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!

Not at all, the fault was mine. [He's momentarily worried that she might have been hurt. He's learned that humans are not quite as hardy as Asgardians. But she doesn't appear to be hurt.]

A pleasure, lady Catty. I am Thor, of Asgard.

[traitorously]

[It wasn't, but Catty is a-okay with him taking the blame. She tucks her hands behind her back, one hand closing over her brand] Just Catty is fine! [She's definitely had enough of being treated like a lady] Hold on, Thor? You mean like, the god?

[courtedwar]

Aye, the self-same son of Odin, Crown Prince of Asgard and Lord of Thunder.

[He rests his hand on the large hammer tied to his belt, as though the presence of Mjolnir were all the proof he needed of his godhood.]

You know of the Gods of Asgard, where you are from?

[traitorously]

[That...sure is a lot of titles. Catty wonders for a moment if she should drag out some of her own. Saviour of the World, Destroyer of the Atrox? There's a snort of laughter from her as she imagines how embarrassingly terrible she'd have to be to do that. This Thor guy wears his a lot better. ]

So you're saying you have a big hammer? [There's a beat, before she remembers he asked her a question] Sort of! I mean, it's mythology, but mythology is still a lot more real than most people think.

[courtedwar]

You are wise, for one so young. [Thor is impressed.]

Your ancestors did not tell stories of Asgard or Olympus only to pass the time.
