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.

[My spidey sense is tingling! That's no good, and Spider-Man knows it. He jumps up a bit, standing on the hammock with the balance of a circus act.]

And who are you supposed to be? The nap time police?

[Kurt's better at that than you, buddy. 8|]

You just happened to be someone I recognize. Spider-Man, right?

[Prrrobably is. But hey, at least Spidey's got some grace rather than none. Doesn't look all ridiculous, standing in a web hammock.

And he's eying those claws pretty closely.] Yeah, that's right. You're not gonna try to start a brawl with me, are you? Because fixing the suit from shredding doesn't sound like a field day around here.

I thought I'd see if the Daily Bugle had the right idea about you.

[Claws are still there, yeah. Look how the sun reflects off them.]

You and everyone else. [He can relax, just a little. If this guy was open enough to see about that, then maybe Spidey doesn't have to worry about cleaning up some claw wounds later.]

The Bugle's got the right pictures, but the pickle puss in charge pretty much prints the opposite of what happens. What can I say? It's like a tabloid sometimes.

... He probably doesn't like me calling him pickle puss either, now that I think about it.

[Logan does not look overtly convinced. Though he is weighing the information. Mutants tend to get the same wrap, after all.]

So you're blaming it all on bad publicity? Convenient.

[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.]

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.

[Having the guy stand up and now threaten to send Spidey plummeting below to his... slight pain from a ten foot fall makes him ease up more. This guy doesn't seem too bad.]

Ding ding ding! That's the label I'm looking for! Wish the Bugle would go along with it too, but hey, can't always get what you want. Learned that the hard way.

[That ten foot fall would be followed by a metal man landing on him. With claws. So it was really intimidating. Really.]

Yeah. That's something I'm used to. [He sheathes his claws. Right into his hands. How about that.]

[Wait until Spidey figures that all out, really.]

Get the same treatment elsewhere? [Okay. Claws right into the hands. What's with the weird genetic experiments everywhere he goes?] Uh... I'm guessing that's not a magic trick.

No. Not a magic trick.

[He crosses his arms. Because yeah, he's not going to talk about it. Or the part about experiencing similar hatred.]

I'll be taking your word for it now, kid.

[But he's keeping his eye on you. Damn hoodlum kid.]

Ohhh, I get it. You're the grumpy gills type of guy. Don't worry, buddy.

[His eyes narrow, but it's obviously out of amusement.] Your secret's safe with me. [This is why Spider-Man drives people into a blind rage.]

Easy, bub.

[Fair warning. Wolverine is not someone you want to see in a blind rage.]

[Ah, right. The whole taunting bit is for the baddies, not the guys with metal claws that aren't going to attack.]

I hear you, I hear you.
