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.

[Gasp! Someone does not know of his godly-ness?]

I am so hurt, Old Man! How could you have never have heard of the Great Coyote?

For I have been here ever since time began!

[Looking around at his surroundings...nope definitely not in Gillite Wood any more...]

Well maybe not here exactly. But still - I am very important!

[meanoldnut]

[Oak rubbed his chin in thought. This 'Great Coyote' have been alive since the beginning of time, or so he says. This could only mean one possible thing, assuming what he said is truth]

Then I assume you know of the Time Travel Pokemon Celebi, correct?

I...I love you

[great_coyote]

Ahaha! Old Man - you are just too funny! Time travel! AHhaha - to think that such a thing could exist!

<3

[meanoldnut]

Anyone who assumed to have lived since the beginning of time should have seen Celebi at some point in their life. Otherwise, I see no evidence of your story being true.

[great_coyote]

Haha! Maybe it is you who is not being truthful. I have never heard of a "Celebi" - and I have heard many stories.

[meanoldnut]

Then answer me this: Are you a Pokemon?

[All clues thus far points to no, but it doesn't hurt to be sure by hearing it from the source itself]

[great_coyote]

[He flashes Oak a wide toothy smile]

OOooohhh...I have never heard of such a thing as a Powerman before!
Tell me what they are!

[meanoldnut]

Pokemon. [Oak corrected.] Also known as Pocket Monsters, they are creatures of various sizes with unique abilities and talents used for battling, self defense, and other means. The majority are wild, but those who have a human trainer are quite domesticated and are seen as partners and friends.

[He points to his Pokemon] As you can see, these are my Pokemon. To the left is Fearow, the Beak Pokemon. In the middle is Stantler, the Big Horn Pokemon. To the right is Kangaskhan, the Parent Pokemon. And I, Professor Oak, is their trainer. But together we are companions.

Welcome to the world of pokemon!

[great_coyote]

Haha - you toy with me again Old Man. How could you possibly fit such large creatures into your pocket?

Are you a boy or a girl?

[meanoldnut]

With this.

[He took a Pokeball out from his labcoat pocket and made a gesture for Coyote to take a closer look]

The Pokeball is capable of keeping a Pokemon inside regardless of its size and weight, but you must weaken it first for the capture to be successful.
