I have experience with dragons, you know. I ride one.

[Well, half of one, anyway. He has to share it with his twin. Still, that's gotta be worth some admiration.]

Dragons are real?!

[ Oh boy, he's going to explode in excitement. ]

Uh, yeah. Obviously.

[Okay maybe not so obviously here.]

Well just take my word on it, okay? I totally ride one.

[Half of one.]

Is it coming here?! I wanna see!

[ He tugs at Tuffnut's shirt in a "please" kind of gesture. ]

Well, uh. I don't... know.

[Sorry, kid. They weren't exactly a packaged deal.]

Oh.

[ His face falls. He wanted to meet the dragon too. ]

Okay.

Yeah, I know. I miss them already.

[He sighs, leaning back on the bench.]

But if they can bring us they can bring them, right? Maybe I can ask about it.

Them?

[ What is this he's hearing? There's more than one of them? ]

That would be awesome.

Yeah, them! There's tons of dragons where I come from!

[None of which he might be able to bring here, but still.]

Mine even has two heads. I'm not sure if we ever decided if it was a he or a they.

That's amazing, can I come?

[ He would much rather go to a place where there's a lot of dragons than a place where he's most likely dead anyway and... he's not sure if he's going to heaven or hell. ]

To where I'm from?

[He scratches the back of his head.]

I don't know if they can even do that. Whoever they are...

They can't? So this is hell?

[ He's pretty sure murderers and thieves go to hell even if they pray. ]

What? No, of course not. You can't get nice food in Hel, that's Valhalla.

[He thinks, anyway.]

What's that?

[ He was raised catholic, there aren't any books supporting other faiths at the orphanage. ]

Don't bad boys go to hell?

Well yeah.

[Though he thinks of it with one less L.]

But heroes go to Valhalla, where everyone feasts and stuff all day. Kind of boring if you ask me, but people seem to go for that.
