She's not really a true omnipotent god. She's just got the leftover energy of a race that asended into a 3 part gestalt of enormous power.minigendo wrote:*Snip*
One of the really convenient things about having god powers (and the nightmarish thing about trying to write characters with them) is that you have god powers. You can essentially do whatever you want. The long and short of it then, is that if Meiji refuses to give up her "phenomenal cosmic powers" its because she doesn't want to give them up. Literally nothing else prevents her from doing so. *Snip*

They were a trinity, a member of the trinity got messed up, destroyed or just disconnected from the rest of the collective and the other two couldn't maintain stability and started losing power. They tried to create another race to ascend into a gestalt to replace the missing member but couldn't do it with their remaining energy and collapsed into pools of semi-sentient energy.
My prediction are is as follows:
1. humans were the original gestalt creating race and suddenly appeared on the planet when the gesalt collasped.
2. Half elves make good hosts for the "God" energy because of that tie.
3. Half elves become errants because as a created race Elfs have a magic regen system that fixes errors. The more elf is the half elf the stronger it is.
4. The psionic waveform is a very important thing somehow.
Other thoughts:
Of the trinity races of the first gesalt. one or more of them may been something other than human.
Of course to see the truth there is only one thing to do: Wait and let this story unfold to its glorious finish.
