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.

Not exactly the classiest intro to Luceti, kid. [Yup. He used 'kid' anyway, because that's how he bubs.]

It wasn't meant to be an intro to Luceti, old man. [yeah, she used 'old man' in response to his 'kid', it's the closest she's getting to 'dad'' at this point and it's almost nota insult when she says it like that.] i didn't realize the book could do this, record people's voices without the person meaning to.

I ain't a kid, Logan. Ain't ever been a kid. [Stop calling me that, is her underlying, implied message.] Besides that, it's true, every last word. Although I'm not sure I understand why we've been given the wings. They're too small to be useful. Smacks too much of experimentation for me to get too comfortable.

[and this doesn't count as the most she's ever talked, logan, because it's you she's talking to. ]

~~((OOC: If she gets accepted, Logan should totally introduce her to Arya. I have a feeling those two'd be interesting to see interacting. ))~~

[It isn't the first time he's heard 'old man'. Hell, it's accurate. As accurate as her being a kid is, so he doesn't let it bug him.]

Yer not supposed to get comfortable around here. If the wings're making it hard to 'settle in', then count that as a good thing.

Then why aren't people trying harder to get home? It ain't about getting comfortable around here, it's about being uncomfortable with the whole being somebody's expermient [ a beat and then she adds] again. Hell, you know well as anybody that's why I did what I did to get free of HDYRA. [even now she's beating around the brush regarding her presumed 'death'. It's not a topic she likes to dwell on.]

I had to cut holes in my uniform's shirt to accommodate the wings. Do you know how hard that is to do with just claws?
[another beat] Don't answer that. Of course you do.

How in the hell am I supposed to count them making it hard to settle in as a 'good thing'?

Because you shouldn't settle. You shouldn't get comfortable. We might be in a cage, but that don't mean we have to get used to it. If wings botherin' your uniform is keeping you on edge, that means it's keepin' you alert and smart.

It ain't even about the wings, really! It's about being caged. My whole life, I've been caged, one way or another. Only when SHIELD believed me dead was I able to feel like I was free tor the first time.And now I'm here, my freedom stolen from me and with tiny, useless wings on my back. I don't like being caged. Like an animal. Like something others can control. It makes me all on edge just thinking it.

I know what you're goin' through, believe me. I don't like this place any more than you do.

Well, that's... Something. Something good, ya know. [yeah, she's got nothing more to say on this subject. Subject dropped, alright? Case closed.]
You know, I never really got why you protected me from SHIELD, but.. Um.. [ A beat. She's not good at the whole 'thanking people for stuff they've done for you' thing. She's not good at the 'being social' thing either.] .. Ah, uh.. Thank you. For whatever you told that eye-patch guy. [look, she doesn't know Fury's name, kay? She just knows he's got an eyepatch, so that's what she's defaulting to calling him, okay?] Both times.

Nick Fury? Hell, I'd have done it just to piss 'em off. But that ain't the reason I did it, kid.

[... actually saying why is a bit beyond him, not being one to convey those kind of emotions openly. But there's an implication there.]
