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.

Claire tipped a thick-handled combat knife towards the light, inspecting its blade with a critical eye. It was nothing like the knife her brother had given her years and years ago, and for that she was feeling particularly melancholy. But beggars couldn't be choosers and it was better to be armed than sentimental. With a solid thunk, she shoved the knife back into its squat sheath and lifted her gaze just in time to...

Just in time to see some kid not four feet away, staring down the barrel of a handgun. A nice handgun -- she couldn't help but notice -- but a handgun all the same. Claire dropped the knife onto the counter and raised an open hand in warning. She was even about to say some stern words, but quickly thought better of the plan once her mind leapt upon the possibility of the boy being so startled he squeezed the trigger. For all she knew, the safety wasn't engaged.
