the luceti test drive meme

Reserves have just opened 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 drive 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 playing music? Try Cloud Nine's open mic night!
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.

[...well, that was a strange reaction.

Katara will gloss over it. Because she's a boss.]

It's nice to meet you, Asami. Welcome to Luceti, if you haven't had the speech yet.

[Her hand brushes against her waterskin as she gives a wry shrug.]

[niceguypose]

Ahhh.

[He stares, briefly hypnotized by the hand, before snapping back to reality.]

It was by Konoha! He was giving me a variety of advanced training techniques in preparation for the war.

[klarion]

[He wrinkles his nose, and Teekl has to rub against his neck to get him from flying off on a tangent. She constantly had to remind him that they were stuck here with these stupid little brats...]

If it's so boring, maybe something should be done about that.

[He glances up at the nearby streetlight remnants, still smoking and sparking. It doesn't take much to replace a few burnt-out lights with red flames.]

[niceguypose]

That sounds like a wonderful training exercise! I would like to play it. I will avoid the stinking ball!

[powdersup]

Thank you - I got that a while ago [two weeks from the prompt but oh well what is timelines] but-

[...She can't not ask, can she?] You... wouldn't happen to be a master waterbender, would you?

[sthenic]

Uh... Konoha's kinda far off, don't you think?

Sir Edward Pellew - Horatio Hornblower

[admiralpellew]

[Admiral Pellew was, to say the least, upset. Finding himself on the shore in an entirely inappropriate state of undress and graced with wings was NOT how he'd expected to begin his day.

There was something akin to panic when a shift from his side to his back brought about a stab of pain, revealing the all-too-sensitive wings settled there, but he was a military man above all else. So, despite his growing apprehension, he gets himself to his feet and surveys his surroundings. A beach. Three boats, moored at the docks, and a ship anchored out at sea...though it was not flying any colors that he could see.

He could think of no reason why he would be stranded here, or why there was no one else within hailing distance...either friend or foe...but unless he chose to doubt his senses, here he was, all the same]

[tsuntrader]

...I'm guessing you're from a world with birds that aren't quite as [dumb, showy, quirky, normal-] articulate.

[Rock Lee is at a nearby rack, examining a one piece bathing suit that is as green as his jumpsuit.]

Ah! This might just fit me!

[chartthestars]

[If Silver is irritated by either interruption, he doesn't show it. He's had worse things thrown at his skull in his five decades of life, and he'd much prefer it be some harmless gadget or other that's more blunt than it is sharp.]

Think nothin' of it, lass. [He chuckles, both eyes wandering over to her basic communicator.] Ain't no harm that's been done. Such pieces of gadgetry are tricky beasts t'tame n' bring t'foot even when they're behavin' proper and ain't being put t'use on a planet like this that makes their wires sensitive.

[He turns round on his stool, adjusting the position of his peg leg to a comfortable angle, letting his cybernetic hand rest on the bar.]

I don't suppose it's ever worked here? Or has it always been an impudent troublemaker?

[markofthebrave]

[Blink. Blink blink blink.

Going very still, Katara tilts her head to the side and looks up at the taller girl.]

Yes, I am - but most people don't even know what a waterbender is.

[Seriously, you would NOT BELIEVE how many times she's had to give out that speech.]

[powdersup]

[Asami's a quick (enough) study. She's still not entirely positive if she'll need to straight up program in a satomobile or not, but at least she knows the terrain and track and all that. It's still not natural to have to keep glancing between the controls and notes, but she's getting used to it by the time Ginia holds up the last one and-]

Oh... no, thank you for teaching me. You've been very patient to write all this.

[...Which. might have been rude? She kicks herself mentally, she's not normally this offbase]

[markofthebrave]

[Delight (which will be shortly followed by horror) spreads over Katara's face]

Are you from my world?

[markofthewise]

[He makes a show of cracking his fingers away from him. It's not complicated for him to do this, but he does like to show off. So with a smirk, he runs through the appropriate keystrokes to disable hostiles. And he gets a good glimpse at what she's setting up.]

A racer, huh? Those look like some nice cars.

[zumo]

[Deja vu?

Now he's just kicking himself. Dammit, Hijikata, you always manage to not realize when people are talking about the goddamn cat.

Also, strangely cheerful new guy, why are you crooning over this cat, don't you know it's evil?

...Wait, you like the cat? Want to take him away?

But he gives no indication that he's thinking these particular thoughts. Instead, he'll manage a nod in greeting, albeit with a slightly pained expression.]

Unfortunately, yeah, I do. He lives in my apartment. [And gives Hijikata no shortage of hair-pulling opportunities. He's woken up with the thing hogging his pillow more than once. When he absolutely knows he closed his bedroom door. Thank you, Souji.]

[powdersup]

How did he do that?!

[Okay no she blurted it out. oops. And she's actually looking intently at the weird no-tailed Murk...crow]

[cannotcrossdress]

[Just because they're in a new place--especially because they're in a new place!!--doesn't mean they can just let things go!

Don't worry about it, Okita. Chizuru's here now. Everything will be spik-and-span in a matter of hours! She'll even do the kitty box for you. That's love.

Making her way across the line where the wall meets the floor, she scooches along until--oop!]

Ha--? [She peers over her shoulder curiously.] O-Okita-san!

[How long were you staring? =A=]

[powdersup]

[Oh lucky, that guy found something sensible to wear. She actually glances over at it]

[keepitcanine]

[fighting the urge to roll his eyes.]

Glad I can fulfill one of your life's ambitions or whatever.

[televisioned]

[HE IS PERTURBED. But making her laugh was a good thing, he's sure. Rogue wasn't exactly the comic relief character.]

Should I take that as a yes? My friend Troy and I have a bet running.

[They also have one on who would win in a fight between Rogue and Wolverine, but at least he's tactful enough not to ask that yet.]

[fujoshiqueen]

[There's a girl not much older than Len hovering over her shoulder while she looks for metal scraps in the shop. Don't mind her, she's just getting into everyone's business.]

What are you doing? Are you trying to build a robot?

[floralogy]

Now you're just-- [Okay, Ino, stop. Breathe.] --Tell you what, I think Gai-sensei would never be disappointed in you. You're hardworking [too much for your own good] and loyal. You're one of his best students.

[powdersup]

Yeah- It took me a while to find the right model, but she runs really well. [She would normally... take more pride in it being her father's work but. Welp, things with her father are a bit strained as of. A while]

Beast Boy | Teen Titans

[kicksbutt]

[Well, to be fair for the last week that Beast Boy's been around the village he's been shifting into different birds and animals to get by and entertain himself. This place? Sure, great, he's all cool with nature but it's not the Tower and it lacks certain things.

You know, like good video games.

However, he's getting hungry and so he's out in the village today...when it dawns on him...]

Dude, are you telling me there's only one pizza place?

D for dumb

[shipsurgeon]

[What are you doing?

What.
What.


What are you doing?]

...You won't catch it.
