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.

[There's a young German teen approaching the bar who may not look familiar and is definitely trying to score himself some alcohol. But one thing that may look a lot more familiar is the way he enters: he appears with a bamfing sound outside the bar, with a cloud of smoke that smells sharply of brimstone, and he walks towards the door.]

[She recognises the scent first, so familiar from their previous meetings, burned into her mind from the way he used it against her and Laura rises fluidly before taking a step off the roof, landing easily on her feet and standing straight even as her ankles heal themselves.

The face however, pauses her, Laura frowning just slightly as she studies him. It's a human face, one she knows Nightcrawler doesn't have, yet the features are of a similar structure, enough to prompt her to speak]

Nightcrawler?

[His image inducer on his wrist is still active - holographically making him look like a "human" version of himself. Sure, he's been shown kindness so far in Luceti. Even by people who have seen his true form. But he's still been hesitant about going without the watch 24/7.

He comes to a stop when he hears the voice - the unfamiliar voice - saying his name. It could be one of several possibilities: another of the people who knew him during his previous stay at Luceti that he couldn't remember, or someone who knew the Kurt from one of those other universes which made his head hurt.
Kurt looks up to face her, with a slight smile and a bemused expression.]

Hi there! Nightcrawler... that's me, alright! I'm just a little less... crawley then you might be expecting. [After all, using the name Nightcrawler would mean familiarity with the fuzzy form. It's not exactly a name he throws around while trying to blend in with the civvies.]

[The scent is still familiar, and scent is something Laura trusts. Scent is difficult to fake or change, scent tends to give one away even if they are otherwise perfectly disguised. So that and the familiarity in his features keeps her from calling him a liar when he confirms he is him.]

You are. [Another pause so as she studies him, mind ticking over all she knows to try and work out how without finding an answer.] How?

[He blinks at her. She's familiar - very familiar, actually. Like someone who knocked them all out one time. But she wasn't trying to kill them now, so... maybe she's friendly? He still a bit more nervous than he thought he'd be with the mini Wolverine so close.]

It's a hologram. Covers up the way I look, you know? But you - you know me.

[You'd be surprised how often she gets that. The familiar thing/ But he's right, she is holding herself back, studying him, mentally comparing this Nightcrawler to the one she recalls from her home.]

I understand holograms and their purposes. [pause.]I know a Nightcrawler. But you look too young to be him.

Right. You're thinking of the other guy. Are you from the same world that has those Avenger guys? I hear I'm a lot older there. Or maybe you're... from my actual future?

Ah. I understand now. [A pause, for awhile.] You are from the same world where Wolverine is the same height as me. [Because yes she's used to having to look down a little.]

I do not think I am from your future. [Somehow she actually manages to stop herself from telling him he's dead in her world.]

don't stop me now
