TEST DRIVE MEME

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:

  • Manticores have been added to the bestiary!
  • Lots of people have asked good questions on the FAQ, so do take a look.
  • For the first app round only, you can app TWO characters.
  • Mod applications are open until Wednesday!
  • 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.

"That's actually kinda cool. ... I mean, awful, but cool. Very 'Little Shop of Horrors', you know?"

Better watch out, Jehan, or she'll start calling you Audrey II instead of Spinach John.

"I am not sure of your reference, really..." Jehan shakes his head, not quite getting the reference. While his world has its share of nasty dentists, particularly one named Babet, it does not contain plants with any sort of taste for them, so he can only shake his head when it comes to that. It's a thing he's not been exposed to here, though if it exists that ought to change. As for 'cool', well, his first thought is temperature, naturally, even though he knows perfectly well it is a slang term now. At least he takes that statement for what t is.

"I suppose as things like this go, it might have been much worse, true. I did rather love plants at home, but this is, well, a stretch from my windowsill violets."

foolishwren: Im highly fucked up. Ive been known to say rude things and watch the carnage brutally unfold (ill tell u this right now: im from hell)

"... Oh. Uh. It's a musical."

Maybe they didn't have it in France.

She's just... sort of assuming he's from modern France, because Heather is, to be honest, rather sheltered. She may have slain a god and seen worlds most people couldn't even dream of, but she'd done all that in good old Maine.

"Ah..."

Jehan decides to just go with this. It seems to be another of the mysteries of the world that happened in a later time,like the burgers he's found out about here. He's content to leave that as it is. He might be making modern France seem a little more backwards, but even so, it works for him now.

"Well, in any case, you are right about it being worse. I would hate to be one of those other species people are becoming here. Those almost confined to the water and such. Much as I like swimming, that would get quite old, very fast."
