there is no place quite like this place if we get it on the go

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.

[Well hello stranger. What are you doing with the controls?

Evan walks up to Jake, peering at the controls from the side.]

Huh.

[Looks like the man is looking to up the difficulty of an AI to fight. Evan tilts his head then grins.]

You seem like you'd be up for a spar. So, wanna spar?

IT IS. It took me a mintue to get it though. XD;

[onearmedexmerc]

[Really? Weird.]

We all have days like that, it's no biggie.

[Your laughter is not very convincing. But Evan let's it slide.]

Cool. Interested in a sparring partner?

[Say hello to someone who won't underestimate you because your a) a girl and b) young. Though your super strength thing and ninja skills will totally throw him for a loop.]

[endgames]

Or here, either. [He grins.] The power "cap" doesn't limit us from growing stronger.

[cilantro]

[What's that? Wishing for food? Our starving friends radar must of went off because you'll be bumping right into Cilan outside the grocery store when you leave.]

Hm? Oh, Ash, is everything alright?

[avaricious]

Huh? [Greed turns back to spot Ran Fan. Damn, that girl sure knows how to sneak up on him.] Well well well, if it isn't my favorite bodybabe. You come looking for me?

[He just makes his way over, wearing a big grin. Oh yeah. She does have a nice body. Shame about the ugly mask.]

[hushedpenance]

Mm― here. [He starts going through and indicating all the eyelashed beings. But then this new person sees, so...!]

Uh? ... What is it? [No need to worry about awkward with this one.]

You sound ... worried.

no fitting icon atm other than repeating so i'm using this icon for now

[hatesguns]

[Noda was knowledgeable with the stereotypical elf class for some RPGs, but he already had learned the hard way not to confuse the two worlds. Unless they say they're elves, Noda wasn't going assume they're one... much.]

Fun? Not exactly. Just happened to catch my attention at the moment.

[He then gestures towards the other's bow with a nod.] You use that against moving targets before?

Thor Odinson | MCU

[worldsaway]

[He'd not been here long, but it hadn't taken Thor a terribly long time to find the bar. Alcohol is, of course, not a priority for him. He'd spent a great deal of time questioning and searching his surroundings. Once he'd realised the gravity of the situation, he'd begun to settle just a little.

Still, he found himself desiring a little something to take the edge off such a perplexing situation. What better way to soothe the soul than indulging in a drink? Perhaps now is a good time to make some allies.

If you happen to sit by Thor, he will greet you with a small grin and a nod before beckoning the bar keep to serve you up a drink. How about one of those specials?]

A fine evening for a drink, is it not?

[vainvoid]

No, I'm not Sora.

[onearmedexmerc]

[Evan had seen the dog yesterday, walking along.

Today he's walking the same way. How bizarre.

He pauses on his walk and Evan decides it won't hurt to approach. Failing all else, he could probably out run it if he had too. Even without his prosthetic arm acting as counterbalance to his good arm.]

Hey Doggy. Bless you.

[Okay, so saying 'Bless you' to dog that's sneezed is weird, but he's a relatively polite person okay. You hear a sneeze, you say 'Bless you', it's not rocket science.]

Aerith Gainsborough | Final Fantasy VII

[gospelled]

Scenario 1:

[ So, strolling through town is a girl in the typical New Feather gown. She walks on her toes, as the ground is cold -- everything is cold -- and she's trying to move quickly, obviously frozen to the bone. ]

Did they have to take everything? [ Murmured, with some irritation. ] They could have left my jacket...

[ Hey, is that some ice? It sure is. Aerith slips and falls painfully with a yelp, though -- with serious determination -- she's on her feet again in a moment, sore and a bit damp now but unstoppable. Help a lost woman out? ]

Scenario 2:

[ This would be a voice post about a week after she's settled in. ]

So! Hi, Luceti. I thought I should introduce myself, since it's been a couple of days since I arrived here. It's a lot different from the place I just came from! There's so much nature.... it's nice. I bet it's beautiful in the spring.

Oh! I should thank everyone who helped me. I really appreciated it! It was freezing when I woke up. Who do these Malnosso think they are, dropping people off in dresses and no shoes? Not to mention sticking wings on everyone. Why wings? They seem like they should be sort of fun, or even just pretty, but they have this terrible purpose...

Then again, who can figure out what people like that think? All they want is to experiment and get results.

Sorry, sorry! I'm just rambling now. [ A quick giggle. ] Why don't we all introduce ourselves? That way I can get to know everyone better. My name is Aerith. How is everyone today?

Oh, by the way, is there a flower shop here?

[medicalpunch]

[She's never all that convincing at pretending everything's okay. But she's going to have to do a lot of that when she arrives.]

Oh! Of course, I'd love to.

[She can't help it, her gaze slides to the mission arm. But then back to him, with no look like she thinks he can't.]

Bare-hand, or do you have a weapon you use?

[Because she's from the ninja world, man, you don't question.]

[medicalpunch]

[Her eyebrows lift.]

So we're only capped to a percentage of our power, not an absolute amount?

[endgames]

That's been the reality thus far for me.

[hushedpenance]

[The closest. And he doesn't show any sign of backing up... What do?]

Perfect. So maybe not everyone is falling over themselves. Silver lining? And perhaps they have a good dipping soup for the grilled cheese...

[But it had not occurred to him that someone might... actually want to know what he was up to. He shifts from foot to foot, peering over at the bar.]

People don't respond well when I ask them questions. Well―

Usually they do not. I want to know ... about this place. And I want to know about the people here― without just asking them.

[friendshipfirst]

[ Cilan! Our savoir! Feed us with your delicious sandwiches and snacks! ]

Cilan! The Grocery Store is outta food so me and Pikachu don't have anything t' eat!

[charitylovehopefaith]

[Why, no. That wasn't a soft little snort or scoff at those words.

Nothing personal, Sharpe.

Her smile is a little strained, but she does try to keep it there.]

You are very kind, Major.

[makethembelieve]

And what question is that, Major?

no big deal, i will have to rip more... |D

[hushedpenance]

Once or twice. [It's a lie, but it comes so naturally that it would be hard to tell. It's far more than once or twice.]

Wh...y? Have you used your massive polearm against a live target? [Pause. He looks down, then away.]

Do you... channel anything through that?

[onearmedexmerc]

[Well, you need to work on it a bit more girl.]

Sweet!

[Evan is glad to get a sparring partner. He notices her gaze slip to his lack of arm, but the look she gives him makes him give a small sharp smile. Good girl, not underestimating the one-armed man. He's had just over half his life to get used to it and compensate for it.]

I'm proficient in most forms of combat. However I like knives and bare-handed for a spar. Guns don't really factor into a friendly spar. So which ever you'd prefer.

just so you know, you are the coolest ever, okay—

[trollkiller]

Alright, smartass, and why do you think you ended up here?

[romanticideals]

Is that what it is?

[She's standing very rigid now. He's far, far too close. And that's no way to speak to a lady. She may not be highly born, but one still expected a certain degree of etiquette.]

[onearmedexmerc]

[Options are: Ignore, Gently push away, or step back. Processing... Evan chose ignore.]

I didn't ask. Probably should have, nothing beats a grilled cheese with tomato soup.

[....Really? You don't say. Evan's mouth quirks into a wry smile.]

Well, first of all, you probably shouldn't stand so close. Most people don't like that. [Evan's a weirdo. Do not look to him to follow social norms.] As for questions about this place, there is a guide in the journals. And most people don't mind questions about Luceti.

[The last comment just gets a quirk of the eyebrows.]

Why don't you just observe the journals then? A lot of people post in them and you can learn about people that way if your uncomfortable asking questions. [Which you obviously aren't, because hello! Asking a complete stranger about the bar probably means it's not the asking of questions that gets you nervous.]

[onearmedexmerc]

Yup.

[Evan notices the tension in her frame and looks sheepish, taking a step back.]

Ah, sorry about that.

[Sorry Lady, Evan is from the wrong time frame to know how to treat a lady. Especially since most women of his acquaintance can and have kicked his ass at one point or another.]

Never had a kiwi before?

[romanticideals]

No, sir. I've never seen one before.

[Well. At least he knows enough to take that step back. So, Constance lets herself smile just a faint bit in acknowledgement of it.]
