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.

That's good, that's good. Good people, or aliens--whatever the fuck, don't let other people fall to their deaths. [The wayward teen is grateful that's for sure because there is no telling who exactly is travelling rooftops at night and while it's common practice homeward bound? Not so many people are likely fond of it in a place like this; a place with wings, nasty disgusting bird wings--alright, alright he's getting himself worked up again over birds as he coughs again, turning his head to the side and inhaling with a small wheeze.]

Shit--no, no I'm fine. [Forcing his posture from hunched to standing he lets out a slow, even breath.] Lungs, you know?

Can't live with them, can't live without them.

[fearless_leader]

That's not my style.

[Not unless you were his enemy anyway. And then it would depend on which enemy. The wings are an annoyance, but Leo's taken the time to find his balance with them. Though keeping them folded against his shell doesn't hurt either.]

Uh...right. [He is at least standing up straighter now.] So...was this your first time climbing up to the roofs?

[kingofdogs]

[On the other hand, Aðal's are all over the place and about as animated as he is. He has not really gotten a hold of them and right now they are about as ruffled as he is; even though he's getting calmer, taking another deep breath and looking more fully at the larger man? Creature--however he should consider him.] I used t' climb a lot.

Where I come from though? Everything's much smaller together, compact. [He makes the motions with his hands to visualize that.] I thought maybe the wings would make it easier--wow! Wrong though, totally wrong.

You're a big guy, those little wings help you much?

[fearless_leader]

Heh, sounds like me back home. My brothers and I ran, and climbed, rooftops all the time. Only...I'm used to much taller buildings. [Growing up in the big city and all. As for the wings uses.]

The wings aren't usable in flight. [That much might be obvious.] We're too big and heavy for them to carry. They'd have to be much bigger for us to fly. [His understanding of it anyway.]

The only use they have is keeping us alive. Since if they're removed we can die. Injuring them can make us sick.

SORRY FOR THE WAIT! was in travel transit.

[kingofdogs]

Yeah? [His interests are suddenly taken completely and he turns to the other, quietly contemplative if this other guy could have been one of the many alien races rolling about his own planet.] Taller, closer together--levels and levels of endless chances. You just don't get that here.

[At those last comments though, he wrinkles his brow and gives the other a look. It's not like he paid very close attention when arriving her; a little too angry to do that and to care much about it.] Removin' 'em kills yah?

Fuck, man. I'm glad I never gave int' that attempt--I fuckin' hate birds, these things freak me out.
