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.

[Aang's just arrived at the beach when he sees Percy's spill. He's wearing his own swimming trunks, which reveals how much his arrow tattoos run down his body - along with the scar on his back. Regardless of that, he stands there and gives a friendly laugh as Percy comes back to shore.]

That was a nice try!

[Percy, on the other hand, as he makes it to land looks pretty normal-- save for the fact he's dryish. He's still grinning wildly as he raises a hand.]

Hey, dude, I'd like to see you do it your first try.

I'll be glad to show you! Except, it's not really my first try... [He gives a grin - it's one of those times he feels like horribly showing off. He jumps straight into the water and quickly puts some waterbending to work. He freezes part of the water into the shape of a board and hops onto it, then manipulates the water around him, making a wave he rides. At one point he struggles with his balance, but he keeps ahold and spreads his arms out with a cheer as he rides the wave.]

[Aang doesn't even give Percy a chance to respond before he's off, which is just all right with him. Since you know, cool water stunts he's never even tried before (but to be fair he wasn't actually often near the ocean). He was easily torn between cool and wow I suck. So when Aang started cheering Percy shook his head and grin.]

So cheating! [But you know what let's make this a little harder, okay. This would be Percy, stepping into the water and finding the current and willing the ocean to do what he wants-- that might be the wave starting to tunnel in on you after a few long moments...]

[At first, Aang is giving a cheeky grin at the accusation.]

Uh-uh! I'm just using my natural talents!

[And then Percy's trick kicks in. Aang didn't even see it coming - so he winds up taking a spill, calling out as he falls. He's a good sport about it, himself. He just groans at the water while he resigns himself to just float in it.]

Why, water? Why?

[Percy was already grinning his troublemaking grin at that, Aang. So when he goes out to greet him in the water it's not quite gone. But, hey, at least he was there to try and make sure Aang didn't drown if it came down to it.]

'Cause, good sir, those are my natural talents. [A smirk as he offers a hand to get on the surfboard.] And you so cheated around the wrong son of Poseidon. Half the fun's doing it on your own.

[That's very kind of him. But of course Aang can swim. He takes the hand, but with a look of disbelief.]

I- I guess so. [It's just easy for him to just think of bending as an extension of his body - so sometimes he can't really notice when it's an unfair advantage.] Wait, isn't Poseidon the name of a god? [He may not have that kind of god where he's from, but he's been checking out a lot of the local Luceti library, including some Greek myths.]

[Things Percy is sure of, but he's not intentionally trying to drown the kid! Just back up.]

You should try skateboarding. Without all the fancy tricks. [Because you know he's obviously got water power but maybe he doesn't have wind? ~~Oh Percy.~~ Percy just likes to do dangerous things and relying on the water takes out the dangerous aspect of surfing.] Yeah, Greek God. Lord of the sea, Earthshaker, Stormbring, Father of horses. And that last one gets really weird at a Macy's Day parade.

I think I've heard of skateboarding before! Maybe I'll look into it...

[But he's kind of flabbergasted by that.] Wow! That's great! I don't know what a Macy's Day is, but he must be a really neat dad! Does that mean that you've got horses for siblings?

Test Flight!

ohgosh aang <3

Yes! I'm canon blind but I've seen cool mash-up art!

S'good! The mash-up art is pretty accurate just imagine Percy a superpowerful waterbender :']

Ooh awesome!

yes they actually have bendingesque powers so it's sort of relatable!

Ah, the art I saw did make it seem like they did! Definitely CR to look forward to.

o/ Yes never gotta be around atla kids with him
