Right, so, the way Inis has been going has been bugging me for a while, so I am considering various retcons and I want opinions on them if possible.
The only things that will definitely stay the same are her name, and appearance.
Please make comments on how you think various things could be changed, if possible.

If anything, then one word: family. You know my gripes with the Truesight family, and I dislike "dynasties" in general.
Otherwise, voted things. Main emphasis: less cartoon-elf-badass, more actual human being.

Note, she is losing the ears, they are stupid.

I understand a few minor edits like the ears, but an entire retcon of things like the planet and religion? Even after you wrote pages after pages of lore and background for them?
And retconning ALL character relationships?

Well, it would take me a week to redo the planet and religion, two weeks tops. I don't know if any of you have ever seen the map I made of Stormswrath (The name needs changing too, though it was Skull that got me to change from Eridani Prime to Stormswrath ¬_¬ ) but I made it in a phase, like Inis, where i was obsessed with WoW, leading to the map being nearly identical to Pre-War of the Ancients Kalimdor, with the addition of Gardenfall (Teldrassil) And Stormguard (Pandaria).
Retconning all relationships may become necessary depending on how much of her lore changes, though the oldest ones, like Janet and Jennifer, will remain, though not at the very highest level that resulted from Inis' Snowflakeyness. Also, Whisper will remain unchanged, apart from the loss of her pointed ears, so you don't need to worry about that.
If the family gets altered, then Varan and Amy will still be connected, though they may suffer alterations due to the fact that Inis is the primary factor in all my characters, Guen will probably be the same, Sel wouldn't change, neither would Delindivar, Iris, Godwin, Baralor or Kiishi.

Planet definately changing now, and whoever clicked "Anything else" (pretty sure it wasn't Skull) can you say what you mean?

Well, unfortunately I have let Inis get drastically out of hand, especially with everything interconnecting, it would be excessively difficult to try and keep relations without using a poor approach to it.

Right, I am planning to shift Inis either towards Medical, or towards Security, opinions?

Also, most of Inis' relationships will be retconned, as she should be changing radically, if you want your character's kept, PM me and we can sort it out.
So far being kept: Jennifer Hynes (Reduced back to no psychicyness) Janet Fisher (No change)

Oh. For Anything Else.
I was thinking, maybe change up her age? It seems she knows quite a bit for her age. Like, stuff that most nurses/whatevz wouldn't know.

She is going to be aged up a small amount, maybe 5-6 years, I am also thinking of moving her completely into medical, from which she can be a nurse/ Emergency Phys, or a Security intern, there as a medical aid, with no authority or training at all.

Also, who voted to change Inis' amulet? Could you state reasons and ideas? PM if you don't want to post.

Oh. That was me too. I wanted to see about coding it so it does the powercell idea, if possible.

Definitely simplify the family. *currently takes own advice* And then ship a few off if you never use them.

I actually think Stormswrath is pretty cool. I'd personally change a few things, like the name. But there's little reason I can see to straight up scrap the entire thing after putting so much work into it.
I don't really know much about Inis, but by psychicness, I'm assuming you mean reading thoughts? If so, why not make her more psychologically adept; somewhat like Hannibal, (you know, reading thoughts and into why people do things) as opposed to straight up brain-reader.

Stormswrath won't be being scrapped, just undergoing an actual write up, when I read what I wrote about it now, I am embarrassed, it is ridiculous, though some of the concepts are sound. At the moment, Inis is heavily influenced by her character in my book, who is a powerful psychic/ telepath/ whatever you want to call it, I am getting rid of that because it is super snowflake and illogical. Normal eyes (Purple/Amber) Normal ears. Skin stays as is. Hair stays as is. No longer Psychic. Planet:- Name changed to Epsilon Eridani Prime (Or Epsilon Prime...?)
- Map change due to original being Pre-sundering Kalimdor.
- Teranium altered, less awesome and unique, just very rare.
- Reorganisation of Government, as well as defences.
- Wrath Cannon up for review, may be retconned, may not.
- SDF remains, changing to Strategic Defence Force, changing to the elite section of the military.
- Planet pushed further along development, closer in status to neighbours, rather than being that hillbilly kid with a gun.
Religion:- More lore, it is very bare bones.
- Maybe name changes, some sound quite childish.
Personality:- Less aggressive.
- More religious.
Training:- Either less Sec, more Med, or vice versa.
Job update:- Will either move purely into medical, and be able to take a job as Sec intern, in a purely medical role, or will stay the same.
Family:- Nerf Varan, less of ruling everything, more of a well off businessman, some military connections due to previous history, no real influence.
- Shuffle family members about if needed.
Amulet:- Maybe get powercell update?

Inis has become too snowflakey, as has the entire family, so I am working to restore a measure of normality, and I am asking for opinions.
