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.

Oh, ah, it's okay. [She shrugs one shoulder, shifting her sketchbook until she's holding it in both hands.] I much prefer talking to someone instead of singing to myself.

I'm Elizabeth.

[ohmyland]

Elizabeth, that's a lovely name you have. [He clears his throat]

I'm Fix-It Felix Jr. and it's a pleasure meeting your acquaintance. Ah, you can just call me Felix of course.

[tearmeanewone]

Okay, Felix. [It feels a little weird calling him by his first name, but some people preferred that. Like Booker. Elizabeth also highly doubts that "Junior" is his last name.]

So do you ah, fix things? Is 'Fix-It' a nickname?

[ohmyland]

That indeed I do, ma'am with my trusty golden hammer. [which he automatically takes from his utility belt and gives her his traditional 8-bit pose]

My name is actually the name of the game I came from, though I have a feeling you probably have never heard of it...

[tearmeanewone]

[Well, he certainly is very proud of that hammer, it seems. And Elizabeth hasn't seen a golden hammer before. Golden gun, sure.]

The 'game' you came from? What, like checkers?

[ohmyland]

Oh, well that is a game, but not quite the same game. Do you have places call an arcade where you're from?

[tearmeanewone]

Oh! Oh yes, we do! [Elizabeth looks excited that she knows what he's talking about--but then her expression turns a little awkward. Because, well, the "games" in Columbia's "Arcade" were...]

...you're not... a doll on a stick, right?

[ohmyland]

[Doll on a stick...? Felix is just puzzling over that question.]

That I'm not, ma'am. I've never heard of a game that had a doll on a stick either... [Soo he has this feeling her idea of an arcade was probably different to what he knew of arcades]

[tearmeanewone]

[Yes. Vastly.] Oh, good! I've always thought those were kind of boring. One of them was pushed back three times--still not sure why, it's just like a mechanical puppet show. But you're from something better?
