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.

[It'll be clear he meant something else in a second.]

There's a lot of people who live outside enclosures. I've worked with them, including a man in the Malnosso's military who may have been in this one.

There's a weird clash of what people do and don't know here. We're probably on the bottom tier of that

[medicalpunch]

[Her eyebrows shoot up at that.]

So the people who are keeping us in here... were in here themselves?

[It seems crazy to her. But then, people will perpetuate systems blindly, sometimes.]

[endgames]

Or other enclosures. There are many more apart from this one.

[medicalpunch]

[Which is not something she particularly likes to think about. How many...?]

If they're perpetuating this system, the people who come out of these enclosures...

[endgames]

Some join the MSF. I assume some are allowed to do other things, given I've seen civilians.

[medicalpunch]

Allowed.

[That's an irritating word.]

So these enclosures are just immigration centers, then? Involuntary ones.

[endgames]

That's one way to look at it. I think studying us remains the primary focus through that, but it's likely all connected.

[She makes a small sound of acknowledgment, turning it all over in her head.]

[She hates it that they're this powerful, the Malnosso, that they can lock so many people away and damp their abilities. She hates that they have so much power. And the feeling of helplessness is worse, that there's nothing she can do to effectively rebel.]

What would happen if we stopped cooperating with them? All these missions, drafts... if we just stopped doing what they want?
