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.

[THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT A FAKE-CYBORG WOULD SAY. :|] You think they know what they're talking about?

I just think Slade's got more style than this. [He turns to the side, showing off those dumb blue wings on his back.]

It's exactly like him to find a new way to keep us weak.

Are you sure you watched him die? [and come back as a zombie or what was that even about HE IS GOING TO SIDE-EYE RAVEN FOREVER. :|]

He's gone, Rob. You really gotta let this thing go.

[The team needs their leader, bad guys or not. And Robin hasn't exactly been inspiring confidence. All this time alone has made him worse than when he first left Gotham.]

I don't have to let anything go.

[He is THE MOST INSPIRING LEADER EVER. Cy's just not appreciating how right he is.]

You don't have to worry about it if you don't want to. I'll figure it out myself.

You know that's not how the team works.

[Arms crossed. Don't make him take over the team. Even if it's apparently just the three of them.]

[Five if you count Katara and Aang. Oh and then there's Roxas. And Anita. They're all pretty solid in their own respects. Robin just hasn't made the Luceti-branch Titans an official thing yet.]

That's how it's going to have to work if you keep ignoring the obvious answer.

[Uh huh. He'll believe it when he sees it.]

The obvious answer is that it's someone new. We don't always do reruns.

Someone new wouldn't already know everything about us.

Haven't you heard? We're in comic books.

[He saw one. Apparently he's a founding member of the Justice League. How cool is that?]

I know. Got a stack of them in my room.

I think they're meant to mess with us.

It sounds like it doesn't take much to mess with you lately.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means you're so obsessed you can't even think straight. What happened to the Robin that considered every possibility?

[Did the oddly-expressive mask cover up the way his eye's started twitching? He hopes so.]

I am not obsessed! There's nothing obsessive about following my gut.

It's always Slade. This time is no different from any of the others. They're all on his payroll.

You're so busy thinking about Slade, you haven't stopped to think that any of this could be real. That maybe we'd do more good if we started acting on what's right in front of us and not just what's in your head.

[After seeing Robin at his worst about this, after that incident with the Slade mask, he's not so inclined to just take Robin's word when it comes to Slade.]

That's because it's not real, Cyborg. It's an elaborate VR setup, or some kind of magic, or... Something else! [Anything else. anything with a practical application that involves Slade getting a free ride all over Jump City for at least a year. It's not obsessing when it's the obvious truth whatever, Cy.]

You know what? Even if it is Slade, he's got you right where he wants you, man. So obsessed with him you can't think about anything else. You're letting him win.

The only thing that's come close to letting him win is the day I let you in here. Stop fighting me on this, Cyborg. I know what I'm doing.

Oh, so now I'm the problem? Listen to yourself, man.
