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.
[Suddenly thrust into new situations? Yeah, Aradia had plenty of experience in that regard. After all, the dream bubbles were a constantly shifting and changing place, and it could take little more than a step to find yourself going from one memory to another, often ones you hadn't a single clue of the source of. This hospital? Definitely one of those "no clue" times.
Weirder yet, her wings were completely gone! It happened sometimes that you'd change appearance at first if you were a part of the memory the bubble was hosting, but she really quite doubted that this was the case for this particular situation. A quick test just for the sake of it also proved that she didn't seem to have any sort of access to any of her other abilities either, which was even more curious and peculiar. The pamphlets just put the icing on top of the cake in terms of how odd this situation was, and Aradia couldn't help but laugh a little at some of the titles, even if some didn't entirely make too much sense to her. So, she plops herself down in a chair near the exit of the hospital, leafing through the pamphlets to see what else they had in store, completely ignoring the stares of the locals around her; as far as they figured, she was already a monster. Help this girl out, anyone?]
2.
[She wouldn't call herself lost, per se; the better word would be adventuring! Aradia had always had a penchant for some adventure, and this was definitely a place worth exploring further. Even though she no longer had access to her powers, the creepy atmosphere and phantom giggles didn't phase her at all-- ghosts were ghosts, the dead were dead, what was there to fear? She'd spent her early life channeling and controlling the spirits of the dead, another good few sweeps being dead, and now another whole sweep ushering the dead through the afterlife. By this point, spirits were more like friends than anything to fear, as far as she was concerned. So, she continues on her way with a nonchalant skip in her step, humming gently to herself as she peeks around corners and peers into crevices to see if she could discover anything interesting.]
[He rests his elbow on the back of the chair she's in, leaning over just close enough to be friendly but not invade Aradia's personal space. She--like him--stands out like a sore thumb around here, her with her grey pallor and impressive set of horns, him with a single cybernetic eye and its glowing circuitlike branches. Does he know what she is? No, and he gives a crap even less.]
Really think you're gonna find something useful in those papers?
[He's since ditched the impressive collection that he made, on the grounds that none of them had the information he cared for.]
[Aradia leans her head to look up at the stranger and give him a friendly smile, obviously just as uninterested in his appearance as he was with hers; she'd been a robot before, not to mention she had friends with robotic parts, and met plenty of people that weren't her own species, so it wasn't too weird to her.]
Not really, but they're funny to read! Have you taken a look at "Nice to Meat You"? That one's a riot.
[The troll thumbs through the stack of pamphlets she had in her lap, pulling the aforementioned laugh riot out and offering it over to the stranger.]
Here you go! I ought to be offended they assumed I was going to go around eating people, but these are frankly so ridiculous I can't help but feel like it's all a joke.

No, think I missed that one. Still have it?

I got one like this earlier. Same message, but uglier illustrations. Must have an awful lot of man-eaters washing up on their coasts.
[boy you don't know the half of it.]
