Cyrania, I like Chloe a lot, except it's exclusively a girl's name. Now we can invert the name and come up with a female Hastings. Not a problem for me. But so far we have Thora Hazel, Captain Ormond Rydderech, Roberto Flambeau and Chloe/Chloe. Pale yellow, red-earth, red and green. A nice ensemble for a color palette.

I would still like to see purple in Ormond's working, and if you bounce the red-earth colour a little with purple you get a handsome dark wine shade that fits the puce/purple color. Apparently you have to be a mage and work with runes to establishe the mage ad a mage, so what if Captain protects the camp at dawn with a rune glyph-like circle which will last all day? It comes out purple and Ormond uses red and blue Dust. Whatever. What do you think? (Heredity may come into it; Ormond may be a cousin a half-dozen times removed if necessary.)

I laughed out loud when you suggested the weapons. I kept seeing Ormond with a curved blade and knew it wasn't a katana. Of course it's a scimitar! Likewise Flambeau's epee. These are their perfect matches, and they can be convoluted into any other thing we want, guns are perfect; their allusions always used them. Now Thora's fan has me wondering just what you meant. The pack of knives that fan out all around Penny any of which she sends wherever she wants? The Japanese fighting fan with razor-like edges which the women used when left at home while the men were at war? They were so good, one of the emperors (or more) hung one from his belt and used it. Or are you thinking about something more like Xena's long-distance chakrum (natural or enhanced) which will return to her hand.

Any of them could have guns. What about a tranquillizer gun for Thora? Or the doctor, Captain Ormond. For use on the bad guys they want to interrogate seriously. I suddenly thought that our flying spy Blaine could use a tranquillizer dart gun in the woods.

Why haven't RT used a tranquillizer gun before?
