> > I had forgotten about some of those "possible" powers. I'd think all of them could be currently viable powers, since most of those have been used in some sense in a story. With #1, I like to think it's a bit of mystery: Is the just the suit or is it an innate ability? It's a grey area since no one knows Lee's origin story, not even me! \:\) I've thought up a few different possible origins for Lee but then I run into problems. So, I just leave it be partly because with that story I've got to explain a few things that I think work better for Lee if they are left general.

Yes.

> As for Lee's background, I think you have plenty of time to develop it at your leasure. I know you'd considered that this might be something of a family calling (hence the family surname).

There was that. But then I've thought about the surname being something the IOL gives their Librarians once they join up (Every Librarian who's ever works at the MPL has a surname that related to the job: Delbert Wordsmith, Ms. Worden, Steven Books, Len Bookmaker. There was one that that bucks the trend: Todd. But he might have served before surnames were the case with IOL members).

Ok. It might just be that it's been awhile.
