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!

Should she care to, John's soul was still the property of Hell. He'd damned an innocent to Hell and that was unforgivable. Yet sigils and wards wove within that, trying to change it from second to second. Nothing about John Constantine was ever clear. Where was the fun in that?

While some men might have been taken in by her manner, by her beauty, John was not. Not yet anyway. He'd bedded a succubus and sometimes it was hard to compare. In his experience, a pretty face often meant a deadly creature behind it.

"Queen of dogs, eh?"

So he hadn't been too off with the bitch comment, but he wasn't about to bring that back up. It wasn't out of fear but more that he saw no reason to poke that hound with a pointed stick any further.

"John Constantine. Can't claim I have some fancy title. Just me."

Though being compared to a dog was almost as insulting as being compared to a demon, she kept the edge from her voice.

"Dogs," she replied, arching a brow, "Are pets who rely on humans. Hounds are self sufficient."

She didn't expect most people to distinguish between the two, but nonetheless, there were many differences between pet dogs and Hellhounds. For instance, most pet dogs couldn't kill you by tearing out your soul.

"It's a pleasure, Sir Constantine," she continued, putting on a smile, "How are you liking Keeliai? I trust the Hotel is meeting your needs?"

"Huh. Thought hounds were just for running through the woods and scaring the piss out of a fox. Least that's all I'd seen them do," he replied with a shrug. Hounds, dogs and canines in general weren't one of John's favorite things when one turned into a person.

"You clean up well and might be one of the prettiest birds I've seen in fur."

He sat up from his slouch, setting aside the papers in his lap to pour himself another cup of 'tea' from his pot. His dark eyes turned up to her as he picked up the cup and took a deep drink. Humans would catch the bite of whisky in the air, but John had to wonder if she would. Or what she was fully. Queen, well, he wasn't quite sure about that.

"There's no 'sir' to it. Liking it fine so far much anyone can be on the back of a giant turtle. Out of all the outcomes, I didn't see this one coming. So what do we do for fun on the back of a turtle? Thought I should ask."

A grin followed that, every bit as rakish as he could be.

Valdis wasn't used to people speaking to her with such blatant disrespect, but in this particular case, she was far more amused than anything else. The sharp scent of whisky caused her sensitive nose to crinkle in dislike. It wasn't that she was offended by whisky, it was more that the man was disrespecting Anton's rules.

"Flatterer," she replied with a short laugh, "I don't believe any of us expected to end up on the back of a giant turtle, but we find ways to entertain ourselves. Though it might depend on your definition of fun." Some things she found fun would not match the definition of most people, such as irritating Yunxu.

She sighed lightly, "A few months ago we had a masquerade ball. There are occasional events that can be enjoyable. There is a landfall coming up, that should be interesting."
