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.

Ah...

[ she looks down at her hands (the fabric pools around her elbows) ]

Aye. Even durin' the daytime they don't go away. And that's usually when I'm feelin' ma best.

[He tilts his head at that]

I'm sorry.

...I'm afraid all my social ...cues are going to rust.

[He frowns] Coming out here more and more. Maybe try staying to the city.

Seems to help.

[firefalls]

I can't.

[ and she sounds pretty miserable about that. ]

Not bein'— bein' like this! I mean there are times that I don't just look like a bear. It's like I become one on the inside too.

[ she curls her hands into clawed fists, then sighs and looks across at him. her gaze flicks over his own changes, and her shoulders sag. ]

Is it like that for you?

[Lindsey just sort of stares at her for a moment. Is it like him?]

I was a lawyer. I was smart. Sometimes in the sun...I get slower. [He hates that] You're talking about instincts. Instincts is the word you're looking for. Do I have instincts?

[Silence. then, he raises a hand over a pile of rocks...and they roll over towards him]

I can do that.

That's sort of new.

[firefalls]

Well that's somethin'.

[ she looks curious about this ability of his. ]

If ye want ta build a house or somethin', I suppose.

[ look, she's trying to be positive here. ]
