TEST DRIVE MEME

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: The State of the Game Discussion produced a lot of great suggestions and we now have a post for Plot Suggestions and Monster Questions. The NETWORK VOTE results are in and PRIVATE MESSAGING will be added some time in November. Lots of people have asked good questions on the FAQ, so do take a look. You can only app ONE character per round so choose wisely. Reserve and application dates have been announced. Test drive meme threads can be used for your roleplay sample! Sample scenarios: SCENARIO ONE: You've just been released from the hospital in Vandare and no one really seems to know what to do with you. The locals offer polite advice but don't seem to want to spend a lot of time with you. You and the other new arrivals stick out like sore thumbs, so perhaps one will spot you wandering about town. 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. 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.

I don't.

[Now there's a slight frown. That part bothers him, but what's worse is the fact that someone did this to him and he has no memory of it. He's more than a bit disturbed, to be frank. Not outwardly, of course.]

If neither of us do, I think it's safe to assume the other new arrivals are on the same boat.

[pawnable]

But why? It just doesn't make any sense.

[A thought occurs to him, and he puts it forth bluntly.]

Did you perhaps fail at something just before arriving here?

[energycreep]

Personally, merely showing up here is one of the least confusing things about this.

[It was going to take a long time to adjust to the body, but hopefully this wouldn't last long enough for that to even happen.

At the question, he appears to physically bristle; he does remember being locked in his coffin and dozing off on the ride to PC-7, the prison planet, but...]

No, not really. Did you?

[pawnable]

[He looks away at the question, his expression darkening.]

I did. Possibly at more than one thing. So I thought maybe this was my punishment.

[energycreep]

[Well, if NOS clearly didn't fail at anything whatsoever then there might not really be a correlation. Now he's tapping at his chin thoughtfully.]

Did you pass out or something? I certainly didn't come here when I was awake.

[pawnable]

I don't think I did. In my last memory, I was wide awake. I couldn't imagine passing out with all that was going on.

[energycreep]

So you just... blinked and appeared here somehow.

[Uh-huh. He's skeptical.]

I dozed off and woke up like this. [Referring to the gross human flesh suit. Ah, the disdain.]
