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 uncontrollable urge to polish every paving stone in the Earth Sector? Anything goes!

[Zuko had just been minding his own business in the marketplace, selling his latest catches and kills from one of his hunting excursions. However, he looks up with several other Kedan as a commotion is coming their way.

For a moment, Zuko can only stare at what he sees.]


Uncle?!

Zuko! Would you mind helping your uncle for a bit?

[Iroh would like to say hello to his nephew and chat, but Iroh would also like to not have a horned creature chasing him first.]
lordhotman: (glare of doom)

[Zuko blinks and assess the situation as his Uncle and the Kirin and the farmer streak by. He then whips out a boomerang, yes a boomerang, and tosses it. The weapon flies through the air and slices right through the bindings that connect the Kirin to its cart. The sudden release causes the Kirin to trip and tumble, effectively bringing the chase to a halt.

Zuko then runs over just in time to catch the red boomerang in his hand again. Ignoring the farmer as he frets over his animal. Instead going to his uncle. Oh and that sure is a small pair of wings on his back.]


Uncle! Are you alright?

[Iroh had nearly tripped when he realized he didn't need to run any more. Now he has a better chance of taking in his surroundings. Including the fact his nephew had used what looked like a Water Tribe boomerang, and that he had wings.]

Yes. Just let me catch my breath. I hadn't expected to come back here.

[He's pretty sure he left and returned, but he can't tell how long he's been away. Days... months... years maybe. Surely not years again.]
lordhotman: (huh?)

[personal profile] lordhotman 2016-03-18 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes it was definitely a red colored water tribe boomerang. Though that wasn't the only thing Water Tribe about Zuko. There's also a Water Tribe style bone and bear claw necklace around his neck.]

Come back? You've been here before?

[Yeah this is definitely not the Zuko he had been here with last.]
whitelotustile: (worried)

[personal profile] whitelotustile 2016-03-20 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, and you were with me. Though you did go home for some time in between...

Sometimes people come back without any memory of having come here. Though coming back with wings is a new one.
lordhotman: (worried)

[personal profile] lordhotman 2016-03-20 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know.

[He's already encountered people he didn't know who said they knew him. But that happened when he arrived in Luceti too, so he was kind of used to it. ... Oh yeah, the wings.]

It's a long story. Maybe we should talk about it over tea.
whitelotustile: (happy)

[personal profile] whitelotustile 2016-03-20 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It's good to see that you haven't forgotten the important things!

I can try to find a place, but my knowledge might be a bit out of date. I'm not sure how long I was gone from here.
lordhotman: (sorta smiling)

[personal profile] lordhotman 2016-03-24 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[At that, Zuko smiled. He wouldn't ever forget the things you taught him, Uncle.]

I know a place. There's a house I'm staying in.

[And he'll lead the way there. Iroh will come to find that it's ironically the same house that the last Zuko stayed in too.]
whitelotustile: (Default)

[personal profile] whitelotustile 2016-03-24 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[A fact Iroh notes with a thoughtful hmm. Good to see Zuko's tastes are consistent.]

This is your house?
lordhotman: ([search] talking azula)

[personal profile] lordhotman 2016-03-25 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, someone told me I used to live here.

[He just shrugged at it.]

It's small but it's nice.
