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.

[She will argue about her totally awesome 'porting being way more awesome than his later, because this is a bit more important. For now, anyway.]

That's so not fair! Hasn't anybody found a way to get past it?

[wildbluevagner]

[Kurt frowns at her.]

Nope, not a soul. Sorry, girl. That's Luceti for you.

[grosstesque]

[That's... even if the situation back home wasn't the best, this still sucks.]

Well, that's just great.

[wildbluevagner]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But there's all kinds of heroes stuck here, some for a long time. None of them have been able to find a way out.

[grosstesque]

Well... maybe we'll all be able to figure something out later. [Not giving up? Not giving up.] I'm a hero back home, too!

[wildbluevagner]

I should've guessed from seeing you in actions! For some reason, people with abilities like us can't just settle for just being extremely efficient pizza delivery guys - and gals.

[grosstesque]

I think the only thing the pizza delivery people have on us is they get paid for what they do. [Granted, the Birds all make plenty of money, but Babs hasn't allowed her to become one yet, so that doesn't really make much of a difference.]

[wildbluevagner]

I know! Being a superhero has some pretty lousy benefits. No salary, no vacations, and it doesn't exactly fit on a college application!

[Not that he can really complain either - being in the Xavier Institute, he is... well was literally living in a mansion.]

[grosstesque]

Right! [She grins.] But on the bright side, there's always the fun of knowing we're the ones who always end up saving the world!

[... Oh, yeah, she forgot something, didn't she?]

What's your name, anyway? I'm Misfit!

[wildbluevagner]

That is always neat. [When they succeed that is. And his group here isn't quite sure if they'll be able to save the world from Apocalypse yet.]

Nice to meet you, Misfit - I'm Nightcrawler! [Since introducing each other by superhero names likes like the Way to Go.]

[grosstesque]

Nightcrawler, huh? Cool! [As far as names go, he had originally decided to try and be the new Batgirl, but she and Barbara ended up having words about all that a while back. But she's pretty happy with the one she has now.]

So how long have you been doing the superhero thing?
