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! Don't have one? Just dance your butt off.
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.

[Hey, Sokka still has to live with Ikki. He's not that irresponsible, Jinora.]

You guys had spirit pets? [Well, that certainly is one pet that he wouldn't be able to hunt for meat, the perfect pet to hoist upon Sokka, really.] Ikki didn't tell me anything about that. [Then again, she didn't tell him too much about the future as it was. He learned more about it from what Aang told him...] Then again, it's not like we met that many spirits when we were traveling around the world.

... Well, at least many animal spirits.

... that we'd want to keep as pets.

Anyway...

[Sokka actually grins brightly when Jinora laughs. That was the reaction he wanted to get. He likes making people smile, and his goofy side is definitely tailored to those ends.]

Yeah, maybe he's just like that. They all have different personalities. I would have picked the one that didn't like people first. [He shrugs a bit and comes over closer to Sugarfoot and gives her a little pat.] At least you're not like that.

[One can never tell with Ikki.]

Well, no. I've always been able to see them but no one else could. When we were at the Eastern Air Temple, I met Furry-Foot and his friends. Then Korra needed to go to the Spirit World but she had a hard time so I introduced everyone to the spirits. Uncle Bumi really liked one and he named it Bum-Ju but we were really the other two that connected with them. Meelo has a ring-tailed winged lemur though. [Which was almost like Momo in appearance.] Ikki didn't tell you because she doesn't know. I'm from even further in the future than she is.

What kind did you meet? [She's read the journals but storytime with Uncle Sokka? Much better.

Jinora ducks between the railings to get closer to Sugarfoot. With Sokka here, it would be okay.] What are the other ones like?

Oh. Well that makes sense.

[Stupid timelines being all weird in Luceti; despite literally talking to a great nice that's only a handful of years younger than him, he quite surprisingly forgot that the whole time continuum was entirely strange. Still, it was weird to even think of friendly spirits since they honestly never came across all that many.]

Well, the first spirit we met was this weird panda spirit! Was his name Hei Bai? I don't remember, but the important thing was that he was like twenty feet tall and had six legs and was ransacking the city we met him in. Aang went out to face it to try to calm it down, but the panda spirit wasn't eager to be calm. Seeing that Aang was in trouble, I went out to help him fight it, but... [Oh yeah... this was one of those embarrassing stories.] ...right, the panda grabbed me and ran off into the Spirit World. I... kind of don't remember what happened after that, but eventually Aang managed to make everything okay, and then next thing I remembered, I was back.

[Sokka doesn't make any sort of move to stop Jinora; with Sugarfoot, she should be okay. But he does give a small warning.]

Just make sure Sugarfoot can see you and you'll be fine. Horses don't like getting spooked, so it's best to make sure she knows your there when you pet her.

As far as the other horses, well, most aren't that picky about who rides them. Some of them are faster than others; some of them like being faster than others. Out of the ones we have here, there's only one of two types: really nice and friendly, or grouchy and picky.

[I mean, they are horses. They don't have complex personalities the likes of which Sokka would ever pick up on.]

[There are still some unfriendly spirits - like Wan Shi Tong and Vaatu. The years have not made the Great Owl Spirit any nicer, nor has he forgotten the last time humans were in his library.

But Jinora listens eagerly, only partially paying attention to Sugarfoot. Sokka's is more interesting than the strange animal. As his story continues on, her eyes widen in amazement. Some of the smaller details just aren't in the journals.]

Why was he ransacking the city, Uncle Sokka? [Don't worry she isn't the kind to poke fun at the embarrassing stuff. Unless it's his love life.

At his advice she finally turns most of attention over to the horse. Even if she isn't nearly as big as Oogi, an accident could still hurt. Jinora lifts her hand so Sugarfoot can sniff and once they acquainted she stands next to her to pet her neck.]

Have you seen a lot of the animals that live on this world? Grandpa said he'd take me to find them all.

[It just so happens that there was a spirit Sokka met that had a lot to do with his love life! He just hasn't mentioned it yet!]

It had to do with something the Fire Nation had done to the forest while they were occupying the Earth Kingdom. They had burned an entire forest down, and that panda spirit was the guardian of the forest or something like that. [Sokka is clearly not the expert on spirits.]

I've seen a few of them. [He chuckles for a bit.] Actually in truth, I kind of panicked when I found out that the animals here can talk, even if it is just the result of the weird magic that allows us to understand everyone here despite the fact that some of us speak different languages.

Most of the little critters I've found are kinda similar to ones we have, except everyone else says that our animals are like taking two different animals and combining them together. That still is a weird concept to me, really.

[Beware when that day comes, because she will be all over that.]

That's terrible! No wonder the spirit was so angry. [She's no expert either but Jinora would be upset if someone destroyed her home.

Hands cover her mouth but there's just no stopping the laughter.] It is a little strange for them to talk. When I heard them, I thought they were spirits.

Grandpa told me the same thing. Maybe you could come with us to see them all and you won't find it so weird afterwards.

[He has practically decided that Sokka's grandchildren are the best thing on the planet. They laugh at all of his jokes, they revere him as a wonderful uncle, and he practically doesn't even have to work at it! He doesn't even care what Katara thinks; he's certainly adopting these guys!]

Oh believe me, every day I'm here, Luceti just gets weirder and weirder. There's not been a single un-weirding of this place yet. One day I think I've finally come to accept all the weirdness, the next day, HYAH! [He does something of a karate chop. A handful of the horses whinny in surprise at the sudden movement, Sugarfoot included.] It sneaks up on me and does something crazy!

But I'm sure the animals will feel like second nature before too long. [Not that it's hugely important. Sokka is pretty much an equal opportunity carnivore.]

[One day Sokka will meet the kids. Uncle Bumi is never boring and has his own set of jokes and stories to tell. But Jinora thinks her whole entire family is wonderful.

Her eyes widen at his karate chop and she reaches up to calm Sugarfoot down. Grandpa and GranGran seem so adjusted to the things that happen here, even if they aren't exactly good things.] What's the weirdest thing that's happened to you so far?

[Jinora knows that it's really the Air Nomads and Acolytes who are vegetarians but the idea of Sokka eating the animals doesn't quite cross her mind at this moment.] Especially if Ikki tries to adopt them all.

[And she might. Actually, Jinora is surprised that the house isn't overrun with animals.]

Weirdest thing to happen to me? [He pauses for a moment to think about that.] Well, there hasn't been much that's happened directly to me, but one night my hair grew like a foot in a matter of seconds. That... was more than a little disturbing.

However, knowing all the weird stuff that's happened to everyone else, well, I just have a hunch that that's not going to last.

[Ah, such positivity, Sokka.]
