--- Quote from: Mira on September 26, 2019, 10:01:54 PM --- I'd agree with most of it except for Thomas, his youthful appearance comes from being a White Court Vamp, as long as he is reasonably well fed, he will keep looking good. So that gives him an advantage appearance/physically over Harry, in spite of Harry's advantages as a wizard, at some point Harry would begin to look older than Thomas who won't age at all.. And face it, Harry has been put through the mill a bit more than Thomas, his face reflects the battering that it has taken the last few years. Having said that, Harry has a big advantage over his "normal" vanilla human friends, unless something really bad happens that his normal wizard genes or Mab cannot fix, he will remain hardy and just be coming into his prime at eighty while most of his friends will be in the market of assisted living.

IIRC, there's WOJ that wizards age increasingly-slowly until they look about 50something, then plateau in appearance for centuries.
Presumably "Ancient Mai" has crossed the plateau. I don't know of any WOJ as to what's on the other side. OTOH, maybe Mai just had some sort of supernatural trauma that advanced her from looking 50something to looking much older, as her personal plateau...

That said, "reborn" works just amazingly well... Marcone as Arthur, Harry as Merlin, and Excalibur waiting for the right time...

Good catch.

That's basically what I said Harry has noticed has happened.
--- Quote from: Bad Alias on September 26, 2019, 05:53:43 PM ---He has noticed that he now looks older than Thomas.

I said that Harry has noticed that he, Harry, looks older than Thomas. Harry didn't look older than Thomas earlier. My point was that even Harry's description of Harry has aged.

I have been of the mind for years that Marcone could be a Knight, but not one of Love. If Butters hadn't taken up the Sword, I would have pegged Marcone for Fidelaccius. He has the same strength and faith in his actions. He holds true to his ideals and doesn't compromise. If he had been nudged differently, a moment of redemption was possible. Like in Death Masks when he was tapped by God to be part of the plot to stop the Denarians. He used the similarly old fake shroud to pull two heavy men to safety with their combined weights over 500lbs.
Personally, I want to see Harry in Mirror Mirror encounter a few WCB Knights. So, he arrives in the alternate world, runs from others hunting him, and gets to the street when a car pulls up and Marcone in a plain simple suit looks at him and says, "Come with me if you want to live."
As for Thomas, to be the permantent holder for Amoriccius he needs more love. Michael held a universal love for his fellow man. Thomas doesn't care about all those other people in the world. He is focused on his family, loved ones, and friends.
Now William the Werewolf as a Knight of Love . . . defender of the weak, leader of his clan, happy loving marriage strong enough to break the bindings of fae magic. It could happen.

Hm, I see where people keep getting Marcone for Fidelaccius, but he'd probably have to be nudged off his criminal path. I feel like that could be the only obstacle and Harry's reaction if it did happen would be pure gold.
Ooooh yeah, that'd be a great intro for Mirror!Marcone. Hope that happens.
Yeah, that's very true. I think Peace Talks could be where Thomas gets a bunch of character development that puts him on the path to being the wielder of Amoraccius(I didn't spell that right did I?).
Will being a sword bearer is so great, I'm amazed no one else has brought it up. :)
Oooh, what if a majority of Team Dresden end up temporarily wielding the sword for one-time gigs before it lands to Thomas. I don't know when it would happen, but hey, if it's near the BAT it could work.

I'm still digging Nic for one of the Swords (probably giving up Anduriel for it).
But I think it's Nic OR Johnny-M, there's too many narrative similarities between their calm planner-centric thinking villainy; for both to get a Sword would be to same-y... and Johnny-M is so very perfect for it.
I can just envision the scene where Marcone is defending someone else in extremis, pulls the Sword because he figures hey, it won't light for me, but it's still a F'ing ginormous blade, and better than my bare hands! and BAM goes the Holy Fire right in BBEG's face... while Marcone's face goes slack with "that-can't-happen-I'm-a-bad-guy!" shock.
Harry's too.
And the Winter Lady dissolves into helpless giggles, "right now, you two look absolutely identical!"
And then they get identical looks of outraged disdain.
