it's time once again for a...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. Oh. And don't forget to RESERVE your characters.

Varric can't exactly say he's happy to be back, but then again, there's plenty of interesting folks in Luceti.
Right now, though, having returned pretty recently, he feels more like getting drunk than digging up dirt on the residents. So, he walks into Good Spirits and...sort of crawls up one of the bar stools.]
Surprise me, barkeep.
no cat icons
A small black cat hops up from behind the counter and finds himself in front of Varric. Oh.
Kuppuru here will sit and stare for a moment. Hi. ]
i forgive you i guess
Gotta be honest, that's...not quite what I meant.
[Frankly, he's not the cat person. Anders is. But this particular cat is just...chilling, and staring at him. So:]
You who I talk to about a glass of Montsimmard red?
[Not that they actually....like, have that here.]
meow
No bartender??? Well, he might have to take care of this customer himself. ]
lmao you HAVE to app this kid
You have got got to be shitting me.
[At the same time, though...He's got the beginnings of an idea. Reaching for his non-journal notebook...]
WORKIN ON IT
...Now, Cecil actually being a very sheltered 14-year-old, he doesn't know too much about what people drink at bars, but the big short man ask for something that was "red," and started with an M, right? He'll get to work on finding a bottle of whatever it was right away. ]
no subject
I must say, you're the first cat bartender I've met. Blondie would love this. [He grins even wider when the kitty ends up near the whiskeys instead of the wines.]
You, ah, come here often?
no subject
And back to searching he goes. Nah, can't find anything over here, so let's backtrack... to the wines! Oh, there's a lot of red stuff here. Hm, let's find one that starts with M. ]
no subject
So as the kitty winds his way through the booze, Varric will jot something down in his notebook, talking all the while.]
Got a name? I suppose you do, you seem like a cat that has a name.
Question is, what's your name? Hmmmm. Blondie would name you something ridiculous, no doubt about that. [I mean, "Ser Pounce-a-lot?" The man has no sense of style whatsoever. And not just because he wears feather pauldrons.]
You kinda remind me of a guy I knew back in Kirkwall, actually. Name of Bartholomew.
[It's even a pun!! Get it? Bartholomew? Varric is so goddamn clever. He grins and puts that in the notebook.]
no subject
Well Kuppuru isn't paying too much attention (aside from the beginning, in which he'd like to reply "Kuppuru" but it doesn't really work that way) as Varric speaks so he continues to search the racks. Oh look! There seems to be a collection of small bottles over there that he can actually pick up with his mouth, one seems to have red casing--
But wait, Bartholomew?
Kuppuru just sits where he is at that point and turns to look back at him.
But she named me Kuppuru, that was the name that she gave me. A symbol of our love...
Brb grillin him for a little bit. ]
no subject
How about that! You know your name already. [This dwarf is just so pleased with himself right now.]
