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.
sacrosanctum: (thoughts of failure)

[Instinctively, Pyrrha covers her face - she looks like a Grimm, and thoughts of either scaring the other person or making herself an attack target are at the fore of her mind. But as the question is asked, she lets them drop a little cautiously. This might not be her world, but she's still a warrior with the responses and reflexes that entails.]

I... [She swallows audibly before giving a firm nod.] Yes, I'm fine. I suppose I was just...a little surprised, is all.

[Understatement of the century, but coming face to face in a mirror with not only the face of the colossal monster she'd never seen the likes of before her final battle, but the creature that led directly to her distraction and death in combat is not a pleasant experience.]

I didn't hurt you, did I? [There's genuine worry in her voice - obviously he's not the first she's hurt without meaning to.]

[He just blinks back down, unsure why she is covering herself and if her appearance is change based… there are plenty of unusual beings running around in the world, he knows that much from his mother's stories, if nothing else. He grimaces then, when he feels pain and a push at his tailbone and fingers.

He can taste blood in his mouth, his teeth aching as well. Trunks ignores it all and just shakes his head.]


No worries; it takes quite a bit to knock me over.

[Even now that he's lost most of the advantages his Saiyan heritage offers.]
sacrosanctum: (encouraging greatness)

That's good to hear. [Relief is audible in her voice, and she lets her hands drop a bit more fully at that. It's easy to forget sometimes that other worlds don't have the constant, overbearing threat of the Grimm, and to anyone else here, she's just another monster.

Then again, that thought could be relieving or just the opposite.

Getting a proper look at him now that she's not walking into him, her strange eyes narrow a bit in confusion.]


You haven't changed yet? [Maybe she was particularly unlucky...]

[He smiles faintly, a little awkward to be suddenly studied like this. She is right of course, he still looks fairly human but…]

Not on the outside yet. I can feel it affecting me too, though.

[What else is that painful burn in his bones after all. Then as if on cue he reaches up to cover his mouth, a strangled noise rumbling in his throat before he spits out two of his teeth.]
sacrosanctum: (grave tidings)

[personal profile] sacrosanctum 2016-05-23 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She's about to ask what it is he can feel when he makes that sound and spits out his teeth, and though there's slight surprise in her face, there's also a certain level of practiced calm.]

It seems it might be happening already... [The loss of two teeth isn't much, but if it's leading to anything on the scale of what happened to her, things could get bloody quickly.]

If you need any help, I'd be happy to oblige.

[He shrugs, then pockets his teeth.]

Told you.

[Then, a nod and a faint smile – he is a little surprised about the offer; hadn't she just panicked herself? It would be rude to point that out though, and stupid to turn her down.]

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. If you need anything in return, just say the word!
