Shouldn't there be some mention of Jade-physical's odd immunities? Cardiac's fear aura, the fear/insanity effect of the class-X site in the sewers, not being drained by James/Timeless, Sara's lust aura (and Nikki's aura too?) Laudator 22:30, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Sounds reasonable; feel up to giving it a try? JohnBobMead 01:41, January 26, 2011 (UTC)


what story introduces the rising heart as generators equipment? [citation needed] perhaps?

Gender[]

This is why I dislike anonymous edits... yes, lots of times they are useful, but they preclude any sort of discussion, because we have no way to alert the (anonymous) contributor that some of their edits are debatable and we would like to talk about them before summarily reverting them.

Specifically, the recent edits on Jade's gender. I understand that gender identity is intrinsic to the person, and therefore that "Jared" always had a female gender identity -- she just didn't realize it. In that light, the edits make sense.

But there is identity, and there are narrative devices. It is a widely accepted convention in TG fiction to use the body-gender in pronouns and such until the moment the person realizes/accepts her new/true gender, and signal that with the change in pronouns. Jade's case is a bit more complicated: while Jinn was treated as female from her first appearance, the author (Babs) kept referring to Jared in the masculine until she adopted a female identity as Jade.

So, for the sake of consistency with the story itself, I feel that referring to pre-realization Jared in the masculine is appropriate -- not to mean that stylistically, using female pronouns with a male name looks a bit odd.--Sir Lee (talk) 13:50, July 25, 2015 (UTC)

Spirit shifter[]

An anonymous user added this designation as part of the initial evaluation of Jade's powers. While it might be an useful descriptor for her powers, it definitely was not part of her original powers evaluation. If this description appeared anywhere else, I was unable to locate it; please supply source so we can determine the appropriate way to insert the info into the entry? --Sir Lee (talk) 05:34, September 24, 2017 (UTC)

Pronouns[]

The use of "his" is consistent with the story and with Jared's understanding at the time. Null0Trooper (talk) 23:13, December 5, 2019 (UTC)
