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.

[Airbenders stumbling upon Zuko's super secret clearing is a thing. But to be fair, when you spend some time going over Luceti in a glider, bursts of fire stand out. So Aang eventually lands nearby and watches from a safe distance, the now-teen monk eventually announcing his presence with some applause after a particularly badass move.]

Wow, flameo!

[twodragons]

[You weren't supposed to get any taller, Aang. That was like some unwritten rule somewhere.

The prince stops mid-kata, staring at his friend with an unreadable expression. He's going to have to get over this awkwardness, really. The Avatar being his usually derpy self should help with this.]

Hey, Aang.

[savedtheworld]

[He took a rule from Toph's book and broke some rules. One day he'll break the one one about not being supposed to have facial hair.

While Aang's expression is completely readable as friendly. With the fire turned off for the moment, Aang starts to get closer while waving.]

Hey, Zuko! Getting in some extra practice? [Trying to compensate for any improvements he made during their absence? Although Aang hasn't had particularly big ones.]

[twodragons]

Yeah...

[Not compensating. Not yet. Aang is the Avatar, and he's never felt much like comparing their actual skill levels.]

Just wanted to get some fresh air, you know? Clear my head.

[savedtheworld]

[He meekly points a finger with a soft chuckle.]

Looks more like you were getting some fresh fire! But I can understand what you're thinking of. [He still remembered his first day - showing up and finding Sokka and Katara suddenly older yet also from the past. It gave him a lot of headaches and took some getting used to.] You know what usually helps me clear my head? Meditation!

[twodragons]

[He rolls his eyes. Your concern is appreciated, Aang, but expected.]

I don't think that will work as well for me.

[savedtheworld]

Of course it will, Zuko! It can work great for everyone. As long as you can sit still and focus enough. [Which is... kind of hard to make most of his non-airbender friends do.]

[twodragons]

I was focused enough with what I was doing. Not everyone enjoys the same monkish mumbo jumbo that you do.

[He crosses his arms over his chest.]

I couldn't do it with someone else around, anyway.

[savedtheworld]

I think people just don't give it enough of a chance. But I guess... if that's helping you instead, then that's okay. [Of course Zuko feels better when he's shooting out fire.] Does that mean you wanna be alone?

[twodragons]

[...Well when he says it like that it makes him feel a bit jerkish.]

Yes!

...But since that's not happening you could always join me in my workout. I bet your firebending's pretty rusty.

[savedtheworld]

I-it's not that bad! But... [He gives a light smile.] I could always use more pointers from a sifu!

[twodragons]

Show me, then.

[He steps back a little, completely serious and watching the Avatar expectantly.]

[savedtheworld]

Okay!

[A little nervous about being put on the spot, but he stops and takes a deep breath. Then he starts going through a firbending form with a fair amount of skill. It is the form that he gets the least practice with - especially since Zuko's been gone from Luceti the longest of the Gaang, so he's gone some time without Sifu Hotman lessons. But still probably above average at least.]

[twodragons]

Not bad, but your form's off.

[It isn't. Not by much, anyway, but he can't help giving Aang a hard time about it.

He gestures for him to stop.]

Breathing exercises first. I'll do them with you.
