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.

Theodore | Persona 3 Portable

[canteachyoumore]

[The thing that had perplexed Theodore most was not the wings (those were on many Personas and if it was the usual here it was the usual here! Even if by some... inhumane means) but the fact you could simply have anything you wished and without a fee! How did they give back to the spi--

Is that a fountain.

That is a fountain.

Ah, this is certainly how! He discreetly wanders over to the large fountain with a too-knowing smile on his face, reaching for--

... That's right. There was no money here. The few-hours-New Feather will just sit on the lip of the fountain and try to figure out how, exactly, people thanked the spirits of the fountain and asked for their wish to be granted. He's quite disappointed, you see, almost in a pout-stage.]

[shinesbrightest]

[Shinji was just kind of minding his own business, but when he sees the guy over by the fountain with such a disappointed look on his face, he feels like he can't really ignore him... So he walks over to see what's up.]

Is something the matter?

[canteachyoumore]

[Oh goodness an individual, play it cool and compose yourself Theodore!!]

Not at all! I was merely consulting the spirits of this fountain and wondering what good it was to wish upon them if there was no money to pay the fee needed.

[He is so smart and matter-of-fact yes.]

[shinesbrightest]

Um... spirits? [Theodore sure sounds like he knows what he's talking about, but this is definitely the first time Shinji's hearing about them.] I didn't know there were any spirits here.

[canteachyoumore]

Of course there are. Why else would there be such a shrine for them? Your kind doesn't do things without reason. [Perfect. Your knowledge of the outside world will allow you to succeed, Theodore!]

[shinesbrightest]

I... guess I never really thought about it before. [He's not sure he totally understands, but this guy might have a point.] Well, if you can't use money, maybe you should use something else?

[canteachyoumore]

[But what else would they want... Food, perhaps? They must eat! All entities do.]

Yes, you're right. Maybe they would like some food! Even spirits get hungry, I'm sure.

[He stands and... has no idea what way might lead him to his bartering tool.] Let's see... It wouldn't be too far from the fountain, would it.

[shinesbrightest]

Y-you're not thinking of putting food in the fountain, are you? [He can see where he's coming from, but... 8|] I was thinking something like... rocks or stones.

[canteachyoumore]

[Rocks... or stones...

...

Keep your cool, Theodore! Don't... look so disappointed.]

Y-Yes, of course! What need would water spirits have for food? Rocks and the like would be much preferred, I think. And there's plenty of that around, making it easy currency between the realms. Shall we gather some?

[shinesbrightest]

Sure. [Shinji smiles a little at him, trying to be encouraging. Don't be disappointed, Theodore!] Did you already have a wish in mind?

[canteachyoumore]

[You're such a nice boy, Shinji. Your words and smile cheer him right up!] In fact, I do! I came prepared this time. Do you have one as well?

[shinesbrightest]

[He shakes his head.]

I've never made a wish like this before. But I can think of something while we gather stones, I guess.

[canteachyoumore]

It'll be my first time as well. And that's very well of you, sir, it would be most unwise to give an offering and not have a wish in mind.

[... Speaking from experience, of course. Let's move further towards the forest to look for pretty stones.]

[emp3thy]

[This person...

...heavily reminds Minato of someone else, which is initially why he approaches. After a minute of watching, though, he's just curious as to what the man is thinking about.]

Making a wish?

[canteachyoumore]

[... Well, don't you feel familiar, former-honored guest of the Velvet Room. It kind of puts him on edge for a reason he can't exactly explain, but it makes him kind of comforted as well.]

I have one in mind, of course, but the payment is something I've been dwelling on. What is used here instead of money? It seems... odd to me.

[emp3thy]

[well then they can just keep going with this mutual odd familiarity for a while... Minato sticks his hands in his pockets.]

You could just wish. The fountain catches more New Feathers than anything else.

[canteachyoumore]

Absolutely not. It isn't fair to the water spirits of this fountain to simply wish and not give something in return!

[Frowning at you, Minato! Honestly, did you know nothing? This is a simple fact of life.]

[emp3thy]

[...]

How about wishing for them to tell you what they want?

1/2

[canteachyoumore]

[you smartass]

... I suppose that works well enough. And then I'll bring them twice that in order to insure their favor for my second wish.

[DON'T MESS HIM UP okay okay you clasp your hands together, just like at the shrine, and... you don't speak your wish allowed, right. Oh, and eyes closed in concentration!

Well, he'll mutter it at least. In case they're hard of hearing.] Fountain spirits, answer me this: What would you prefer for someone to pay in order to have you grant their wish?

[canteachyoumore]

[.....................]

How long does it take for a wish to be granted, exactly?

[his third wish will be about this oddly familiar feeling he has about the boy.]

[emp3thy]

Depends on the wish.

[...maybe he shouldn't mess so much with this guy. He seems more serious than Elizabeth, despite the heavy resemblance in other ways.]

But I think that meant they don't need payment.

[canteachyoumore]

[Theodore looks back at the water, dipping his hand in it unhappily. Seventy-two degrees. Back home, it'd been a payment system. So why not here? Would it not be stronger here with so little city to crowd them out?]

What gracious spirits they are, then! I'm sure they're thankful that people... wish for things, then. To be remembered.

[Why, doesn't that sound solemn. But he straightens up the next moment and lays his hand out to dry. There's something he's got to ask.]

Pardon the intrusive question, but you are a guest of the Velvet Room, are you not?

[emp3thy]

[The question doesn't really seem surprising by now... more like inevitable.]

I was.

[canteachyoumore]

[It feels good to be right. Though, a former guest... What's the protocol for this? Well, he'll just have to make his own. Though Master Igor might not be too happy about that. And, because he can't see Margret taking on a guest:]

To Elizabeth, I presume. I am Theodore, her brother and secondary resident of the Velvet Room. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Master..?

[emp3thy]

[Theodore...

It's also not unexpected. And it explains the extreme resemblance.]

Right. I'm Minato... Minato Arisato.

[.....] My sister's told me about you.

[Theo should probably be fortunate he'd heard things from Minako and not Elizabeth.]
