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.

Believe me, I've had worse than this.

[To prove it, he'll even straighten his posture as he sits up straight. Time to drink that delicious water.]

Thank you for this; I haven't had water in ages.

[With the young man sitting up she leans back a little to give him space, still close enough to catch him if he looked woozy or dizzy.]

You haven't had water? Were you in the desert before you came here?

[She can't imagine how else he might have gone without something so vital.]

Not good water. The stuff I eat on a daily basis in the land of the dead has everything in it mixed together and that includes water. It's pretty much like... gruel. It's not fun.

This place though... it looks amazing... and the water tops it.

[He's definitely still hurting, but he's not showing it easily.]

...The...land of the Dead?

[That makes her freeze for just a moment, staring hard at the young man as she feels him out with her Death sense. He didn't have the aura of the Dead, nor did he seem to possess the dark powers of Free magic...then again, Death wasn't exactly a 'land' in her world. Perhaps...his was different?]

Are you a necromancer?

I'm a Night Arrow. I pretty much round up and destroy things that go out of control.

Buuut, no. I don't control anything.

A Night Arrow... [The term is unfamiliar, and the description doesn't exactly clarify things all that much either.]

You don't feel Dead to me. How can you be from the land of the Dead and yet be alive?

Because I'm not from there, originally. It's just where I work. It's my job.

[Now that she can understand. With a sigh she relaxes, sitting back a little.]

Ah...so you are like me then.

It depends on how many Echoes you take down, lady.

[He smiles.]

My name is Michael Andrews, by the way. What's yours?

I don't know what 'Echoes' are but it's my job to keep the Dead down in my world.

I am Abhorsen Sabriel, but just Sabriel is fine. It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Andrews.

Likewise, Sabs.

[He puts out a hand to shake.]

Gotta say, this place sure is different then what I'm used to.

['Sabs'? She never thought she'd get so many nicknames. With a small grin she gives his hand a firm squeeze and a shake.]

It takes some getting used to depending on where you come from but most of the time it's not so bad.

I think I could get used to it. I get used to lots of things.

[It looked good so far.]

Good handshake.

It's not just the village and our predicament here that needs adapting, some of the residents can be very...interesting as well.

[She grins.]

Do you think you can sit up?

Only for you, Sabs.

[And he manages it, wincing slightly as his little wings flap.]

And trust me; I'll adjust to anything.

If you say so.

[She watches him as he sits up, a hand out in case he over balanced.]

Then you'll settle in here just fine.

[He takes the hand, smiling.]

Thanks. I appreciate it. I'm sure with people like you to help me, I'll do just fine.

I believe you will, there are a great many kind and generous individuals in the village that are more than happy to help the New Feathers that arrive.
