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!

You'd think it'd be easier than confessing in the first place. [He's trying not to be bitter, really he is. Time to look on the bright side.] At least I know who really cares now. Enough to risk life, limb and pride anyway.
no subject
Ironically, I can relate. The motivation was slightly different. Here I am, ripped in half and it wasn't a Decepticon that came back to retrieve me.
[ which sets the tone entirely. ]
no subject
Ouch! [He can relate to that too. Thanks for that, Overlord!] But Bee did? Heh. [Go figure.] I'm glad he was more himself then. He wasn't so...um...accepting when I joined.
no subject
He did and proceeded to lecture me about how my whole pretense of 'peace through tyranny' is just a lie I cling to. Personally, I figured you would likely get on better with him than Rodimus.
no subject
[No fair, having neat, tidy answers like that.]
Well...at the time Prime was laid out on a slab trying not to die. I imagine that may have colored his mood... [Drift likes to think so anyway.] Not to mention the Swarm...
Rodimus was actually the one who stood up for me when Bee questioned my allegiances. He...understands where I came from, what it was like back then. He said you made him an offer at one point too, in the early days.
no subject
I would think so, but I cannot speak for him.
[ of course there's a little scoff. ]
Rodimus... To be honest, I'm surprised that he would do something so selfless like that. At the same time, I find myself not as surprised. If only I could find out how to nurture that side of him instead of just see his arrogance.
[ a small shrug. ]
He has talent. I wanted that for myself.
no subject
I'm not sure I want to imagine what it would have been like if he'd joined...
[There's a scary thought. And excuse or no, it's better than the one Drift has.]
Well I'm glad Bee treated you better. I mean... [Drift gestures at Megatron] ...if it led to this.
no subject
[ both things are so very true. Megatron, if anything, had been capable of bringing order to many. he is very no nonsense, even on the Lost Light. ]
Anyway, it's not that he treated me any better. No, I would say that, initially, he wanted me dead.
no subject
[ No seriously let's not think about that right now. ]
But...if he did. Why carry you out?
no subject
Necessity? For use of my space bridge? Initially, yes, I think it was simply because I was intended to be used.
[ which, of course, Megatron never needed to agree to. ]
Of course, I could have followed through with my own designs. He wasn't like Prime, though. There wasn't some lofty speech, trying to make me see the error of my ways. Just a look of 'can I trust you' and he left me to it - to either follow his plan or mine.
[ and, in the end, Megatron chose Bumblebee's. ]
