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.

...It feels as though that's all I ever do.

[ a soft sigh. she hadn't expected much, but she'd still had hope. ]

...And I as well. It feels as though an eternity has passed since I saw my brother last. I have searched high and low, but have found no leads.

[She lets out a sigh of longing as well.]

Brother...

I get the impression that this place is rather hit-or-miss for reunions. We might be searching for a little while longer.

So it seems. My brother would surely be at the Battle Dome, but I've found no leads there either. And so I will wait.

[She'll just have to accept the idea of being trapped here. She'll wait and search as long as she must.]

Surely, there's more that you can do that just wait.

Well, I will continue my training, of course.

[But beyond that, she has no idea.]

Training?

I am trained in the sword arts. I have competed in arenas all over Elibe in search of my brother.

Swords? You don't find that's a little...outdated?

...Outdated? What do you mean?

Ancient. Dangerous, even, depending on the situation.

Well...many people use swords. Lances, axes, and bows, too. Some people even use magic, but I don't know anything about it.

You are right, swords are dangerous. I never wanted to learn how to use it, but it was the only way I could get close to my brother.

Dangerous for the one trying to use them, I mean. I prefer something a little more...ranged.

...Hmm, I suppose it was at first, but I'm used to it now.

So you like bows then? Or maybe magic? I've seen throwing axes, too.

I like bow-guns.

Bow-guns?

[Confused.]

A gun. It shoots arrows. I suppose you might call it a sort of...crossbow?

Well...

[She doesn't know much about bows, so maybe she's seen a crossbow and doesn't know it?]

I only know of the bows where archers pull the arrow on the string and then release. And there are also ballistae, where they fire larger arrows at great distances. Is that what you mean?

Not quite. Think smaller. A crossbow has its own mechanism for pulling the string. Also? A trigger. It comes in handy when you're in a corner.

Hmm...

[She tries to wrap her head around it. Mechanisms and triggers...they seem beyond her understanding. Still, she maintains her casual smile.]

Perhaps you can show me one day? It sounds interesting.

I'd have to find one, first. But should that happen? Certainly. I don't mind passing on a little knowledge.

All right. You can take all the time you need.

You said your name was...Claire Redfield?

You can call me Claire. And you are?

Claire...

...I'm Karla.

It's wonderful to meet you, Karla. No matter the circumstance.
