Disabled main carictors?
cenwolfgirl:
i gess that counts but that is fixerble by tecnolagy not a power but is still fixsable
but i'll alowit as a fear point
Snowleopard:
Yes, there's one point in the story where he's taken out of the Exo and is laying in a lounge by a pool, (If I remember rightly it's been awhile since I read the book.) dying and watching a butterfly. (Something he finds amazing that it can fly in our gravity.)
cenwolfgirl:
that sounds like aninteresting book i'll have to look out for it
I think that counts more than the BCV induced loss of hand use
but the arthor works round it or finds a way round it
I like the butifly thing thats a cool perspective and that is what i wanted diffrent perspectives exsplaind to the reader due by disabilaties
your one is realy poetic
Snowleopard:
Fritz Leiber was a very good writer and a really nice guy.
He's more famously known for his Sword and Sorcery duo - Fahferd and the Grey Mouser.
Yeah, different perspectives on something does bring it home to the reader.
(click to show/hide)I've always wanted to do a scene where a bunch of Space Marines go into a bar and get tossed out on their ears by a 5 foot, stocky waitress - only to find that it's a Heavy Worlder bar and she's way stronger than they are.
Aminar:
A disability is something the character should be trying to work around/fix unless the story is entirely about that disability, but even then...
A different twist on this is The John Cleaver trilogy by Dan Wells. The main character is physically fine, but psychologically severely handicapped(Truly Sociopathic). The way he deals with it is excellently written and the books are quite fun.
