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!

"Why are you here?"

That wasn't exactly an odd question, but the following did register as quite odd and she paused in her approach, crossing her arms to prevent reaching for her blade on instinct.

"Hell if I know. I can't actually possess people, that would be a demonic power and I'm not sure a demon would care if you were a mage or not." She eyed the rather large sword. "Does your sword have a name?"

That was... unhelpful.

For all of Fenris's unfortunate experience with magic and demons, particularly after meeting Hawke, he didn't know how often demons were straightforward about what they were, and how often they continued a charade without a reason. Both were equally possible, he supposed. He'd been caught out once by a demon knowing full-well what it was.

"If it does, I don't know it," he answered. "If I'm to believe you're not a demon, how do you explain that?"

He nodded towards the six bottles of Tevinter wine, as though he could possibly be referring to anything else.

"That's unfortunate," she replied, "Every pretty sword should have a name."

She glanced at the wine bottles that the tall stranger indicated, then looked back at him and shrugged.

"The wine," She smiled sheepishly, not entirely certain why wine bottles led the man to believe she was a demon, "is there something special about it?"
handonheart: (see that line you're crossing it)

"It appeared out of nowhere," said Fenris. He hadn't relaxed the grip on his sword, but he also hadn't taken a threatening step toward her yet. "Right before you did. If you truly aren't a demon, what are you doing here? I thought only demons populated the Fade."

He knew only demons populated the Fade. If she wasn't a demon, then she was a trapped mage, and that was hardly any better.

Then again, no matter what she was, it didn't explain the throngs of people surrounding them. Nor did it explain how tangible and real everything felt.

"I assure you, sir," Valdis said, arching a brow, "I did not appear out of nowhere, and I am most certainly not a demon."

In fact, she was somewhat offended that he would suggest such a thing. This Fade thing though, it sounded similar to the Dreaming if things randomly appeared there, minus the demons. She gestured to the bottles with one hand, keeping her body language neutral.

"May I?"

Ser. Even after six years of living in Hightown, 'Ser Fenris' rang hollow. It was a title used by humans who didn't know him, people who believed he was afforded respect simply for living in Hightown. That used to irritate him, what with Darktown right beneath their feet; now, the use of the word strikes him only for the idea that a demon might be using it.

"By all means," Fenris answers, lowering the sword slightly. He didn't know what it would prove, but at least some small portion of the wine wouldn't go to waste.

Now that she had his permission, she took a few final steps to the table and gently lifted a bottle, holding it in both hands and examining the label. The label suggested that it was from a place called Tevinter and, as she had not heard of such a place, along with the fact that this wine had caused the newcomer such distress, she suspected that this was the reason he believed he was in this Fade place. She turned the bottle around, observing the crude labeling, the lack of detail. It certainly wasn't like any label on her world.

"I take it you dislike this kind of wine?"
