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:
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.
Test drive meme threads can be used for your roleplay sample!
NEW! Players with characters already in the game can earn up to a maximum of 3 coins by replying to potential character threads! You will need to have your normal 20 comment AC in the game. You cannot use this to go over the bonus 10 coins per month total, but you can use it if you are missing some threads to reach that coin total. Same rules as normal bonuses apply.
Sample scenarios:
SCENARIO ONE: So you've just arrived, fresh out of the hospital, and already 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.
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.
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: You've heard about the fog, but you've never seen it before. Now, the mist surrounds you. Barely able to see before you, you need to get home - and fast. It's far too dangerous in this situation.
SCENARIO FOUR: 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.
[When he'd first seen that new people started popping up in town, he'd been worried. It wasn't that long ago when he was one of the new arrivals himself, so he felt like it was almost his duty to see that the newbies weren't eaten - especially since, in his werewolf form, he'd almost done some of the eating himself. Luckily, it wasn't night yet; all these people must have been so confused and scared like he was back then, that the least they needed was a monster encounter this early on.
... And then there were people like... like this?
He blinked once and he blinked twice, not able to believe what was going on a little distance ahead. He'd probably stopped to stare, too. What the hell was this girl doing? Didn't she know how dangerous the place was? Well, clearly not, but-]
Dude, what're you... doing? [He asked regardless, taking a few steps closer as instructed - although without realizing it. Then what she just said properly sinked in.] ... Shoes?!
[Oh wow, this one just screamed loser. With guys like this, you needed to pick an extreme. Either you froze them out right away so you could get rid of them or you turned the sugary cuteness up to eleven so you could wrap them around your little finger and get them to do whatever you want. You could always switch part of the way through based on how useful they turned out to be, too. Go cold and they'd slink off and think it was their fault somehow. Go cute and they'd think they found your "hidden sweet side" and pat themselves on the back for it.
She pasted a big smile on her face and when she spoke, it was with the sweet, high-pitched voice of a grade-A genuine pop idol.]
I've had a reeeeeeeeeally rough day, so I'm having some cake! Everyone here is super nice, so I asked if maybe someone could go get me something cuter to wear!
[She picked at the boring, scratchy dress someone at the hospital had managed to scrape up from who-knows-where.]
