    The only small advantage to Faite becoming part of the group is that she sees *through* everything. It's not a special power, just a few millennia of seeing plans unfold and how they work. That might make her a de-facto leader from time to time if she's the only one who knows what's really going on. Her extreme patience bordering on apathy might annoy Kerry quite a bit, though.


How would that play into good stories, though? The Juniors tend to be "learning about life the hard way bickering as we go" tales. Having a millenia-old nigh-omnipotent sentience there is like having the ultimate nanny, even if she is dressed like a little girl. Authority figures like Vizh work with the Juniors because quite often the joke is on him. We can sympathise with his frustration even while he has fun poked at him.

That's not to say that good stories can;t be told with Faite. I'm just not sure how I'd do it in the context of this particulat cast.

    She also has built-in protection from becoming the go-to for everything, because all of that experience means she often doesn't see dangerous things as a threat because she's looking at a bigger picture. She has to learn how to protect friends (and make them, too).


As I understand it, she's infinite going on about 12. She'd fit better interacting with Magweed, Griffin, and Sam Featherstone.

    I actually think Vesp meeting and talking to Lara Night might be inspiring to her. Lara is free-spirited, authority rejecting, mischievous pirate type of personality, yet very civilized. Vesp has probably never quite seen anyone like that before, and it might be inspiring to just how far her own freedom can reach.


It would be an interesting encounter, although Lara would probaly send Vespiir shy again.

      If anything, Chiaki is probably impressed at how Laurie manages to hold that madness at bay and harness it to good effect.



    Quote:
    Chiaki would subscribe to same school of thought Superman does in these cases: Give the person every chance, but be ready to stop them if necessary.


Noted.
