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.

[The accent, the time, his jacket. She's looking them over now.

This is a historical marvel. A living, BREATHING, person from the Napoleonic wars!

Don't mind her as she starts walking around Sharpe looking him up and down.]

You were in a Rifle battalion or regiment, and you were an officer as well of one them, weren't you?

[And DAT SWORD.]

That sword wasn't regulation for the officers back then. Most used the light curved blade.

[She's just talking to herself now.]

[ his eyes widen -- ever so minutely. and he stands a little straighter. he's met many in this world who have been fascinated by his place in history, but few who've known a bloody thing about it before he told him.

sharpe clears his throat. ] A-aye. The 95th, ma'am. Once upon a time. [ more damning is the notion that she had so quickly isolated the truth that he'd been dragged up from the ranks. it surprises him. hell, if it didn't scare him so much, it might also impress him. ]

But I never served with the rifles when I was in the ranks. I wore red in the 33rd before I were promoted. In India. [ so long ago, now. decades, nearly. ]

You know a bloody great lot for a petty canteen-thief and one of those modern women. [ or so he assumes. ]

[knowsofloss]

[That's Lara for you. Great archeologist who made her mark on a crazy island.

Hearing him tell her all this though, damn is she fascinated like crazy in it.

But, her expression sours immediately when Sharpe calls her a canteen thief.]

I found it in the GRASS, major. Maybe you shouldn't have dropped it.

[ he laughs. a gentle, quiet sort of chuckle. ]

Were only a jest, ma'am. Already as good as bloody thanked you, didn't I?

[knowsofloss]

[Oops she jumped the gun on that one.]

Right, sorry.

[But, she's realized she hasn't even give the man her name.]

I apologize, I didn't even tell you who I was. My name's Lara Croft.
