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.

I do too. I fear if I stay here too long I might allow my thoughts to stray.

[So Billy was just. Casually passing by. Nothing unusual, it's a normal day, nice and sunny, everything's awesome, Spider-Man is in a hammock by that tree, the breeze is- holy hell Spider-Man is in a hammock by that tree, what.]

S... Spider-Man!?

Straying thoughts are not necessarily bad. There is wisdom in seeing different perspectives.

No, thoughts are supposed to stay focused. As a sign that we're better than animals and such.

If I may ask, are you truly so content following the directions given to you without giving them any further thought?

[Eleytheria is making a trip into the village today too. While he prefers to stay away from crowds and away in the wilderness, he does find himself curious about the people and interactions that take place.

Like this place. So full of fresh food, the smell was definitely inviting, even to one who didn't necessarily have to eat to survive. He doesn't want to get in the way of course and so just stays to one side, watching as... this small girl helps herself to the goods. Is this how things work here? You take what you want?

It's then he notices the horn on her head. Perhaps she wasn't entirely human either...]

[This was a test. He looked her in the eye.]

Yes, fully.

Eidolons? Well... they're like these big old mythical beasts you call forth with summoning magic, of course! Usually they'll aid the summoner that calls on their powers.

[It probably isn't much of an explanation, but it makes sense to Eiko. While she's only six, she can elaborate more if prompted. It just hasn't occured to her!]

So you've practiced summoning before? What kind of magic do you use besides that?

My dog obeys orders without question.

No, tell a lie, she'll disregard me from time to time.

[She looks right back. Go on, prove you're better than an animal.]

Dogs can also work their way up to human status in their next lives.

[Eiko... is currently busy nabbing everything in sight and hasn't picked up on the fact someone is currently lurking behind her. After she fills up her basket, she'll try to lift it up... to no avail. In the midst of grabbing everything in a frenzy, it seems Eiko hasn't quite taken the basket's weight into account. Well now, this might be a bit tricky. Let's try that again, shall we?

... Nope, can't lift it. Well, darn, Eiko's sure in a pickle here!]

Geez...! It's way too heavy! How am I going to lug this back now?

[Wow. Is it just Eiko's luck, or did she keep missing all her friends for some reason?]

Well, I've been here in Luceti a while. Just adjusting and all that. But wow, Dagger, I never even knew you were here too! You should've told me sooner.

[The Spirit watches as the little girl struggles to lift the basket's weight. He's sure someone would come along to help her at any moment. Right?

Well... maybe not. She still seems to be struggling and he seems to be the only one who has noticed thus far. But though some part of him wished to help the girl to carry the goods, he wasn't really supposed to interfere. He wasn't supposed to get too close either.

Hm, perhaps he can just give some advice. He approaches her now, a light breeze whirling around his feet.]

If you were to put some of it back, it would lessen the load. [He suggests, as if that wasn't obvious.]

I'm sorry. I'm still not used to communicating this way. [meaning the journals]

Th-thanks. I think.

We don't usually have them. I mean -- these are new. Well. Not new. Relatively new. I'm kinda used to them, now. Three years'll do that to you.

Speaking inclusively, I do suppose our very hypothetical theif could also be a he. In fact, I've made the aquaintence of several competant he-grifters in my time.

Awh!

[ the woman gushes, leaning to the left and watching the cat stalk off. ] He's simply trying to show his love. You should be more appreciative, you know.

[Hm, to say or not to say the nasty retort that comes to mind? Once upon a time Neji would have let it rip with no second thoughts, but this is the kinder, gentler Neji that's not into things like almost murdering cousins and verbally abusing teammates.]

And if that happens, you'll enjoy the right to brag all about it. But considering that you don't even have any competition for this, you could ease off a little. You're disturbing the other people here, especially when you get started before dawn.

[It's always a good sign to hear someone recognize the good ol' red and blue, but at the same time, that could be really bad. But this is no voice he recognizes, so there's probably no immediate threat. Nothing on the Spidey Sense, anyway.]

In the flesh! And in the hammock made of webbing wearing a costume that covers all of the flesh. But you get the idea. [Have a wave.]

[It's not her fault she overdoes it a lot! ...Okay, yes it is.]

I was trying to make the game's table even.

Don't you think I would have done something already if I could?

[Pout! Jeez it's not like she'd leave a mess and expect someone to clean it up for her! -Well maybe she would, but that's not the point!]

No, it's electricity.

Yes! Yes, this is going to be so cool!

[CELEBRATORY JUMPING AND PUMPING FISTS INTO THE AIR.]

Yeah! Means I can bend more than one element, kid.

[Korra produces a ball of fire in her hand to light the room.]

Did you drop it?
