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.

[That's... a pretty good point. It's tough to explain to someone when the whole New York area was on another world entirely.]

Don't you think if I were as bad as the papers say, New York would be completely chaotic? [...] Okay, more chaotic.

[Can't be helped that there's so many supervillains running amok in the city, trying to do a billion different things. Spidey can only be in so many places at once.]

[toosmalltoeat]

Okay.

[Backing up-]

I'm really sor- ack

[-into another stack of books. And now those are toppled over too.]

[azarathmetrionzinthos]

[ paaaause ]

That was "next time," just so you know.

[ casually, she levitates her two book stacks back into place with a crackle of black energy. ]

[toosmalltoeat]

[Vivi would apologize profusely again, but he sees that spell and drops the book he was going to re-stack for her.]

Wow...what's that spell?

[azarathmetrionzinthos]

[ ... well, he does look like he's dressed weirdly for a non-mage. ]

That part isn't a spell. It's an ability of mine.

[toosmalltoeat]

Oh.

[Maybe she doesn't have names for her spells?]

Did you learn it on your own?

[savedtheworld]

[Aang recognizes this person through a previous event, so he knows she's friendly!]

I could use my bending abilities to set up some kind of bonfire for you at the plaza!

[somethingtoavenge]

I thought it'd be something like that.

[Phil doesn't answer right away, running over what he has learned of Luceti and his own private thoughts about the young man.

He's been an agent of SHIELD to long and seen too many things to go in blindly.]

I have a term for the favor. It is non-negotiable. No harm to what I consider civilians. That's all. If it's good with you?

[fowlplots]

[That gets an eyebrow raised. But he nods.]

My interests don't lie in harming innocents, I assure you.

[At least, not since he was 12 years old and decided kidnapping was a good idea. He's learned his lesson.]

Since we have this agreement, it would be prudent to introduce myself. I'm Artemis Fowl.

[He watches for any reactions to the name. His family has an active Interpol file, and this man's demeanor marks him as law enforcement in some capacity.]

[somethingtoavenge]

[Phil gives one of his bland smiles]

Noting personal. Better safe than sorry is a motto I live with.

[Coulson gives no reaction to Artemis Fowl's name. Of course, even if he did recognize it, he wouldn't of reacted.]

Good to meet you. I am Phil Coulson.

[Because he really isn't an Agent of SHIELD at the moment, and introducing himself like that seems... superfluous.]

[womanwattitude]

Well hey there, Sunshine~ [She uses a foot to nudge the chair opposite her out from under the table and gestures to it.] Have a seat.

As for chores, I'm thinking....grocery shopping. I hate grocery shopping. Oooh, or dishes. Maybe even laundry. Things along those lines. You?

yes yes just as planned ◕▽◕

[unfrowning]

Hey, never underestimate the balancing ability of a particularly floppy doll! [Pocketing the harmonica though. And smiling at Czes.] Practice makes perfect, right? Maybe you'll turn out to be a natural!

[unfrowning]

[Aaand Shinji gets an extra wide smile at that.]

It is!

[fowlplots]

I understand completely, one can't be too careful. There are a great number of devious minds loose in the world.

[Oh irony.]

Now, Mr. Coulson. What sort of technical specifications do you have for your taser? Beyond being capable of reducing someone to a drooling mess on the carpet?

[somethingtoavenge]

Yes, there are. I have run into more than I care to actively remember.

[There is something really wry in Coulson's tone.]

Adjustable volt settings would be nice, up to fatal. I prefer a hand held taser instead of the gun versions. Other than that... I'll trust you're judgment.

[kineticcajun]

[...Remy, this is why the Guild can always get you to come back. You're a complete sucker for this kind of stuff.]

Only other t'ings. Don't work on anythin' livin', jus' stuff like this bottle.

[That, and he can light up his eyes, but that tends to happen without any conscious thought on his part. And while he's admittedly a total showoff and loves to make things go boom, he's curious here:]

You mentioned magic earlier? You do any?

[fowlplots]

[Handheld. He could adapt a design from the LEP buzz batons in that case. Size it up to fit an adult male's grip...]

Understood, Mr. Coulson. I'll contact you when I have a prototype constructed for you to test.

[somethingtoavenge]

I look forward to hearing from you then, Mr. Fowl.

[Hopefully after learning more about the young man by then.]

[womanwattitude]

[Amused? You bet.] Not a fan of the view, huh?

[snikting]

Last I checked, it was plenty chaotic already. [He's going to stand up now. Not as close to the webbing. Claws still extended.]

I've heard that you're some kind of vigilante hero too.

[snikting]

[He gives her a skeptical look at first. Sour as he is, there's nothing quite like being invited over by an attractive woman. Even if he's not quite putting on his most charming front yet. He does take a seat.]

I'm not exactly the dish washing type.

[cannoneer]

That's what I thought.

[Smug. Yeah, we're the same. Just tech instead of magic. Deal with it.]

[livesinatree]

I do! ... Sort of.

I'm still kind of learning.

[kineticcajun]

Like some kinda magic school?

[With Harry Potter people running around this place, why not.]

[livesinatree]

'School'?
