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 disappears 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 can also be 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!
[Daud believed the same thing for a while. His more vivid dreams weren't actually dreams at all, but short journeys into the Void to speak with the Outsider. That was what convinced him in the end - none of his normal dreams remained so vivid for so long. His own mind didn't work against him like this.]
[He's guessing, but it's a solid guess to make. Whether dreams or 'constructs', this man doesn't believe he's real. And if there's one thing Daud knows, it's that he's real.
[... What. Irvine steps back, stops, stares. Exeter's still in his hand, but loose, and for the first time Irvine wonders just how far-reaching the compression actually was.]
[And now it's Daud's turn to pause. He hadn't been considering planets, or stars in the sky. Other worlds, yes, but reached through the same metaphysical dream state as the Void.
If Walls of Light and Arc Pylons exist, then is it such a stretch to believe travelling off of the planet is also a possibility? Daud briefly wonders how much whale oil that would take. He isn't sure there are enough whales in the Ocean.
He shrugs, and smiles - the small, unpracticed smile of someone who doesn't smile very often.] I don't know. I haven't been here long. Woke up in the middle of the city a few days ago, just like you. The only difference is that I didn't have a gun.
[Can one travel in time, just as easily as stepping between realms? The Outsider certainly seems to know the future, but Daud never considered it possible for anyone else.
If it is possible... is it then also possible to change the past?]

Why?

[Something not being a real person doesn't mean a dream. Those fake sorceresses right after the compression started told him that.]
For all I know, you could be one too.
no subject
I'm not.
[He's guessing, but it's a solid guess to make. Whether dreams or 'constructs', this man doesn't believe he's real. And if there's one thing Daud knows, it's that he's real.
So is the gun.
He nods towards it.] Would that kill a construct?
no subject
Why not? It did the other ... uh ... dozen?
[He kind of lost count after a while. They weren't very strong, but they were very creepy, with that cackle and those gowns.]
But you're the first one who's talked back to me, so ... maybe you are real. Where are we? Which continent?
[He's not expecting to know the name of the city, if it's either past or future, but the continent names won't have changed much. He hopes.]
no subject
[A world outside of time, the kedan had said. Daud knew where he'd heard that before. It didn't fill him with confidence.]
The locals think we're on the back of a giant turtle. If it's true, we'll make landfall eventually. Maybe you can find some answers there.

We're on another planet?

[Huh. If this guy just woke up ... like that ...]
Let me guess. Some kind of time whammy is going on for you too?
feel free to drop, I just needed to round tags off o7

Is that common for you?
