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!

[A beat.] You run into spirits often?

[She's quiet for a second before shrugging.] I like the quiet. Not a lot of people leave the city.

[wavedude]

[He nods. Ever since I found out my Dad's the water one. And I'm like...half spirit. No idea how that works. Magic stuff, huh?

Oh. Uh, sorry I ruined your quiet.

[charmspeaks]

Magic stuff. [There's an exasperated tone to her voice as she agrees. Ugh. She understands all too well about that, being a demigod.] Your dad's a... water spirit? Like a male naiad? Wait, I don't think nymphs are male.

[herpderp.]

Oh, no, don't worry about it. It was getting too quiet anyway.

[wavedude]

[The exasperation gets a slight nod out of Kyle. It's always nice to find someone else that understands.] Yeah, he told me he was the spirit of water and had all these pretty cool powers like healing my sorry backside after I almost got myself killed trying to surf a wave way too big for me. What's a naiad?

That's when things start getting dangerous isn't it? [He chuckles.] Hopefully nothing jumps out looking for trouble.
