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 fact of the matter is, the consequences of our ancestors developing elemental bending has resulted in a modern day class system that cannot be broken as long as bending exists. Benders should have never existed in the first place - and the ability to have anyone learn bending has been gone for thousands of years.
For all the good that bending has done for our culture, it has ruined countless lives. All I ask for is equality.
And the same can be said of our revolution. There is enough sentiment that we've been able to wage war, a war that I'm determined to win.
[He took a deep breath, then gave Sabine a small bow.]
My apologies for my long-winded rhetoric, Sabine, I heartily enjoy debate and public speaking, and sometimes I find I can get carried away. All by the sight of your weapons.
no subject
It's true that the older something has been established, the more difficult it is to break away from.
I'm not saying you're wrong in wanting equality, or that you shouldn't fight for what you believe is right. But I know that it oftentimes an ideal and actual implementation run in different directions.
[She shakes her head a little at the bow.]
It's okay. It's hard to separate yourself from things like that, even in a place like this, I guess.
no subject
[He chuckled a bit.]
It was my entire life. It's hard to leave it behind, especially in this place. It reminds me much of my home. Shapeshifters and spirits and giant turtles... it's the stuff of legends where I'm from.
no subject
I guess I can say that's what I've been trying to do in my galaxy, what the rebels are attempting to do against the Empire. If we can inspire others who might otherwise be too afraid to oppose the Imperials, then the Empire will fall.
[Turning her gaze outwards to their surroundings, she sighs a little.]
I can't think of any place back where I'm from that might compare to this. But it's full of amazing things...
no subject
[He followed her gaze, watching the distant skies where the creatures had flocked from.]
It's a magnificent world, even if it is rife with its own problems. Still, I'd like to return to my own one day.
[The masked man's voice was more gentle, more open than it had been previously, as he turned back to Sabine and his eyes almost seemed to smile.]
What is your world like?
no subject
Thanks. I hope that things will work out in your world too.
[Sabine tilts her head thoughtfully.]
My homeworld, Mandalore, is one of many now under Imperial control. I was born just before the Empire was established, but already our world was caught up in political problems of its own. I don't really have a reference point to compare, and I haven't been back for a long time now.
...but I've been able to go to other worlds. That's what my friends and I would do, go where we're needed, where we think we'll be able to help and make a difference.
no subject
[The thought of it was almost breathtaking, and there was almost a hint of jealousy in Amon's voice.]
One day, I'm hoping my revolution will extend beyond the borders of the United Republic, that I can travel across the world and extend equality to people of all nations. It's been my dream for decades. You're very lucky to be able to spread your influence to so many people in need.
no subject
We do. It's necessary, because the Empire extends across the galaxy, and constantly tries to pull more worlds into its grasp.
I'll admit, it's a daunting undertaking. I used to not be sure that we were really making much of a difference, but I found out that there are others fighting for the same cause as we are. Recently we've joined with a rebel cell, and while we're not that large in number, it's still a lot more than just the six we started out with.
[She peers at that masked face, at the eyes barely visible behind it.]
I do think we're lucky...in a lot of things. We've had many close calls. But we just do what we have to do. ...so I don't have any doubts that you'll do what you feel you need to do.
(you know you're really making me want to app to this game, or at least play with you more)
If there's one thing I can assure you on, Sabine, it's that your numbers will continue to grow. So long as what you're fighting for is a righteous cause, your network of allies will swell, and you will become unstoppable.
[It felt almost strange to be exchanging words of reassurance to another rebel, but it was comforting, too, knowing that there was someone here he could genuinely relate to.]
(*cackle* Either would be awesome- I've been enjoying this thread a lot! I...should finish my app)
[There's nothing visible through her helmet to show it, but his words do prompt a faint smile. Sometimes it's easy to become discouraged, and sometimes you didn't always see the results of what you strove to fight for. ...but then somehow or another you'd see or know that you'd helped in some way.
Having a reminder helps, even from someone from a completely different universe and world.]
As much as I believe it, it always seems an easy thing to forget at times. ...thank you, Amon.
i've been enjoying it a lot too! i'll consider joining with you
[He knew firsthand. Each day he poured over the numbers of his followers, the organizations he had spread throughout the entirety of Republic City. Every rally he had a head count taken, and every day they gained new members dedicated to putting their lives on the line, until he could say, with full confidence, that their numbers had grown strong enough to finally strike back.
Amon took a step back, staring at the scattered bodies of the monsters that had attacked. The kedan were already in the process of cleaning them away.]
Sabine, know that I'm another among your numbers.
:D
[Realizing that you were standing in the midst of piles of corpses does make things a little awkward. Sabine follows Amon's example, watching as the kedan work.
What Amon says next probably shouldn't have been so surprising, but it's nevertheless unexpected. He may not see her smile, but he can hear the warmth of it in her tone.]
Acknowledged, and very much appreciated. I've got your back too, Amon.
