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.

Seeing as currency is nonexistent in this place... a favor owed will suffice.

[Because there is a line between proper compensation and exploitation and Artemis tries to skirt it and be better than he was in the past.]

If that seems a fair transaction, then we can be in business.

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?

[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.]

[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.]

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?

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.

[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.

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

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