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!

...Well, that was new. Devin was completely unaccustomed to this kind of magic, but he showed no sign of fear or worry. Rather than run immediately, however, he tapped one of the artifacts with interest.

Crosses had never given him cause for bother. "Fascinating," he murmured.

Valdis putting herself between them is yet another unexpected move; he's not worth anyone getting hurt for. "I've no quarrel with you," Devin called, still keeping his posture relaxed and open. "And it seems we share a common hatred for my species."

While the shape of the cross wouldn't do anything to him, Klaus's blood was very dangerous if it entered a vampire's system. Devin may have found that even touching it would cause a tingling or stinging sensation.

Whatever mental ledge Klaus had been teetering on, Anton's name yanked him back. At least enough so that he stopped in his tracks, still poised to strike at any moment.

This was definitely not the man Valdis had sparred with - Klaus here was a man at the end of a frayed rope, and he looked ready to tear Devin to shreds.

He didn't say a word - he reigned in the cold fury enough to allow Devin to speak his piece.

Valdis almost didn't recognize Klaus, he was so filled with anger, stronger than she had felt in a very long time from any source. In fact, part of her feared facing off against that fury. Fury like that meant someone was going to die. But Klaus paused at the sound of Anton's name and while Valdis didn't lower her guard, the red in her eyes faded.

"Anton's rule still stands, right?" She asked, lowering her sword and trying to relax, "He hasn't hurt anyone, he's not fighting you...and you've gone and made a mess in the kitchen."

She shook her head, "Do you think I'd have brought him here if he was going to be a problem?"

There was clearly more to the crosses than barriers, and Devin rubbed the tips of his fingers for a moment. Odd; certainly worth further investigation, assuming he made it through this with his head still attached to the rest of him.

Something about Anton was important, clearly, and important enough to stop Klaus in the middle of his rampage. He had to admit that was impressive.

Devin kept his hands up still, and his volume low as he spoke. "It was not my intention to make you feel threatened," he began slowly. "Or to surprise you. Clearly you've encountered my kind before, and I don't blame you for the use of violence. It's nothing I don't deserve, and in point of fact I hunt my kind where I come from. But I'm here to ensure I don't harm anyone. If you need me to leave, I will; if you insist on continuing this fight, let us at least go where no bystanders or property will be damaged, and you can take out your anger on me there if so desired."

He'd fight back, of course, but he'd do his best not to kill Klaus if it came to that.

"Anton's rule still stands," He repeated, his voice barely a whisper.

He stood a bit straighter, his eyes fixed on Devin as though waiting for him to make a sudden move.

Valdis was right, after all. But Valdis being right wasn't going to just crush something so ingrained in Klaus's psyche. As far as Klaus was concerned, the closest thing to a 'good' vampire was that there were some that didn't play with their food first.

"I acted rashly - my apologies," he said, the usual warmth and kindness in his tone utterly gone.

"The hotel is neutral ground, Blood Breed. But if you lay a hand on anyone here, I will seal you."

Valdis closed her eyes, taking a deep breath before sheathing her sword. She walked over to Klaus, holding out her hand to lay it on his arm. Her touch gentle as she reached out to cover his other hand with hers.

"I'm sorry, Klaus," she said, "I didn't realize it was so bad."

Her voice trembled, whether from her emotions or his, she didn't know, but it sounded weird to her. Klaus was massive and he hadn't felt like him in those last few moments.

"I'll see him out of the hotel, I promise." After she had fed him, but she was definitely not going to tell Klaus that. The man might lose it again.

"If I did harm anyone, as I've already told your friend Valdis here, I'd deserve any punishment you saw fit to mete out," Devin said evenly, lowering his hands but keeping them visible. "Your apology is unnecessary, as is the threat. I've been subject to the brutality of my species, too. Repeatedly, and long before I learned to defend myself."

He wasn't after sympathy, but he knew it was difficult to believe that he killed his own. Regardless, he was still a monster, even if he hunted other monsters.

"I'd offer you proof if I thought you'd believe me, but I can see I've overstayed my welcome before it got started," he added lightly.
