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.

[ Ooh, that was a good point. Robin nods, wrinkling up his nose a little. It was sad but true; in a world where you were going to turn into a monster and probably go after the same people who were giving you free stuff now, it was eat or be eaten, right? Only in this case, it was suck up and hope that you wouldn't be someone's next meal. It's a pretty sad concept, considering. ] True enough.

[ Robin takes a second to look the kid over. How old was he, even? He had to be no older than Robin. ]

I don't think I want to know. [ He shakes his head, rather wearily. ] I guess according to how these things go, we're going to find out soon enough either way. The least we can do is try to adapt and maybe find a different way, if we can... [ If at all possible. Robin had a sinking feeling that "if at all possible" wasn't the case. ]

I'm Robin, by the way. [ He'll offer a very sore hand, but will try to smile as truly as he can. ] Nice to meet you, considering the circumstances.

(ooc- he's dressed like robin! he looks pretty beaten up, but otherwise he's dressed in uniform!))

A month. [ He muttered that estimated deadline like it was the diagnoses for how long he had left to live. Which, was it really that far off? It wasn't as dramatic as a literal death perhaps, but if half of what these pamphlets said were true, it would certainly be the death of the person he was now. He was still at that age where a month could feel like an eternity, but with that kind of deadline punctuating it, a month seemed like far too short a time. ]

[ The polite introduction manages to earn Robin a half smile that's about as close to genuine as he can pull off at the moment. ] Likewise, considering the circumstances. I'm Eddward, or Edd if you would prefer. [ He has to stop himself from informing him that it's Edd with two D's, a sudden pang hitting him at the realization that he no longer has to make the distinction. Swallowing it down he takes the offered hand. Getting a better look at him, he finally notices just how disheveled and beat up the older boy looks. ]

Oh my, are you alright? Did you wake up here like that? [ Edd had a few scrapes and bruises of his own but they were nowhere near as noticeable. Robin's were bad enough that he was appalled with himself for having only taken notice now. The boy practically looked like he'd had a house dropped on him! Initially, he'd been distracted by the odd costume; something he normally would have commented on it earlier, but in this place it was sadly not the strangest thing he's seen, and conversations about odd choices in fashion were just about the least pertinent topic of conversation on his mind right now. ]
