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!

So it's an important tool. Good to know.
[She smiles and does as he's shown her, changing her grip and moving it the right way. She does it in the air before moving over to one of the mixing bowls to practice on invisible ingredients.]
How long have you been a baker?
no subject
[ He's not really talking to her despite the question, actually, bit mumbled and thoughtful while he's working out the actual answer. ]
Twenty years. Here, I'm going to put some of this flour in and the salt and just be light with it so it doesn't fly anywhere.
no subject
I made it to twenty without baking alone.
[Not that she's exactly twenty yet, but close enough. And it's not like she's baking alone right now but the sentiment counts.]
I think you have me beat.
no subject
Sorry to say, we're breaking that streak. Thankfully, it's not a contest.
[ He gets the sugar, pours that in slowly for Rey while she works with what she has already. He doesn't often teach people, but it isn't too hard a concept to go slow with someone who's new. ]
no subject
If you stay here for long, are you going to keep working at a bakery?
[She thought she had long term plans in place after joining the Resistance but now it looks like she's going to have to make new ones.]
no subject
[ He says it easily, like he doesn't have to think about that one much. Baking is what he wants to do. Just maybe on his own terms. While she's working on that, he's moved on to mixing the wet ingredients separately. ]
Baking puns aren't as easy as you'd think.
no subject
[She wryly admits, finishing her task before going over to assist him with finishing his. The wet ingredients look like they're more fun to work with so she doesn't hesitate in giving him a look that silently asks him to move until he finally takes notice and does just that.]
Anyway, this place seems to have a lot of potential. You can be anything you want.
[The issue is, she left Jakku and scavenging to join the Resistance and pilot the Millennium Falcon. Now she's lost all of that and is starting over again. She has endless potential here but no idea what direction to go in.]
no subject
That's... really deep, but also probably not true. Or... uh, disingenuous. What do you like doing? Do you like scavenging?
no subject
I scavenged to survive.
[It's something she became good at with time. Like flying ships and working on machines and speaking other languages.]
There's things here I've never seen or heard of before. I want to take the time to learn about all of them before deciding what I want to do with my future.
[She thinks of Han Solo and wonders if he'd tease her for that answer. She decides that he definitely would and her smile grows wider.]
no subject
In that case, there's plenty of potential. Me, I'm pretty simple, got lucky. You don't seem too bad with baking so far.
no subject
All she can do is laugh at her slip up.]
Not too bad with it maybe, but not very good at it either. What's the next step?
no subject
Now we start mixing all of them together into one bowl and make sure everyone gets along really well. That's the hard part, your arm is probably going to get sore.
no subject
She regrets her thoughts about five minutes later when her arm is most definitely sore. She looks to him with an expression that says you do this for fun? ]
You should have better arms, if you do this every day.
no subject
[ He looks more amused than insulted, but his head cants to the side like he doesn't quite get what she's saying. ]
Is that a please take over for me while I go let my arm fall off for a while, Junior?
no subject
[Her smile is warm but embarrassed as her teasing backfires against her. She's a good sport about it and passes the bowl over to him.]
Your arms are fine the way they are.
[Obviously.]
no subject
Well, thank you. I do try. I just don't bulk up all that well, apparently. You lasted longer than I thought you would.
no subject
Why, because I'm a girl?
no subject
Because you've never baked before.
no subject
Just wait until I get you under a speeder.
[It sounds like a threat. But it's not. She wants to teach him something she knows in exchange for his help here.]
no subject
What, like driving over me?
no subject
[Her laughter stops immediately and she shakes her head in embarrassment.]
No. To show you how to work repairs.
no subject
That's cool. I've never been much for machines, so we'll file that one under "completely new experience".
no subject
Your hands will get rough if you do it often enough.
[She glances down at her hands. They've been roughened by years of living and working in the desert.]
It doesn't matter when you're baking. But with other things...
[She shrugs.]
What's the next step?
no subject
[ He's thinking, specifically, of metal hands. They're beyond rough and strange and not suited to anything like this, but he doesn't mind it. ]
Next step is pouring it out into this and we'll put it in to bake, keep an eye on it, and make the frosting while it does that. What are your favorite colors? Or color.
no subject
I'm not sure I have a favorite color. I've never thought about it until now.
[She thinks to colors she enjoys and manages to find an answer.]
I do like the colors of sunset though.
