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??
(Please note: This scenario isn't applicable to becoming game canon if you choose to app your character, as an alien pterosaur attack is a major event.)
- 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!

And then when they come to a stop, he steps out directly behind the prospective thief and makes a loud remark.
"It isn't nice to steal things from people, you know."

Nobody ever expects to get their feet swept out from under them by a guy with a limp and a cane. But then it happens and you feel like a damn fool.
Sweep the leg, Alex! No, not that one.Once the wannabe thief hits the ground, Conklin plants his boot - his very obvious prosthetic foot - on the small of the kedan's back, and smirks. "Naughty, naughty. Didn't your mother ever teach you to respect your elders?"
Then he looks at the kid. Christ, he can't be much older than Jamie, David's son, who he'd give his life to protect - and nearly had. "What d'you think you're doing, following a thief into an alleyway?"
no subject
Conan delivers the line blandly, without showing any hint of remorse.
"But that was done really well! Do you have a lot of practice doing this kind of thing?"
no subject
Speaking of which...he lets the thief up, and the kedan gets to his hands and knees, groaning. "Scram," Conklin says, giving the thief a not-so-light tap in the behind with said prosthetic foot, and the kedan wastes no time in getting out of there. He's obviously outclassed.
There's something off about the kid, though. Conklin files that gut feeling in his mental Rolodex
of Hateand studies the boy. "Got a name, o curious one?"no subject
"Conan Edogawa. I'm an elementary school detective from Japan."
tw: past alcoholism mentioned
If Conan seems older than his years, Conklin seems younger than his own. A renewed sense of purpose will do that to you - but there's also the evidence of hard living about him, independent of his injury. Several years (almost a decade in the past) of alcohol abuse will do that to you, too.
no subject
"I'm an amateur detective," he says with some annoyance. "At home there are a lot of teenage detectives who assist the police with difficult cases. Private individuals also ask them to look into things. I just got started on it younger than most. I mostly assist other detectives."
By solving the cases for them and then letting them think it was their own idea all along.
no subject
Addition to Rolodex: what the hell is going on in Japan.
"So what, they don't have child labor laws where you come from?" His tone's obviously teasing. "C'mon, kid, walk with me."
no subject
Conan didn't really have a reason to stick around in the alley, so he nods and steps closer.
no subject
They move out of the alley. "Been here long?"

Jason will defeat Carlos. He has to believe that. But he can't do anything about it here.
