TEST DRIVE MEME - TU SHANSHU EDITION!

Itching to try out writing a character? Then rev up your engines, grab your accounts, and slam your way into this meme! Here is a venue for you to try out whatever character there might be tickling your fancy, from fandom to OC, for as few as one and as many as MANY. Seriously, there's no limit.

How do you partake in this fantastic congregation of character testing? Why, by following these simple steps:

1. Comment with the journal of a character you want to test; put their name and canon in the subject line for added sparkles.
2. Tag around with everyone!
3. Profit like you live on a the back of a turtle!

But wait, there's more! For the low, low price of $9,999.99, you can even use one of our handy prompts when you tag someone. You could even pick one with a Random Number Generator to help decide which prompt to go with!

1. A Chance Meeting at the Turtle's Head.
   Remember, being here causes a great sense of-- well, shall we say inner peace.
2. Haggling Over Something in the Marketplace!
   Maybe someone else saw the exact same shiny thing you did at the exact same moment! However shall this be resolved? Remember: blood is extremely hard to scrub off of turtleshell!
3. Hey, I Just Met You, and This is Crazy...
   First impressions are always the most important, right?
4. WILDCARD!
   Go nuts. Suddenly your character is fighting dragons! Good God, they've found the Millennium Falcon drifting in the ocean! Do you really feel the need to polish every paving stone in the Earth Sector? Please note, Wildcard options are also what you can choose to do if you aren't yet comfortable in the Tu Shanshu setting and would prefer a more 'dear-mun' esque experience. Please specify in your post!

Zuko | Avatar: the Last Airbender

[flammatory]

[So rusty. Soooo rusty. No canon review done yet. HIT ME ANYWAY.]

Oh! Fancy meeting you here...

[12goingon113]

I should have known it would only be a matter of time.

[Says a very familiar voice from behind where Zuko is standing.]

Angua von Uberwald | Discworld

[someonesdog]

[OOC: Yes, you may also tag a large yellow wolfhound if you want.]

[cravats]

[There's a very distinctive scent on the air- another werewolf, undoubtedly, though there's a tang of something else, too. Randolph's pointy nose can't miss it. He makes his way through the market, following the trail, looking as inconspicuous as he knows how. No need to draw attention to the matter.

He watches the blonde woman out of the corner of his eye as he browses, wondering how best to approach her. She might, after all, be more private than she is. Still, to the observant eye it's clear he has some kind of interest in her.]

Looma Red Wind | Ben 10 Omniverse

[tough_love]

[Because the more practice, the better! 8+ foot tall four-armed alien warrior princess ftw!]

Galatea | DCAU

[reverse_impulse]

Today, citizens of the city on the back of the turtle will get a nice, sudden breeze as a blur of black and green zips by them. That blur is Thad and he's skidding to a halt just in time to avoid crashing into someone. Close call there.

"You should watch where you're going."

Jessica "J.B." Fletcher ⟡ Murder, She Wrote

[deus_ex_typewriter]

[...oh, dear...]

3!

[shorttempered]

[Invincible might have been flying just a smidge too low and too fast when he sees Mrs. Fletcher. He manages to stop in time, but it's not graceful in the slightest, and he winds up near her feet on his back with his feet in the air.]

Are you all right...?

Ow.

Arnold Wesker / The Ventriloquist | Batman: The Animated Series

[dummytalk]

[note: Scarface is not with him.]

Raven | Teen Titans

[zinthosmantra]

((I need more practice and a kick in the ass to finish this app.))

[alpha_squad_leader]

"Hey, sorry to interrupt but that guy is totally to overcharge you just because you're not a Kedan."

Victor had been browsing a book stall when he overheard the Kedan speaking to Raven about some prices. He waited until the shopkeeper went to deal with a more impatient customer before he approached Raven to warn her about the attempted cheat.

Milo Thatch | Atlantis: The Lost Empire

[linguist]

[so you need someone to work on translating kedan you say]

working on kedanese together?

[zinthosmantra]

{ Language buffs unite! Raven holds up the book she's been working from. ]

Found it. It's a double glottal but only after a fricative consonant, that's why.

Seyn Ayliffe | Original Character

[pawimprinting]

[Ex-gladiator-type of the future who has a bit of a temper but doesn't like showing it. Jaded in a world controlled by money, media, and consumerism, she's not afraid to be friendly with a bit of snark, but making friends is another story.]

1?

[zinthosmantra]

[ Raven had quickly discovered that the turtle's head was an ideal place to meditate... not just because of its effect on her but also everyone else who might be coming by to interrupt her. If only she could bottle this and take it back to use on Beast Boy... ]

Oliver Queen || DC

[itsnoteasybeingreen]

[OOC: Wow. This has been awhile. Be gentle. Haven't reviewed squat.]

sefihohsj I generated a 1.

[raptorcanaria]

[Now Dinah has a working motorcycle in her possession, it's become a common occurrence for her to drive up here regularly, just to use the calming environment as a reset button for her soul. She'll come, and she'll stand and she'll look out on the ocean for a few hours just to be alone with her thoughts.

As she rides up this time, she sees a person on the Head itself, but that doesn't stop her. She just leaves her bike at the end of one of the walkways and walks up to join... whoever it is.]

North ⟡ Rise of the Guardians

[naughtyornice]

[A very large Russian man stands in front of a particular shop. Eyeing the wooden horse in the window.]

Mmm...I don't like it.

Should be red!

[andaway]

Or blue.

[Clark says to himself, grinning at his inner joke. And then he actually glances at the man.]

Hello, I don't think think we've met? [He holds out a hand] Clark, Clark Kent.

Travis Touchdown | No More Heroes

[crownless]

[please don't let him into the city]

Robyn Hood | Zenescope Comics

[rebelhood]

Tony Chu | Chew

[cibopath]

[potential tw: Tony has the ability to get psychic readings of the history of any object he eats, and he's used it in the past on human beings (even if he doesn't enjoy it). Let me know if you aren't comfortable with that and he won't bring it up.]

Sorry Tony, Colby won't ever stop being offensive

[fdaterminator]

[Colby suddenly grabs Tony by the elbow.] Yo, Ton, check this out. [Motions to a clothing store.] Doesn't all this shit make you feel like you're at home? [Because they're Chinese-looking, get it?

Colby stop being a racist dick.]

Julian Keller / Hellion | Marvel-616

[leadermaterial]

1

[alpha_squad_leader]

Victor wasn't expecting to see Julian when he came up to the turtle's head but he's a welcome sight all the same. Smiling, the green mutant steps up next to his classmate.

"Hey."

Jesse Pinkman | Breaking Bad

[whiteboyname]

[relatable]

[She accidentally bumps into a cart right in front of him almost bringing it down. Abigail isn't normally so spaced out or clumsy, but her head still feels like it's spinning. Slowly she looks up and flashes his a nervous grin.]

Sorry. [She could have knocked him over with that.]

Leonardo da Vinci | Leonardo

[goneabitleo]

Something just crashed to the ground in front of you, fortunately landing in a thick bank of straw which may have been placed there just in case.

On closer inspection, that something turns out to be a teenage boy, who just jumped off a rooftop wearing a pair of homemade wings.]

Kate Bishop | Young Avengers

[joiedeviolet]

[Unsure if I will keep her current PB or go back to the comic for icons. We shall see. Also slightly rusty.]

Cambria Kilgannon | Amory Wars

[theknowledge]

[ mom of the year except not ]

Carter Kane | The Kane Chronicles

[kingling]

[eye_of_isis]

Carter!

[Sadie is literally shoving people out of her way to get to her stupid big brother]

About time you got here!

Spain / Antonio Fernandez Carriedo || Hetalia

[tierradelsol]

4.

[cantbewalled]

[Hey Spain, but you came at the worst best time because right now Prussia is slowly building a cleaning service company! Where they scrub your windows, do your laundry, and wear little to no-clothing. Just the way house cleaning is meant to be done. And guess who he is going to make stand outside half-naked with a sign advertising his business?]

Don't forget your ears. They draw in the most attention! [Obviously more than being half-naked.]

Hermione Granger | Harry Potter

[booksandspells]

[Warning this is a nonsense free zone, only logic need apply.

...With the exception that she is a witch...and she uses magic...it's the antithesis to logic, but her no nonsense point still stands.]

In the marketplace, reaching for the same thing?

[12goingon113]

Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean...here, you take it.

Princess Ruto | The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
