Re: Rumour is there's a new Superior PDF this month
Just because not many others have done so, I'll bet on Children.
Incidentially, I'd really really like to see a writeup on Jean. There's such great potential in Lightning. (And how do you pronounce his name, anyway? Like the French do?) |

Re: Rumour is there's a new Superior PDF this month
Just since subscribers to the mailing list could probably google this up anyway...
The only two Superiors in queue at the moment are Zadkiel and Litheroy. Asmodeus is entering playtest in the next couple of days. I want a Jean writeup as well. However, in the interests of marital harmony and the author keeping his job, I can't chain him in the basement and wait for a first draft to appear. I tend to pronounce his name the American way. Naughty me. I'm sure it should be the French way.

As far as IN stuff, I too would like to see Jean get a write up. He just seems like a very important superior who has been pased by. I also put Marc and Novelis in the same catagories. |

Regarding the name, I usually pronounce it "zhaan", the French way. The notion of pronouncing it "jeen" suddenly made me realize that Jean's writeup will probably include some very interesting information about Jeanne, and the history of women in academia. Of late, I've been having the fierce urge to pronounce his name "Rehael," but my players aren't interested in a Cabal crossover... ;^) |

Re: Rumour is there's a new Superior PDF this month
And I'm rather curious to learn what Jean was in charge of in the days when Gabriel was overseeing Divine Inspiration & Raphael was set over research, academia, & the expansion of human knowledge & ideas. My bet is that Jean used to do alot more in the Vengence of the Lord area before Gabriel started to slip & took that over and he picked up the slack in Divine Inspiration.

Re: Rumour is there's a new Superior PDF this month
Welle we know canononicallt that he was involved in gathering the worlds knowledge along with Yves and Raphael, since at least 100 million BC. So that aspect of his Word has existed for at least that long - predating humans even.
We also know he was involved in aiding the human discovery of fire. So it seems Jean's always been about that flash of insight, the fow of energy from place to place, and the appliance of science. THe interaction between Fire and Lightning as metaphors (and their interaction with Light) is an interesting one. Both bring Light - one does it with cold precision, the other with unfocused spread. One flashes briefly, then stops - the other can rage uncontrollably, or burn continually. One warms and can be domesticated easily (althoug never fully dominated) - the otherdefied capture by human ingenuity until the last century or so. Given how the human discovery of fire almost certainly went, Fire and Lightning are also inextricably linked in the minds of early man. Hmm, now I'm wondering about a possible Gabriel/Jean love story... but what would Raphael have thought? |

Just want to say though I love the fact that were that the case, Heaven's two most high profile examples of romantic relationships were with beings IDENTIFYING as the same sex (Blandine/Beleth, Jean/Gabriel [who was "male" at the time]), a fact that I'm sure Laurence, Dominic, & Khalid absolutely LOVE to be reminded of as often as possible... or so Eli claims :) |
