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!

are there any completely nonviolent Underwood combos tho

[ he rubs his scruffy chin, making a big show out of hmm-ing thoughtfully ]

...Batman. Your mentor's name is Batman, and you're Robin. Sounds like you've got your creative differences. I thought duos were still all about the matchy-matchy stuff.

well, NO, but in most one of them doesn't beat up the other until survival is questionable?

[ Marshal, what did you just. ]

[ Robin stares at the man below him for a moment, then a sound comes out of him that he's never honestly and fully meant to make since he was barely more than a toddler. ]

[ Damian Wayne laughs. ]

[ Because Batman had been Father, and Grayson had become Robin, and the two monikers completely fit them. They had been right, one darkness, the other light, one moving silently, fearsomely, in the night, the other bright and loud and brilliantly brave. So different, and, yet, such a good team. ]

[ And now? Now Grayson is Batman, and Damian himself is Robin, and everything is reversed. Batman smiles. Robin scowls. Batman is teaching, still, Robin how to make quips. Robin is the responsible adult, especially when Pennyworth is missing. All in all? Yeah. One could talk a lot about creative differences. ]

[ When he catches his breath, Damian rolls his shoulders. ]

You don't know the half of it.

Anyway. Something's going down that way where you'd be in the way. If you want trouble of your own, you can try that way, [ Robin points out a different alley, ] you probably won't be disappointed. And, no, the people down here won't get away with it, either.
