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.

[She's from the Twenty-First century Earth, man! Thought you knew!]

Yeah, I mean, the padding would play a part in it, even if you weren't wearing all metal armor...But, I mean, there's always going to be some sort of discomfort when dealin' with these damn things. I just wanna make sure that it's impossible to get damaged in the battles that we supposedly get sent on during these...Shifts or whatever they hell they're called!

[erranthero]

Drafts, you mean?

[A simple correction, but listening to him...he's just a kid.]

And as for the armor, where I'm from we make it out of a different kind of material. It's pretty much weightless, but harder than steel. I take it you're from one of those worlds that hasn't quite made it out into the stars yet, huh?

[sewdamncute]

Y-yeah, those things! Whatever. [He's only newly 16, Kerra. Be nice to him, alright.] Well, we have ceramic armor. I think I read about that. Old Man Deidara made armor outta some pretty weird shit too and it was always comfortable and pretty light too.

[Now he's thinking about that old guy back home and wondering how to make stuff like that.]

Oh, uh, well, we got space travel on my planet, but it ain't nothing special. Just been to the moon and sent some machines to other planets?

[erranthero]

[Her eyebrow lifts...] Ceramic? Right...not exactly what I had in mind.

[She tugs off the chestplate she always wears. Don't worry, she's not Morrigan...and she has a flight suit on underneath. Bending it a bit, it flexes like it's made of plastic.]

This stuff. Plasteel. And I don't think that really qualifies, that's just beginning to wade out of the kiddie pool. Space is a pretty big place.

[sewdamncute]

[He's leaning closer to the journal to get a good look at what she's showing him. The ARMOR, not her...goods!]

Huh... Plasteel. That's like a plastic and steel hybrid, yeah? I'd have to talk to the guys down at the smithy. That would be interesting to see made.

[He pulls back with a thoughtful expression on his face.]

Yeah, I know that! I watch tv...sometimes! [And not just the Midnight Channel, okay!] It's just a recent thing on my planet. [Because 50 years is recent.]

[erranthero]

Yeah, I guess? Something...like that.

[Gosh, kid. A village smith making this stuff? Goooood luck.]

I'm...gonna guess you're an Earthling, right?

[sewdamncute]

Huh, that's interesting.

[Have you met some of the "smiths" running around this village? Winry Rockbell is a genius.]

Y-yeah, what's wrong with that?

[erranthero]

Did I say anything was wrong with it?

[Honestly...she's just messing]

[sewdamncute]

It ain't so much your words, but your tone was kinda...condescending, I guess?

[erranthero]

And?

[Why does that matter?]

Relax, I'm not making fun of you. Kriff, I'm probably not that much older than you.

[sewdamncute]

[He looks into the book and tries to figure out just how old this woman is.]

I-I guess so, but age don't mean shit in the face of actual experience. Even I know that.
