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.

[Saleh thought about demonstrating, but he doesn't want to scare off the pirate like that. Thankfully, he hasn't actually had to use it on Jack. Ol' Jack Sparrow got scared just looking at the tome.]

This is a magic tome. I use these to cast my spells and strike down enemies.

[The monkey on Barbossa's shoulder let out a yelp at Saleh's words, warranting himself a glance from his master.

The pirate grinned. Just like his namesake.

He turned to look at Saleh again.]

And I'm sure that after ye explained that to our mutual... friend, he never dared rob you again, did he?

[mountain_sage]

[Saleh glanced at the monkey. Smart creature...whatever it was.]

Oh, he's tried. But as I said, I do not have much worth stealing.

[Even the trinkets that Jack had managed to steal were easily replaced, so Saleh shrugged it off easily enough.]

[applepirate]

[Smart and unpredictable, but so very cowardly.]

I wouldn't be so sure about that, Mr. Saleh.

[As he took another bite out of his apple, Barbossa took a couple of steps away from the man towards nowhere in particular, his gaze locked onto the distance.]

Pirates will steal anything, even what they can't understand or make use of themselves... so long as they see it's valuable to somebody else. This is true even for this godforsaken place where they can't possibly hope to make gold out of whatever they nab.

[Then, he turned his head around to look at Saleh, pointing at the tome he had shown him.]

What ye have there, boy... is a compelling mystery to folk such as I. It can spark a certain type of curiosity.

[mountain_sage]

[Was Barbossa hinting that he's planning to steal the tome? Well, at least it is replaceable, but not something that Saleh would simply hand over when a blade is held to his throat.]

So you've an interest in magic, do you? It is possible to learn, but you may need a tutor.
