Test Drive Meme | #35


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!
  1. 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!

  2. Dramatic Chase Sequence!
    You're running away from something! It could be anything, from a rampaging kirin to a gaggle of overly enthusiastic children! 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...?

  3. Where There's A Will, There's A...?
    The Life and Dreaming Planes have been merged, and sometimes what starts out as wishful thinking becomes lured into reality. That slick new motorcycle or pile of kingly treasure you were just daydreaming about? Surprise! It's just appeared in front of you. Though, it may only stay for a short while before it disappears again, so make it count. Hopefully you're not the type to daydream about terrible things befalling people you don't like...

  4. SECRET UNDERCOVER MODE ACTIVATE!
    The three major kedan families all have their own agendas, and you've chosen to entangle yourselves with one (or more!) of them. Are you hoping to shift the balance of power? Gain some favours? Perhaps you're on a mission to bring a criminal to justice, or maybe you just want to get the cream of the crop from the black market. Maybe you haven't been hired by them at all, but are using their name for your own goals... as long as no one discovers the lie!

  5. Wait... you want my what now?!
    The kedan are a curious folk, and the Foreigners are entertainment in conveniently arriving packages, especially when they come along with unique items that the kedan might not have seen before. Maybe it's your cellphone... or maybe it's your knickers! How badly do you want to keep your stuff from some overeager native shapeshifters who want to buy, bribe, or burglarize it right off your person?

  6. Sea prunes, get your sea prunes right here!
    Life in Keeliai can take a little getting used to: the chickens have scales, the cows have feathers, and the fruits come in more colour and pattern combinations than your average tye-dye shirt. Not to mention that meal you just ordered from the food vendor? Has arrived on the plate, and you're pretty sure you just saw it move.

  7. Everybody needs a little darkness...
    The Great Enemy may have been defeated over two years ago, and people are even willing to speak Malicant's name aloud now, but there remains a taint in the city never fully purged. Those who consider Malicant a dark god whose end was unjust are the cultists of Keeliai, and they aren't always so easy to identify as one might think. Sometimes their presence is felt in the growing urge to give into one's darker instincts, especially in such a foreign place...

  8. Illicit substances, anyone?
    Every city has its vices, and Keeliai is no different. Perhaps you actively sought it out, or perhaps an opportunistic dealer saw you as a potential customer needing a free sample, but you're now in possession of a packet of Lucid, an emotion-enhancing drug. Interested in finding out what happens when you crush that colourful crystal and ingest it?

  9. Incoming!
    Tu Vishan's latest landfall stop has brought an unwelcome problem to its residents: enormous, toothy creatures who look more like pterosaurs than most people are comfortable with! With a twenty-foot wingspan, these aren't exactly harmless local wildlife, and they have a nasty habit of swooping down on targets both Foreigner and kedan! How are you going to fend them off, or help someone who might have been injured by the latest dive bombing??

  10. 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? Anything goes!

Dramatic Chase Sequence!

This is how it usually started. He would be going about his business and then something out of the ordinary would happen.

In this instance Obi-Wan was admiring some of the local beasts of burden. Kirin they called them, and one of the Kedan was all too happy to explain their use and the importance of the animals in their culture. So he listened with rapt attention, politely nodding his head when it mattered and stroking his beard thoughtfully when the offer of sale came up.

However, the Jedi Master looked up just as there was a shout of surprise. Something had spooked the animals, knocking a handler into the gate and causing it to fly open.

Oh...

What happened next was nothing short of chaos as the the herd of Kirin poured into the street. Stampeding right in his direction.

Why do these things always happen to him?

Like many of the Kedan around him, Obi-Wan ran. Pushing stunned and surprised Kedan out of the way as he went. It was quite a site really as the robed man dashed through the market, pursued by a panicked mass of deer-like creatures. This was not how he intended to spend his day.

Oh goddammit, not again. Cain wasn't one to really insert himself directly into danger—oh, who was he kidding? This was just up his alley. Much like the foreigner keeping ahead of the pack and trying to get the civilians out of the way, Cain was trying to cut his way through the alleys to make it up front. Wait for it... wait for it...

They were passing by just then and Cain darted out to tackle the foreigner out of the way before the kirin would run up against a wall and either squish the man or carry him off into some deeper part of the city.

"Well," he said after a moment, once the kirin had started circling and rampaging off in other directions — more and more kedan were picking up on the panic and clearing the way before anyone was hurt. "That was fun."
hadthehighground: (Excuse me?)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2016-01-20 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
A wall... oh good.

Obi-Wan focused his sights on the wall as he closed in on it, the Kirin still stampeding behind him. However, just as he began to leap, a body suddenly slammed into him and knocked the Jedi Master flat. His face now in the dirt, he could hear the kirin scramble around and split off in different directions. After a moment, he lifted his face.

"Yes, that it was," his voice laden with sarcasm. "Now if you don't mind..."

He could like to get off the ground now.

[personal profile] insertdadjoke 2016-01-20 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Are you sure, Obi-Wan? There's stuff off the ground. Maybe dangerous stuff.

Cain merely grinned for the comment, then rolled over and shoved himself to his feet. To show his lack of hard feelings, he held a hand out to help the other man up.

"You've got a little something on your face," he said with all the seriousness he could muster. It wasn't very much right now, actually. Sorry.
hadthehighground: (It's like this...)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2016-01-20 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
He's pretty sure he can handle it, thanks. Just like he was handling the situation before you threw yourself on him.

Once the other man gets up, Obi-Wan sat up and looked as the hand was offered to him. Which he accepted and rose to his feet. He then ran a hand across his beard.

"Thank you." Not entirely ungenuine as the guy did try to help him. He then glanced around as Kedan started to come back out of hiding. "Does this sort of thing happen often?"

littlelightofmine: (in this farewell)

[personal profile] littlelightofmine 2016-01-19 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
For one reason or another, Kylo was around, but all previous reasons went out the window when he saw a robed man at the head of a kirin stampede. While the man wasn't familiar to him, the robes definitely were. How could he forget something so similar to what his former Master wore? He leaped into action, drawing his lightsaber and cutting down a cart to reroute the kirin down another street after Obi-Wan had passed.

"That threat's been dealt with," he said, voice deep even without his helmet on. The lightsaber still crackled in a wildly unstable manner in his hand, Kylo not taking any chances with this man. "Now you're going to tell me who you are and why you wear those robes."
hadthehighground: (Orly?)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2016-01-20 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Hearing the hum of a lightsaber and sensing something a bit off, Obi-Wan slowed down to a stop. Turning around to see the broken cart and the kirin stumbling around in confusion as it blocked their path.

The man's sights quickly went to the young man who was responsible for this, a strange red blade in his hand.

In a flash Obi-Wan drew his own saber, the blue blade flaring to life just as the demands were thrown at him.

"It seems I should be asking the same question." Though that had hardly been a question. "I don't believe we've met."
littlelightofmine: (there's no blood)

[personal profile] littlelightofmine 2016-01-20 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
The lightsaber only confirmed his suspicions, especially with the color of the blade. This man had to be a Jedi, albeit one he didn't seem to recognize. It's not like Jedi were all that common back home. He didn't make any move to attack, merely standing his ground as he studied the man in front of him.

"You're a Jedi." It wasn't a response to him, not really, but Kylo didn't really listen to anyone, especially not someone he pegged as a Jedi. "We haven't or we would have recognized each other. Who are you?"
hadthehighground: (Hello there)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2016-01-20 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Very observant," Obi-Wan commented, keeping his ground even though the boy wasn't attacking.

"My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi."

He looked the boy over for a moment. "And you would be a Sith, I take it? Though I do believe your lightsaber is... malfunctioning."

Referring to the sparking that he had observed. He had never seen a more crude and shoddily built lightsaber in his life. The Sith were not this sloppy in his experience, thus the question in his voice.

A stampede was impossible to miss on what had been an overall quiet survey of the city. Hearing it coming a mile away wasn't the hard part, neither was weaving through the fleeing through the masses towards the herd. The teenager running next to Obi-Wan was safely replaced by one Anakin Skywalker, who was facing a harder trial than his friend.

"Why am I not surprised to find you at the heart of this." Not a question. An excellent thing that he was here to pull him out of yet another fire.

"A right up ahead." Said as he joined Obi-Wan in clearing out innocent bystanders. "There's a clearing we can use to circle the herd in on itself."

That difficulty Anakin was facing? Trying so hard to not smile at Obi-Wan as he spoke.

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2016-01-20 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Hearing a familiar voice to his side, Obi-Wan glanced over and then did a double-take.

"Anakin?!" He said in surprise while not ceasing in his run.

To say this was startling was an underestatement considering the last time he'd seen his former apprentice... Well it hadn't been pretty. But Anakin was very much there and still had two legs, running beside him. He heard how this place brought people from different times. So for now, especially considering the circumstances, he just went with the flow.

"Right... Of course."

And took a right he did, running the length of the alley until they came upon the clearing, breaking away from Anakin to run around the perimeter to the left. The Kirin herd following behind him.
Edited 2016-01-20 23:48 (UTC)

[personal profile] fiercesensitive 2016-01-21 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
He merely gave a patronizing look laced with amusement at the surprised exclamation. Maybe the new world left him out of sorts. Luckily, Anakin saw this a good opportunity to get them both back on track to their main objective: rescue the chancellor, and take down Dooku along with Grievous if at all possible.

"Run them into a tight circle, then they'll have to stop." Seeing his former master keeping ahead of them wasn't the sight he was expecting to see today, but there was no way he'd ever forget this one.

Anakin kept to the side, making sure no strays broke away to cause more chaos and mess up their plan.

"I hope they don't charge you for all of them. The council will want to speak to you privately over the amount I'd wager."
hadthehighground: (Oh my)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2016-01-22 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Me? This was hardly my fault!"

Meanwhile Obi-Wan just kept running, leading the herd in a circle about the clearing until they reached the point where they had come from. With a quick wave of his hand, several crates tumbled into the mouth of the alley, effectively blocking off the route.

With that done, the Jedi Master leaped to safety upon the crates. The kirin now neatly corraled as the beasts circled in on themselves and finally stopped their mad flight.

Obi-Wan always had a knack for getting into trouble, just as much as Anakin had one for getting him out of it. At least that is what the young Jedi Knight would say if asked for his opinion on the matter.

Anakin originally positioned himself on a small building ledge to get a better viewpoint without risk of being trampled. It was then he saw it. Or whom rather.

Using his mechanical arm to maintain a forceful grip, he waited until Obi-Wan was near enough to make his move. Swinging down, he snatched the Jedi Master with his free arm to try and pull him up to the safety of the ledge.

"This makes eleven."
hadthehighground: (Upward)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2016-01-25 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Obi-Wan never did like flying either. So imagine his surprise when something, or rather someone, suddenly grabbed him and pulled him into the air.

There was a split second of shock and then the Jedi master was hurriedly grabbing whatever had grabbed him so that he wouldn't fall.

"What in the-Anakin?!"

The Jedi Master is simply too stunned by this sudden turn of events to dispute Anakin's rescue count.
ignitethestars: (anakin9829782)

[personal profile] ignitethestars 2016-01-26 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Who else pops up out of nowhere in order to rescue you, Master?"

Anakin couldn't suppress the smirk threatening to sneak across his lips. So he did what any person would do in his situation, he turned his face away and focused on pulling the both of them to a more secure location.

Namely on top of the building where they'd get a better visage of the chaos below.
hadthehighground: (Excuse me?)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2016-01-27 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Who else indeed. Yet considering the last words he'd heard from Anakin was 'I hate you' before watching him burn alive... Well, let's just say Obi-Wan is a bit shaken.

Once there's something under his feet, the Jedi Master quickly steps back and looks Anakin up and down for a moment. He was definitely not burned, and still had his legs.

ten_zero: (Frost squall)

[personal profile] ten_zero 2016-01-25 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
Wearing a warframe wasn't like wearing a suit; there was something more to it, something indiscernible. Many people talk about how their cars might have a personality, but there was something more when piloting a warframe. It had a presence. Through transference, Bisi didn't control Frost, she communed with it.

It was amazing to be strong, to be big, to be whole again. Bisi was never fully comfortable except when she was comfortably tucked inside a warframe. And it was refreshing to suddenly see chaos break out. Peace rested uncomfortably on her shoulders; her place was to guard, to protect, to defend. Her warframe jumped into action, sweeping into the street in front of the deer and started to channel her power through it. Frost converted her raw void power into icey energy, which he released in a massive ephemeral globe that enveloped the street. Kirin that swept through the border were immediately slowed, as if running through a time rift. Snow and ice collected on their skin until they found themselves completely encased in ice.
hadthehighground: (Upward)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2016-01-26 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Obi-Wan had kept running until he heard some strange sounds behind him. Chancing a glance behind him, he skidded to a sudden stop as he some sort of ... droid? No, he could sense life in it. Someone inside a machine? Either way, they were now shooting at and freezing the kirin.

That... was definitely a thing.

The Jedi master could only stare in perplexed amazement as the beasts were frozen in their tracks. Quite literally.
ten_zero: (Frost Stand)

[personal profile] ten_zero 2016-01-26 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
The frost wouldn't hold for very long, and Bisi wasn't sure exactly what to do with them without hurting them.

Perhaps Frost's hesitation at this point was obvious to others?
hadthehighground: (Hooded Jedi)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2016-01-26 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Sensing the doubt and hesitation, Obi-Wan moved forward and reached his hand out towards the animals. If the ice didn't hold then perhaps he could calm them before they came out of it.

Focusing intensely on the Kirin, the Jedi Master used the Force to influence their minds.

Let's make this a party

[personal profile] livingforce 2016-01-27 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
An arm appeared out of a doorway and Obi-Wan was ungracefully pulled out of the way of the stampeding herd. Qui-Gon noted the beard and the other changes in his apparently greatly aged padawan, but turned his attention back to the herd, watching as they thundered past and away down the street. He was ready to leave the safety of the doorway the moment it seemed another pedestrian was in danger.

The herd passed, and as far as he could sense, there were no serious injuries. Satisfied, he turned back to Obi-Wan and studied him properly.

"I suppose you'll tell me this had nothing to do with you?"
hadthehighground: (Upward)

SCREAM

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2016-01-28 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
He was doing perfectly fine running from a flock of panicked beasts. But then someone grabbed him and pulled him into a building. A bit startled, Obi-Wan stumbled for a moment.

"What in the-" and his words trailed off there as he saw and felt something very familiar, or rather someone. Someone who had long since passed from his perspective. For a moment he could only stare in shock while Qui-Gon continued to monitor the stampede until it had passed.

And the only thing Obi-Wan could think to say at that very moment...

"Well it didn't."

Totally an innocent bystander here.

The changes in his padawan are not subtle. The beard aside, Obi-Wan is a man now, not the boy Qui-Gon knows. He wears the robes of a Jedi Master well, Qui-Gon notes. He's proud of that.

"A complete coincidence, then?" It's perhaps the wrong tone to take with another Master, but Qui-Gon cares little for propriety. It's a pleasure to see a (more or less) familiar face here. The sounds of the Kirin herd are dying away, and other bystanders are cautiously checking to make sure the coast is clear.
hadthehighground: (Deep in thought)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2016-01-28 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Qui-Gon on the other hand looks exactly as Obi-Wan remembered him. Though he was fairly certain this was not what Master Yoda had in mind when mentioning further training from his old master. Instead of a spirit, he was here... in the flesh.

Obi-Wan nodded, a hand covering his mouth as he stepped away to pace for a moment and then came back. A bit shaken by this sudden turn of events and needing a moment to regather himself.

"Master I..." but he stopped himself and redirected his question. "I was told that people are brought here from not only different places, but different times. If I may ask... what is the last thing you remember?"
