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:

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

A Chance Meeting at the Turtle's Head.
Remember, being here causes a great sense of-- well, shall we say inner peace.
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!
Have Met Before? Because I Could've Sworn I've Seen You In My Dreams.
Have you wandered into the realm of Dreaming via an archway in Keeliai? Here, everything is shaped to your character's individual mind. Dreams can be shared between characters and will result in a meshing of minds. These dreams can be positive or negative, depending on your character.
Dramatic Chase Sequence!
You're running away from something! It could be anything, from a rampaging kirin to a gaggle of overly enthusiastic children, or even one of the newest editions to Keeliai's menagerie, an incredibly affectionate turtle the size of a minivan! One way or another, you can't stop, and much like a katamari ball, you feel obligated to grab everyone in your path along the way to keep them out of danger! Or perhaps you're more the sort to try and knock them into it as a distraction...?
Spring Fling!
Apparently the kedan take the "starting anew" aspect of spring very seriously and have started showing their appreciation for flowers and lovely weather by kissing everyone they across! Neither age nor gender seem to play a factor (though the children will instead get kisses atop their heads, because they're not that weird) but you might find yourself liplocked with a random stranger just for walking down the street.
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 tall woman doesn't even get a second glance from The Stalk. Half an armless body of a woman half a spider, here, and she's definitely seen weirder in during all her travelling through space. So she's a near gigantic, red armored woman- she was just shot by a man with a TV for a face.

And she has more important things to worry about: namely what galaxy is this, where is she, did she lose her prey, did she truly die or is she just in a coma and heavily drugged? It is a mystery to her and all she gets is vague answers about a war (there's always a war), a realm between life and death and something about sea prunes.

And now she's getting insulted? It takes a second for her to realize it's her she's talking to, and when she does she gets a loud hiss.]

I've always known how to use my arms better, to be honest. [She says, pulling the shirt away to reveal three arms pointing at the giant with different types of guns./small>] Call me that again and we'll figure out how good.

[To her credit, that response actually earns a smile from Looma. Not the "I'm going to enjoy crushing your skull" kind of smile, either. The "oh good, a warrior in a sea of pathetic civilians" kind of smile.

Not that it's going to help the attitude much. Spoiled princess, here.]

"Well, it is nice to see someone on this miserable planet is not as pathetic as they appear."

[...yeah that's about as close to a glowing compliment anyone's getting today. If Looma had any intention of responding to the abrupt threat, the most that happens is she hefts the massive two-headed warhammer at her hip into two hands, holding it across her chest while two more remain free. Just in case she should need them, obviously. A sonic clap to the face tended to solve many of life's small inconveniences.]

"But if you are so eager to test me in battle creature, I will happily indulge you. After I find the answers I seek."

[Someone doesn't quite buy the story the locals are putting out. Go figure, right?]

[She tilts her head, hair falling to her side and the guns still pointing at the woman in front of her. It wouldn't be the first time someone's used flattery to get to her, even though she doesn't quite understand why they would be using it right now. Deal with the facts first, figure it out later.]

So you're just as new to this place as I am. What kind of questions? Because I have a lot of them and so far I have gotten squat when it comes to answers.

"Just what I am here to fight, and where I may find it. If this 'war' is as exciting as these insects make it sound, I may not even demand compensation for my services."

[Well, nothing financial at least. She would still request payment in the form of glorious songs dedicated to her triumphant victory, some statues, etc.

You know, the little things.]

I like shooting and fighting as much as any normal, sane girl but saying war is exciting would be overdoing it a bit. I always liked one-on-one way more.

[Or a bit more if she had the Will to help, but that doesn't look likely anymore. His loss- or would have been, if she hadn't died. Whatever.]

I know as much about the threat as you probably do, I'm afraid. Big bad evil, no one dares to speak its name, can be anyone he wants to be. I'll find out more eventually, but recognizance takes time.
