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.

I can't feel the Charter. I have wings. Is this Ancelstierre? How did I get here?

Help?

The... Charter? Are you a friend of Sabriel's?

She's my Queen, and the Abhorsen. You know her?

[ And her half-sister, but we can get to that in a bit. ]

A queen? I didn't know Sabriel was a queen. But yeah! We've met a few times since I arrived here. She's very nice.

She's here too? [ And has been for a while? This makes no sense. ] And where is "here"?

I'm sorry! I should have explained first. This place is called Luceti. All of us come from different worlds, and we're all pulled here for... I don't know why, but we're trapped here. There should be more information in a Guide within your journal. And yeah, Sabriel's one of the people here. She likes to talk about that Charter thing, so I knew you knew her!

[The Charter...]

Do you know Sabriel?

I know of her.

[Close enough.]

She'll be able to tell you about the Charter then, better than anyone else here.

...It's not your home, or anyone's home, and it's called Luceti.

[ The queen is here, has been here for long enough for people to know her which makes no sense, this is not th Old Kingdom or Ancelstierre... And there is this other thing. ]

Do you know why I have wings?

Why do any of us have wings? The doctors haven't figured it out, but we are given to us when they arrive.

[Short. Simple. Brief. No, he's not an avid speaker.]

[ Neither is she so that works well for her. ]

Um... and you are?

Viral. [Rhymes with 'virile.'] A...friend of Sabriel's.

[The word was uttered as if it were completely foreign...for a man that only knew how to fight, it was.]

And you?

Edited 2012-06-19 20:58 (UTC)

[ To her it sounds more like he's um... well, a friend if you catch her drift, which is confusing since as far as she knows Sabriel is married to the king and has two children with him. ]

Lirael. How long have you known her? Sabriel, I mean.

Almost two months now. She invited me to use a room in her home, and wouldn't accept argument. Why?

Then it's probably not the Sabriel I was talking about, and I'm sorry for misleading you. People would have noticed if the queen was gone for two months.

[As soon as the words "Charter" and "Ancelstierre" come through the feed Sabriel jumps to reply, flicking on her camera as she answers.]

We are all taken from our homes and left here by some magic or scientific process unique to this world. We aren't in the Old Kingdom or Ancelstierre but...this place is something of a mix of the two places.

Are you from the Old Kingdom?

[ After living a whole life among people who look completely opposite to her, it feels strange to see someone who looks so much like her, and to hear that person still speak such familiar words. ]

Yes. I'm... one of the Clayr.

[ She hesitates to admit it, but it's probably a bad idea to keep things from someone who could possibly help her. Still, it stings. No mother, no father, no sight. ]

You are? I was supposed to meet with one of you before I came here.

[Sabriel's never seen one of the Clayr before but she is familiar with their usually appearance...although perhaps that didn't apply to every single member of the Clayr. Still, the dark hair and pale skin of the other woman is almost unsettling-ly familiar, the only other person she'd known to be so dark and pale was her father.

How curious. In any case Sabriel greets the woman with a small smile.]

Then we are well met. I am Abhorsen Sabriel.

[ Yes, hello, time for Lirael's brain to break a little. ]

Your... majesty?

[ One must say that the Queen is beyond well preserved. ]

[And here's where her own starts to clunk.]

...Pardon?

[ This should be fun. ]

Well... that is how you address your queen, isn't it?

[ Granted she's not very good with polite speech. Or speech in general. ]

I can only assume, but the Old Kingdom hasn't had a king or queen in two hundred years.

[...hang on a moment.]

...Are you from the past then? Time is funny in Luceti, it draws people from all points of time be it one person's past or another's future.

[But...huh, that still doesn't make sense, why had she called her 'Majesty?']

Oh! Well, King Touchstone is the first to sit on the throne for... well, two hundred years. He regained it after you... Well, after someone called Sabriel defeated one of the greater dead. Kerrigor.

[ Why doesn't she know this? Perhaps this Sabriel is the one who os from the past. Or maybe she's from the future, though it is disheartening to think that the kingdom will be without ruler once more. ]

[Ah hah, please don't mind while Sabriel stares at you in silence for a good moment or two. Thanks to Luke Skywalker, Sabriel had become aware that her endeavor to defeat Kerrigor would succeed but she didn't know anything about what would happen in the world after that.]

Touchstone reclaimed his throne? And I really...Kerrigor has been banished?
