[member="Spencer Varanin"] - I've not read a ton of the more 'personal' threads, so I don't know the character half as well as I'd like to(at some point we do need to write together). But I've always been struck by a very humanistic approach in your writing. That suffuses across all your faces, but I think it is personified in Spencer (At least to me), and driven home particularly strongly in the Lujo invasion thread and your blog post with Ashin leaving. I felt genuine heart-string tugging at reading Lujo, and that is hard for me to feel with my job.
For critiques, she sometimes seems like a walking plot device with the amount of power she is described as having, but then again it is an old, old character(relatively speaking, I would never call Spencer old) with a *ton* of development and changes (from what I can tell), and in the end your 'power' is in a field that (like some of my guys) is often quickly overlooked or hand-woven away as inconvenient. Or even outright ignored. And you don't typically throw it around too much, if at all really. So even with a power that can be apparently unheard of on a galactic scale, you wield it responsibly enough that I find myself more curious how she got to that point than irritated that someone is at that level. For Spencer, the power level is less a defining feature, at more a supporting detail. Which is how it should be.
Long story short? I'd love to read a few threads you feel personify Spencer, across the ages. And when I get back to IC interaction and such here, I need to grab you for an RP.
