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.
[Well, if she says so, Shulk won't argue. He backs off a bit. At this juncture, the minor injuries were clues, but little more. Especially considering their dubious origin.]
I couldn't agree more. [And what better way to start an investigation than asking the victim some crucial questions? Shulk's hand cups his chin.] Do you remember what you were doing before you were brought here?
Well! I was about to kill Vriska, but then John showed up out of literally nowhere and punched her in the face before I could! Then he decided to be a huge dork about it and wouldn't show me his dumb scarf even though it had instructions written by me in my blood all over it!
Hold on, I'm not sure I'm following...! [Shulk tries to untangle everything thrown to him in that string of words, but it's a lot of work.] So you were trying to...kill someone?
[Shulk grimaces. That's, well, that could be bad. Punching is decidedly less violent though, cheers to whoever this John fellow is.]
And you'd given him instructions to do that? To stop you, I mean. [Or maybe the instructions were unrelated. Putting them on a scarf in blood sounded far from practical anyway. Hopefully that scarf wasn't red.]
My choices at the time were to either kill her or let her go face a world destroying barkbeast that she helped create for the sole purpose of inflating her ego. Said barkbeast would follow her sparkly fairy scent back to our hideout and kill us. He would then carry our bloodied corpses back with him to taunt her, and after a difficult battle, kill her. Probably. The visions were unclear.
I had also mistakenly believed she was criminal behind the mass murder of our friends. In truth, she was only responsible for one of them.
[SHRUG. You can't win 'em all.]
It's not like I made the decision lightly! We had a dramatic confrontation about it and everything! I...didn't want to kill her.
[Despite her grin, she sounds sad at that. Despite their history and the antagonism between them, the decision to kill Vriska was not an easy one for her to make.]
But I guess some future me regretted it and told John to stop it since he had somehow gotten time and space hopping shenanigan magic or something. So it was me, but also not me, that told John to stop the execution! She must have been really desperate, if she was leaving the task to John of all people! That dork wouldn't tell me anything else though. Which is stupid, I have every right to know what a future alternate timeline me was thinking.

Enough about that though! What about you?
