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.

She could feel that tingle through her as she got stuck in the fog as well. Though Clarke has experienced the dangerous affect of what another kind of fog can do. This fog is not orange, but it didn't leave her feeling any better about it. All she could do was stay calm and try and find somewhere to wait this out.

She had been feeling along a building in Vandere, trying to make sense of her directions. Waving one hand to try and make the thick, soft fog currently coating around her at least lighten up to see a few feet in front of her.

But it nearly made her run into someone. He's much taller than her, and she stumbled for a moment, her free hand still on the side of the building for support.

"Sorry. Didn't see you," she responded, glancing back up at him. She didn't see much of anything in truth.

Any movement in the fog raises suspicion because you never know what's waiting. What is worse is the fact that Sam has more than a few ideas of what could be, so he's on edge, and understandably so. Though he can hear light footsteps drawing closer, he has no clue what direction they're coming from until it's too late. He turns his head, then his torso just in time to be collided with.

He doesn't stumble, but he's certainly surprised, half-drawing his weapon up before he realizes that it's human, or at least she appears as much. There's a bit of relief in the way his shoulders relax, but to let his guard down entirely would be stupid.

"There's not much to see in general right now," he says, offering a short-lived smile. "Are you okay?"

He towered over her, but he seemed human, too. She had yet to find anything to qualify for a weapon in this fog, but that doesn't mean she hasn't looked. He seemed human though-- safe for now. She looked at him and then back from where he headed to see if she could actually see anything to no avail.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she told him. Aside from the stinging all over her body, she was alright. "Just trying to find the place I was staying. I don't even know what street I'm on now."
