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!

The first comment/thread on this test drive is going to be titled ENABLE ME and it's where you post character accounts/muselists, etc and others (members, passerbys, shoulder demons) can enable you to apply to Tu Shanshu! Come, let us enable you to the turtletastic madness!

[ Handsome yet adorably awkward stud wants to tell her his life story? ]

Sure, why not?

[Ah, okay... where to start? The beginning is a good place, right?]

I wasn't actually raised by my birth parents. I was found as a baby with this medallion around my neck. It had the symbol of the gods on it, so my parents - uh, my other parents, I guess - thought I was a gift from the gods, and I grew up with them. Then I decided to go to the temple of Zeus when I was older... you know, to get some answers about where I came from.

It, uh. It turns out Zeus and Hera are my mother and father.

[Y U P.]

I know, I know. Son of Zeus, right? The first person I told didn't believe me either. [Up until God Dad struck him with a bolt of lightning, anyway.]

[ Staring. Staring. Oh God she's flirting with a crazy. At least he's not a demon. Or Lex Luthor. Ugh.

No, he has to be joking. There's no way he's serious.

When he's finished she's silent for another moment, and then she bursts out laughing. ]

Okay, okay, you're good. What, are you a journalist?

[anactionfigure]

[...DOES NOT COMPUTE.]

Journalist?

[partofthematrix]

An actor? Is this part of a play you're doing? [ Come on man work with her here. ]

[anactionfigure]

I'm not... [Sigh.] You don't believe me, either.

[Which, to be fair, was pretty obvious when she started laughing at him earlier.]

[partofthematrix]

I mean, come on, you can't be-

Oh God, you're serious.

[ Angels and demons she can believe, but somehow demigods don't make the list. Superheroes are different, you know? ]
