I could see where there'd be a "Lady Robert" and Harry would ask how that's supposed to work, and Molly would whisper something about not assuming genders, and Harry would say something embarrassing (as us Gen-Xers do about such things), and then things would fall apart.   

As long as Bob was there so he could recount the story later.
 Bob: "And then Harry punched the Lady in the face."
 Murphy: "Dresden!"
 Harry: "It wasn't like that!  It wasn't a woman!"
 Murphy: "The Lady wasn't a woman?"
 Harry: "Not a real woman."
 <offended stares all around>
 Harry: "No, I don't mean-- he could be a woman if he-- I mean--"
 Toe-moss: "Harr-eee.  How could you?!"
 Harry: "Don't you start!"
 Murphy: "So much for that chivalrous streak."
 Harry: "He looked like a man!"
 Molly: "Alright, Ms. Swan, let it go."
 Harry: "..."
 Molly: "I will say this about the Lady, though.  He could take a punch."

*sigh*  You just get me.

You should probably have a doctor look at that. 

Also, for the record, as a Chicano I should apologize to my ancestors for referring to Ramirez as "Martinez".

"ˇMucho mal, mijo!  ˇ No somos todos intercambiables!"

Ooh, Ooh!  I wanna play, I wanna play!

The Council of Arcturus, a small nation about the size of a medium sized clan, living on their own sovereign territory, New Camelot (I'm thinking either a large-ish plot of land in the middle of either Canada or the Outback [miles and miles of miles and miles] or an unassuming island in an archipelago, like the Solomon Islands or the Seychelles).  Traditionally ruled by an oversight committee ("The knights") and head by a chairperson, The Lady of the Lake,("Lady") a title that was liberalized in the 80's to accommodate the first male recipient ("Lord") to collect enough political power to rule the council.

Politically, they are rabidly pro-human, and messianic to the nth degree, believing that one day the star will rise again and save the world from evil.  Until such time, theirs is to shine, the brightest light in the dark until this time.  Thus, seeing themselves as the true guardian's and protectors of mankind against all its predators, they get on imperfectly with the other pro-human factions, who they view as, at best, helpful amateurs including the White Council with whom they have an EPIC historic mistrust because of ancient blame for the absence of the star being shifted to Merlin (OG flavor).

Currently, strange rumors have begun to circulate in the clued in world of knights, seeming to be acting in ways contrary to humanities' interests, again allegedly because, "If humanity is to be saved, it must first be in some form of danger."

So, having decided to de-lurk, and having lurked here enough, I know that (given the high number of "first ever posts" in this thread) it is positively an unwritten rule one must post here first.   Thus, I begin:

Do Harry's force rings take away kinetic energy when it is transferred (Thus, when Harry punches something, slightly less force is transferred into the object), or does it work by taking a small portion of the kinetic energy from his arm and storing it in the ring (Thus Harry reaching to make a last second catch has to fight his own rings which will slow his reaction).  I'm assuming the DV doesn't take the position that Isaac Newton was a punk Re: conservation of energy.  Thanks.

Now to go play in the other threads.
