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.

Comments

[titularly]

[Osomatsu's expression drops, looking a little disappointed at her response.]

Eh? So.... what? You just came outta nowhere at the right time and beat the shit out of those guys just.... because?

[Well.. aren't pigs god like creatures in some religions? And it's not that weird for Goddesses to hurt people, either Mahiru... that's kinda why the word "smite" exists.]

[kirlian]

What...? No - I did that because you were in danger!
Those were monster hunters, you know. They kill people like us just for fun.

They probably wanted your fur or something disgusting.

[... Well - okay, both of those things are true.
But c'mon, she is just a high school girl?? Who is also a boar??]

[titularly]

[At the mention of them being monster hunters, and wanting to kill him for his fur, Osomatsu lets out a shocked gasp and his tail wraps around the front of him so he can hug it close to his chest.]

Y-you mean like... like they were gonna kill me and make my skin into a hat or-- o-or hang my head above their front entrance or something?!

[that's quite disturbing to imagine, actually]

[kirlian]

Probably. I know they do weird stuff like that all the time - I mean, when they're shouting stuff at me, it's always about how "Minotaur ivory" goes for a high price as a Naga repellent, or how "amazing" my horns would look over a fireplace.
I don't even know what they'd do to even make it into repellent...
And I'm pretty sure I don't want to know, either.

[Said as she brings a hand to one of her horns nearly unconsciously, rubbing it a bit.
As much as she hates her horns, she... doesn't really feel like forcefully parting from them.
If they fell off? Sure, whatever. But otherwise, no.]

What are you, anyway? I've never seen someone turn into something so...
Ugh, don't take this the wrong way or get any gross ideas - but I've never seen a monster this cute before.
Werewolves usually get, y'know, intimidating... and Manticores are definitely part bug.

But all you have is fluff, like you're part stuffed animal. Definitely not a scary looking monster at all.

[titularly]

[Osomatsu just.. silently pets his tail while listening to Mahiru's terrifying stories of people threatening to make her into Naga repellent or hanging her horns over their fireplace.

Surely, he's underestimated the shittiness of the locals here... though, how were you supposed to expect them to be hostile after being handed food and a warm place to stay for the first month?]

O-oh, me?

[He's grateful for the change of subject though, and even gives her a grin.]

I'm s'posed to be a Werebear, I guess? [He lets go of his tail then, and gets up to his feet with a small shrug.]

I dunno if a red panda is actually a type of bear or not... but I'm totally cute, right?

[He leans towards Mahiru then, bowing his head a little in her direction.]

You can pet me if you want~

[kirlian]

Sorry, I'm not really the type of girl who pets guys she just met.

[Said with her hands up as a "no thank you" style gesture.]

But... I'll admit, I'm definitely jealous. I mean, look at you - that big, fluffy tail is totally cute.
My own, though...

[It's getting swept forward, almost like a big, powerful limb in its own right.
Probably because... it is.]

Ugh, a girl like me shouldn't be stuck as a Minotaur, of all things. It's gross.

[... Also, hopefully he doesn't mind her just... putting a hand on his head, so she can tilt it back a bit.
Checking out that gash on his face, since it's still bleeding... Seeing as it's not that bad, though, she's going to root through the messenger bag over her shoulder, pulling out a small, portable first aid kit.
Nothing fancy.]

Here - let me clean that up for you, okay? If that cut gets infected, you'll seriously regret it.
