the (final?) 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.

Most of us, yes. Some of the spirits are native to this world. They aren't exactly like the ones we know of. I've never seen one but I can sense their presence.

There are many spirits that humans are unable to see. I am not surprised.

[Raava moved slightly, lifting herself to have a look at Jinora from above her head.]

You have been touched by a spirit. Yet you do not act as others of your kind do when they have been changed.

[She means the wings.]

That is true but I have a stronger connection to them than most. I could see them when others couldn't.

[She's not even intimidated when Raava looms over her to see her wings.]

Everyone here has wings that are connected to our life force. Even you, Raava. [Jinora points to where she can see those matching wings on the large spirit.]

[Raava pulled back and twisted herself around, trying to grab a glimpse of these supposed wings. She could not do so easily, but once she did she returned to her place on the ground and attempted exert control over them.

...yes, she could feel them now.]

There is a great power at work here. I did not even notice them.

[Her tone was troubled, but not accusatory. Clearly the human girl before her was not involved in their appearance.]

[Jinora watches as the spirit tries to see her own wings and even for a boneless being it's difficult. Though she has to wonder if those wings would grow and shrink as Raava does.

A nod of her head.]

It's important to not damage them or it could destroy you. [Since Raava couldn't actually die.]

[She stretched them some more but wasn't particularly worried about it. They were wings. It would take a lot more than damaging them to destroy her.]

I will keep that in mind.

[No she wouldn't. But she was curious now.]

You speak of our world and know of me, and your markings are akin to others I have seen before. Do you come from a settlement on the back of an ancient Lion Turtle of Air?

[Honestly, she wasn't really sure how it would work with a spirit like Raava. Wan Shi Tong was better to answer the question.

She knows about this, asked Korra all about it after Harmonic Convergence was over. Asked about the first Avatar and Raava and everything she'd seen. Jinora shakes her head.]

No, no humans live on the backs of Lion Turtles anymore. It's been over ten thousand years, Harmonic Convergence has come twice.

Harmonic Convergence has come more than twice. But your words imply you speak of a different two than I am aware of. Tell me what you know, human.

Yes. You and Wan were successful in stopping Vaatu, trapping him in the Tree of Time but the two of you were bonded. Humans left the backs of Lion Turtles after Wan separated the Spirit World from the mortal realm by closing the portals with most of the spirits on the other side but peace still wasn't obtained.

When he died at the end of his time the two of you were reincarnated into an Air Nomad. A cycle was created that we began to call the Avatar. As time went by people forgot that the two of you were trying to bring peace not just between humans but also between humans and spirits. They forgot about you and Vaatu, most of them anyway.

So when the next Harmonic Convergence came around the Spirit Portals were opened again and a man, Unalaq intended to bond with Vaatu. They succeeded. You and Korra, the most recent reincarnation, fought them but they were too strong due to the war Unalaq had instigated in preparation. They ripped you from Korra and destroyed not just you but the bond you shared with her and all of the past lives. When Unalaq and Vaatu began to attack one of the human cities, Korra managed to fight them off while trying to find light in the dark. I sensed it and brought your light back into the world which allowed Korra to pull you from the darkness and defeat Unalaq and Vaatu by purifying the Dark Spirit. Before Harmonic Convergence was over, you and Korra bonded once again.

The Spirit Portals remain open so that humans and spirits can try to live together peacefully. [It's not perfect yet but they're working on it. There are more Airbenders to try to help bring that peace about now.]

[Raava listened in silence and remained silent for some time after Jinora quieted. The tale was one that, by many standards, could be considered too fantastical to be real. But it was not in Raava's nature to believe she might be being lied to. Even about this.

While much of what she said was disturbing, Raava found herself unable to feel anything but the heaviness of duty.

Eventually, she spoke, her voice softer, but no less firm than usual.]

Then it would seem the world, and I, owe you a great debt for allowing my return before I would naturally return. What is your name, human?

[It wasn't in Jinora's nature to lie but Raava doesn't know that yet. She doesn't know this young airbending master. But she will. One day.

She shakes her head.]

It's us that owe you a debt, Raava. You have been keeping the balance for longer than we ever realized, it was only right that I should help. My name is Jinora.

[Well, flattery didn't get you everywhere with Raava, but sincere respect was a good start.]

There is no debt owed me. It is my duty and purpose to maintain the balance.

[Troubling as it was that she would bond with Wan to do so, it was comforting to know that they would succeed in defeating Vaatu and continue to maintain that balance. But the revelation also meant that despite having been brought to Luceti, whatever time she would be forced to spend there would not keep her from her task.

Raava couldn't exactly relax in way that was recognizable as such, but there was some worry that left her. She did not have to hurry now and could take the time to indulge in some personal curiosities. Though, she did still have a concern that she felt compelled to ask about.]

I was with Wan before I found myself here. Have you seen him, human?

[Yeah, she knew Jinora's name now, but habit was habit.]
