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.
[About to step out from what he vaguely remembers to be a side street, Nagito freezes, or at least manages to confine his shivering to one spot. He can't see far ahead, and the voice just then wasn't familiar to him, but something about it was. Was that...? His expression hardens, wary - but no, that's impossible.
Then again, so is he. And before he can even ask himself how an opportunity like this could crop up more than once, an opportunity to strike at the heart of despair all over again, he already knows the answer.
Reaching inside the pocket of his unhelpfully baggy coat for the pen-knife he happened to trip over earlier, he inches forward.]
[He shifts into a more defensive stance, eyes straining in the fog to try and see what's coming after him. Those are definitely footsteps he heard earlier.]
Halt, Demon of the Mist! To come closer is to meet your end!
Compared to the Cage of Ice, this chill is nothing. I will not allow myself to be taken by the servants of the Witch of Fog!
[He points the pen dramatically ahead of him, hoping that maybe it might look like something that'll chase this guy off. It's no spear, that much he knows, but in this thick fog, maybe its silhouette will look like something else?]
[If Nagito peers over and ignores his own chattering teeth, he's pretty sure he can make out the mist-obscured stranger's arm, though not much else. Hmm. That's worth noting.]
Ah... you're right, of course. A fog this thick can make even someone like me look kind of imposing. I've never seen weather like it...
[Despite the pen-knife still tucked in his hand, he says it as casually as if he was chatting about - okay, chatting about normal weather.]
The form before you now is not my own. By passing through the mirror, I have become they whose remnants wander the Earth. This shape twists my tongue, making mockery of my words. The Crimson Breast longs for salvation.
Huh, I see... That's pretty amazing for a world like this, isn't it? Normally it'd take practice to get good at talking like that.
[He pauses.] ...Oh, but I guess if it's natural, no amount of practice would help anyway. Haha, sorry! I really am impressed, though.
[Still hanging back in the same spot at the mouth of this shadowed alleyway, still perfectly nonchalant, he shifts his weight and folds his arms. Maybe it'll give him a better vantage point for seeing through the fog. ... No, not really, but he tried.]
[Anghel too is trying to get a good look at the faint silhouette in distance. He looks to be fairly normal--fairly human--but appearances could be deceiving.
Actually, it was a little odd that he wasn't being met by confusion. A few people had gone along with his words before, but it was questionable how many understood him. Was this some sort of trick by one of the monsters in this world to get close to him and devour him whole?]
...Tell me. What is your purpose for wandering the Devil's Miasma alone?
Purpose, huh? [That's a question that could have a long, long answer. Then again, after the unfortunate moment of mistaken identity, he might as well do this melodramatic stranger a favour and leave most of it out.] Well, I lost track of time after trying to look around the area some more today, and I don't really have any friends. That's it. Pretty boring, right? [His cheerful smile might be hard to see, but it's there.]
[He takes a moment to ponder the answer. It seems innocuous enough, and Anghel doesn't exactly have room to talk, given that that's pretty much his reason for being around in the fog too.]
And yet, knowing the danger, you do not retreat? Dare you persist through the Miasma unprotected?
Oh, so I am allowed to move! Thanks! To tell you the truth, my feet were starting to ache again. [Just like that, and certainly without waiting for whoever's there to lower whatever they're pointing at him, he tugs his far too baggy coat a little tighter around him and ambles out of the alleyway.] Haha, what are the odds of meeting someone thoughtful like you in a gloomy place like this?

Then again, so is he. And before he can even ask himself how an opportunity like this could crop up more than once, an opportunity to strike at the heart of despair all over again, he already knows the answer.

He straightens up slowly, his silhouette even wispier in the mist than he normally looks.]
You want me to stay right here? But it's getting cold out, you know...

[He's right!]
Do not mistake my caution for advice! The world is dangerous in this late hour, and even sinners must be on guard.
