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.
[To answer her question, he reaches into his pockets and digs out a real gem. "Grooming Tips for Harpies." To make matters worse, his pockets look rather bloated, as if he's had to cram a whole bunch of items inside.]
I could barely take one step without one of the locals thrusting another booklet in my face. It'd be one thing if they were warning us about the local fauna, but I'm half convinced the population's suffering from a widespread delusion...
[Shaking his head, he tucks the booklet away and briefly scans the area. Perhaps there's some sort of toxin at play? Some mind-altering substance? Given what they dealt with in Florem, it's not completely out of the question.]
You mean impossibly stylish. It's a shame the people of this land have no appreciation for high fashion.
[The pompadour is a fine hairstyle, the look of a gentleman, not a monster. Though Edea's teasing is wonderfully refreshing compared to the hours of eerie laughter.]
Ah, but the two go hand in hand! After all, I do want to look my best for the ladies.
[First impressions are important! It just wouldn't have the same effect if he strolled up to a lovely maiden covered in dirt and twigs.
But, women aside, Edea raises a good point, and it's there that Ringabel's bright smile fades for a firmer, more thoughtful expression.]
In any case, it'd be wise to stick close until we find an escape. I trust you don't mind the company?
[Whether she does or not, his mind's already made up. It just wouldn't be right to leave Edea without an escort! Or any woman, really, but especially Edea. Besides, two sets of eyes are better than one, he was worried sick, and they'll likely face better odds as a team in case any unsavory creatures leap out from the underbrush.]

I see! They thought you were a monster already. I knew that hair was impossible!

[Actually no she regrets that do not give him any openings.]
Anyway, they probably are delusional or playing some twisted prank. I'm more worried about what's going on in this forest.
