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.

"Oh, it wasn't I--" She holds up her hands and shakes her head, quick to distance herself from receiving any credit for the breaking of the curse. "Nay, it was a boy who saved me, a boy and his brother. They were traveling through the wood when they happened upon us, my Auntie and I, and..."

And then she nearly devoured them when the spirit took hold of her, but Lorna would much rather never think about that ever again.

"...And what happened then matters little now. Now I am here, and soon his efforts will be all for naught."

A boy and his brother. Even in the dark it's easy to see how Beatrice reacts, the focused curiosity disappearing in the wake of Lorna's news. She opens her mouth, closes it, too busy trying to work out whether or not it could possibly be the same pair of brothers to care how stupid she has to look. Like a fish, probably. A stunned stupid fish that can't possibly believe in a coincidence this big.

She almost asks immediately about the boy-- if it was Wirt, was the boy wearing a stupid hat? But Beatrice stops herself. It's not priority. She needs to know about the curse, not this girl's social circle. And.... and it couldn't possibly have been Wirt, there's no way this was the other girl he mentioned ages ago. If he knew how to break a curse that causes cannibalism he would have said something. Beatrice shakes her head, takes a second to regain her composure before resuming the questions.

"That's just how it works here. Are you sure you don't know how he did it?"

Oh.

Well.

That sure is a good impression of a fish, alright. Spot on, really. Now if Lorna could just figure out what it is she said to make Beatrice decide to become one with her inner beached-bass, that would be great.

"Oh, aye, that I know." She replies, nodding quickly. "There was a bell, you see, an enchanted bell that my Aunt--"

She pauses, trailing off as it dawns on her why Beatrice would ask about this in the first place. Her eyes go a little wide, her fingers moving to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear as she tries not to feel too slow for not realizing where this line of questioning was headed before now.

"...I'm so sorry, I've gone and raised your hopes, haven't I?"
