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's the fire she notices long before she spots the boy. The sort of flames that make the scars on her skin itch in memory. Skin that has since stopped being so much of an obvious patchwork of grafts but skin she still prefers to keep mostly covered up. A year and a half later and she'll never forget the pain of those burns. The sensation of being set aflame by explosions. Memories are enough to get her to freeze in spot as she makes her way back to the village from her morning hunt.

But there's something different about the fire, she realizes a little bit later. A sense of control over it completely unlike her incendiary arrows or any explosion. It makes the fear dissipate just a little, giving way to a sense that this might be a skill that ought to be admired.

Making just enough noise to be noticed, she makes her way out into the clearing to get a better view. Yeah. Very impressive.]

[It takes him a moment to catch the sound of someone approaching, focused as he is, but as soon as he does he falls into an attack-ready position, palm out and facing the source. It's unlikely that anyone here is planning to attack him, but he can't rule it out as a possibility.

It's a girl - one he doesn't recognize. His hand lowers just a little.]

Did you want something?

[She shakes her head in response.]

I saw the fire. [The words are weak as she gestures towards his hand. Caution and respect join the look of interest on her face as she takes another step out of the clearing. Her own hand twitches, ready to reach for an arrow if he does try anything.

But the boy doesn't attack her. And she does her best to remain at ease.] I've never seen anything like that before.

[At least, not with fire.]

It's firebending.

[Zuko lets his arms fall to his side, not wanting to be the threatening one in this situation if she's only curious.]

I guess working with the elements like this isn't as common in... other places.

[Thinking about the existence of different worlds still makes his head hurt.]

Not everyone can do it where I come from, but it's nothing out of the ordinary.
