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!
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!
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...?
Where There's A Will, There's A...? The Life and Dreaming Planes have been merged, and sometimes what start out as wishful thinking becomes lured into reality. That slick new motorcycle or pile of kingly treasure you were just daydreaming about? Surprise! Though it may only stay for a short while before it disppears again, so make it count. Hopefully you're not the type to daydream about terrible things befalling people you don't like...
SECRET UNDERCOVER MODE ACTIVATE! The three major kedan families all have their own agendas, and you've chosen to entangle yourselves with one (or more!) of them. Are you hoping to shift the balance of power? Gain some favours? Perhaps you're on a mission to bring a criminal to justice, or maybe you just want to get the cream of the crop from the black market.
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!
[Hup! and there's a smallish probably-human girl perching on the fence nearby, giving his external monologue a really curious look.]
You... know they're not gonna talk back, right?
[She scratches her cheek, tugs on one of the feathers in her hair. After a bit, having long since learned her lesson about giving confused people the benefit of the doubt:] I think that's pretty much just what they do. Kinda boring, huh? But I guess food doesn't have to be interesting.
At least chocobos you can ride. [And Rikku gives the chickens a look like they've betrayed her by being several times too small for that.]
[Theoretically, yes, but Garrus has made the mistake of assuming a giant sentient plant wasn't going to talk back either. Nothing would really surprise him these days.
He watches the young girl for a bit before replying.] Chocobos? Can't say I'm familiar with them, either.
They're birds, silly. [Not unkindly, but, y'know, weren't they just talking about birds?]
They don't really fly, though. I mean, they can glide if they get a bit of a start, they jump okay, but mostly they just run. Some people race 'em, or use them to pull things... y'know. [What do you expect a beast of burden to do? Rikku stretches up a bit, waves a hand in the air to indicate about how big they get.] Usually yellow, way fluffy.
[She gives him a sidelong curious look. Not the weirdest guy she's seen, but definitely nothing from Spira.] Well, what are you familiar with? ...Besides chickens.
See, that's what I always thought chickens were. Big, and yellow, and I think I remember someone mentioning it breathed fire.
[Spending money on keeping an animal just to eat it later seems like a waste. Birds big enough to serve as labour, on the other hand? That made sense. Work an animal until it died, then eat the remains later. No waste, no loss.
Garrus gestures up into the sky.] Up there, mostly. Well, in a different reality, I guess, but you know what I mean. [Hopefully.]
[Rikku giggles at that.] Sounds more like a chocobo eater if you ask me. Whoof! Be glad you haven't met one, those fiends are mean.
[She follows his gesture for a moment, craning her neck up at the sky, then peers back at him suspiciously.] Of course you're from another world, duh, aren't we all at this point, but-- the sky? Really? [Skeptical, but willing to maybe believe it. There are airships, after all. What's to say there's not more?]
It's a lot like Keeliai, actually, except that we don't get along nearly as well. Each family lives on a different planet, except for the people who live together on a large space station called the Citadel. Or the people who colonise other planets. Or the giant race of sentient machines hell-bent on destroying all life in the galaxy.
[They breathe fire! They're hilarious. ...If you have NulFire and are keeping your chocobos far away. Yeah, maybe don't ask.]
[Rikku whistles quietly. Wow.]
People always make things a mess.
[Not disparagement, just agreement; she's not surprised it's a mess. Living's a messy thing.]
You have machina that can think for themselves? Wow. I-I mean, wow. Sin-type machina, okay, bad, but... [She trails off, scrunches up her face, trying to figure out how to put this. This guy's like. Centuries ahead of even Tidus. Which, okay, not hard, but he thought they were pretty backward for a while, too.] Where I come from, it's just one little-bitty planet. That's all. Maybe there's more, but we'd have to look to tell, y'know? And any advanced machina have been forbidden for years.
[Which is dumb and her people never listened to anyway but there's only so much you can do by way of technological advancement when the entire rest of the planet hates you.]

It's a mess, and I'm not explaining it right.
