Questions!

[maidmalapert]

I want to do a question meme and Jill hit 10,000 somewhere in the plot and things have been happening! So I am doing one. Also feel free to give me AU's to make up >.>

Ask me anything about Jill, Mau or Eliza's Brother or Chance if you want.

It does make sense! It's a fun relationship I am having fun with it |D

JILL AS A SUPERHERO, huh? Okay this is going to take a little lead up.

Once there were four children. Their names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, and one summer holiday they were chosen and granted super powers by a lion-like spirit from a higher plane: Peter got super strength; Susan got enhanced vision, hearing and coordination; Edmund got invisibility; and Lucy got healing. There was some messy backstory, but eventually they became a really close-knit family team of heroes, a fact they hid from everybody except the old professor they were staying with that summer -- he didn't have any super powers of his own, but he happened to be an expert on beings from higher planes, and ended up becoming their mentor in terms of how they could best use their powers.

The kids kept going to school and superheroing in their spare time, until a couple of years later when this dragon shows up and starts terrorizing their town. The Pevensies (or, as they are known in costume, the Stag, the Rabbit, Foxboy and Kit) head off to stop it, and eventually figure out that it is actually their really obnoxious cousin Eustace, who has been transformed by a less benevolent being from the same higher plane as the one who gave them their powers. SO they figure out how to untransform him but he is left with dragonish powers, but after his ordeal he is much less obnoxious and joins their team.

Eustace being so much less obnoxious (and more inclined to help other people) gets him a lot of notice at school even though nobody suspects he's actually Firedrake, the new superhero in town. Mostly it gets him more enemies, but it also gets him a friend, Jill Pole, who eventually does notice there is something weird going on with him and confronts him about it. He trusts her, so he decides to tell her the truth. She doesn't have any superpowers, but she ends up helping out anyway, and getting sort of reluctantly adopted into the team as a sidekick.

She keeps training (especially with Susan, who teaches her archery) and becoming more and more involved in missions, but she doesn't really have a code name or costume, she just... does stuff... and knows the family and struggles along and ends up helping a lot sort of by accident. She's a really good guide, so that helps.

Tragically, Susan/the Rabbit gets killed off (probably unnecessarily horribly because you said DC superhero). At this point, the lion spirit thing shows up again and gives the Rabbit's power to Jill and tells her to take up her mantle, which she does.

OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, haha

How is Tim settling in to Aather generally?

I will come back and answer this question in a bit but I WOULD READ THE HELL OUT OF THIS COMIC BOOK

[detectivewonder]

I think he's doing very well in Aather, generally. He's totally embraced the role & mission of a hero and the concept of his team, he's questing, he's getting caught up on everything as quick as he can and doublechecking his facts... but he's still being very Tim Drake about it; which means he really doesn't have a concept of his own limits yet. The fact that everything was so intense and fast-paced gearing up for the battle won't help that -- I suspect that's the pace he's going to keep maintaining, as continually as he can. Until someone forcibly sits on him, I expect he'll be overdoing... well, everything. As long as he can think of useful things to quest for he may have one open quest more or less continually - but maybe not, since he'll only quest for things he thinks are important enough?
