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 had been brought up, [Deon admits,] but it sounded like a bad joke played on a newbie. You mean to tell me that this, this whole city, is on the back of a turtle? Like something out of Discworld?
I've seen the head and flippers. It's obviously a very big turtle, but if you walk to the coast, you can see for yourself.
A while back, there used to be a dozen baby turtles of the same species wandering the streets. Foreigners were standing in for their parents. They decided to strike off on their own last year, though.
[Deon leans back on his heels, at that, like he's come up short against something that radically challenges his entire worldview. Which he has, and it does.]
Bloody hell, [he mutters in wonderment, before switching topics.] Baby turtles? Where did they come from? The kids of the big one, or what? [Given everything that happened with Chappie, he's beginning to think he might not be too bad a dad, one of these days.]
We found them in the ruins of another city, that used to be on the back of a turtle. When that turtle died, it sank to the bottom of the ocean. I gather the eggs were hers...
So the other city was at the bottom of the ocean? How did you get there? [He glances around.] I don't think submarines are exactly consumer technology.
There's a sort of barrier around the turtle. Or was, at least. It kept the water out. Also kept us from trying to sail away. It only came down when we were near land.
[And now he's wondering what sent them down there. Perhaps it was merely the first Emperor's wish: Zelgadis recalled she was still alive back then.]

[that actually gets melancholy look]
