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.
She set out to save everyone. She went into the breach, codenames Scunner, Raiju - a code to get in, using a kaiju like a keycard, the sword, gasping for air, falling, falling...
It didn't work, then. The breach withstood their frenzied attempts to save their little blue planet from the destructive force of the masters. This, she thinks, must be hell. The hell to which she was consigned for her failures.
A scream rises in her throat. She swallows it down. But the tears still spring up to her eyes. ]
[He shifts his weight, gaze dropping away to wall off to the side; there's nothing to tell him what's going on or why it's that much of a despair trigger, but there's something else between her world and this, and he has his own fears of what might be home.]
No-one's found a way to get back from here, yet; the Fog God that brought us here claims she could send us back if we serve her, but even if she can, I've never known a creature like her that could be trusted - and even if she kept her word, it would likely only be to send ruin of her own home with us.
[It's a level narration; he's never been good at being comforting, always much more the type for pragmatism and just working with what's in front of him, practical estimates and tactical assessment. It's mostly just luck that it's a situation where his assessments aren't going completely depressing.]
[ Still, it's appreciated - the practicality of his continued explanation, the way he doesn't pander to her feelings. She wouldn't know what to do if he did. They are her own to control, no matter how quickly they will show themselves on her face. Her eyes are watery and her cheeks pink, but it's clear enough she's doing her best to keep her expression tight. ]
I would be surprised if there was a way back from here.
[ After all, if she is here, it is because she earned her place. Bought this punishment with the blood of billions of people she could not save. That they...
A hard swallow against a growing lump in her throat. ]
Can I find out what happened to my co-pilot? And the others?
[ They cannot be here. The Wei triplets, the Kaidanovskys, Chuck, Raleigh - her father. They tried so hard. All of them. Did more than their best, gave everything and more. What injustice could bring them to this? ]
[Co-pilot. She's from a crew. Of course his image is an airship, and a Jaeger would be uncomfortably close to his own world's form of "weapon of mass destruction sent by an alien race", but it's enough for him to grasp interdependence.]
If you haven't found them yet, they may not have been brought here. I've only known a few cases of more than one person from the same world, and they didn't always arrive in the same wave.
[As far as he knew, it was something that may be some small comfort; if there's anything left on his world, he'd rather his comrades be there than here.]
And I wouldn't trust any entity here offering a vision of your world - the few that might have the ability have agendas, and more to gain from lying.
