the luceti test flight meme

Reserves are open 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 music? Try playing DJ at HQ, the new nightclub!
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.

You know, you're a very rude person.

[Here's an indignant huff from Anna.]

Look buster, all I know is the grocery store was out of food when I got here, I didn't steal anything. Now as to your question about whether or not people have things or goods for trade, I'm not completely heartless you know. As far as I know there isn't anyone Luceti too sickly, elderly, or young that they can't lend a helping hand, and people can feel free to pawn whatever they have for valuables to me, and work towards getting their goods back. People can help those who cannot help themselves, and I'll offer discount rates depending on the situation.

[Anna pokes her finger towards his chest, but stops just short of actually touching him.]

Now listen here, I'm a merchant. My mother was a merchant, my sisters, cousins, and aunts are all merchants, and so help me the unnatural way this world has worked has gone on far too long! It's unnatural I tell you! So I'm going to open a shop here, whether or not you people think it's crazy, moral, or fair!

[Woah, woah, woah, someone's feeling rather burned all of a sudden, huh? He raises his hands in defense as her finger strikes out at him, trying to calm the situation. Though he can't help but smirk a little. She certainly had a strong will, he'd give her that.]

Geez, calm down lady, no need to get all indignant about it! So, you're saying you can't stand to see a place that's giving away their items for free? You really take your job seriously, don't you?

[Jack still couldn't say that he approved of holding this food to ransom but on the bright side, at least it would give him something to do around here. Even if everything was free here, he knew he couldn't allow himself to become complacent about things. Once he got back to Filgaia he'd have to fight for his money again, not to mention the more dangerous foes he would be facing. He seems to mull over it for a while longer before simply asking.]

What kind of help do you need? If it's something I can put a sword to then maybe we can arrange something.

[And while you two were off debating intensely over economics, this kid over here has been looking over the fresh produce! ... He's not sure why the groceries were moved over here, but hey. They're still there, so everything must be okay.

Someone very obviously missed the memo on the food not being free anymore, as Rudy picks up a carton of strawberries with a smile. And another. And-- okay, maybe a carton of blueberries too, and some raspberries. Carry on, you two. He'll just be on his way.]

[Sorry Jack, you're about to be ignored for a moment here, because Anna's merchant senses are tingling and she spots... A THEIF!!

Jumping over her stall, and pulling out a sword from hidden beneath her cloak, Anna works her arm around the boy who was about to flee so that the sword would be pressed up against his throat, not quite touching since she doesn't want to hurt him if she doesn't have to.]

And where do you think you're going valued customer? We haven't discussed the matter of payment yet. These berries didn't grow in the wild you know.

[Because saying they didn't grow on trees is just silly.]

And to answer your question blondie, the kind of help I need, might just include you now. I prefer not getting violent if I don't have to, so perhaps you could be so kind as to help guard my goods for the day.

[Seeing a blade flashing towards Rudy, Jack can't help but draw his own sword out of instinct. He's not pointing it at the boy though but rather seems to be keeping his eyes trained on Anna as he directs his attention to the both of them. She might not like violence but Jack doesn't trust her not to change her mind. Still, he doesn't make a move. With her sword that close to Rudy's throat, one slip and...]

The name's Jack. And if you want me to be your security, you might want to let go of my friend.

... What? He's your friend? You're not just saying that, right?

[Anna seems to look a little pale at the thought that she might have been this close to hurting a friend of one of her customers, and sheepishly withdraws her sword, sheathing it back without any fuss, and patting Rudy on the back reassuringly.]

Hehe... sorry about that Jack. In my line of work, you just... can't be too careful.

[Whoa there, this certainly escalated quick. Rudy immediately freezes, his posture stiffening at the, well, very sharp blade currently pointed at his throat.]

Ah, I-- um, payment, you said?

[Wait, we have to pay? He'll continue to stay frozen in place until Anna withdraws her blade. Then his posture relaxens, breathing a silent sigh of relief.]

Y-Yeah, we're friends. I'm Rudy. [There's a smile, albeit a rather nervous one as he holds out the various cartons of berries towards her. Peace offering? Peace offering. Please no violence, miss.] And, um, sorry... I-- well, I didn't know these were yours.

[Well now, since the sudden tension in the air seems to have cleared for the time being, Jack sheathes his own sword, glad nobody came to any harm. He glances to Rudy as he gives his offering before turning his attention back to Anna.]

Rudy's a good kid. If you won't believe me then at least believe him.

[As for her apology, what was it she said? Her line of work?]

It's not exactly safe in our world either, though we tend to save the swords for monsters rather than thieves. [Or demons, but that was another subject entirely.] Anyway, Rudy still has his head. I guess I can stick around for a while longer.

Oh no, it's not too much trouble. Just as long as you don't run off with my produce there without paying.

[Anna offers Rudy a friendly smile and her hand to shake, holding and balancing the berries dexterously in one hand.]

I'm Anna, pleasure to meet you, even under these rough circumstances. As your friend mentioned, I take my job very seriously, and my job is that of a merchant~!

S'nice to meet you, Anna. [With some brief hesitation on his part for a moment, he'll soon accept her hand, shaking it. Despite that incident, she does seem nice enough.]

Anyway, what's exactly going on? I was at the store earlier and everything was cleared out. [He lifts a hand to scratch the back of his head as he looks up at his friend.] And what's this talk about security, Jack?

Apparently all the food at the store went missing and our quick-thinking merchant here decided to set up shop and sell the stuff she'd already been hoarding. 'Sell' meaning to trade in this case, either with goods or labour.

[He hadn't quite expected Rudy to turn up while they were discussing things though, nor did he imagine things would escalate so quickly. Still, at least he knew how this Anna dealt with thieves now.]

Since she didn't seem to be letting up on the idea I thought I'd stay a while longer and give her a hand. We need food after all.

I'm terribly sorry boys, but I'm a true blooded merchant, always have been, and always will be. You both seem like decent enough sorts though, so I promise you'll not starve as long as you're working for me.

[Anna hands Rudy a hammer, some nails, and some plywood.]

Since your friend Jack seems to have security settled, would you be a dear and start putting these together here, here, aaaand here? I'd like to get my official store set up soon, and if I don't have my own building, these poor people might think my shop is just as free as every other store in this bizarre place.
