Test Drive Meme | #47


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. Let's play cops and robbers!
    Local law enforcement is handled by the Keeliai Police Department, an organization of both Foreigners and kedan dedicated to keeping the peace in the turtle... and they're about to make a raid on a large, illegal gambling ring! Are you going to collar the nearest bad guy, or are you one of the high rollers now looking to make a quick escape? Or a bookie who's now getting booked downtown?

  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??

    (Please note: This scenario isn't applicable to becoming game canon if you choose to app your character, as an alien pterosaur attack is a major event.)

  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!

"It would take far more than a bite to turn you, young lady, and I wouldn't consent to turn you in the first place," Devin returns easily. "If I did for some heinous reason, you wouldn't be capable of walking in the sunlight to sparkle."

Daywalker was beyond rare, as a trait.

"I prefer not to bite people at all, as it happens. Sometimes options are limited." Like now. He's not about to admit that this whole situation makes him extremely uncomfortable. "Healer's may not take kindly to my presence, but the suggestion is appreciated. Where is the Guild located?"

"Neat. 'Cause I'm not too keen." There's an amused glint in her eye. "You could say I'm sort of a werewolf. Besides, you wouldn't want to eat me, I'm all tough and gamy."

She grins. "Psh, they get all sorts here. Water Sector. Come on, I'll walk with you. Y'know, never met an actual blood-drinking vampire before. Just the energy kind. And they suuuuuck." She snickers.
annihilist: (I'm just that good)

[personal profile] annihilist 2016-12-04 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"Rest assured I have no interest in eating you, or anyone else, regardless of species or subspecies. What do you mean by 'sort of' a werewolf? Is that not an all or nothing transition where you come from?" he wants to know.

There is the slightest of eye rolls at the pun, but he almost smiles. "They all do," he agrees. "If I have my way, there won't be any of us left before long. In the meantime, I suppose you'll have to put up with me."

"Uh...I'm self-taught, actually," she says with a sly grin. "And it's only an alleged wolf." Yes, she's being cryptic on purpose. Feel free to smack her on the back of the head.

But at that interesting little tidbit, she stops for a moment, then rushes to catch up. "Oho! So you're a vampire who hunts vampires. You're like the guy from Hellsing. Neat."
annihilist: (From darkness)

[personal profile] annihilist 2016-12-04 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
That makes very little in the way of sense. Cryptic tended to mean interesting, however. "You're quite odd," he remarks.

Devin glances down at her when she expresses interest, and makes a sound just shy of a snort. "There's nothing neat about it. It simply needs doing," he scoffs. "We're predators. We don't belong."

"I get that a lot," Aly says, her tone dry.

She shakes her head at his assertion, the bone pin in her hair keeping it from moving too much. "Sorry, we part moral company there. Predators are necessary for a healthy ecosystem. Granted, I'm right there with you on the badass vampire-hunting, but that rationale seems flawed." She tucks her hands into the pocket of her hoodie. "When deer hunting's outlawed, f'rex, the deer overrun everything, drive out animals lower on the food chain. But I wouldn't call the vampires who prey indiscriminately predators. More parasites.

"And fuck parasites."
annihilist: (Not happy)

[personal profile] annihilist 2016-12-05 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Parasites, then. We improve nothing, make no ecosystem healthy. We certainly don't balance human populations. We destroy and corrupt and do very little else," Devin returns, bitterness at the edge of his tone. "Our existence is quite literally the product of demonic activity, so arguing the semantics of our ecological role is somewhat pointless. Humans have enough problems to deal with."
wolfishflame: (Nonplussed // hollow_art)

[personal profile] wolfishflame 2016-12-05 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Demons?" Aly raises her eyebrow. "Tell. And to be honest and frank, there are some people who could do with a good picking-off."

Bloodthirsty little bean.
annihilist: (Off into the distance)

[personal profile] annihilist 2016-12-05 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Demons," Devin confirms with a nod. "Our souls belong to Hell - all religion aside, it's just one name of many for the place. But we were created to antagonize all things belonging to the light. The more humans turned, the more souls Hell gets power over, the larger their presence among the living. It's a problem."
wolfishflame: (Stare // hollow_art)

[personal profile] wolfishflame 2016-12-15 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Hm." She examines her fingernails, as though the information wasn't particularly interesting, though the smile on her face would seem to indicate otherwise. "So it's kind of a numbers game. 'Coffee is for closers'."
annihilist: (Considering)

[personal profile] annihilist 2016-12-20 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Something like that. Actual population counts for vampires aren't very accurate, for obvious reasons, but one of us is too many. My species has a bad habit of playing with their food."

Devin isn't quite certain what to make of this young woman, but she's not treating him like a pariah, which he appreciates. Normal conversation isn't something he gets all that often (if this could be called normal), and even though she's perhaps a tenth his age, he'd be willing to talk with her more and on other subjects, assuming he's to be stuck here for long enough that his usual rules about social interaction won't apply well.
