it's time once again for a...test drive meme!

[herotypical]

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. Oh. And don't forget to RESERVE your characters.

[It had been quite a shock for him too when he had arrived. Being recognized, we was used to. But having so many people talk to him like they knew him personally...not so much. It had been quite uncomfortable at first.] Well, no. I mean, yes there are multiple Tonys, but only one here. Our Tony in fact. But there are two Starks here. [And he pauses for a moment, taking another drink of water before continuing.] Howard Stark is here. Except it's Howard from back in the 1940's. Shortly after I went missing.

[That causes him to chuckle. A lot of things would have been a lot easier if the Chitauri had had a weakness like that.] Reality is never quite as clean cut as fiction.

[One eyebrow arches faintly at this as she digests this information.] Tony's father? [That's asked mostly for confirmation, because to not have heard of Howard Stark meant you spent your life living under a rock somewhere. That and knowing Tony personally meant she'd picked up on tidbits here and there of his opinion of his father.] Well. I'm sure that was an interesting meeting. You worked with him, yes? During the war?

[Her lips quirk again, humor flitting through green eyes.] No, but some days it's even stranger.

[neversurrender]

The very same. [Steve has never been very clear on the details of Tony and Howard's relationship, so the fact that Tony asked him to keep their relation a secret from Howard had come as a surprise. He doesn't like keeping things from his old friend.] I did. He assisted Dr. Erskine when I was given the serum. I also got my shield from him. [Amongst other things.]

You've got that right.

[widows_kiss]

I'm sure Tony's thrilled. [It was said mildly, no hint of her opinion showing either way; she could just be stating the obvious, although she really, really wasn't. She nodded when Steve explained his early encounters with Howard, filing that away.]

Fury had mentioned that Howard had a large hand in forming SHIELD at its origins, too. That was long before I came to them so I never had the chance to meet him. He was always infamous, though. [She tilts her head slightly, flicking a curious glance at Steve.] Is he anything like Tony?

[neversurrender]

Yeah, he mentioned that to me too. He probably thought I'd feel more comfortable being in SHIELD's custody if I knew an old friend had had a hand in its creation. [Although at that point Steve hadn't been feeling much of anything. Just desolation at everything he loved being gone. Fury had been very helpful when it came to telling him the whereabouts of his friends, but as much as he wanted to know what he'd missed, an even bigger part of him hadn't.]

[He makes the mistake of taking a drink of water when he hears her question and immediately starts choking. He covers his mouth with his hand and turns away. Finally clearing he looks back over at her.] There are some...striking similarities. [Oh, more than you know Natasha.]

[widows_kiss]

[Her lips quirk at this, amused by his response, by the openness of it. It always catches her off-guard a little, Steve being... well. Steve.] Oh? After that reaction, I'm half afraid to ask. Although now you have me curious. Spill, Captain.

[neversurrender]

[Oh boy. Where does he even begin?] Well, it's more something you'd have to see for yourself...
