TEST DRIVE, MARCH ROUND

TEST DRIVE MEME
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.
  • The reserve date has been announced.
  • 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.
ingoodhans: (but then pop! goes my heart)

Both.

[ Hans just shrugs. You can trust him or not, kid. But he's gonna find a way out somehow. ]

Everyone changes here. Not into ghosts, but... other things, you know?
hirobotics: (go bug someone else)

[personal profile] hirobotics 2015-03-03 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He frowns, studying Hans's face like there'll be an answer written there. On the one hand, he did admit to being - or becoming - a vampire before actually doing anything vampire-ish. On the other... Well. Vampire.]

..Like what? Besides vampires and fairies?
ingoodhans: (it's really alright)

[personal profile] ingoodhans 2015-03-04 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Um... Kelpies and gargoyles and... well, I don't know. Other things. I haven't heard of a lot of these creatures before.

[ There's only so much lore you can get from trying not to die for a month here. Hans hasn't super had the chance to settle down. ]
hirobotics: (processing information)

[personal profile] hirobotics 2015-03-04 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Hiro frowns, brow furrowing. He has no idea what a kelpie is, and that's kind of annoying. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he wonders if any of the creatures of legend that he grew up learning about would be a Thing here.]

Sooo... People here just. Spontaneously turn into monsters.
ingoodhans: (you are gold and silver)

[personal profile] ingoodhans 2015-03-04 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
That's the gist of it, yeah.

[ Hans shrugs. It's not paradise, that's for sure. ]

Maybe we should get back to trying to get out of this forest?
hirobotics: (emotional agony being had)

[personal profile] hirobotics 2015-03-04 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[He hesitates for a second, but then he nods, even though he's giving Hans a suspicious look.]

... You're not gonna try to bite me or anything, right.
ingoodhans: (we're so getting married)

[personal profile] ingoodhans 2015-03-04 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't even have fangs, don't worry. You're safe from me.

[ Who wouldn't trust this face, right? Right?? ]
hirobotics: (no that's not what i want)

[personal profile] hirobotics 2015-03-04 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[SO SUSPICIOUS. But... He nods again, starting to walk in an arbitrary direction.]

Just- do me a favor and walk in front of me, then.
ingoodhans: (haha I cut off the lyrics too early)

[personal profile] ingoodhans 2015-03-05 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, I can do that.

[ SO SUSPICIOUS, CHILD. Hans is gonna have to work on his angle if people stop trusting him just cause he's a vampire :T ]

So, this way?
hirobotics: (let me just give it a tweak)

[personal profile] hirobotics 2015-03-05 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
[HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO GET BIT. And besides, Hiro's only just met this guy. There's no telling what his motivations are right now.]

Yeah, I guess so. You were trying to get back to the city too, right?
ingoodhans: (in the best way)

[personal profile] ingoodhans 2015-03-05 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, no, you're a smart kid. Good work. You will live long. Probably. ]

Yeah. I don't normally take this road-- for obvious reasons, now that I know it goes through a haunted forest.
hirobotics: (processing information)

[personal profile] hirobotics 2015-03-05 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[One can only hope.]

So what were you doing here in the first place?
ingoodhans: (quietly updates some icons)

[personal profile] ingoodhans 2015-03-05 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I was heading home. I'd gone to visit a friend who lives outside the city.

[ POUT. ]

I don't see why I owe you an explanation.
hirobotics: (emotional agony being had)

[personal profile] hirobotics 2015-03-05 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pout all you want, Sideburns Man. Hiro has resisted stronger pouts than that.]

You're an almost-vampire out in the dark creepy woods that you claim to have never walked through before. I think I'm allowed to ask a question or two. You know, in the interest of my health.
ingoodhans: (I'm just like w/e)

[personal profile] ingoodhans 2015-03-06 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
There are stranger people out there, trust me. You spend enough time in this place, a vampire being lost in the woods is "normal."

[ Hans shrugs. Okay, so you're being reasonable and smart. Good kid. ]
