    Just a couple of things:

    * by decreasing gravity, Jaime can duplicate lifting strength to levels higher than Tom; in addition, Jaime's power runs a gravitational field through incredibly large objects that increases their structural integrity (so they don't crumble under their own weight). This is like an equivalent ability that USAES Cadet Kelly Springer has for her hyper-strength ability (except her's is psionically-based).

    * Jaime can generate high-gravity fields around his appendages (primarily his arms and hands) in order to simulate hyper-levels of strength. We know that he can throw objects hard enough to break the sound barrier (Mach 1-plus speeds minimum), and that he can hit Tom with super-strength (but it's not enough to affect him, but can cause massive shockwaves that can heavily damage or destroy nearby structures.

    In the 'Mini' 'Jaime and His Choices', we saw that Jaime can:

    * exert fine control over his gravity fields; enough so that he can bend light/visible EM energies around himself or hold it in position (we saw him stop a laser cannon blast in the firing range, and hold it in position with no effort)

    * compress extraordinary amounts of matter into extremely small shapes. Taking after Jane's example with her hammer and a junkyard with material to form it with, Jaime took the entire contents of a junkyard and compressed it into a bar of ultra-heavy material the shape/size of a regular candy bar. (Jodie theorized that he could compress the material down to pin-head size, but didn't ask him to for fear that he might accidentally achieve fission and cause a nuclear explosion.)

    Jaime can possibly fly at faster speeds than he imagines, but does not have the physical capability to survive such speeds unaided. (He may be able to do so with equipment like Jodie's force-field belt generator - if he had a similar device used just for flight.) He is, however, faster and far more agile in flight with his own powers than with a Legion flight ring (he suffers no penalties for high-speed flight maneuvers, and only Julia is more capable in flight than he is). For purposes of flight and flying combat, Jaime can use his power score as DEX.

    Because of his fine control over his fields, Jaime can lift multiple objects and move them in a telekinetic-like matter. At present, he can only do this with large objects (sports balls and larger) and he is only capable of simply movement at present. He can only manipulate six objects of large automobile-size or smaller at one time, or three of anything bigger (regardless of size). For attempting to affect multiple objects in this way, Jaime's power score is used as DEX; for every additional six objects he tries to manipulate, his DEX goes down -1 (his DEX can never go below 4, for purposes of the number of objects he can manipulate/his success in doing so).

Starry Night

[b]The story so far[/b]:  As the Legion prepares to enter a new phase of existence, and after Elsie makes demands on Mack to known the entire story of the falling out between Tom and the Legionnaires, Julia arrives at Elsie's doorstep with a display of shock and awe to act as dissuasion from pressing the matter.  Meanwhile, Daria, Jane and Quinn check an item off their Legion 'to do' list by showing up at the Young People's Choice Awards. In the background, someone screamed.  It was a member of a rock quartet in heavy rotation on Hits One.  His voice was intelligible yet cut through the party atmosphere like a razor blade. "Why has he been screaming all this time?" Daria said. "I guess he heard his own song," Jane said, smirking.  "That's the advantage of being a telepath.  You can just express your opinions without noise pollution." Daria guided Jane away from the crowd.  "Watch out," Daria warned. "You know," Jane

Writeups: Fran Lawrence

Update:  Richard Lobinske has revealed Fran Lawrence's birth name. The first of the three "hard" writeups, since these are characters that have been to one degree or another out of my creative control. I had to make some hard choices about Fran's use of Shrinking as a ranged power.  I read BG's suggestions but felt they were a little too powerful, so hopefully what I have is a compromise.  Maybe Fran can still keep objects shrunken indefinitely, but the power has to be reapplied every so often. I still don't know what the RV of Salazarium is, so I'm giving it a BODY = 6 for now.  It's a soft, heavy, malleable metal something like lead.  Giving it a BODY >= 6 leads to creep of making it the next Adamantium.  (The Alliance undoubtedly wears Salazarium alloys that have greater RV.) Fran Lawrence's creator, Richard Lobinske, never got back in touch with me.  Therefore, Fran's name is final for now unless he states that it's actually

Profit and Loss

Newest ep:  Elsie and Mack have an unpleasant discussion. (* * *) Angier and Mack were finishing up the 18th hole.  It was what Mack's grandmother used to call "a blessed sunny day".  Even though he was a trained athlete, he was still getting used to the subtleties of golf. "Golf," Angier told him, "is not like football, or baseball, or basketball.  The concept of an 'insurmountable lead' doesn't exist.  You can be four strokes ahead of your nearest opponent, you've got two holes to go, the 17 is a par-four and the wind is at your back.  [i]And then you get the yips.[/i]  Before you know it you've double-bogeyed the hole and your confidence is destroyed.  You go from winner to loser in the blink of an eye." "People think that life is football," Angier said.  "But smart people know that life is golf.  Patient accumulation, loving care spent on each instant, never resting on your laurels." As the cart chugged
