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.

Comments

The noise I made when I saw this was inhuman. Thank you!

[etherealblast]

[When he steps out of the simulation room, sword in hand, he hadn't expected to spot a familiar face. He'd started looking from his first day just to confirm if whatever had happened had dragged any of the others in their group here as well, especially given the unique circumstances right before he ended up there. It had seemed like a negative, last he checked.

A grin lights up his face as he steps forward.] Of course.

When did you get here, anyway? I've been wondering if I was the only one who got stranded this time.

here, have another special-made account.

[shockwaveswirl]

[Albel, really, was more or less just passing through. Okay, not really. The Battle Dome seems like the only place to get any kind of a fight around here, and technology? He and technology aren't the best of friends. Traveling around space and the fourth dimension aside, Albel still hasn't mastered the arts of keyboards.

That said, trying to absorb how to work the simulations from idly milling past people isn't working all that well, either.

So he'll just take the easy route and sneer at Fayt.]

Those monsters hardly constitute a fight, fool.

It was probably the same noise I made when I saw you! XD

[aerialassault]

When most everyone here was asleep. Lucky for me, there's a few insomniacs in this backwater little place.

[That grin is returned in kind.]

When did you drop in? I only saw you just last night, before...this.

[He jerked a thumb over his shoulder, at those wings again. This world has some strange little quirks.]

[avaricious]

Can't imagine letting it out of your sight, huh? Well, I guess it's not the worst body to have. Especially if it's getting the attention of women like yourself.

Oh my goodness, two of them?!

[etherealblast]

[Albel would head straight for the first chance to fight things he could, and Fayt can't really say he's at all surprised. Not that he minded much. There was an ease to simulations that was relaxing, even if he'd grown to enjoy the challenge of real combat in different ways.]

You can turn up the difficulty level, if you want. It seems like you can adjust the monsters it produces, too.

[It's fairly obvious to see what he's doing, but he doesn't really feel the need to point it out. The Elicoor natives had adjusted pretty well overall to space travel and their technology in Fayt's opinion, even if there were still a few kinks.]

[avaricious]

What? Owner of this dump? Not a chance. The name's Greed, the Avaricious. Just doing my part to make fellow new feathers feel welcome.

[ex_genome83]

[...So he was about to eat said apple, but he's going to give "The Dark One" a look.]

"The Dark One"? Are you trying to sound like a badass or something with that one? [Because it's not working on Jake]

[gonna_shoot_it]

Dramatic entrances ain't the best idea around someone on patrol. [Especially when you don't just regenerate afterward. Okay, well, you do, but slowly, and that's not too cool.]

Any particular reason you're dropping in like this?

[For all the stiffness in her manner, her tone isn't all that snappy. She's not entirely unhappy to see you, Vanellope.]

[oftheyin]

[Yay for mask, because that just made her blush like WHOA!!!]

You shouldn't speak to me like that.

Hahaaaaa. Wow!

[etherealblast]

About a week ago. I've been trying to figure out what's going on here since then. Seems like this village is quite a place.

[Yeah... the wings. Really, he didn't know what to do with them, besides cut holes in the back of his shirts, but he supposed after time the people who end up here must get used to anything.]

According to what I hear, the wings might be helping our bodies adjust to this environment, if what people say about their removal is true. Why wings though, I couldn't say. Seems like a pretty kooky way to go about it.

[soulofapoet]

[The Dark One looks a little indignant at that.]

It reflects the nature of my very being. It is an honorable name.

[In other words, yes.]

[gonna_shoot_it]

[She is incredibly unimpressed, Logan. That growl of yours? She's heard the same thing out of half her men. And it never amounts to anything with them. The most she'll grant it is a slight raise of eyebrows.]

So we agree, then. But that doesn't answer my question.

[Hurry it up, bub.]

[gonna_shoot_it]

[Yeah, she's just going to keep on scanning this bakery and ignore you and your muffins for now, Ralph. Clearly you have learned nothing about environments the bugs thrive in.]

Can it, hamfists. I'm a little busy here.

Lemme know how I play him? Never actually ran him before.

[aerialassault]

'Kooky' is a nice word for it. These weird little books also talk about experiments...? Sounds almost like a fancy prison camp.

[He huffed in mild annoyance.]

It's always the quiet places that you've gotta worry about, isn't it?

Gotcha. Sounds good so far! I've only been playing Fayt for a few months myself.

[etherealblast]

Yeah... It's a bit twisted if you ask me.

[And it seemed like it had been going on a while, for people here to be so... prepared for arrivals. They even have a welcome pamphlet right there in the journals.]

Do you think there's a way to escape they've been missing? I'm not sure how much I'm willing to believe it's impossible.

[ex_genome83]

Riight. [He can't take this seriously.]

Whatever you say "Dark one".

[trollkiller]

I think they need all the help they can get. [At least, considering how long some people have actually been stuck here.] But don't worry, you guys'll have all the time in the world.

[vainvoid]

[Icon is appropriate, because Vanitas is starting to get pissed]

No, no, no, no, and no. For the love of hell, No. I don't know Sora, never met Sora, and I don't want to know him. Now are you going to keep playing 20 questions, or are you going to give me something useful?

[vainvoid]

[Vanitas can't help but notice Ventus is acting anxious for some reason.]

Is there something you're not telling me?

[shinesbrightest]

Who would want that? That's a weird thing to say.

[He's not sure how he feels about that confident look. He's so judging.]

It's a party! :D

[shockwaveswirl]

[At least the technology didn't surprise him anymore, per se. But Albel still isn't any kind of wizard at it, and so he just stashes away this information for future reference. There is a way to turn up the difficulty, and there is a way to change what monsters appear. How, exactly, is the last piece of the puzzle.]

I don't see why you wouldn't have it on the highest level in the first place. What point is there if there isn't any challenge?

[soulofapoet]

[The Dark One stands up, clutching his head with both hands and yelling at the top of his lungs.]

ARGH! Why can't anyone see that "The Dark One" is a cool title perfectly befitting of myself! Where is the ability to choose? To express oneself without mockery!

[Its much better than his real name anyway!]

[soulofapoet]

The light of the sun will never banish the shadows residing in the depths of my black heart.

[Yeah, good luck with that Aang.]

[medicalpunch]

I trust your observations.

But that said... [She pauses, tapping her lower lip thoughtfully.] Well, I suppose it's all academic really, but I'd be interested in some of the power comparisons.

[endgames]

Haa... [He folds his arms behind his head and looks at the clouds, aligning his thoughts.]

The comparisons are more notable in what you can't compare. Very few people here have the same skill-sets.

But put in terms more familiar to you and me, I suppose the best example would be Lee.
