When the other family members found the talents, they gave Ian's memories to the talents. However, it's shown that he isn't a very moral person after that. | |

Snowball Fight | |
Sister Alice / int_c213d569 | comment |
Snowball Fight: Ritualized, Serious Business Snowball wars, call Snowars, are set up between two teams composed of a smattering of very young Great Family members, intended to make it easier for different Family members to cooperate at a young age. Two teams alternate between defending and attacking a fort made of ice, using microchines fired from cannons to heat up the fort walls and break though. Snow is compacted and shoved into pneumatic, double-barreled rifles which can cause grievous damage, and snow is fired from pneumatic cannons capable of killing the contestants. However, because of the Healing Factor and general hard-to-killness of humanity, it's rare for anyone to be more than annoyed or out of action for more than a few days when their skull is crushed or spine broken. | |

Sister Alice / int_d525f857 | comment |
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Averted with distances: even with the godlike powers of high ranking Great Family members, they still are limited to traveling below the speed of light; one character laments that it would take tens of thousands of years to gather all the members of a Family at one point due to travel time. Averted with time: when Ord looks at an ancient, million year old picture of the mountains surrounding the Chamberlain estate, he notes how the mountains have become much smoother and smaller since then. | |
