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!

[There's no mistaking her Shahrizai features. Ebony black hair, porcelain skin, and startling blue eyes, Favrielle would know them anywhere, even a world away it seems.

She notices those eyes shift down to the scar on her lip, and for the first time in months, she finds it unsettling. Drawing that familiar, hard shell around her, Favrielle merely draws her shoulders back and manages a bare smile.]

Indeed, this is no where that either of us ever expected to be, I imagine. My name is Favrielle nó Eglantine.

[She introduces herself first, knowing that the woman is likely one of the great houses of Terre d'Ange.]

Lady Roshana Shahrizai. [She smiles with amusement at the way the woman seems to wear her pride like a shield. 'Easy pet,' she thinks. 'I've no plans to break it just yet.'

She leans in to bestow a kiss of greeting.] Well met.

[flawedgoods]

[She returns the greeting.]

Well met, my lady.

[And oh, when was the last time she addressed anyone as such? It seems strange to find another D'Angeline in her slice of Keeliai. At the same time, Favrielle can't say that the woman is at all unwelcome. To have another from their country there, however unfortunate, is Favrielle's gain.]

I had not realized another of our people had joined us or I would have greeted you sooner.
