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:

1. Comment with the journal of a character you want to test; put their name and canon in the subject line for added sparkles.
2. Tag around with everyone!
3. Profit like you live on a 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. A Chance Meeting at the Turtle's Head.
   Remember, being here causes a great sense of-- well, shall we say inner peace.
2. 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 turtleshell!
3. Hey, I Just Met You, and This is Crazy...
   First impressions are always the most important, right?
4. 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? Please note, Wildcard options are also what you can choose to do if you aren't yet comfortable in the Tu Shanshu setting and would prefer a more 'dear-mun' esque experience. Please specify in your post!

This marks the official start of the monthly test drive meme and, to celebrate, we're giving a new feature a shot. The first comment/thread on this test drive is going to be titled ENABLE ME and it's where you post character accounts/muselists, etc and others (members, passerbys, shoulder demons) can enable you to apply to Tu Shanshu! Come, let us enable you to the turtletastic madness!

tell me about it

[looksfine]

I would be very interested in meeting this individual, yes.

[imaginate]

Soon. Have you got the lay of land or do you want me to show you around?

[looksfine]

So far, I have been able to assess approximately 43% of the Sector we are currently located in. I believe its designation is...Metal? Is that correct?

[Information was significantly more difficult to acquire here than what she was used to.]

[imaginate]

Yeah. The others are Water, Wood, Earth, and Fire. I have a couple of maps, you can scan and upload.

[looksfine]

There is a Sector designated to your home world? Or do you refer to the elemental property also known as dirt, soil, and ground, among other similar titles?

[imaginate]

The latter.

[looksfine]

A most interesting pattern. What is the significance of these assigned designations?

[imaginate]

I think they might be the five elements in the local culture, but otherwise, I have no idea.

[looksfine]

So they are more symbolic in nature than significant.

[This is the interpretation she takes away from Kyle's lack of 'idea']

I would be most interested in witnessing the native culture first hand. Thus far, it has proven oddly unique in comparison to many of the worlds I have already traveled.

and then they had all the kooky adventures.

[imaginate]

Oh, you have no idea. Wait til you see what's around here. [Excitedly, he starts to briskwalk.]

Hal would both be proud and disapprove KYLE DON'T CORRUPT THE BB

[looksfine]

[She follows]

I am making visual contact with much of the architecture and natural landscape as we speak.

TOO LATE

[imaginate]

You might want to turn off the scanners for this and just look.

SOB

[looksfine]

I am looking.

VICTORY

[imaginate]

C'mon. I know a great place to start.

[Never mind that he is a ranking officer acting like a ten year old in a candy shop.]

[looksfine]

[His behavior carries many parallels to Hal Jordan in that sense. Though with a slightly more youthful nature behind it. She is mostly unfazed, eager to learn as much of this strange world as she can before she returns home.]

I will be sure to record everything so that I may report back to the crew as accurately as possible. I am certain they will wish to hear of this place.
