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!

Re: 1
(Her protests were interrupted by a stranger landing onto the street with a loud, booming crash - which nearly sends her onto the ground with a shocked cry as she tries to dart back out of fear of possibly being landed on.)
A-assistance? (Marie looks a little taken back by this question, she normally would just shake her head and refuse, but well, she was more than a little outnumbered and had to desire to get "rough" with anyone. But of course she gave the newcomer a look of mistrust, something she had grown to do out of the habit of having to be cautious.
She knew that the smartest thing she could have done was let them run off with the item, but the emotional, sentimental part of her just wanted her belonging back, it was a keepsake at this point. It made her feel better to carry it.)
Ma'am...? You don't have to be that formal. ("Oh god. Some sort of police?" The woman struggled to put her shields back up.) They took something from me and I just want it back first. After that...well...I don't really want anyone hurt, so yeah, I just want it back and I will just be on my way...
no subject
For the moment Guardian stands right where he is. The woman and the kedan both look a little on edge at the moment. Moving closer might cause someone to do something stupid. Seeing how one of them has a knife, the last thing he wants is for someone to do that.]
I don't want anyone hurt either.
[Guardian looks pointedly at them. All of them.]
So how about you two return the lady's belongings and everyone goes home without causing any trouble?
[His muscles tense in case someone makes a move and he readies the riot suppression gear of his armor. Like the boy scouts always say, be prepared.]
no subject
But when he says that he did not want to see anyone else hurt either? Well, that scored a couple of points with the woman.)
So... we are in agreement, yeah?
(Marie nods, she would prefer there not be any trouble herself, and she sticks her hand out for the knife. She could care less if they had found themselves with anything else of hers. But that? She would have a few things to say if they tried to sneak off with that.)
You know, I think that sounds fair. I just want to go home now. I don't really care what you two do, just hand me my stuff back and I won't have a problem. I can let this go, just like that. (A snap of her fingers.)
Hell, keep the purse - pretty sure most of that money is no good here anyway. I just want my knife back.
(Eventually the items are carefully placed into her hands and minus a few stares, there isn't any sign that anything more will happen than just that.
She then glances back at the stranger.)
Uh, thanks, I guess.
no subject
His attention moves back to the civilian. The curious look he gives her remains hidden behind his helmet. All she'll see are the bright red lenses of his helmet locking on her, which might be a little unnerving to some people.]
Glad I could help.
[He doesn't leave but he doesn't move closer either.]
Gotta say, I've never seen someone ready to give up their purse for a knife.
no subject
Never? (She lets her tone of voice sound almost playful, though she knows that it is unusual to care more about something like that than their wallets or purses.) ...Well, no one has ever accused me of being like most people.
(She lets herself be quiet for a moment. How to explain this without giving away everything? Then she just shrugged and gave a vague, short explanation.)
Well, it was gift and what can I say...I'm sentimental even if I don't like carrying it much.
