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!

Marco would live on the roof and cry himself to sleep at night until Ace punched him off
[But ignoring that first part and skipping ahead: awwww.]
He's one of the best things to ever happen to me too. But don't ever tell him I said that, or I'll deny it and throw him in the sea for Namur to fish him out.
Years, eh? [Runs a hand through his hair.]
[It could be his Ace, but he has no idea how to get to him from here much less bring him here. Reverse trailing Akito? MAYBE.] He's holding up well? Since you said you're his first mate... [Which is a hell of a headtrip for Marco, but okay.]
no subject
And he's doing... Better than he was back in your world. He's still working through some stuff, but knows he has people who love him to help if he needs it.
[ he rolls his shoulders in a small shrug. and for all his open, confident posture of earlier he's now very much the opposite; instead of owning the space he takes up, now he seems to shrink away from it.
his mind keeps going back to Hiro, and he hopes his best friend isn't missing him. ]
Un, me and my twin are his first mates. So when Oniichan has ideas he wants to try we make sure to plan for them. Usually we just go hunting or exploring, or just playing and training, since that world is too small to sail away for adventures...
no subject
You're a twin?
[Head tilt, and then stern-ish.] Not necessarily, yoi. I've seen Ace stay around what's familiar rather than go beyond what he could. The world could be a lot bigger than you even know. That's how he was at the Garden. He's a roamer at heart, but he just wants everyone he likes with him. If he's really happy as you say, then he wouldn't go far without a good push.
Especially after... [Trails off and pauses.] Well, the last time he wandered alone, it didn't end well.
no subject
Yeah. We're two pieces of the same soul.
[ he crinkles his nose. ] Un, he's tentative sometimes... In Nautilus the world really was small though. But it connected to other worlds, which would have made up for it except we couldn't explore worlds we weren't originally from.
We were gonna get Sanji to take him to visit my world with me for a vacation...
[ that is obviously a no-go now. :( ]
no subject
Hm. [Ruffles.] Don't worry so much kiddo. Sanji might be a better chef, [By far since Marco's not a chef] But you'll never find a better navigator when it comes to sailing anywhere in time and space.
1/3
[ a little bit of a pout. totally not childish. really. ]
I know you're really strong and are a Zoan-type, but I haven't heard anything about you being a navigator before. Sanji-nii leveled-up, you could say, in Nautilus and is good at going to other worlds so I trust him for sure.
no subject
[Also he's pretty pouty himself. Dang it Ace.]
2/3
Marco is a big fluffy fiery blue Phoenix bird.
And Akito hasn't seen it yet.
Blasphemy. ]
3/3
I can show you a picture of Oniichan as a trade!
[ because as if Akito doesn't have his Blackberry phone-turned-Nautilus comm device with him and have it filled with selfies and pictures of him and all his friends and loved ones.
lbr he probably has taken all kinds of stupid selfie pics with ace]1/2
[He doesn't even think twice before saying no. Stupid Ace. He's not a parlor trick, jeez!]
2/2
[Well....]
[Okay, that is REALLY tempting.]
[Sighs and facepalms.]
Okay. But don't tell Thatch and Namur or the others. And don't call me cute to them. Well, you can to Thatch, because Thatch is special anyway.
[Shifts over!]
[Sparkles!]
1/2
2/2
[ a beat. ]
And you definitely don't look like any type of poultry.
[ JUST, Y'KNOW. TO MAKE SURE MARCO IS AWARE THAT AKITO RESPECTS THE BIRD. since beaks can really hurt. ]
no subject
[See, his flames don't burn, only heal, so they feel warm and fluffy and emotionally healing.]
[You also might get sparkles on your hand.]
[But at the second part, his eyes go flat, then roll.]
[Stupid Ace.]
no subject
Of course that doesn't last for long - the go ahead to touch is effectively forfeiting having any sort of personal space to Akito. He all but throws himself at the big, warm bird-Marco with a muted noise of delight.
He thinks that even if Ace tried to explain Marco's Zoan form properly he still never would have done it justice. ]
You have the best Zoan fruit!
no subject
[And he swishes his tail back and forth.]
The best devil fruit period, yoi. [Puts a wing over Akito so he can hide like a duckling.]
no subject
The best known devil fruit then! But definitely the best Zoan-type.
no subject
[Because he can.]
Ace's is pretty well-known. [Swish swish tail.]
no subject
Because it's a good Logia type, or because it's Ace's?
no subject
[True story.]
[Ace was a legend.]
no subject
[ because of course Ace would be a legend.
and, as promised, Akito fishes around in his pocket for his phone until he finds it. it takes him a few moments longer to flip through the pictures he has and oh.
it really hurts. bad enough to sting his eyes with unshed tears and for agito to actively try and make him feel better.
pictures of them with Hiro. with Ace. with Sanji and Leanne and occasionally a shot with Zoro in the background. or a shot of Zoro sleeping somewhere dumb. selfies of accomplishments. cat pictures. pictures of Junior...
it's been, what? a few hours? and already he feels ill with how much he misses home. ]
I have a really good picture of Ace that you'll like!
[ because he's pretty sure that Ace would either think this was the greatest idea ever or be annoyed by the choice, Akito holds his phone out so Marco can see a picture of Ace's clothed butt on the screen. ]
It was for a contest, but he ended up losing it.
no subject
[And he just laughs at the sleeping Ace on his face pic. Idiot bro. Never change.]
What was the contest?
no subject
Best Butt.
It was our duty as his baby brothers to enter him in it on his behalf.
no subject
[Tail swish!] You should have gone with a naked one, the freckles might have won him some points.
no subject
...Also Ace and maybe Zoro would be mad, and I have to live with them. So I didn't feel like dying!
