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!

Genis Sage | Tales of Symphonia
[Genis likes to think that, as far as kids go, he's a pretty good one. He doesn't poke his head into things he shouldn't (except for human ranches), he doesn't let his temper get the best of him (except for when he does). He definitely doesn't do the kinds of things that end with him being chased.
...unless he's with Lloyd. Which, in this case, he isn't, so how did he even wind up in this situation? There are some rather displeased looking people his age hot on his heels and he's running as fast as his legs will carry him.]
Uh! Excuse me, look out!
[Luckily he's small and nimble, and also doing his best not to cause too much trouble, but the best of intentions don't stop things from going wrong. His foot catches on something and he pitches forward, having lost his balance.]
—aaaaack!
[Great. Just great. Because that's not embarrassing at all.]
nine;
[So there are a lot of things about this place that are baffling to him, even as smart as he is - but seeing monsters appear and attack people? That's something he knows how to handle. He's got his trusty kendama in hand he can feel the mana swirling around him to cast a spell, even before he shouts a warning to the poor, unfortunate soul the nasty creature is swooping down upon.]
Come get some! Air Thrust!
[Sharp gusts of wind converge on the creature; Genis takes the moment when it's distracted to finally look over at its would-be victim.]
Are you okay?
nine!
[The person in question has a fairly distinctive green shell of a shield up, a Force Field which drops only a few seconds later, when the rakenga is off of her. She looks startled, mostly because she knows that spell and she knows that voice very well indeed.]
Genis?
[She twists her staff around and darts over. It would be better strategically to stay distant, since that way both of them can't be hit at once, but she also needs to see him from slightly closer, right now. Raine skids to a halt nearby and looks him over.]
How long have you... no, we should handle the rakenga, first.
[She braces her staff, and begins to cast as the creature recovers itself.]
Photon.
no subject
[Genis can scarcely believe his eyes.
It's definitely her. They're siblings, so he would recognize her anywhere, even in a place like this. But she's right (as she nearly always is) that they need to take care of the monster before they get into any deep conversations, so he turns his attention back to it as she casts.
It dawns on him that the creature had tried to attack his sister, who could most certainly handle herself - but still. He's inclined to dislike the rakenga just on principle because it was going after people who may or may not be able to defend themselves, but the fact that it went after his sister...
It's overkill, a little. He doesn't care, and he doesn't give it a chance to recover from Photon, either.]
Indignation!
[...well, it's fitting. And there's something more than a little satisfying about seeing lightning come crashing down on it, too. He takes a moment to look and see if it's still standing - flying - whatever, and then looks to Raine.]
no subject
[Raine watches the rakenga settle. It isn't moving, which is hardly a surprise. Indignation will do for a lot of things, and not everything in this world has the same magical resilience that some of the monsters in their world possess. When she's sure, she nods decisively, then turns to Genis.]
[She looks perhaps a little older than he remembers. More tired. There are faint lines at the corners of her eyes that weren't there before. All this, however, practically vanishes in an instant, replaced by an expression of sheer delight.]
You're back!
[And she closes the distance between them and bends just enough to sweep him into a hug, staff clattering to the ground somewhere in the mix.]
no subject
His voice comes out slightly muffled, a side effect of being caught in the hug. He would have tried to squirm free, but actually seeing his sister is something he wasn't sure he'd ever get to do again - and so he stays where he is, his arms wrapped tightly around her.]
What do you mean, back?
[It probably isn't what she wants to hear. But he's absolutely sure that he would have recognized this place if he'd been here before, and try as he might, he can't recall it. It's probably not going to be the easiest conversation to have with her, but it's better to get it out of the way sooner rather than later so they can decide where they stand with each other and move forward.]
no subject
[Raine appreciates it while she can, but that's a question that's going to have to be answered. She lets him go reluctantly, holding him at arm's length to look him over. Yes, it's definitely Genis, and he doesn't look appreciably older or younger; but it would not be the first time memories have gone astray, or different incarnations have surface.]
[...regardless: it's still her brother.]
You -- or some version of you -- were in this world before, perhaps a year ago. Time can work strangely here; that's not entirely unusual.
What's the last thing you remember before appearing here?
2
Is everything alright? You look like you're in a hurry.
[Brilliant observation there Kid.]
no subject
The children that had been chasing him down whiz past, and Genis sighs heavily.]
I was. Those crazy kids were after me.
[Please don't ask him why.]
no subject
Why were you being chased by kids?
[If Genis wasn't a kid himself Kid might be a little suspicious. That and if Kid was capable of suspicion in hte first place.]
nine;
How... how did you do that? Was it a Vigor?
no subject
[That's not terminology he recognizes. He gives her a slightly weirded-out look, then shrugs.] It's magic. It's what I do.
no subject
[ Then the rest of what Genis says registers. ]
Wha-- magic? But that's... impossible?
[ and yet at the same time, she seems oddly awed by the idea ]
