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.

[Man Xavin is perfectly aware Skrull culture is strange to humans. Human culture is strange to her though, and she often sticks her foot in her mouth over it. Metaphorically of course. So you're excused.]

Why would you be unable to eat Pork? Are you a vegan, like Karolina? It is a difficult life I have seen, and the pork is quite delicious.

[yes that's what she got out of that. And yeah religions in general confuse her and so does not eating meat.]

It is not pointless. Showing too much can be quite deadly in combat. You are showing a weakness a smart opponent will only use it against you.

[selfhelp]

Well, yeah, showing your enemy stuff like that- but what about friends?

[skrullbucks]

Are you my friend then? [a genuine question, sincere and all. After all friendship is hard to grasp and define. She's had comrades, in training. And he's had acquaintances, as any young prince did. But being a prince meant that there was always going to be a gap with you and others no matter how distant in line you were.

Karolina was her beloveded, her fiancée. More then friend. Molly was her sister. Klara was still unsure around her and Victor and her still clashed at times. And Nico... Well that was always going to be awkward. Chase possibly was a friend but at the same time she wasn't going to seek him out unless he was needed. And Old Lace was a dinosaur.

And so Xavin keeps on staring, waiting for an answer first]

[selfhelp]

What? Yeah, of course you are. You and all the Runaways.

[The ones he's met, anyway. They were a good bunch, really interesting and fun to be around (when they weren't fighting off bug-aliens or SHIELD agents). He'd have liked to get the chance to get to know them better, which is why he's glad to see Xavin here. Albeit selfishly.]

[skrullbucks]

Ah. [she pauses to consider this. In her definitions she had assumed they were only allies. Aside from Teddy of course, his destiny meant that she really should be protecting him when around him. And with Billy's relationship to Teddy she supposed that protection would extend to him.

But friends. An odd word, yet it brings a faint smile to her lips] Then I suppose I could do that.
