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.
[And that was going to happen to him? Suddenly, things seem less appealing. He has this horrible vision of being half man, half skag and its the worst.
The only thing worse would be being surgically attached to a CL4P-TP unit.]
How's the curse work--wait, don't answer that, there's no way you have that answer or you would've fixed it. [Mismatched eyes flick sideways] Right?
There's people working on a way to fix that as we speak. Not sure how many scientists are on-board but I know quite a few in the medical profession who are doing their best to make the changes less of a pain. All you can do is hope that your transformation won't be too painful.
[Another chuckle slips out of him as he turns a corner, leading them on to a different street. The shade still hasn't noticed that his hand turned in to pincers.]
A few people on the network believe and say that they can kill the gods. They claim to have experience but not everyone believes them for obvious reasons.
[He's been shot at, cut apart, branded, and had metal surgically installed in his face. He likes to think his pain tolerance is pretty high.
That doesn't mean he'll actively seek it out, of course.
The thing about trying to kill the gods though, that gets his interest. He won't say that he's killed gods before (not because he made other people kill them, but because he doesn't wish to make himself a target).]
I do. I tend to say that phrase to others back home. [Sometimes. It really depended on his mood at the time.]
Here? Not yet. [He shakes his head before his hand reverts back to normal.] Although I would love to see them try. Unless you're asking about where I come from.
[The shade comes to a stop before turning to look at the other man, making sure the new comer was still following. Then he gestures to the place before them.] Welcome to the market. It's not much, but it'll have to do.
[He never found Pandora to be an impressive planet, except for the fact that it was hiding so many vaults -- in theory, at least. He hadn't confirmed it yet, but considering the fact there were at least two...it stood to reason there could be more.
But that was neither here nor there. Pandora was a sad little desert planet, and this market...well, it was better, but it still didn't measure up to what he would've implemented, if he was in charge.
[Jack's response causes him to chuckle, even though there was no movement in his face, throat or chest. Don't mind him as he takes a moment to change back in to his human form.]
Well, if you don't like the selection here you could make your way to Bavan. Things are a bit more advanced over there but you'll need to take a carriage. Unless you enjoy walking everywhere.

That's a laugh. You ever see anyone try?
