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.

[HOW CAN HE ANSWER. He keeps trying to, before she fires off another question. Finally he'll uh. Go with what he can remember.]

Uh, I didn't eat any stars. It was kind of pretty. And I fought some monsters, sure.

[ WELCOME TO TENZIN & CO'S LIFE. ]

Aw, you should have eaten a few. If you go again will you eat one OH or bring one back and we can eat it together! And Jinora can have some too, I guess! What monsters live on the moon? Were they scary? [ totally settling in for story telling time, you have her full and undivided attention. ]

[Well at least she's sitting down! That's a start. Now how does he sum up one of the most difficult experiences of his life in a way that's age appropriate?]

Well, first of all, you can't eat stars. They're actually massive balls of burning gas that are billions of miles away. [And the ones in the sky here are fake anyway.] So if I brought one of those here, it would kill all three of us. I don't think Jinora would like that.

[ look of complete disappointment. Massive balls of burning gas? Are you sure they aren't made of sugar and true love? ]

But I wanted to use them as ice cubes in moonlight punch. [ pouting now. OH WELL NEW DREAM AHOY ] Weeeell, maybe she would. I mean I think she wants to have a love story where there's like wars or volcanoes and jumping in them. [ lots of hand motions here, from her seat on the ground. Ikki pays only so much attention to Jinora's reading habits. ] But I guess it wouldn't be much fun. But I thought you had a sword from space, Jinora said so. [ so obviously that's true. ] Why didn't you burn up??

[Well that's some crazy insight into the older sister's life. Thanks.]

I do have a space sword. And I was on the moon, remember? The moon is cold, not hot.

[ Ikki is pleased to be of service, of course~ ...wait, were Jinora's romantic fantasies supposed to be secret? OH WELL. ]

Does it shoot space beams? Can it cut through stars? Wait why's the moon cold? It it 'cause of waterbending? Did you have to wear three coats?

Uh, no. My sword just cuts through regular stuff. And the moon is cold because it doesn't have an atmosphere to retain warmth.

[YUP. More boring scientific answers. Isn't he the best.]

[ D: D: D: D: D: D: the seven-year-old airbender looks totally disappointed right now, Sokka. Good job. ]

But it's a space sword.

It can cut through metal! And it's black!

[He pulls it out because the dude always carries it around.]

See?

[ OKAY BACK TO EXCITEMENT, that's pretty cool. ]

Do swordbending, do swordbending!!!

Uh. [Well, he could, but uh. He looks around.] There's no one here to use it on.

[ cut Ikki looking around. Uh, yep. Obviously this calls for her grabbing a stick and brandishing it wildly. ] Well then teach me something!

[Uh. Well. Okay. He puts the sword away and takes out a stick too.]

Alright then. See if you can hit me. But no airbending!

[He even folds his right arm behind his back. He's more or less ambidextrous, but he's still better with his right.]
