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.

I've heard of the Riflemen before. [Mostly deprecations, but she knows now to take the source of the information into mind, and as her opinion on him has soured all the wat through and rotted, she's inclined to look very kindly on those men.] But never had the honour of meeting one of them.

It must have been a great trial, having no commanding officers. It would take quite the man to maintain order. [She does her best to sound as if she has no idea she is complimenting him, but her soft chuckle might give her away.]

[ quite the man. and sharpe had fought extra hard for the respect of his men, for they'd once seen him as nothing but a gilded version of themselves. and in some lights, that was true enough. ]

The South Essex carries muskets -- [ he explains. ] I was of the 95th, but the company I was with got cut off during a retreat to Corunna, miss. The rest of the rifles sailed home and we were snuck into the South Essex. [ rather than send them home, the duke had wanted to hoard as many rifles as he could. ]

But we still wear our green jackets, amongst the red. For it is a grand honour to be picked for the rifles -- [ an elite unit, they were. hand chosen from regular regiments. the scantest hope for social elevation a common soldier might normally wish for, aside from cases like sharpe's. ] and we clung to our colour and our motto even as we were shoved about.

First on the field, and the last off of it. That's us.
