What's kind of funny about that is Lara is aware of it too. That's why she tried so hard not to interfere when she doesn't have to. She believes in something similar to what Chiaki keeps saying - that showing your true power all the time will force your enemies to seek even more power to defeat you. That's why she's so reluctant to show her full potential even when it costs her.

Unfortunately that also makes her less than ideal for the Lair Legion. They wouldn't be too happy with her if she opts out of most of their missions, would they?

It also makes it difficult for other writers to quantify what she's capable of. I thrive on abstract concepts like that, but a lot of people don't. So it's great for me, but putting her in a place where other writers might feel locked out isn't a good idea.





It does, but it's a story I'm not sure there's time to tell just yet with changes to the LL coming up so quickly.





That's the part that doesn't quite work and I haven't figured out yet. Anna is somewhat sympathetic right now because she doesn't really have a place in the world.


Oh and since it was mentioned, for those who read this besides HH, I figured he left out the Psychic Samurai purposely because I stated before that she would probably turn down any offer of Lair Legion membership. She knows her connections to Akiko Masamune and her checkered past might bring the whole LL into question, and she doesn't want to be the cause of that. Chiaki could probably be convinced at some point to join, but it's not going to be easy to convince her.





I haven't heard anything about that. Generally though, I'm not offended at all if none of my characters (besides Yuki) make the team. I've even presented some of the reasons why it wouldn't be a good idea myself. Not because I don't believe in them, but because the object is to choose characters who other writers will feel comfortable writing and be encouraged to do so. I'm well aware that the majority of mine don't fit the bill.
