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 has been bothering me for weeks, not gonna lie.

Ruby Lucas | Once Upon A Time

[overeasy]

[Hi it's Mari and people should app OUAT characters with me 8U!!]

03

[stitchzilla]

[Left shoes are disappearing all over Keeliai, with naught but maniacal laughter echoing as a calling card in his wake. Stitch is fresh to the turtle and his wires got a bit crossed, resetting his programming to its most dastardly tendencies.

Which is why he scampers onto her foot with every intent to take it and scuttle off into the night.]

Hee-hee-hee-heeeee!

Dick Grayson / Nightwing • DCnU

Jim Kirk | Star Trek XI

And by leader I mean women.]

[If there's one thing that Ruby knows how to do, it's how to get a deal on food. She hasn't worked so many years in Granny's diner, watching the old woman do her thing, to not pick up how to haggle over prices for food.

And with rationing in effect, haggling is important. Determined to make ever juulan last, and all while making the kedan not feel as if they're cheated, Ruby uses a combination of sweet talk and logic to try and get them to drop their price just a bit more.]

Just one juulan less and you'll have a deal and repeat business...

Midii Une ⟡ Gundam Wing: Episode Zero

[unetrustworthy]

[demon_brat]

[Oh... wonderful. More children that the Emperor has brought it. Grump to that aside, Damian's voice is almost gentle.]

Hi. New here?

Melanie Walker ⟡ Batman Beyond

[tenofhearts]

[futurebatwoman]

[ So this place was about as opposite from Gotham as it could get, and Max was still somewhere in her first walk through of the place when she bumped into Melanie and apologized, backing up. ]

Sorry, I really wasn't looking where I was going. Kept looking for skyscrapers.

Booker Dewitt | Bioshock Infinite

[pinkerton]

( I'll keep spoilers to a min. or none at all, unless otherwise stated! )

Ermillina 'Snow White' Curtana | The Princess series

[scintillates]

[Hey it's a 22 year old in a 36 year old woman's body and she's still smoking hot.

And also a sorceress with mirror and singing magic. Come at me broskis]

Re: Ermillina 'Snow White' Curtana | The Princess series

[gathersnomoss]

[someone is ordering ahead of you at the local cafe]

... and that should be it.

Billy Batson/Captain Marvel | DCU

[mightymortal]

[ Can be Billy-form or Captain Marvel-form, whichever you'd like! ]

forgive the lack of appropriate icons sob

[punliners]

[... No way. It's Captain Marvel.

Excuse him he's staring. Which is probably a really weird thing to see from a Bat.]

--Hi.

[HE IS THE MOST SCHWAY.]

Sally Malik | Being Human

[reapercussion]

[So tell me, Tu Vishan, how much do you like former zombies? :3c]

jamie madrox ( marvel 616 )

[sonoir]

Revan | Knights of the Old Republic

[unifying]

Max Gibson | Batman Beyond

[futurebatwoman]

[punliners]

[Being the Bat for as long as he has has severely suspended Terry's ability to be surprised by anything. Evil molten lava monsters Sure thing. Genetically altered superhumans who can rip steel in their bare hands? No big. Aliens? So last week.

But he sees Max, and he can't help it. His jaw does't quite it the floor but it definitely drops.]

Well, look what the bat dragged in.

[Hey, they're alone. He can pun.]

Chromedome || Transformers IDW

[lowyield]

02?!

[onefouroneseven]

[ Soranik normally avoids the marketplace for several reasons, preferring to make up a list and have Jack bring it to her. But some days there's no helping it and she arrives armed with a list of items (or a construct of a list of items, but details). ]

They overcharge.

[ Said to the other (giant robot? Soranik had to admit that that was unusual here, too used to being lumped in the 'obviously not human' category since her arrival) foreigner who'd been examining goods at a stall. Sora'd made the same mistake herself her first week here and had been kicking herself for it since. ]

Hannibal Lecter | Hannibal (2013)

[bindsthedead]

[Even with the rationing, Sabriel still tries to find decent food to eat, which generally means haggling. She's starting to get exasperated with one of the shopkeepers, though. She holds up some sort of small melon, looking over it carefully]

No! Five juulan is too much, this is only worth two! It isn't nearly as big as the other ones.

Joy Stratford | Original

[bottlefairy]

[Younger version! 24, alcoholic, werewolf, cage fighter, incredibly angry and belligerent, not that bright, hates life, very very secret sweet side. Basically: tsundere on steroids. Who can kick your ass like blinking. Take one of these prompts or give me something else, it's all good!]

4
[So, Joy doesn't know where the hell she is or what the hell is going on, so the first order of business? Find a bar. She's three shots in already, now moodily sipping a vodka and sprite, or the closest available equivalent, and watching her fellow bar patrons. She's starting to feel like she wants a fight, who will be the lucky winner?]

3
Excuse the fuck outta you. Watch where you're going, asswipe. [Did you even bump into her, or were you just passing within three feet and she decided to be offended? Either is possible!]

Re: Joy Stratford | Original

[fearlessherosheart]

[Well, the good news is that she's unarmed. The bad news is she's still two feet taller than you and obviously a fighter]

Excuse yourself. Are you seeking a fight?

Joy Stratford | Original

[bottlefairy]

[Older version! 33, functioning alcoholic, werewolf, married mother of two, holds a political position where she basically tells the packs what to do which means she bosses around alphas, still not that bright, very no-nonsense, can still rip you to shreds and be home in time to make lunch. Again, take a prompt or give me something else!]

4
So my family doesn't know I'm missing. Right? I mean, my kids are frozen in time or whatever and when I get back it'll be like nothing happened. [Hello you've been drafted for noob duty. She needs to make VERY SURE of this one though; she has a seven-year-old and a four-year-old she already misses like burning, not to mention their father. She needs to be as sure as possible that they'll be okay without her.]

1
[If there's anyone on the planet who needed peace, it's this girl. So she's here, looking over the water and thinking about her kids. All the magical tranquilizers in the world aren't going to make her happy, so she's still got that perpetual frown, but she at least doesn't look likely to kill anyone. That's positive, right?]

Iskierka | Temeraire series

[kazilik]

[There is a very irritated dragon in the marketplace, arguing with a shopkeeper. She's trying to keep her voice quiet, but -- being as she's rather large, her idea of 'soft' is like most people's idea of speaking very loudly. Watch out, try not to get poked by spikes as her tail lashes a bit.]

Oh, that is stuff, you told that kedan there that the necklace was five juulan. Besides, I shall buy a great many of them as they are rather small, so certainly they should be less for me.

[poeticverses]

[Dear God, another one. Female by the sounds of it. Jehan dodges the tail and steps in before things can escalate.]

Ah, pardon, Mademoiselle Dragon, but this particular merchant does not like guests and is prone to raising prices for us. There is another one, just over there, that is much friendlier.

Horatio Hornblower | A&E Series, Not Novel

[seasickinspithead]

[And there is an extremely serious looking young man seated at the turtles head, his expression pensive as he stays settled where he is. The feeling is not unlike that which he manages to find when standing watches, and clearing his mind in the bustle of this new place where only he has managed to come is helping him somewhat, even as the thoughts of duties missed, and of Archie left alone so soon after their release from prison have been worrying him.]

[kazilik]

[Well, if Horatio would care to notice, there is a dragon flyin about above the ocean, looking slightly disgruntled.]

Ian Malcom | Jurassic Park | OTA

[mustgofaster]

[A giant turtle. Great. Wonderful. Please tell him it had its midnight snack.]

SUP IAN have a dragon?!

[kazilik]

[....Sorry, man, Iskierka may not be watching where her tail is going. So you might be getting knocked into by a spiky red tail with steam trailing off of it.]

Oh! Do watch where you're going.

Leonard "Bones" McCoy | Star Trek XI

[wholedamnplanet]

[Dammit Jim! He's a doctor, not a cheloniologist!]

3

[imaginate]

[Who's great at not looking where he's going? This guy. So the first impression Bones gets of him is an 'Ow! Watch it!', followed by an apologetic expression, and then a curious stare.]

Haven't seen you around before. New?
