it's kinda canon Julian doesn't age, he's just one day going to end up hideous

which means eventually I'm probably gonna do a thing where he ends up the way all his species ends up because I'm mean

...I just need to decide what kind of hideous because the other shadow guys are... variable

it's probably one of the bigger actual fears he has

sadly though I'm not sure this is otherwise a Julian event :-P he's... well, he's not not a fighter, but usually he has the advantage of being intangible if he wants

in canon he has fenris and jormungandr cough a giant wolf and a giant snake
Ellis

they're actually dead
Ellis
@lanatha

but he can probably bring up something similar for temporary use
Ellis
@lanatha
Sat, Jul 25, 2020 2:08 PM
this is actually an issue because his canon powers are basically As The Plot Demands

he's done giant insects? and also weird alien dudes? and also people? but it's also a plot point the snake and wolf are alive and maybe not easily replaceable

I think I'm gonna have to limit him to the semblance of life, but nothing entirely autonomous

definitely nothing sapient

the people were in his pocket space so I can just handwavey justify it with him not being at home right now

the problems with playing the bad guy :-P authors rarely bother to tell you how things work or why or what limits there are
Ellis
@lanatha

and I don't particularly want Julian to be his most powerful anyway, because it limits his need to get out there and actually people

sorry I do better talking myself through things

having to put it into words makes it easier to make a decision, something like that
Ellis

haha, thank you

although Fenrir the Lurker looks more like this than a real wolf https://images.plurk.com/2ryElzM1K08SRBuqDDPiCY.png
