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.
[Shulk awkwardly scratches the back of his head. Well, perhaps the only feathers ruffled here were his after all. That's good. It's probably better to keep something like this under his hat until he's had a more concrete way to navigate what might be a very delicate situation. At least the boy seems to be in an even more pleasant mood, in spite of what to him was a very grim conversation.]
That's good. I'm...I'm glad.
[Because he definitely wants to keep in touch. Even if every single visit will probably cost him some money.]
Actually, I wouldn't mind a vision for the road. Maybe it'll lead me back to you. Assuming you're not setting up shop right here.
[Helps get over the awkwardness quicker, he figures, if everybody goes home smiling. Well. If he does. That's what counts, after all. He pockets the coins for now, the Tip Jar being a little too far to break his stride to reach at the moment.]
Sure thing! You can have this one on the house, too. [For this amount of promo? Free's just a show of good will. He'll be expanding soon, just you wait and see. He does his usual humming of concentration and comes up with:]
The path you're walking down's gonna take you where you wanna go, if you stick with it long enough. [Also, please keep hyping him.]
[Shulk waits patiently for the boy to parse his vision, tilting his head when he gets his future. Fortunately for Gideon, Shulk interprets it as mostly metaphorical - perhaps it was too far of a vision for him to see or understand clearly. Maybe like when he himself had seen Prison Island. If not for a chance meeting he might never have found it. And oddly enough, this vision sounds...positive.
In that case, he'd just have to do his best to make sure the boy's vision for him comes true. Shulk tips his head in affirmation.]
Thank you.
[Shulk turns on his heel then, stopping short of leaving to glance over his shoulder, giving Gideon a tired smile.]
...You can do wonderful things with that power. Never forget that.
[Rule one of fake fortunes: if it sounds generic enough, people'll apply it to just about anything. Serves him pretty well, even when he doesn't have sweaters or merchandise for clues. Still, he's got a feeling he's gonna be seeing this guy around, every now and then. So when he leaves, Gideon waves goodbye and says:]

I sure won't!
