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 stares, faltering a few short steps backward, his hand unraveling from its fist. He's silent for a moment, studying Sora's features. He wasn't wrong. ]
You're the boy from the dreams. The one in red.
[ He looks older now, but it really is him. Unintentionally mirroring Sora, he sieves a hand into his hair, his eyes dropping to the ground. ] I don't... How can I be me if I'm you? [ And back to Sora. ] How can we meet each other like this?
[ He reaches out to put a hand on Roxas's shoulder. ]
I don't know how it's possible, but...you're not me, Roxas. You're you. You're a person all your own, especially here.
[ it's something that they maybe do need to worry about, but he won't do so right now. not when he has roxas right in front of him, existing separately and with his own heart. ]
[ As soon as Sora gets out his last syllable, Roxas shrinks back into his shoulders and steps away from him, feathers raising, shoulders hunched. He looks at Sora in wide-eyed confusion, his pupils contracting and then shrinking to near pinpricks, as if it would somehow scare him off. His other arm comes around his stomach.
To himself, mostly: ] I've gotta be dreaming. This can't be right. How can I be my own person if I'm actually part of someone else? Someone I don't even remember?
[ There's nothing to say Sora is telling the truth, but what's to say he's lying either? ]
I'm still me, even though I have my heart. Axel said we'd be whole again once we got it. If I didn't turn into you, I can't be from you. [ That makes sense, right? ]
