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!

The nature of these people makes it hard to determine who is really human and who is otherwise, don't you think?
[ well that sounds too close to himself. ]
no subject
Uuhhh... [Well that's enough to make someone suspicious of anyone ever around here. It's one thing to realize you're surrounded by aliens of all different species--this isn't a first for him--but quite another to consider they might not be as advertised.] Are you saying it's common to masquerade as human around here?
[Not that's he's not, you know, guilty of it himself on occasion. He's quite guilty of being a kedan jungle gym though, as the boy has made it to his back--a journey of which elicited more than a few twitchy reactions from Drift, creating a visual catalog of sensitive spaces for the very astute observer. Drift can't bear to put an end to it though, every time the child laughs the corners of his mouth turn up further.]
no subject
[ that clearly means that not everything that looks human is human. ]
Not to mention that there are a few other races that look human, but where not born on Earth.
[ that doesn't make them any less human, but it does mean... ]
So perhaps I should have said 'Earth culture' instead.
no subject
...........
Noted.
[Organic shapeshifters...figuring out how that works hurts his brain module. He hasn't been here long and apparently has ALOT to learn still. Also does that mean this Gentleman of Quesrionable Nature is trolling him? Probably.]
So what does that make you---OWW HEY! WATCH the haaaands!! [Yes, that would be the small child tugging on his bunny 'ears'. Yes, they are still very sensitive.]
no subject
...it's a scene that makes Megatron's avatar wince. some things really don't change. ]
I'm not sure how you are tolerating that.
no subject
Very carefully.
[That's how he tolerates this. He's a 4+ billion year old warrior who's not good at much else; he has no idea how to properly handle small squishy young things. Maybe too, there's some envy in the child's innocence, something he never had, and he's reluctant to squash that.
The child at least understands the sound of distress, and with a look of surprise, eases up his grip and tries to soothe what he's done with a few gentle stokes.]
Ach. That's not... What I... [Dammit, this isn't much of an improvement.] You're sure you don't have another of those coins?
no subject
I would suggest offering to buy the child a treat.
[ works in those horrible Earth movies! ]
no subject
[No it certainly does not. It's all he can do to keep his engine from issuing a soft purr. The stiffness of his frame seems to drain away though. Encouraged, the child doesn't stop.-]
Er. Right. So you show it to them, then toss it as far from you as you possibly can, then vacate while they chase it?
[Or is that a different kind of simple organic life?]
no subject
Only give it to it after it agrees and complies.
no subject
[Oh, bribery then. Well, Drift is not against using such tactics when deemed absolutely necessary, which they might be here soon. Truth of the matter is though...he sort of likes the attention. (Except for the tugging, that could get old.) And his ego would really like this not to be happening in the middle of a crowded street, witnessed by a stranger with oddly familiar red eyes. So Drift turns to the nearest stall, and without any barter what-so-ever, plucks a large candy on a stick and throws down some coin--far too much, but it's the price of his dignity here--then waves the brightly colored treat in front of the small child. The gambit seems to work, the child scampering after the candy at arms length as Drift squats down.]
I'll let you have it if you go share with your other friends.
[The child takes it eagerly, issuing something that might be an excited thank you, then seems to deflate when Drift holds a hand up, blocking the child from reclaiming his perch. He stands, forlorn a moment, and it's then that Drift notices the shabby clothes, dirty face, and thin face. A sigh heaves from his vents.]
We can play again tomorrow, okay?
[With a cheer, the child throws his arms around Drift's one, then scampers off down the alleyway, clearly at home.]
Well, what do you know. That actually worked.
no subject
but when the look of recognition hits Drift's features, it suddenly dawns on him as well. ]
Developed a soft spot, hmm?
[ quite, more observing than anything else. ]
Yes, it did. I didn't think it actually would.
[ if only because movies don't often mirror reality! ]
no subject
Except... ]
Hey WAIT... What do you mean developed?
[ Sorry was there another topic of conversation going there, because that little implication just totally derailed it. ]
no subject
well he starts to walk off. ]
no subject
>:[
>_>
<_<
...annnnd Drift follows after.]
Hey! I asked you a question!
no subject
[ just going to keep walking! ]
no subject
And what kind of response is that? Asking permission to answer a question with another question? Who even does that!?
.... ]
........
Go ahead.
[ Hand on sword maybe. Just... in case. ]
no subject
besides... he's not quite sure how Drift is going to react. that makes him uncomfortable. ]
If you could meet someone that wronged you in the past, would you want to?
no subject
Which...actually might be a good thing because the questions trips him up, almost literally. ]
I--what?
[ headtilt ]
I suppose...that depends on the kind of wrong. And what we were before that. [ He thinks of Rodimus now, how could he not? ] The stronger the bond the deeper the cut it can withstand.
[ Clearly he read that somewhere; it's not as is Drift has the breadth of experience with relationships to know first hand. ]
no subject
That sounds like something out of those fortune cookie things.
[ funny thing is... he's having a hard time seeing those words come from Deadlock's mouth. it's difficult for Megatron to parse this person and that person as being the same individual. ]
I'm curious because there is a very good chance you could come across some... Individuals from your past. Or your future.
no subject
[ He has to get wisdom from somewhere. Wing and Gasket died on him, Rodimus has a deficit, Ratchet is as pragmatic as it gets and Megatron...well let's not get started with THAT guy. ]
[ And if someone is looking for hallmarks of Deadlock, the slightly wary way Drift's hand cups a swordhilt is an indication, a callback to Deadlock's old paranoia. ]
Oh? Do tell.
[ 80% of the people from his past aren't friendly. ]
no subject
[ but that's all Megatron is about to say. he sees the way that Drift's hand is on the hilt. he knows that stance and look all too well.
thus Megatron lifts a hand in a gesture of peace. or surrender. ]
There is hardly a need for that. Any fight left within died ages ago.
no subject
[ Mention of Swerve makes him go wide-opticed and the hand tightens on the sword's pommel. But then the not-stranger's next move makes him realize what he's doing, his tactical subroutines already firing to analyze the situation, prepping his systems should be need to react.
He cycles a ventilation, releasing his grip somewhat. ]
I hope that's true, I don't really want a fight.
[ Okay. Maybe part of him does. But that part doesn't get a vote until a) some strikes him first, b) other bad ju-ju creates justifiable cause. he's watching you, mister, for other bad ju-ju. ]
no subject
[ which means that Megatron isn't all that far away. one really can't hide a tank. but a tank can be tucked away so that it is out of the way.
even so, his avatar doesn't blink off. he just stands there, waits for Drift's reaction. ]
You are missed, from what I can gather. For the record.
no subject
[ Bring it on. He could use a fight, truth be told. It would be something familiar at least, in this strange place. No matter how close he gets to his spiritual side, it doesn't quiet the natural battle instincts nor change the fact that he has always thrived there.
But missed? Drift can't entirely hide how nice it is to hear that. Even if he's not sure how to take it, coming from an unknown source. There are those who would not miss him, who would orchestrate things like this at his expense. ]
I'm not usually one for games, except among friends, so I hope for your sake you fall into that category.
[ Otherwise he's gonna get real tired of your rustwash. ]
no subject
[ one more turn. down one more street and then he stops. there Megatron sits in his alt mode. there's no way he's going to transform either. no way is he going to appear threatening. ]
