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.

[Edgeworth looks at him as if he's seriously reconsidering the man's level of intelligence. When he speaks it's dripping with condescension, as if he's speaking to an exasperating child.]

Firstly, most of us were not bitten. Those of us who were didn't have an opportunity to avoid it. The bites simply appeared with no explanation.

Secondly, you must not have met many of us yet if you think it would be so simple to avoid getting bitten.

[ And he just can't help but stare. Because this is going against what he knows and that's annoying. Fascinating, yes, but still annoying. ]

Interesting. I was under the impression that you could only change via vampire bite, not through mysterious means like yours.

[samuraiprosecutor]

I was under the impression that all of this nonsense was entirely impossible outside the realm of fiction. It seems we were both wrong.

[He shrugs.] But really, it's best to doubt anything you read in those pamphlets. The accurate information in them is in short supply. Case in point: there are many other types of monsters besides vampires, and as far as I know, none of them start changing with a bite.

[ Victor didn't want to say what was on his mind (that the only reason he was sticking so close to vampires was that he knew the most about them), so he simply nodded, with a frown. ]

What other sorts of monsters are there? The pamphlets were...varied, to say the least.

[samuraiprosecutor]

There are ones with animal traits--werewolves, bird, snake, or spider people, that sort of thing. I know a young man who's rather...dragon-like. Large wings, fire, et cetera. The rest I'm not as familiar with, but some look positively demonic.
