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 it's a little different from a rapier. [ He pulls a pen out of his pocket as a prop. ] A rapier is more for thrusting attacks. [ Like so, jabbing the pen forward into an imaginary enemy. ] A katana is for more slashing attacks. [ Another demonstration. ]

Well he's out for revenge and he's saving his gun for killing one specific person. So in the meantime he's fighting his way across the country with his sword.

Ohh... [Easy enough to understand, and Elizabeth supposes that if there are guns for various ranges, surely swords would be the same.]

So it's a revenge story. [She nods vaguely as she reads the bubbles, wondering what happened in the pages previous.] Like The Count of Monte Cristo. But with cowboys. [Sounds really cool...]

Pretty much. [ He holds out the first issue of the comic to her. ]

Wanna read the first issue? I've gone through a bunch of them already.

[Elizabeth looks at the comic, down at the book on physics in her lap, then decides that she's read a lot about physics in her life and that change was sometimes a good thing.] Sure! [Setting the heavy book aside, she takes the offered comic and sits down next to him.]

[She looks at the first page, takes a minute to glance everything over before asking:] So you just... read like a usual book, but each box is like its own sentence?
