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.

[Well, that explosion was nearby and shards of glass rain down on the vampire as he walks by. Instinctively he raises his cape to protect himself, and most of the shards simply bounce harmlessly off him.]

What in Hades was that?!

[Val spins around to the house as smoke billows from inside. Was someone under attack? And who attacked him with shards of glass?! It was worth investigating. He drew his sword and moved to the door, kicking it open dramatically.]

[Rorona is a few feet away from the door, covered in soot and coughing (and crying a little over the synthesis she just totally botched), when the door is suddenly kicked open.

So, naturally, she screams out of surprise.]

[But through the sunlight coming in from the door, the smokey-ness of the room, and how rattled she is from her failed synth, she only notices key things about the person who just kicked open the door.

They have pointy ears.

They have red eyes.

They're pale.

Sure, the hair color's wrong and they're too tall, but those features plus the explosion plus how badly she's wanted to see him again---]

H- ... Hom?!

[And with that, Rorona bursts into tears and charges at Val with an attempt at a tight hug.

Because you are clearly the homunculous her master made for her and then cruelly took away, not a vampire tyrant who just happened to pass by. Obviously.]

[Valvatorez blinks as he's wrapped into a hug by a crying human girl... even if that girl is actually a fully-grown woman. He's pretty startled by this, and ends up dropping his blade to the floor with a clatter.]

...W-what is the meaning of this, lass?

[Unfortunately, Rorona's not listening to Val in the least - in her mind, her precious little Hom crossed over time and space and came back to her and she was totally going to get it to call her "big sister" this time and it'd help her with her alchemy again and and and--]

Ahhh, H-Hom ... I've missed you so much! And for you to end up here of all places too-- After all this time-- a-and, I-- ...

[And she's crying more. And being kind of obnoxious about it.]

[Reluctantly, Val inevitably makes it worse by gently, and hesitantly, consoling the poor girl by stroking the back of her head. It's rare he'd feel such sympathy for a human, but whomever this Hom person was must've been very, very important to her.

But he can't give the girl false hope. It wouldn't be right.]

...I believe you have mistaken me for someone else.

H-Huh?

[... Wait, that's not Hom's voice. Not at all. So, Rorona does the one thing she should've done in the first place.

Actually gets a good look at him.]

Oh ... [Wait, she's hugging a guy she doesn't know who--] AHH!

[She immediately lets go and takes a step back.]

S-sorry! Um, it ... seems I really did mistaken you for someone else. So um ... sorry for that! Now I'm really embarrassed ...

[She's trying to keep an upbeat tone about it, but she does seem pretty disappointed anyway. More disappointed than sorry, at least. This guy doesn't seem to mind much, anyway.]

It's nothing.

[Well, except the tears on his clothes. Well, those will dry eventually. He crouches down to take his sword back up and sheathes it for the moment.]

I heard an explosion. I see you're not hurt, but what happened here?

Explosion?

[What explo-- OH.]

Ohhh, that explosion. Well, you see, I was just doing my alchemy synthesis, as usual, when I thought I saw something outside the window! So when I looked, I might have put a little too much powder into my cauldron, and ...

[She trails off, looking around the room. Nothing's on fire or anything, but even the ceiling is stained with soot.]

This is going to take forever to clean again.

Alchemy? A human performing alchemy? ...I thought that practice fell out of favor centuries ago.

[...Humans practicing Alchemy. That was a better time. A lot better than the modern era where they create their own monsters...]

Did it? I don't remember my master telling me anything like that ...

[ ...! ]

Ohhh, that's right. Maybe that just happened in your world, but not mine! I mean, not very many people can do alchemy in my country, but it's not unheard of.

Right, that whole... other world thing.

[That takes some getting used to. How annoying.]

So Alchemy is a legitimate science in your world? In mine, it was what humans practiced before the hard sciences were discovered. Some dreamed of turning lead into gold. Is that what you do?

Well, I can do that, but only if I need gold for another synthesis. Like a golden pie, for example!

...A golden pie. Who could possibly eat that?

Anyone could! It's actually really tasty, even if you feel guilty about it later.

[Curiosity has been piqued. He doesn't know better to doubt when she says it is, in fact, edible.]

Really? What does it taste like?

[Oh no, it actually is edible! ... She just can't eat it herself without thinking about how the amount of gold used in it could feed 10 families for a month.]

It's a little hard to explain ... It's one of those "you gotta try it yourself" things.

Hm, so it's like a sardine, then.

Sardine?

... But I don't use any fish in it.

I meant that one can only truly appreciate the flavor by tasting it themselves.

Oh ... Well, I guess so. I don't think it's the same kind of thing, though. [ ... ] Are sardines really that special?

Are sardines that...

[He's almost incredulous at that question.]

Of course they're that special! Sardines are a superfood! They are rich in essential components of well-being, like Vitamin D, Calcium, Vitamin B12, Omega-3s, and vital protein needed to build and maintain proper muscular health!

They are truly worthy of their name in Kanji! "Fish-Strong!"

... Wow, you really know a lot about sardines, don't you? I-I had no idea they were that good for you!

[... but what's a kanji and can she make a pie out of it]

They are! Everyone should eat them and enjoy the nutritional power they give you!

[If anyone could make a pie out of them, though... it'd be her.]
