Test Flight!

[lucetimods]

the luceti test flight 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 flight 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.

[Ohh... so Shadow was just one creature, apparently one that could be summoned. So... it was like a Persona; he could understand that.]

Actually, I think I have a better idea from that description.

[He wondered if they worked the same... probably not, but it would be interesting to know if there were other worlds out there that also had Persona-like creatures.]

[worldchaindestruction]

How is that? I thought you said that your world didn't have anything like this.

[He was genuinely curious, although his interest was mostly academic at this point. Barring another world that had access to greater spirits, which he knew a few others were, he didn't understand why the stranger would say that.]

[linefacingforever]

[...well, he could probably tell this guy about Personae without being judged; he was already from a place with summoned creatures after all.]

Yeah... sort of. On my world, there's another world within television screens. We're able to summon creatures in that other world.

[Well, there was more to it than that.]

[worldchaindestruction]

[Keele stared at him, recognizing the problem with this conversation immediately.]

Now we've switched positions. I have no idea what a television is.

[linefacingforever]

It's... something that people watch for entertainment. Not something you'd normally use to travel between worlds.

[worldchaindestruction]

Interesting. But, without something to pierce the barrier, how is that possible?

[Because, clearly, the ability to travel inside an entertainment device is more facinating to him than any summons.]

[linefacingforever]

It's because we -- my friends and I -- were able to accept ourselves and summon our Personae.

[At least... he's pretty sure that was the reason; no one else, unless they had shaken Izanami's hand and had their Persona awakened that way, had been able to touch the televisions in Inaba and enter the TV world. It was the only common link.]

Personae are parts of our souls that we are able to call out to protect ourselves.

[worldchaindestruction]

That's very different from the Craymels then. They're spirits that exist in nature.

[The Greater Craymels were actually the minority. Any Craymelology student could access the Lesser Craymels, but that was all academic in nature.]

But these Personae sound quite interesting. Is it a universal skill, or is it limited to only a few people?

[linefacingforever]

It's... fairly limited; it depends on the kind of person you are.

[Not everyone could accept themselves; Kubo couldn't, and his Shadow disappeared, never to become a Personae.]

[worldchaindestruction]

So it is a little like Craymeololgy in that respect. Without the need to accept yourself, of course.

[He pursed his lips in thought as he considered the explanation further.]

Handling these Personae sounds almost religious in some ways, in the sense of the religions that focus on bettering yourself and don't follow a single god.

[He'd be charged for sedition yet again if he were in Inferia for just speaking those words.]

[linefacingforever]

That would make sense; many of the Personae I've seen and used are figures from religion and mythology.

[And let us not forget the death goddess. Ever.]

[worldchaindestruction]

Really? [He lifted his eyebrows. Anything that hinted at new knowledge and insight into the world immediately had his interest.]

Is there any specific pattern to the religious and mythical figures? Or are they completely incidental?

[linefacingforever]

[Yu paused to consider a moment.]

My friends and I started with Personae from… the mythology of the continent we're from. The rest of mine are from all over the world.
