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.

➲ Second Stop: "ERRMAHGERD" - you catch Emmet either geeking out hard over a book about trains, or snuggling affectionately with a giant fuzzy spider.
➲ Third Stop: (Double) Battle! This is for Pokémon trainers; if they only have one, he'll be fair with a single battle, but otherwise he fully expects a double battle!
no subject
I hope you won't go underestimating my Dittos, even if you have a Pokémon I've never seen before!
[Don't think she didn't see you snuggling that giant yellow spider thing earlier!]
no subject
[He sends out Eelektross and Archeops!]
no subject
Where did you catch Pokemon like that? I've never seen anything like them in the Jhoto region... [Or Kanto. Regardless, she gets her Dittos ready.] Ditto, Little-Dit, transform!
[Her first Ditto transforms into a perfect copy of Eelektross, however her second only manages to transform into a tiny version of an Archeops, no bigger than a Pikachu.]
no subject
[Oh man, tiny archeops is cute!]
You ready? I'm ready!
no subject
[Maybe if she ever leaves this place she'll happen upon Unova at some point. For now though, Duplica nods and waits for Emmet to make the first move.]
We're ready!
no subject
[He grins his usual grin, looking excited.]
Let's go! Eelektross, Thunder Wave on Ditto! Archeops, Earthquake!
[The electric eel had an ability called Levitate, keeping it safe from Archeops' ground-type attack. The Thunder Wave was aimed at the larger ditto.]
no subject
[Seeing as Ditto are capable of copying abilities as well as type and a whole bunch of other things, Ditto dodges the Earthquake with the copied Levitate. Her second Ditto avoids the attack due to Archeops' copied typing. Thunder Wave lands though!
Duplica seems puzzled as to how her Ditto got away without taking any damage though. What are abilities to a gen II Jhoto girl anyway.]
I was sure that would have hit, did it miss somehow? [That must be it.] Well, no time for wondering about it! Ditto, try a Thunder Wave on that Eelektross too! Little-Dit, use... Wing Attack on Archeops!
[The Wing Attack is a pure guess since Duplica isn't aware of what type of moves Archeops can pull off, so the attack might end up failing.]
no subject
Eelektross, gastro acid on the Ditto! Archeops, Rock Slide on Little-Dit!
[Archeops takes the wing attack easily, being part rock type, and retaliates with a rock-type move.]
no subject
Scoot over, Emmet, your brother's coming to sit next to you!]
no subject
Isn't she cute? I just groomed her, she's so soft and fuzzy!
no subject
Very. [Emmet takes good care of her!] I can't say I've seen a fuzzier Galvantula, to be sure.
no subject
What's on the schedule today, Ingo?
no subject
[Not that they need him or anything. But. JUST TO SAY HELLO
AND TO SEE HOW HIS NOTKIDS ARE DOING...]no subject
[One. Track. Mind.]
no subject
....But....] It wouldn't hurt to ask. It would certainly be enjoyable.
[They're not brothers for nothing, clearly.]
no subject
no subject
[...] But errands are the first stop. [responsibility first, fun later...!]
no subject
[He recalls Galvantula and stands, ready to assist with groceries.]
What's on the list?
no subject
Greens, salad dressing... food for Haxorus.... [He pauses, thoughtfully.] It's been quite interesting to get used to the arrays of other worlds' fare, I must say. [Like the meat. What is that.]
no subject
Definitely! It's exciting, really exciting. It's basically culture exchange. Wish we'd have brought our own recipe book!
no subject
Hmm. Yes. [If only it'd shown up with them!] I've done my best to remember what I can, but I've mostly relied on the recipes already here...
no subject
[Aside from the abductions, war, entrapment...]
no subject
...It has its good points, yes. [But he shakes his head.]
