Quote: In Liu Xi's case the problem is that if her soul leaves her body, even temporarily, it's been booked. That leaves me wondering if they've made a mistake, though - her powers might be attached to her spirit, not her body. Though the only way to find out for sure is to kill her and be disappointed that the body isn't terribly powerful by itself. Quote: Actually, the island's Celestian defences were set there in prehistory to protect the Sleeping Celestian and his Cosmic Cube. Both are gone now but the defences still operate.I wonder if there's anyone the defenses might mistake for a Celestian? Lara Night has the ability to hop universes, but I don't know if that's enough since she's not genetically related to them. Faite, however, was plucked from primitive Earth and given her job, and her powers, but some unknown supreme being - she may have been an engineered partial Celestian for all we know. Quote: This is, of course, useful for stories. We can have as many supervillain attacks as we like on the Mansion and there's no help at all, but then there's a reason why Galactivac can't just anihillate the entire island so our heroes have a slim chance of stopping him.And if you note the above, it might mean someone has the ability to trigger the defenses on purpose, but doesn't know it yet. Or maybe in Faite's case, knows but doesn't want to. Quote: The Mansion may well be somewhat sentient, and it may "like" its residents. It's banshee howls when they die.They have no plans to do that either. Quote: Quote: But, if Beth's brain activity is reading like she's asleep instead, and her body is being manipulated like a puppet, that Anna might think is very unusual.Quote: It's something to explore one day.Like I said, Anna is very set on minding her own business to prevent problems with her presence in the mansion. The big exception to that might be if she makes some offhand comment about Citizen Z sleepwalking. Though nobody might pay attention to that. Quote: There are three classic enemy types, the opposite, the almost-alike, and the manipulator. The opposite would be someone very different in power-set but still able to threaten Yuki physically; a biological monster stronger but slower, perhaps. The almost-alike would be another cyborg - maybe a male - who can do what Yuki can but who uses his abilities for evil. Their confrontations then become battles of wits and strategy. The manipulator is more like the puppet master you cite and would need to be tied to Yuki's past, her origins.I thought about having another cybernetic person, but since Yuki's body is supposed to be so prohibitively expensive (and prone to rejection, which makes it even more scary for anyone to spend the money to produce one) it's going to be very rare. Of course it would have to be someone really insane, since it's unlikely two people would have similar accidents - so perhaps someone with lots of money looking for immortality, but didn't bond well with the body so it made him crazy. | |||||||
