...or a huge source of untapped power. That might explain why magic users always have large libraries...

The presence of an elf might imply the presence of an unknown Immortal. Also Elves may share the Immortal dislike of vamps...

I get a "recognition" vibe from Elliot. I am likely projecting somewhat here but he feels similar to my own headspace. Though I identify male, always have, always will, I have, for lack of a better term, a strong female voice inside of me. If I got a cheerleadra-like superhero spell, both the male and female sides of me might enjoy the experience, albeit for very different reasons.

I'd expect Elliot could break character with the Mild Mannered form to get her to find where The Gang is at in a timely manner...

Elliot is forgetting he can break character if he wants.

This being Ed Verres, he may even know if Susan knows she's adopted... -

Ms. Pompoms is likely to face an angry Susan regardless if she waited this long to tell Susan something big and important. If Ed Verres comes up empty, the best Ellen and Nanase can say is "we *think*... "We think Diane is your sister because resemblance, birthday and magic affinity". "Diane *is* adopted so it's possible you are." I think we can agree that Ellen and Nanase shouldn't present their suspicions as fact unless they know it is fact. In some ways, talking to Ed Verres makes things harder because room for doubt lowers the emotional ante. -

There's relationship risks regardless of what Ellen and Nanase do. Any choice that doesn't involve talking to Susan risks provoking anger or disappointment via "Why didn't you tell me?" -

It's not a matter of who or even what Susan believes. It's a matter of what the right thing is and doing it. It's perfectly OK to introduce Susan to Diane, lay out the case for Susan being Diane's sister and have Susan not believe a word of it. That's her choice. Trying to set up a "perfect situation" that forces Susan to believe is an exercise in egocentrism, demanding Susan come to believe what I want her to believe on my schedule. I would want to give her the respect of deciding what she believes in her own time. Which is why I say go directly to her or butt out. Do not bother Ms. Pompoms. -

I'm of the opinion that, if you're going to do something, go straight to Susan. She's 18, she's an adult, she's mature, she deserves to know, if she doesn't know already. If you aren't going to go to Susan, butt out altogether. Give Susan the respect of being up-front or respect her privacy by being silent. Sneaking around, trying to finesse Susan's mother just makes for the sort of confusion that can be more hurtful to Susan than any news about her parentage. Elliot has the right idea. Talk to Ed Verres first. Get the lay of the land before deciding where to travel. -

Which is worse? Going behind Susan's back to her mom, or bringing the idea to her "We think Diane may be your sister and here's why", then come back a bit later and say, "Guess what? Diane's adopted." Or even let Diane spill those beans. -

Would going behind Susan's back really be a wise idea? -

I know what server you spent a lot of time on... I was fascinated by different combinations of power sets so I made a lot of experimental characters...and had the server space to keep them around. Some of my experiments got enough animating energy to be in the top tier of my roleplaying characters. I decided if you built a melee character, resistance-based was generally better than defense-based, and mixed sets gave mixed (and often unsatisfactory--looking at YOU, Ice Armor) results. I worked somewhat on healing-based sets and I liked them but wasn't sure where they stood compared to the other two. I was partial to Electrical Armor, Invulnerability and Fire Armor. Electrical Armor and Super-Strength were an awesome duo. I had tank and brute versions of this, both leveled to 50. Both were well into the Incarnate endgame content when CoH ended.

I understand about the limits on battery storage vs weight. I understand how a chemical reactant holds more energy in less space and how nuclear power holds orders of magnitude more energy for the same space. I was talking about graphene capacitors because batteries aren't viable and there's only so many practical and portable options. A capacitor might not be as good as a chemical solution ("lasing a stick of dynamite" if you will) but perhaps good for a reasonable shot or two...
-
What are you defining as a "medium-calibur solid projectile"? I wouldn't think you'd need the output of a nuclear reactor to power the laser equivalent to a 9mm pistol...
-
Could graphene capacitors give Susan a laser with a few meaningful shots and portability?

I actually spoke those words to my brother, who saw me playing a female character. He kinda looked at me funny and I could tell he was wondering WTF. I said, "Well, whose butt would you want to look at for several hours at a time?" I roleplay either gender as the mood strikes. About half of my characters had enough animating energy for me to write a bio for them. About half of those I have some idea how they think. About half of those I have a good idea of how they think. Half of those I can roleplay on demand. So when I run 70-30 female there's a lot of girls in the upper-echelons. Man I miss that game. Writing this reply, I've really had to resist going into "tell you about my character" mode...

I went about 70-30 creating female vs. male heroes on City of Heroes. Commonly I built the sort of female body that I was attracted to.

You do your best in what is often a thankless job. Even under stress you have striven to be as fair and impartial as you know how to be. And you make some witty comments as a forum-goer. Go if you need to. Stay as a non-mod if you want to. You're welcome here.
