    Anna is in a tough place right now - she is legally independent, but like an emancipated child, it doesn't mean she can find work and earn her spot in the world either. So she's constantly trying to prove herself to herself, and also trying to feel less like a burden on the Lair Legion for allowing her to stay with them.


I thought you were heading in the right direction when she tracked down her creator and started exploring her origins.

By the way, I think there's got to be a good in-story reason why there can't be 1000 more Annas made. If she's such a deadly weapon that one of her can threaten the LL then there's no reason why someone, government of bad guy, wouldn't just go out and make lots more to turn on the heroes - unless you supply a reason.

It's the same thing as why there aren't thousands of Captain Americas.

    More irony in that is it would make her eager to join the LL to prove herself, but doing so would make her *more* prone to failure and feel worse about herself. Yuki would be smart enough to realize that and not offer her full membership until Anna is more self confident and can take the abuse.


Also, for all her sophistication, Anna is pretty much emotionally and experientially a minor. All the reasons for not putting Sam on the team probably apply to her too.

      Actually I think most if not all of them would work. The challenge is finding reasons for them not all to be there.



    Quote:
    The most clear reason at the moment, I think, is as "cool" as it would be to have all of them in, it would probably scare away some of the potential PV writers that I know of. With so few contributing already, that's probably not the way to go right now.


I was thinking of in-story reasons.
