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 uncontrollable urge to polish every paving stone in the Earth Sector? Anything goes!

The Kid | Bastion
[The teenager looks troubled. All he wants to do is buy a hammer. The intricate sledgehammer slung across his back is far to imprecise for the work he's doing. His partner might be good for a lot of things, but fine work is not one of them.Unfortunately the vendor makes something this simple far more difficult than it needs to be.
The original price started at ten juulan. Kid paid that easily. Then the vendor told him the price suddenly became fifteen juulan. He felt a little confused but Kid paid anyway. After that the vendor demanded another five juulan for the hammer. Now Kid really didn't understand what was going on yet he paid without comment. The price continued to rise until the vendor wanted the Cael Hammer in exchange for the plain one.]
But, that doesn't make sense. You said it was ten juulan.
[The vendor crosses his arms before telling him the price is nonnegotiable.]
I just want a hammer. I'll give you all my money but you can't have my partner.

[Kid's hungry. There's a problem though. All the food he finds looks too weird here. Kid's just a simple guy. He likes simple food. Nothing in the market looks simple. In fact most of it looks like it's still alive.
Someone offers him what looks like a snail, if a snail had tentacles and single giant eyeball anyway. Kid looks at it dubiously.]
Do you have anything normal? Like an apple? Or maybe a sandwich?
[They suddenly look offended. Kid doesn't have a clue why.]

He walks over, offering the merchant a pleasant smile. ]
Hi there. I'm pretty sure he's not going to sell it, and he has given you more than your asking price. I'm sure we can be fair about this, right?
no subject
He's not about to refuse the help though. Kid barely knows how to handle this.]
Yeah. What he said. You can't have my hammer. I'll give you all my money but not my hammer.
no subject
And if you need extra, I can help with that. You can't say that's not a fair deal, right?
no subject
The combination of Adrien's silver spoon and Kid's hard glare seem to work though as the merchant finally relents, taking all of Kid's money for the single hammer. Without another word to the merchant Kid takes it and leaves.]
Jerk.
[He pauses to address Adrien.]
Thanks for your help. I'm not good at this kind of thing.
no subject
Don't mention it. The merchants here can be a little stubborn. They want our stuff because it's rare and unusual, I guess.
Are you going to be okay for money? I mean, to get yourself food and rent?
no subject
[He's got more than a few of his weapons from home with him, but even he knows taking them into the city is a bad idea.
Kid looks in his wallet. Nothing but lint and moths in there now. He sighs, feeling a little stupid for buying that hammer. The merchant probably won't give him a refund.]
Maybe.
[It's a lie. A bad one too. Anyone could see it on his face.]
I'll figure something out.
no subject
[His eyebrows furrow, concerned, before offering a small smile. ]
Well, if you need anything, I can help you out. I know it can be hard here, when you're starting out.
no subject
[The words aren't a threat. Kid sounds more sad than anything else.
While Kid gives Adrien a faint smile in return, he shakes his head.]
Things have been harder. You shouldn't go out of you're way. I don't want to cause people problems.
no subject
[He prefers non-violent means, but if you have to protect yourself, well... ]
It's not causing me any problems. I have work, and a place to stay. Besides, I want to help.
no subject
[Kid hates resorting to fighting. Unfortunately, outside being a Mason, it's the only thing he's good at.]
You don't even know who I am.
[Which never stops him from stepping in but still.]
no subject
You're trapped here just like I am. We should look out for one another.
no subject
[Kid looks confused, tilting his head slightly.]
I don't feel like I'm trapped.
no subject
no subject
[Literally. This place is almost a paradise compared to it.
A faint, sad look touches Kid's eyes.]
If I can get my friends here I don't think I'd leave.
no subject
[And he does mean that, true empathy in his expression. ]
You never know, that might happen. The Dreaming is bringing in people all the time.

[ Jing has popped up near Kid's vicinity, looking at ease despite the array of food being offered, and the thief addresses the shopkeeper. ]
Hey, got any more of what you sold me? That was good, maybe he'll like it too.
no subject
I guess. Still doesn't look like something I want to eat.
[The shopkeeper turns their attention to Jing, ignoring Kid's comments now. In a matter of moments they whip up a new dish. Lots of rice and vegetables Kid's never seen before topped with some kind of grilled prawn-like creatures.
Kids eyes it dubiously.]
Are you sure this is good?
[That earns him another scowl.]
no subject
no subject
[Still he accepts the food. It might look weird but a guy's got to eat.]
Not the same when your friends are missing.
no subject
[ The food is actually pretty decent, and not still moving, which is a definitely plus. Still, Jing looks both understanding and sympathetic at Kid's remark. ]
Yeah, I get it. I arrived here, but my partner... doesn't seem to have made the trip.
