Test Drive Meme | #38


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!

Kit Fisto | Star Wars

6 (with maybe a bit of 1 thrown in)

[Kit Fisto found the assortment of foods, creatures, and other items that this most unusual city had to offer less strange than some might. He'd visited a great many planets in the service of the Jedi order, and each was unique.

This particular fruit stand couldn't help but draw the eye, though. The array of colors and patterns on display there would make many an artist jealous, and the different fruits were arranged so that the various colors contrasted each other making them stand out all the more. He wondered if that was a deliberate act on the part of the vendor or simple serendipity.

Regardless, he found himself stepping up to the stand to examine the wares on display. The vendor was dealing with another customer just then, so he was free to browse at his leisure, assuming he wasn't interrupted.]

No.

[The Jedi's tone was rather flat and brooked no debate, though he had a feeling that the young man wouldn't take the hint.]

My lightsaber is not for sale. Or trade. Nor will it ever be; it is too dangerous for an inexperienced being to use in any case.

[ The young kedan indeed doesn't seem to be taking the hint. Lando, passing by, recognizes the Nautolan as a Jedi, though he's only ever met one Jedi before and heard stories of others. Still, it seems like his particular skills might come in handy here.

He slides in, placing a hand on the Jedi's shoulder. ]


What my friend means to say is, it might be best to start smaller.

[ He reaches into his pockets and pulls out a sabacc card from the deck he keeps on him. Six of Coins. Not the most important card. He can easily part with it, and it seems to satisfy the young kedan. ]

There. Now everyone's happy.

[Kit glances up as the stranger lays a hand on his shoulder. He's never met the man before, though the fact that he produces a sabacc card indicates that they at least seem to share a common universe of origin.

When the young kedan is sent on his way with his prize, Kit turns to the stranger and gives a polite nod.]


Indeed they are. Thank you, Mr. ...?

[Well. This particular fellow is definitely one that he recognized. Obi-Wan could hardly believe it, though he supposed he shouldn't be surprised considering the others who had arrived here after him. But it seems like his friend could use a little bit of help here.]

Now, now, I've told everyone that real lightsabers are only for those who have mastered certain levels of training. I'm more than happy to make you a practice saber instead.

[The Kedan, seemingly recognizing Obi-Wan, looks at him with wide eyes before kicking his feet a bit sheepishly. He then bows respectfully to the both of them before heading on his way. Thus leaving Obi-Wan to turn to his fellow Jedi.]

Master Fisto, you certainly are a sight for sore eyes.

[Kit is similarly surprised to see Obi-Wan, and no less pleased, especially when his friend is able to successfully deflect the young kedan's interest.]

As are you, my friend. If I had known that you were here as well, I would have sought you out earlier. And perhaps been a bit less stern with that young man; I hadn't known anyone was offering lightsaber training to the locals.

[He would have said 'Jedi training' but he hadn't sensed the Force in the young man he'd been speaking to.]
hadthehighground: (It's like this...)

[personal profile] hadthehighground 2016-03-21 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes. Well, things have become quite complicated here. The Force has awakened many in this place and they are slowly developing their abilities.

[It was quite different from what they were used to back home. And was probably why he hasn't sensed anything from the Kedan. His was still too minute.]

I've started something of a school.

[Kit quirks an eyebrow at that.]

I have heard of that happening on rare occasions but never on the kind of scale you seem to be speaking of. Though it is good that they have someone to instruct them.

[A whole crop of untrained Force-wielders could be a potential disaster in the making.]

Kind of impressive to look at, isn't it?

[ Jing had also been eyeing the fruit selection, trying to figure out which might taste like things he was used to. ]

I wonder if "one of everything" might be overkill, in this situation...

Re: 6

[personal profile] dredi_master 2016-03-25 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Kit looked up when he was addressed, smiling slightly in amusement.]

Indeed it is. There are a few things that look similar to fruits from my own galaxy, but I am not certain how any of them would taste.
banditjing: (Default)

Re: 6

[personal profile] banditjing 2016-03-25 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Only one way to find out!

[ Jing tosses a pair of juulan at the shopkeeper and selects one of the fruits. ]

Go ahead, pick one. My treat.
dredi_master: (Default)

Re: 6

[personal profile] dredi_master 2016-03-26 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Kit's large eyes blink once in surprise before he smiles, giving Jing a nod of thanks and selecting one that resembles a muja fruit.]

Thank you, Mr. ...?
banditjing: (▶ bounty is the greatest treasure)

Re: 6

[personal profile] banditjing 2016-03-27 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ The young man grins, waving a dismissive hand. ]

Just Jing, no need for anything so formal. And you're...?

[personal profile] dredi_master 2016-03-29 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Jedi Master Kit Fisto.

[Unlike Jing, Kit is used to formality, but since the young man seems to be more comfortable without it...]

Most would either call me Master Jedi or Master Fisto. But you may call me Kit, if you prefer.
