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.

[Green happens upon the sight, and frowns severely. He's not happy that his grandfather is in this place in the first place, but he's been trying to help him settle to some degree.

But he can't put his grandfather at ease, he's fairly powerless to do much of anything. And Green hates it.

He'll enter the simulation, putting his hand on Professor Oak's shoulder.]

Hey.

[Oak nearly jumped when he felt Green's hand on his shoulder. He was too invested in observing his Pokemon's behavior that he haven't noticed that the young man was there, but he has his complete attention now; the Professor turned to face his Grandson with a surprised look on his face]

Green, you startled me...! [He nearly had a heart attack] ...Is there something you need?

[cooltrainer]

[E-easy, grandpa, easy...]

No, I came here to see how you're doing. I'm fine.

[meanoldnut]

Good, good! I'm doing alright, all things considered. [He'd seen better days, but he'd also seen worse days as well.]

My Pokemon are feeling a little better today. [Thanks to the stimulation. They would likely be depressed otherwise] It's been a while since I've seen them this active and content with their lives.

[A fake Pallet Town is only a temporary fix, but he hopes it's enough to push his Pokemon towards the right direction. True, there's no place like the Kanto region, but they... and himself... would have to face the fact that Luceti will be their new home, whether they like it or not.]

[cooltrainer]

It might be good to give them more exercise, too. Even if they aren't battlers like they used to be, it'll be important for them to be in good shape for a fight.

[meanoldnut]

Yes. They are common in Luceti, aren't they? [He heard of missions and drafts due to reading the information in his journal, though he's not quite so sure how often they come and go]
