TEST DRIVE, JANUARY ROUND

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:

  • 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!
  • 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.

B-b-b-breaking the combo

[A quick look-around, that's all that Chie is out here for. If anyone else has shown up here from her world, especially Nanako, she needs to keep an eye out. But at the same time, it's like going into a grocery store while hungry. Everything looks delicious...

Someone speaks up from behind the wendigo, and she visibly startles and turns around. She shouldn't, due to the amount of people around, but... well, she'd become a little more easily jumpy lately. Probably something to do with the whole deer thing.]


H-huh? Me?

[...Oh dear. Seems he's startled the poor... girl? Deer? Deer girl? Definitely not the sort of creature you encounter every day, but no matter. Perhaps it's as the pamphlets said, and she's been afflicted by whatever curse has infested this land.

...which means that there is indeed a curse. But, while some may find such revelations repulsive, Ringabel is not one to show disgust in front of a lady! No. If he caused her alarm, then it's his duty to remedy the situation.

So, he'll start by cracking a dashing smile, taking a small step closer.]


Of course. You seem like a charming young lady-- a woman with experience, so I would be deeply grateful for any assistance that you may offer.

[A beat.]

Ah, but where are my manners? You may call me Ringabel. And you, miss?

[... this guy... is weird. One of the locals from Bavan? He kind of has that air of one of the more affluent of Bavan's populace, but... no, the clothes are all wrong. He can't be local, unless maybe he just has a weird sense of style.

Or he's just a weirdo. Which is a very real possibility.

Chie visibly settles a little, though her tail is still up and at alert behind her. She's not concerned about needing to defend herself - her hooves have more than proven themselves - but still...]


Uh... Satonaka Chie.

[Wait, crap, he might be American or something.]

E-err, Chie Satonaka. Chie is my first name.
