I don't know what the above post means, but this is seriously the best story beginning we've had so far. Just goes to show the "kill a character in the first post/issue" formula really does work  .

Magic. She mostly uses Pied Piper (the ability to hypnotise through song) Healing, Channeling and Dream walking (the ability to bi-locate [Remove her soul completely from her body], to astral project [her dream self leaves her body] and the abilty to control the astral realm.). However, when she split her adventurous side (Annilation) from her old dorky self (Aislinn Jayne Lujan, but also known as AJ, or Jay) she also made it so that Annilation had most of the magic power. She can access it at any time. Jay is the ying yang between her old self (Aislinn) and her wild side, Annilation. If Annilation is allowed to much control, she would turn supervillian, and do it way too well (she even has the "Top 100 Things I'd Do as an Evil Overlord" in her favorites (no kidding, look here http://www.eviloverlord.com/) Chant seems to have Annilation in the bag (sock, whatever) so things will pretty interesting from here on in. If separated from Annilation for too long, (and let's say too long is a week) Jay will begin to take on the whimplike traits of her former self. If Jay doen't access Annialtion, her powers are Extreme Luck (both good and bad, so her car will break down, but a friend with a car will pass by that road a few minutes later), and she can do small time stuff like card reading, glamour (changing her appearence [without Annilation it lasts for five minutes]) and a 'sense of danger'(she knows when something bad is going to happen, but it could be as mild as not getting what she wanted on a order at Mc Donalds ["I asked for two apple pies, not a Sundae] to really bad ["We're going to die. Tell my sisters that they are all pains in my ass."]) . She chose to call herself Jay Orin, first as a nomme de plumme, then as a super hero monicer. Damn, I didn't even breath when I typed that out. I'm usually that mouthy. Ask Wednesday, he had two classes with me, the poor man.

It's all good Jay, We at the JLR tend to find the more limited heroes more interesting to write. If a character is too powerful kinda throws the whole angle off. Not to say that no one ever does anything cool ever, but if anyone is ever godlike (or goddesslike for that matter) as Im sure you understand, it robs the story of any kind of suspense. Whats the fun of creatively getting out if a situation if our uber character can just snap their fingers and all is well? I think we can limit her but still make her cool and interesting.

besides, being too powerful opens you to ridicule from notable characters and posts such as myself, Wednesday, Brittanica, aaaaand pretty much everyone else at the JLR, except a few posters who shall remain unnamed

I really don't want to be a goddess anyways.
People would always blame me for crap.
"Jay, why the hell is it raining in doors?"
"Damned if I know."
"But you are God."
"And?"
"That means it's you fault."
"Why not Wednesday? He's the one with the new powers every week."
"You are God. You gave him his powers."
"I did?"
"Yep."
"Oh, crud."

True. I think it is called a Deus Ex Machina (God of the Machine). I did that to one of JLR threads.

Deus Ex Machina is God of the Machine.
In Greek plays they would hoist this huge thing on stage that was supposed to be one of the Gods or Goddesses. The "God" would fix whatever went wrong. Now it means that a writer resolved everything. Like a stage coach coming out of nowhere and saving people, thus ending a story.
I hope so. Mary Sue are a pain to write, and noone (not even me, and I have created a few) likes 'em.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_ex_machinaMy bad. But in Literature, it's usually used to refer to the "Hand of God" resolving a situation. But you're right... "God comes from the machine."

Hey Kaz, it's all good.
I just like Deus Ex Machina better, because it sounds so cool.
Yes, I realize I am an egghead.

True. I think it is called a Deus Ex Machina (God of the Machine). I did that to one of JLR threads.
Yeahm it's no biggie. I think it actually creates a better set-up for this new story, as the two kinda bleed together, rather than previously when story threads have been distinct and separate.
