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.
[The noises were a disturbance, sure. But they could only really bother a person open to being bothered. It was more of a scare tactic than anything else.]
An idea? [A quick, reflexive look at the ugly, oversized wristwatch he insisted on wearing. If only he could get it working, all their problems would be solved.]
Not really, no. I'm just a kid -- not sure what use I could be when it comes to something like this. [Suspicion subtly deflected.]
[ Crane takes in the quick glance, but doesn't think much of it. Hell, he is used to checking his own near obsessively from the need to know when night hits back in Harran.
No, the thing that catches him is more the kid's response. ]
Right... Just a kid who knows martial arts and practices in the creepy woods. Sure thing.
[ The deadpan shows how much of that is believed. ]
At any rate, if we have to fight our way out-- [ eventually ] --that's a use in itself.
[At the disbelief, the boy grimaces and steps closer in a gesture that was hopefully disarming. He couldn't let anyone figure the Big Secret, even here.]
Just a kid who picked up a few belts because his parents didn't want him on the streets. But if you're interested, I could teach you some of the basics. It's not like we've got a lot else to do while we're here.
[ Crane's not fully convinced because there's still the issue of practicing your art in the Big Creepy Woods, but whatever. It's not worth hanging onto. And hell. Maybe the kid is completely telling the truth, because if he's used to the streets, he knows that there's worser things than monsters in the world.
So Crane shakes his head wryly. ]
Nah, I'm probably not much for that sort of thing. I'm more of... Run and blow them up kind of guy.
[ Or slice them with a sword, but those are a little short around here. ]
