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.

Science equipment, huh? [There was something distinctly ... scientific about this guy's mannerisms. Analytical.] Well, my clothes were with me when I woke up, but my other gear is still missing.

[But he waves off Spock's offer of medical assistance. The motion reveals some impressive scars on his chest and biceps.] This is nothing, but thanks. I'm Akihiko Sanada.

[spohkh]

[Notices the scars but decides to let the subject drop.]

[eyebrow raise] Indeed. May I inquire in to what manner you appeared here in Luceti? I find myself curious, as my appearance was rather undignified. Then may I suggest we search for our belongings? Perhaps they were scattered.

[thunderfists]

I get the feeling dignity's not much of a commodity here. [He frowns, but ultimately ends up shrugging off the search for a protein drink in favor of concentrating on Spock.]

I woke up in a pair of white pants, out in the forest. My clothes were folded and left with me. Haven't looked around the village much yet, so I'm game if you want to search. [...] Any science equipment in here?

[Never mind it's obviously a grocery store and little else.]

[spohkh]

This is most fortuitous as I also appeared in the forest. I suggest we start there, and perhaps if we broaden our search we may come up with satisfactory results.

[Spock briskly heads for the exit and out the door complete expectation that Mr. Sanada will follow of course.]

[thunderfists]

...Sure, that should work. [He didn't recall seeing anything else around with him, but he had been thrown off by the sudden environment change to really think about searching for his knife and evoker.] So what kind of science equipment are you looking for, exactly?

[spohkh]

[walking briskly towards the forest]
It would be unfavourable for anyone to find the equipment I had previous to entering this world. I was carrying with me a tricorder, scanner, PADD and a Starfleet issued phaser, which is a directed energy weapon that would cause adverse results if someone utilized it without prior knowledge of how to operate such a device.
I am curious though, what is an evoker?

[thunderfists]

[The quick listing of equipment is hard to keep up with, but Akihiko manages by keeping silent so he can try to make sense of the items being described. Unfortunately, the question asked takes him by surprise.]

Evoker? [Did he say it aloud without realizing it?]

[spohkh]

[Spock stops suddenly, a look of mild surprise on his face.]
I apologise, in combination with the confusion I have experienced today and haste, my hand accidentally came into contact with you while we were walking. You were projecting rather loudly... This is an unforgivable lapse, I ask for your forgiveness.

[A/N... dammit... this is why we practice. :p]

[thunderfists]

[ooc: lmao, it's all right! definitely good to practice!]

That's-- [The confusion lingers, and he blinks a moment longer before shaking his head. Whatever had happened, Spock was quite apologetic about it.] Let's start that over again. What just happened?

[spohkh]

I am a touch-telepath. I can read people's thoughts and surface emotions through touch. However, there are ways to go deeper into the mind by initiating a mind-meld. Only beings who are trained in thought partitioning and shielding have any protection against this action.

Again, I hope you can forgive me.

[Spock stands there stiff, hands behind his back, looking as sorry as a Vulcan can.]

[A/N: <-- still kicking myself... :p]

[thunderfists]

[Touch-telepath? Though he wasn't familiar with the term, it doesn't take much to figure out what it mean, and Spock's explanation bolsters what he had inferred. 'Thought partitioning' goes beyond what he understands, though.]

I get it. It was an accident, right? I can live with that. [Despite that, he finds himself glancing down, as if he can see Spock's hands behind his back.] Gloves don't help with something like that?

[spohkh]

[It seems he's been forgiven. However, Akihiko's personality is reminiscent to that of his Captain.... fascinating.]

I thank thee. [Keeps his hands behind his back] Negative, I have sensitive hands, and I have yet to find a material that will allow me to work at optimal levels.
