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.

[The demon gives Eren a look that clearly shows he doesn't hold it against him.]

Don't worry about it, so long as you're safe, that's the best we can hope for. And look, we've got firewood, so it is not as if you will be coming back empty-handed.

[He takes a momentary look around, checking for where he'd marked the plants on the pathway. So far, it looks as if they're headed in the right direction, at least.]

By the way, what manner of tracking have you been taught? Perhaps we can share skills? I may presume too much, but despite you being in a scouting regiment, you seem young. Have you fully tested your skills? This might be the time and place to do so.

[Eren grumps. Kurama can give him all the platitudes he can come up with, but when it comes right down to it, he failed. He failed at his mission, failed as a soldier trained to explore unknown places... he would have to get over it in his own time.]

Huh? [Eren is a bit lost in his own thoughts, then looks back down] You know. Looking for specific trees and rocks, marking a path, following your own footsteps, using the sun... [but it seemed like all the markings he made vanished, and that the sun would just flip flop across the sky for no apparent reason while he wasn't looking] I may be young, but this is how old people are when they join the military where I come from! I have plenty of field experience.

[Better a platitude than an agreement. Which, unbeknownst to Eren, Kurama is actually agreeing with the kid a little, he's just trying to be understanding rather than scathing. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Thankfully, hearing about Eren's life as a soldier is something of a change of pace. Something to catalog for later.]

Really? It must be a hard life though. And twice as hard now that you're out of your element, I'd think. This is a far cry from a soldier's life. It's rather...domestic, wouldn't you say?

[He takes a momentary pause in his walk to recheck his trail. Maybe they'll make it out of here after all! Still, if he were able to access his demon abilities, this would be much easier.]
