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!

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!
no subject
[Cocks head to the side.]
Ahh, I don't know Zoro well, the version I met in Ceres did seem a bit like he needed to have more fun in life, so I guess he wouldn't take a joke well.
Which means he'd probably hate me. [......... Marco sounds genuinely delighted by that prospect, and though his face is still a birdie deadpan, that tail swishing takes on an evil sway somehow.]
no subject
Zoro needs more fun, but he has a good sense of humour! I just don't think he'd have liked it if I entered his boyfriend's naked butt in a public contest.
[ ... waitasec. ]
Eh? Are you saying that you're a joke?
no subject
[ 8| ]
So he looks after Ace well then?
[Eyeroll.] No, I'd turn him into one. [EVIL BIRDIE.]
no subject
[ oooohhh ]
Sanji would probably like that.
no subject
Aye? [Small grin.] I seem to remember that a bit, yoi. Even the chef didn't seem that interested in --
Well, he was pretty busy, eh. At least, the time I met him.
no subject
this marco knows ace from not just his own world but from another? and zoro and sanji were there, too... was this all concurrent with time in nautilus? then again, space and time are relative, so it's technically possible they were the same zoro and sanji and ace in all dimensions. just with temporal amnesia, or something...
it's overwhelming.
if he was in this situation without marco here, he would probably have found a quiet little nook to curl up in and panic; revert back to being independent rather than letting himself act his age and finding comfort.
but since marco is here akito just burrows himself more securely under the phoenix's wing, effectively hiding from this new world for a little while. ]
Um... Do you have any ideas for what to do now? Ah, that is... It's nice talking with Marco-pi, but is there something we should be doing now we're in a new world? It's really different from Nautilus...
no subject
[Switches back into human and lays in the grass weee.] Or if you want to see if the locals will trade you things for the meat or leather.
no subject
...Thatch and Namur are here?
