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 starts out as wishful thinking becomes lured into reality. That slick new motorcycle or pile of kingly treasure you were just daydreaming about? Surprise! It's just appeared in front of you. 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. Maybe you haven't been hired by them at all, but are using their name for your own goals... as long as no one discovers the lie!
- Wait... you want my what now?!
The kedan are a curious folk, and the Foreigners are entertainment in conveniently arriving packages, especially when they come along with unique items that the kedan might not have seen before. Maybe it's your cellphone... or maybe it's your knickers! How badly do you want to keep your stuff from some overeager native shapeshifters who want to buy, bribe, or burglarize it right off your person?
- Sea prunes, get your sea prunes right here!
Life in Keeliai can take a little getting used to: the chickens have scales, the cows have feathers, and the fruits come in more colour and pattern combinations than your average tye-dye shirt. Not to mention that meal you just ordered from the food vendor? Has arrived on the plate, and you're pretty sure you just saw it move.
- Everybody needs a little darkness...
The Great Enemy may have been defeated over two years ago, and people are even willing to speak Malicant's name aloud now, but there remains a taint in the city never fully purged. Those who consider Malicant a dark god whose end was unjust are the cultists of Keeliai, and they aren't always so easy to identify as one might think. Sometimes their presence is felt in the growing urge to give into one's darker instincts, especially in such a foreign place...
- Illicit substances, anyone?
Every city has its vices, and Keeliai is no different. Perhaps you actively sought it out, or perhaps an opportunistic dealer saw you as a potential customer needing a free sample, but you're now in possession of a packet of Lucid, an emotion-enhancing drug. Interested in finding out what happens when you crush that colourful crystal and ingest it?
- Incoming!
Tu Vishan's latest landfall stop has brought an unwelcome problem to its residents: enormous, toothy creatures who look more like pterosaurs than most people are comfortable with! With a twenty-foot wingspan, these aren't exactly harmless local wildlife, and they have a nasty habit of swooping down on targets both Foreigner and kedan! How are you going to fend them off, or help someone who might have been injured by the latest dive bombing??
- 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? Anything goes!

Zach Spencer | Lazer Team
Hey, fuck off, [Zach says, yanking his right arm away from the Snake who seems overly interested in the laser cannon attached to it.] You wanna be a part of Lazer Team, you find your own alien spaceship.
[Zach, you didn't find it. You just happened to be in protective custody when the damn thing got blown out of the sky by some drunk assholes.]
----
wildcard.
[There's a nineteen-year-old kid stalking the streets of Keeliai, but he doesn't look too much like a kid anymore. He's still got the baby face, but the military jumpsuit and the cannon attached to his right arm - it looks like a cross between a Portal gun and a Mega Buster - make it pretty obvious he's not just a kid.
That, and the fact that he looks like he's just come from a pretty serious fight. He's singed and bloody and scowling.]
Wildcats! I mean... card. Wildcard.
[The voice comes from a short-ish man
he's not that short!in green. He looks worse for wear himself, but has what looks like a medical backpack sat at his feet.He's sat up on a wall, munching something that looks like an apple, but tastes like a pear, a weary look in his eyes.]
/abruptly changes which username for Zach I'm using
That term's got connotations, y'see.
Zach whirls on him, pointing his cannon arm at the guy in green. (Though Stuart's probably safer with the cannon pointed at him, given how bad Zach's aim is.) Great. A doctor. Zach's not too fond of doctors lately.]
No. Definitely not.
no subject
Can't you see "Emergency Medical Technician" in gold on his epaulettes? Doctor, indeed.]
You sure, mate? You're looking kind of... singed.
Wait...you want my what now?!
After all, he still had people trying to steal with busted up helmet with the cracked air shield that was being held together with friggin' duct tape and pointing and muttering with an unhealthy curiosity.
Basically...
What the fuck, kid?)
Lazer Team? (Mark might look amused by that.) So, what...you some kind of superhero or something?
Also...didn't expect to hear taking down alien spacecraft was THAT easy.
i am so sorry for zach
I mean, shit, you slam anything with a bastard of a firework and it'll go down like a two-dollar hooker in a truck stop.
Why is Mark being the serious one right now? This is not how that's supposed to work! lol
(No, Mark. Stop.)
I mean, you'd like to think something that's capable of interstellar travel would be sturdier than THAT? I mean the stuff NASA has now is pretty damn good...
(Note to self - check with NASA about how sturdy both the MAV and Hermes are. Make sure they aren't capable of being taken down with bastard fireworks.
If so, better call Lewis and tell her.)
Wildcard
Marie is careful to not let herself get any closer, she even debates just turning around and leaving, but she settles for just standing aside. She has to remind herself that things are different in this place.
She can't help but raise an eyebrow, not until he gets close enough for her to see the blood and the fact he's singed. She might even look concerned right now - she will never get used to seeing things like that. But, she has the feeling that fussing, especially since she's a stranger, is a really bad idea with this one.
But still?
"Poor kid.")
Wait...you want my what now?!
NONE, KID.
Goddammit, Zach. Don't make him put you on a baby leash.)
You didn't find it. None of us found an alien spaceship. It was just blown out of the sky by two idiots who had access to fire and beer.
Also, I don't think he's all that interested in being a part of the team...more like he wants to take your arm and sell it.
no subject
Zach turns to Hagan, shrugging his arm away from the kedan with a glare.] He can piss off, then. I'm not interested in another asshole trying to cut my damn arm off.
no subject
Hagan sighs.)
It's not like I am either, I was just saying... anyway, we should probably get out of here before another one tries to actually do that.
no subject
[He jokes about it, but killing the orderly had shaken him up a fair bit. Killing the Worg-possessed soldiers...not so much.]
no subject
(Hagan might not be the smartest or the strongest, hell let's argue he's not the most empathetic soul sometimes...but even he knows that whole "orderly incident" was hard, it would be hard for anyone.)
Besides, seems like they are mostly harmless here...just annoying. Really, really annoying. Besides, you don't honestly want to blow them into gravel, do you?
