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'd heard of the Fog God in dribs and drabs before, along with tales of the other two gods, who seemed to be a lot more prevalent. It was definitely good to have things confirmed... including the fact that the changes would be starting quite soon for him. If this was all even real-- no, he had to accept it as true for now, or his deductions would be skewed. It didn't mean he couldn't look for inconsistencies, just that his prevailing theory had to take the improbable monsters into account.
He gives a grim little nod at Kain's last sentence, mouth compressed into a line.]
Do you know how to tell what you change into? Did you know you were going to be-
[Maybe someone normal would've found the reaction weird. Unfortunately for Kain's odds of realizing that he's not talking to an actual small child, between dealing with Rydia and being Baronian nobility raised to the idea of "this is how you survive"; he's already horrified one person panicking about there being kids here with "Just teach them how to handle things so they can take care of themselves when we can't protect them".]
[He shakes his head.] I can't say I'm surprised - due to some of how my order works, it was probably the path of least resistance, but there was no warning until it started. [At some point he does need to note the "not always full dragon" part, but it's not something where there's a rush.] For most it starts with smaller changes - enough that you could likely find someone from an earlier group that would recognize it before it's completed.
[So it wasn't illogical; there was some pattern and reason to be drawn from this chaotic-seeming place. You know my methods; use them, he reminded himself, quoting Holmes. Fact and deduction, and only then to work upon his hypothesis - not to be waylaid by emotion or what seemed to be.]
I'll have to make notes [half muttered, to himself. then he remembers his company and looks up, the childish act starting up again] So what kind of creatures are there? I heard some people talking about werewolves in town, which seems kind of scary!

[He makes a vague gesture, guessing.]
A dragon?
