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.
[He sure does seem comfortable in his body. It's rather impressive. A-ya isn't sure he could be comfortable with claws; how would he text? Important questions.]
I'm well-versed with the damage rumours can cause. [After all, he spreads them.] But could you inform me of the truth of the situation in that case? I can't say I find things like 'So you're becoming a Fur Bearing Trout' to be very informative but in this situation, all of these sound ridiculous.
[Then again, he is asking this of a gargoyle apparently. But who knows how things really work. It seems impossible that everyone would turn into a monster.]
Is it true that everyone is going to become creatures?
[Well Kain goes through a steady supply of cork plugs to avoid wrecking his keyboard...]
Yes. It starts about a month after you arrive; the power that's brought us all here pulls from random different worlds, about every other month. There are basic types, although some details vary from individual to individual...
[Another small, disparaging glance at the pamphlet.] And while I have seen some that were part fish, I haven't seen any trout with fur in the lakes or streams.
[Someone being so okay with this and so apathetic just points even more to this being a dream. It is a little strange though. A-ya never dreams about things like this. If he had to admit it, he dreams about his childhood often.
Ah well, his brain is just mixing things up a bit.]
Then could you tell me, in your experience, what is a telltale sign I'm becoming a gargoyle? I'd like to know in advance if possible.

[He mutters it, because this dream is absurd in every possible way. He half-expects his alarm to go off at any moment.]
And there's no known way to stop the changes? Adjusting seems... extremely difficult.
no subject
No. Whatever you end up, you can probably cast around for someone with similar changes that came before who can tell you what to expect.
