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!
4. 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!

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 turtle shell!
3. 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.
4. 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...?
5. Darker Days
   Malicant's flexing his chaos muscle and causing havoc on the shell! You could run into some evil cultists in a dark alley, try to infiltrate the possessed palace, or work on hacking the console function back from the technopathic baddie.
6. 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!

Test Drive!

[pragmatists]

[Giant turtle is pretty high on the list of 'weirdest places Gwen Tennyson has visited.' It's not at the top of the list, which says a lot about her summer so far. Right now, there's nothing to do but keep a cool head and get her bearings. Right now, she's in the bustling market district in Earth sector-- trying to get some information from the take-no-nonsense kedan shopkeepers.]

I'm looking for a boy about this tall, green eyes. Or an older man in a Hawaiian shirt. Have you seen them?

[The kedan shopkeeper looks at her strangely.]

Sorry, kiddo, I ain't a people-finding service. You Foreigners all look the same to me anyway.

[Gwen sighs.] Yeah, thanks anyway.

The Null Void is probably the least pleasant place Darkstar has ever been. The back of a turtle is a pretty odd place as well, though. However, what was good about it was the wide variety of mana available from the various residents. There was one signature in particular that caught his attention.

It was an Anodite spark...small, still growing and very familiar. It was like someone was baking brownies and he could smell it.

Darkstar trailed the "scent" to a sector dedicated to Earth and a strange little girl was asking around the shop keepers. An orange haired, green eyed little girl with an Anodite spark.

The familiarity finally made sense.

What kind of place was this?

The Gwen Tennyson he knows is at least five years older than this one. Still...that would mean she theoretically would not know him.

He walks up behind her and puts a gauntleted hand on her shoulder.

"Looking for someone, Little Lovely?"

[pragmatists]

Feeling a gauntleted hand on her shoulder immediately makes her mind jump to 'it's the Forever Knights.' But when she turns around, she finds that the armor isn't right to be a Forever Knight. There is absolutely no recognition in her expression.

Maybe he could help. Even if a small part of her feels uneasy. It must be the armor.

"Some friends of mine. An older man with a pink Hawaiian shirt and a boy about this tall--" she holds her hand up to a spot about an inch shy of the top of her head "-- with green eyes. Have you seen anyone like that?"
