the luceti test flight meme

Reserves are open and apps are right around the corner. But are you still on the fence about any of your would-be characters? Well -- here is your chance to take them out for a spin!

▣ TAG IN or reply to others with characters you would like to test flight for Luceti.
▣ ONLY add top-level comments for characters who are not yet in the game. You're free to reply to others with Luceti characters (because that's half the fun) but remember that the whole point of this meme is for potential characters.
▣ PLEASE do not post duplicates of characters already in Luceti.
▣ GO AHEAD and give us a brief description of your character in the top-level comment, along with one or two possible ways to run into your test-driven character around town.
▣ YOU MAY use these threads for your first person samples on your app -- just make sure that you link threads of a goodly length (i.e., threads with at least ten comments from your character).

Need a little help getting started? Remember, you needn't post here as though your character is still brand-spankin' new. It'll probably be more fun for all involved if this isn't a simple dress rehearsal for showing up. Here are a few scenario ideas:

o1. The grocery store is out of food. What do you do?
o2. Wing injury! Call for help or stagger your way to one of our fine clinics.
o3. It's a busy evening at Good Spirits, one of Luceti's local bars. Do you dare try the drink specials?
o4. Have a talent for music? Try playing DJ at HQ, the new nightclub! Don't have one? Just dance your butt off.
o5. Beach party? Snow party? Leaf-raking party? Gardening party? YOU DECIDE.

Okay. So my examples are pretty non-exciting. But they're really just suggestions. I'm POSITIVE you kids can come up with more creative things.

Above all? HAVE FUN. Oh. And don't forget to RESERVE your characters.

[Her combat companion today happens to be a rather tall teenager with snow white hair. He isn't terribly good at using the longsword in his hands (which happens to be ON FIRE when he swings it), but he makes up for it with luck, determination, and an array of what seem to be magical spells, ranging from elemental attack magic like Hawke's, to conjuring weapons and creatures to do his bidding.

(The spells, in reality, are a dark power originating from the souls of defeated demons.)

While his expression during combat had been one of intense concentration, now that they have a breather, it immediately swaps to concern as he lowers his weapon, flames dissipating.]

Yes, thank you. Are you alright?

[It's...

It's welcome to stand with a swordsman. He's not as good as her brother. Or Fenris. But, it's still familiar.

The swords are nothing surprising. Maybe that she didn't call them, but, on their own, she's seen too many weapons augmented by magic. And the use of a blade and magic... She's heard stories of mages who wielded weapons, but she's never seen one in practice.

She laughs. A quiet, almost mocking sound.]

I'm fine.

[Soma's sword skills are as good as someone whose only teacher was survival. There's no technique in his strikes and the fact he doesn't have a sheath for the sword is evidence that he's taken it from someone's dead body in a hurry.

While the tone rubs a part of him the wrong way, he's visibly relieved that she seems fine.]

It's really dangerous out here. You should go back where it's safer.

[Never mind the fact that it's been Hawke's spells keeping him on his feet. Or that she's probably more experienced and trained in the art of combat the he is.]

I want you to think about what you just said.

[She looks at him, bright eyes narrowed. She holds up a gloved hand, and a flame sparks over it, flaring up, whipping out but... stopping at the tips of her fingers, just contained.

Her expression... Well. She's still smirking. It's likely not a comforting look.]

Very carefully.

And if you still think it's smart to say, repeat it.

[One warning. That's all people get.

One "I will kill you if you piss me off" then all bets are off.

She thinks it's fair.]

[Soma isn't easily intimidated; usually he's the one who is (unintentionally) the source of intimidation. But he DOES react to the show of fire with an openly surprised expression that's at odds with his tallness and generally serious demeanor.]

Wh-what? Look, I just don't want to see you get hurt.

[no one said Soma is particularly SMART. ]

Yeah. In case you haven't noticed? I have healing magic.

And. Guess what.

I've been hurt a lot worse than anything these things can do, okay?

[Her eyes are narrowed. Sharp and angry.]

I'd say if either of us should be away from the dangerous, scary things, it's you.

[He opens his mouth to protest her words, meaning to go into a spiel about how being used to worse isn't really a valid reason (in his mind) to continue being actively involved in danger, but her next words give him pause. ]

Wait, what? Why me?

[He's completely off guard right now. As far as he's concerned, he'll be fine.]

It's no more dangerous for me than it is for you.

[And, well. As far as she's concerned. She's stronger, more capable with magic, and less likely to get killed anyway.

Though... Well. She's not used to telling people to stay out of a fight. But this is about making a point.]

But...!

[Soma nearly says, "It's still no place for you," but he thinks better of it; she's proven herself to be a perfectly capable fighter. While it's definitely been a nice change having someone to watch his back, it doesn't mean he likes the idea of Hawke possibly getting badly injured because she insists on staying. It keeps him on edge.

(Is this how Mina feels when I go off?)

Soma relents, but the unhappy frown doesn't leave his face when he tightens his grip on his longsword.]

Alright. But if it gets too dangerous, we're running like the wind, okay?
