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!

Not exactly, but there's a handful of people here who can use the Force. Whether they're Jedi or not, I couldn't tell you.
[He gestures for the young woman to follow him, as he walks away from the market stall.]
It looked to me like that's not the first time you've tried to do that, but that's the first time it didn't work, yeah? You must not've had much training yet.
no subject
I -
[She watches him walk away and follows, needing to get information and have the last word. She doesn't want a Force user to think she's foolish.]
That was my second time trying it. The first worked.
[This time obviously didn't, for the exact reason he's already said. She doesn't feel the need to admit her weakness out loud. Her lack of training is apparent and she knows it.]
no subject
It's all about need, I think. Like...how badly you need for someone to do what you say.
[He thinks about the dozens of Stormtroopers he sent to their deaths via his own Mind Trick, and the time he tried (and failed) to pry General Kota's location out of a bartender on Nar Shadaa.]
It just takes practice, and willpower.
[Contrary to the way he'd been trained, Starkiller was trying to adopt a subtler approach. He didn't want to attract any more attention to himself, after literally falling out of the sky and leaving a small impact crater where he'd landed in the city. No one needed to know how powerful he was.]
I'm...Galen, by the way. Galen Marek.
no subject
I'm Rey.
[She gives him a smile, pleased to meet someone who knew about the Force. She's still so new to it that it's a confusing mixture of exciting and fearsome.]
How long have you been training?
no subject
Since I was about five...I think? [His early memories were all a bit hazy, but he remembers the fateful afternoon when Darth Vader invaded the Wookiee village he and his father lived in. If you could call what Vader did "recruitment".] My...teacher. He wasn't very interested in actually teaching me anything worthwhile, so I've done a lot of my own training. Had a little help from an old man, but he was drunk as often as he was able to tell me anything useful.
[Thinking of General Kota passed out in the cargo hold of the Rogue Shadow elicits a genuine laugh from Starkiller. The first he's had in a very, very long time.]
no subject
I've never actually trained with anyone.
[If he's willing to divulge so much information about his training she can at least admit that much.]
no subject
Sorry, I just got thinking about the man who helped me. Master Kota. He was weird even for a Jedi. I think it was all the time he spent in the Outer Rim, trying to stay out of the Empire's notice.
[He nods.]
I think there's at least one Jedi here who can help you. Better than I could, anyway. I...never really learned restraint.
no subject
If you never learned restraint, does that mean you never became a Jedi?
[She wonders if there's a distinction there, in the fact that he didn't say there was at least one other Jedi. She stops walking to look up at him, more curious than concerned.]
no subject
Master Kota called me a Jedi, but I think he did that more to give me confidence than anything else. Some of the things I did weren't very Jedi, but I did them for the right reasons. I'm not sure if that counts or not.
[If Rey looks close, she'll notice burn scars that could only have come from a lightsaber crisscrossing his arms. This was a man who had seen a LOT of combat. More than anyone his age should have as a Jedi.]
no subject
I think the right things, done for the right reasons counts. The Jedi want to do what's right, don't they?
[She's only just learned that the Jedi aren't myths, and that the Force is real and she's a user of it. Everything feels like it's coming naturally to her but she's confused and needs guidance.]
no subject
That's right. I did what I did because it was the right thing to do.
[Starkiller suffers a vision, causing him to clutch his head as the words "Will I...ever see you again?" ring in his mind.]
But sometimes the right thing isn't the smart thing. I learned that the hard way.
no subject
I've learned that recently, myself.
[She understands now that the right thing to do often means putting yourself or the people you've come to care for in the line of fire.]
But it's important to remember that the right thing is a personal choice. Everyone will have a different path.
[Her mind thinks to Kylo Ren and his grandfather, and the dark and deadly path they went down out of believing they were doing what was right. This man seems different than that so she manages a smile for him. ]
no subject
It always is. I can't tell you how many times I could have cut and run, left my old life behind me, but...I had people counting on me. Things I had to do.
[He runs a hand over the Rebel Alliance patch sewn onto his clothes. Kota had given him this stuff, probably to remind him of what he'd created.]
I never asked to be a leader..or a symbol or anything, but here I am.
no subject
Yes, here you are. In a new place, where no one is expecting you to be a leader. You have a chance to rest now.
no subject
Maybe, but I've still got the Force on my side. It won't be long and people'll try to make me use it here. They won't want me to, by the time I'm done.
[There's a darkness to his voice. Not directly threatening, but there's a sense that he's hiding something big.]
no subject
I won't let anyone make you.
[Her words are shaky but firm. She's frightened but determined wisp of a girl.]
no subject
Thank you. I just...there's always gonna be that part of me that's still Starkiller. I don't want to be that person any more.
[The part of him that could pull Star Destroyers out of the sky, or pierce a Gorog through the chest with almost no effort. He didn't want it any more.]
no subject
[The word is whispered and her fear doesn't lessen at saying it out loud.]
I was just on a base with the same name. Do you know of the First Order?
no subject
Can't say I do, but I can guess. Soldiers in white armor, led by bad guys in black robes with red lightsabers.
[He sighs.]
Just like I used to be. I was...Darth Vader's Apprentice, in another life. He called me Starkiller.
no subject
I've just...met his grandson.
[And she'll leave it there because the guilt and anger she feels toward the lightsaber duel they had taken part in haunts her. She knows that she needs to control her fear but she can't help it here. She feels like she might be treading into dangerous territory, despite his seeming to not want any part of the things he's done in the past.]
no subject
It's all right. My life with Vader is long over. That part of me is one I've been trying to leave behind.
[And he gestures with his head at the pair of lightsabers dangling from his belt.]
If Vader's grandson has an issue with either of us, he can take it up with me. I'm a Jedi, after all.
[He smirks. He'd rather not fight, but if it came to it, he would fight anyone who tried to drag up that part of his past. Or anyone who threatened him or those he cared about because of it.]
no subject
With any luck, Kylo Ren won't find his way here with us.
[Her optimism allows to hope for that, but somewhere in the back of her mind she can feel that he's here. She just knows it.]
I'd rather you didn't fight at all, Galen.
no subject
Kylo Ren, huh? Must be a different kind of Sith Order, if they're not using "Darth" any more.
[He's cracking jokes, but in the back of his mind, Starkiller is mentally preparing himself for "Kylo Ren". If he really was Vader's grandson, he might have his work cut out for him.]
I'd prefer not to if I can, but...we don't always have the luxury of picking our battles.
