        Ah, but that's a quote from Cap (or Roy Thomas)

      Quote:

        Quote:
        Comics writing rarely reflects human nature. They're usually way more positive than reality.



    Quote:
    Except Frank Miller. And new Superman movies.


That's only a small portion.

      Quote:
      I actually thought about it a lot, what it would be like for Lara to be immortal. Most of that thought has been rolled into her personality: The fear of attaching to people only to watch them die; Unwillingness to wed or have children that she'll inevitably outlive and forget about; and finally, her reluctance to look back once she makes a decision.



    Quote:
    I don't think we've ever seen Lara in a real romantic relationship, or even a serious potential one. Why not is an interesting point to cover. Faite's input and perspective might be a good counterpoint too.


Seen, no, but she does talk about her last one from time to time. The one from back home where she fell in love with and then moved in with her career agent. Then he broke it off and kicked her out when she refused to marry.



    Quote:

      Quote:
      Faite has learned through bitter experience that it's way less heartbreaking than remaining a part of those lives. Though it also faintly reflects that unlike Lara, who's been avoiding a lot of human contact, Faite has been immersing herself in it, and suffering the consequences.



    Quote:
    Of your cast, Faite is one I try to skirt around the most because I admit I don't feel I've "got" her at all. In my head she slots into the "can-do-anything omniscient entities" catagory who need to be worked around to tell dramatic stories, like Chronicler, Shaper of worlds, HV, Eggo etc. Probably unfair, but I'd prefer to keep her sidelined than misrepresent her.


Not *anything* really, she can only change things at this moment in time. It doesn't affect people's memories, though, so it's not a substitute for a retcon, and won't work well for altering associations.

The most fun part of her, though, is figuring out how to motivate her to do something. She is generally unwilling to get involved in most anything because she has been around long enough to feel that it's futile.
