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.

Focused intently on a rabbit, Elizabeth only notices the dense fog once she's in the midst of it. Then she's a little lost, wandering through the low-visibility feeling a mix of curiosity and concern.

And then she sees something big, and mechanical, and holding a book. What she thinks it is and who it actually is, doesn't really compute. How it's there, and why, Elizabeth doesn't know, but she immediately lets out a startled and scared noise and turns to run.

Oh goodness that scared noise does not go unnoticed! The smoke shifts and swirls around the large creature and also Elizabeth, before it recoils into the bronze scaled body of the beast before her. He'll crane his neck around, rather alarmed, the colored smoke within his glass eyes changing from a milky white to a subtle orange blended turquoise color.

"Oh! Good heavens. Are you alright? I. I did not mean to startle you." His voice is hollow sounding as if it's coming out of a pipe. He'll fully turn around then, trying to mind the trees with his tail and wings. Though they shudder and shake anyway as he quickly maneuvers himself around the confined area.

With the smoke cleared, Elizabeth can see that what she thought she'd seen and who she's looking at are different things. Very similar, strikingly similar especially with the glass eyes, but he speaks. And, most importantly, hasn't picked her up to haul her back somewhere. She blinks, still nervous, but not running for cover anymore.

"I... I'm fine," Elizabeth says, eyes darting around the build of this... mechanical dragon. "I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else."
