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!
[That didn't make any sense. She'd looked fine this morning - maybe she didn't look her best because it was hard to find good mascara in Tu Shanshu, but she'd be surprised if Garrus even noticed that kind of subtle difference]
I did, I reached the conduit, and activated it. Garrus - how did you get here?
[Dryly. Seriously, he doesn't have a clue. One second, he was on the Normandy, forced to remain behind while Shepard ran right at the giant Reaper shooting at them. The next, he was here, and Shepard had a different face. A different colour.]
If you pressed the button labeled 'Kill All Reapers', I think we should ask for our money back.
There actually was one of those, but I pushed a different button.
[Garrus probably would have disapproved of the button she pushed. She imagined most people would have objected to the idea of being joined with the Reapers, of mixing aliens and the AI they feared so much.]
[But what form did Synthesis take? Was whatever was happening - Shepard's or Garrus's memories - a side effect of Synthesis? What else could it be?]
No. But I don't see the Normandy either. Or Joker. Or the shuttle. Or Earth. All I see is a planet I've never heard of, and a race of people who look human, but can change their appearances to look like anything they want.

What's wrong, Garrus? Spit it out.
no subject
[Something about saying it out loud is simultaneously calming, and oddly terrifying.]
What happened after you reached the Conduit? Did you make it onto the Citadel?

And I don't see any Reapers, do you?

[Which is when an unwanted thought occurs.]
You're not one of them, are you?
no subject
No, I take it back. I've always been a shape-shifting alien, and I decided to enlist as a human because of their privileged place in galactic society.
[Shepard didn't even need to add a tone for the sarcasm to be clear]
