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!

Alya Césaire | Miraculous Ladybug
[This city is fascinating. Alya, being Alya, can't help but whip out her phone to start recording as she makes her way through the streets, documenting anything and everything that stands out to her as different. And oh, boy, are there are lot of them. She's wandering past some stalls, idly recording her walk, when a kedan's hand snaps out and grabs at her wrist, clearly interested in the device.]
Whoa, whoa, no! This is mine.
[She grips her cell phone tightly in both hands and takes two quick steps backwards, yanking her hand free. She's not opposed to bargaining in theory, but her phone is something she absolutely won't give up. She scans the crowd for anyone nearby who might be of assistance, and when she locks eyes with someone, she mouths "I could use a little help here!"]
eight;
What the heck is this...
[She turns the packet over in her hand. The person who'd given it to her had all but rushed off after foisting it upon her (in quite the hurry, too, which makes her think that maybe this isn't the best thing to be carrying around in plain view), but she can't help it: She's curious. She slides her phone into her back pocket and tentatively rips open the packaging.
Inside the packet is a small crystal. It's deep purple in color, and it's pretty enough, but... what is it supposed to do? Puzzled, she steps off to the side and shakes it out into her hand to get a better look at it.
Some kindly soul might want to tell her to get that out of sight before the kedan pursuing the drug dealer who had dumped his stash on her spot her with it. Some unkindly soul, on the other hand, might think it funny to get her to take it.]
nine;
[Where there's danger, heroes are sure to follow.
Alya has believed in that for a long, long time now, and she doesn't think think there's any real reason why it wouldn't hold true here. Ladybug and Chat Noir had appeared when Paris had needed them. Why wouldn't heroes appear when the people here needed them, too?
So when the winged creature swoops down on a kedan, she doesn't panic. She already has her trusty phone out to document everything she's seeing here - at this rate, she's going to need to find some way of expanding the amount of memory she has on it, because she doesn't have any intention of deleting any of the Ladybug videos she'd stored on it before appearing here - so it's a simple matter to point it toward the attack and start recording that.
Of course, bad things are made worse when good people allow them to happen. Alya is sure that a hero is on the way, but just to be safe, she uses one hand to tug her shoe loose and throws it at the winged creature.]
Hey! Pick on someone your own size!
[Not that a teenage girl really measures up to something with a twenty-foot wingspan, but she has to do something until someone who could actually handle the situation shows up.]
Nine
Still, it's Chat who comes landing into the scene, staff swirling, trying to keep the thing back, to try and give her a way out. He'd really like for it to not eat her today. That would be great. ]
Unless you have a secret growth superpower you've been hiding from us, Mademoiselle Césaire, I'd say you've bitten off more than you can chew.
no subject
She's recording the whole thing, of course.]
No growth superpower, but I've got a decent sixth sense for when you're going to show up, Chat Noir.
[If there was any doubt that involving herself had been completely intentional...]
So, what's the plan?
no subject
[There, a cat pun, maybe that will satisfy her. Probably not, but he can hope.
He takes another swing at the thing's beak, whacking it out of the way, while trying to keep himself between it and Alya. This is so much easier when there's two of them. ]
The plan is for you to get somewhere safe while I deal with the extinct bird problem. Think you can make it to that building if I keep Beaky busy?
no subject
...of course, she also leans over to the side a little so she can get a good shot of the monster's beak just before his staff connects with it. Ouch, that looks like it smarts.]
Oh, yeah, definitely. I've gotten way better at booking it since school started.
[But can doesn't mean will. She'll make a dash for the building, but she doesn't go inside, instead opting to stay on the doorstep so she can continue recording. Sorry, Chat.]
no subject
Alya!
[The creature catches him with its beak, while he's distracted, slamming him into a nearby wall. Ouch.
It at least gives him an idea, though. He hops to his feet, waving his arms to get its attention. Partly to get it towards the wall, partly to get it away from Alya. ]
Hey, bird brain! Over here!
no subject
[Not that he, being a superhero, would need any help from her - but a girl could dream. Besides, she's right by the entrance. If the creature decides it wants to make a snack out of her, she can quite easily duck inside.
Luckily (for her, not so much for him), its attention has definitely been drawn by Chat Noir's arm-waving. It advances on him with a fluttering of its wings to try and push him back, and then lunges at him with its beak. That's unpleasant.
On the other hand, if he's fast, it'll probably be easy to dodge and get in a good thwack or two with his staff.]
no subject
[Unfortunately for both the creature and Chat, he has no plan on twhacking it. As soon as it gets close enough, he slams his hand down on the wall behind him. ]
Cataclysm!
[The wall crumbles, then falls, right slap bang on top of the creature, and Chat for good measure. There's no movement right away from the pile of rubble where they once were.
He dead? ]
no subject
Or, it looks that way. Alya's retort dies on her lips and her eyes go as wide as saucers when the wall comes crumbling down on both the superhero and the super freaky dinosaur wannabe.
It's probably still not safe, but she stops recording, slips her phone into her pocket, and hurries over anyway to start shifting pieces of the wall off to look for him. She can try and drag him out to safety, maybe. The creature, on the other hand, can just rot.]
Hey - Chat Noir? If you're down there, answer me! Oh, man, this isn't good...
no subject
He gets to shit feet, brushing dust and mortar off the suit. Ugh. Walls. ]
Well. That could have gone better.
[This stuff is a hundred percent harder alone. Still, he turns to flash Alya a wide grin.]
Aww, don't tell me you were worried about me. [Dramatic heart to the chest time. ] I don't think my heart could take it.
5
The teenager steps behind the kedan and grabs their shoulder, tightly. Their legs nearly buckle from the sheer amount of pressure Kid puts on the muscle and bone. When their head turns to look at him his eyes narrow.]
That's not yours. Leave her alone.
[Then Kid turns the kedan around and shoves them away, putting himself between the girl and the kedan.]
no subject
Alya sighs lightly, brushing off her pants and tightening her hold on her phone. If that hadn't just happened, she might have slid it into her pocket, but the last thing she wants now is to get pickpocketed and lose it.]
Hey, thanks a lot. [She offers him a grin.] You really stepped up to the plate there.
no subject
You needed help.
[His head turns back toward the merchant, eyes hardening again as he does.]
And I don't like bullies.
[Kid makes sure the words are loud enough to carry before he looks back to the girl.]
Are you okay?
no subject
[She needed help, so he gave it. Now that was the kind of attitude she liked to see. With a smile, she holds out her hand to him.]
The name's Alya. What should I call you?
no subject
[He grips her hand with far more care than he did with the kedan's shoulder earlier.]
People call me Kid.
[It's been a while since someone called him by his real name.]
Maybe we should get you somewhere safer.
[If that merchant would just try to take her things you never know who else might give it a shot.]
8!
[ Elizabeth was, fortunately for Alya, witness to someone getting arrested just earlier that day for being in possession of just such a packet. So she hurries over to the other girl, closing her hands around Alya's. ]
I don't think you're supposed to have that... where did you get it? Here, put it in your pocket, hurry!
no subject
[In such a way that it looked like they were trying to get rid of it in a hurry... It was highly suspicious, and Alya looks a little disgruntled as she shoves the opened packet into her pocket.]
What's it even supposed to me?
no subject
It must be some sort of illegal substance... you didn't take any, did you?
