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 ain't met anyone stupid enough to try that yet.

[ex_justlikedad293]

[She laughed.]

What other things do I have to look forward to?

[snikting]

Do I look like a tour guide to you?

[He's not entertainment. He's not an information repository either.]

[ex_justlikedad293]

No, but I was just hoping for just some tips about this place.

[snikting]

Here's the only tip I've got for you. Don't expect to be anyone's hero here. You're a soldier and a guinea pig. That's it. Try and find something to pass the time or you'll go crazy before long.

[ex_justlikedad293]

What if people need our help though? I can't just not help.

[snikting]

They won't.

[ex_justlikedad293]

So I'm supposed to just sit here and do... nothing?

[snikting]

Welcome to Luceti.

[ex_justlikedad293]

Great. Sounds like a blast.

[snikting]

Well suck it up. You may have a lot of waitin' ahead of you, but it's no excuse to be idle.

[ex_justlikedad293]

I will! [She's still a teenager, so she's good at snapping.]

What about training?

[snikting]

Keep doing it. When the fight does come to you, getting rusty is the quickest way to getting yourself killed.

[ex_justlikedad293]

[She chuckled.] Because that's what I should be worried about.

Is dying here really that bad?

[snikting]

Dying is always bad. Even if you can live through it.

[ex_justlikedad293]

This place is sounding more and more exciting. [All the sads now.]

[snikting]

Well get used to it. Crying about it won't get you nowhere. [Just in case she was tempted to try.]

[ex_justlikedad293]

I wasn't going to cry! [Snapping now. And she probably grew a few inches too.]

[snikting]

[Wow she must've been slouching before. Now she's all mad and standing up straight. Yeesh.]

Cool it, kid. Getting mad about it won't help.
