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.

[He was pretty absorbed in this whole thing about the creation mythology. Mostly because in that world, it was probably true and that just seemed strange. It took him a moment before he looked up.]

Huh? Oh, it's the Silmarillion.

[degleamed]

[ Little does he know! By engaging her, he may be getting more than he bargained for. Rapunzel sits, chin propped up in her hand. ]

What's it about?

[blokeraider]

[... great. He frowns, displeased by the fact that him acknowledging her was somehow an invitation.]

Elves. Dwarves. That sort of thing. It's very, very boring.

[degleamed]

[ She chuckles. Because that was a joke, right? Of course a book like that wouldn't be boring! ]

Go on! [ TELL HER MORE. ]

[blokeraider]

Seriously, that's all there is to it.

[degleamed]

Of course it isn't! With that many pages, the elves and dwarves must be doing something. [ DUH. ]

[selfnamed]

You'd think that, wouldn't you? But they're not. In fact, I think I'm in the middle of the Glorfinzul begat Bedazzler begat Optimus Prime. It goes on like that for awhile.

[degleamed]

Hmm...[ Alright, she could understand that being a bit boring, perhaps. ] Then skip ahead to when the story starts!

[selfnamed]

Alright, here we go. [He flips the book forward about fifty pages, traces his finger on the first line and begins with:]

And Darth Vader begat Luke Skywalker who begat Captain Kirk.

[degleamed]

[ And none of those names ring any sort of bell.

She frowns. ] Let me see that!

[selfnamed]

[He covers the page with his hand and tsks at her.]

Ah ah, you have to wait your turn, young lady.

[degleamed]

Fine! I'll go find another copy, and then I'll tell you when the story starts! [ DON'T THINK SHE WON'T. ]

[selfnamed]

"Good luck with that. This is the only copy."
