Nah. It'll be a custom made slide in wooden nameplate. I mean, Ayla would want her fellow 'inmate' to have some CLASS.

Warpers don't seem to have to eat more than normal people, usually. At least Phase isn't eating like Tennyo. But then she's a much higher level warper, and possibly needs to use her power to purely maintain her body, which means she'd be using it all the time.

I refuse to believe in the existence of someone who's "a much higher level warper" than Tennyo, given the gravitational gradient she'd need to establish to make bullets curve around herself and similar phenomena. If Tennyo's MID dosen't have her as a very high level warper the that's because the tests were conducted before she'd began to really master her powers.

Er.... I think that statement was that Tenryo was a much higher Warper than AYLA not the other way around.

The statement makes no sense that way since Ayla not needing to eat near as much as Tennyo does not demonstrate anything about Warpers needing or not needing to eat more than normal.

Tennyo's a pseudo-energizer.
It's not uncommon for a warper effect to leak energy at the edges (see also Ayla early on and Matterhorn) and some of her powers seem to be exploiting this principle directly, others simply look like energy patterns because of the way they radiate.

Exactly what I meant. Though I can see the ambiguity where you'd read "she/her" as relating to Ayla and not Tennyo.| The Unicorn wrote on Sat, 14 February 2009 20:35 |

Ayla is a high level warper himself, and he doesn't eat any more than normal. I don't think we have any other pure warper to compare with*, so I'm going with what we have, even if a single person isn't a good sample size for any generalisation.
* (Is Gotterdammerung an energiser or a warper? He could be another example but I don't think we've had any allusions in that story as to his appetite. Fractious is a warper but we haven't heard anything mentioned about her appetite either. Folder is a warper but isn't representative due to his BIT. That's all warpers with major presence in canon stories that I can think of.)
Tennyo eats a lot, though, so we can assume that her eating is not caused by any of the traits she has in common with Ayla. Which means that if it's the warper trait that makes her eat so much, the cause is either warping abilities that Ayla don't have, radically higher degree of usage or simply very much stronger power. Perhaps Ayla would need to eat as much as Tennyo if he used his power all the time instead of just when he needs to? We don't know. We have no ordinary warper mentioned as having a huge appetite.

You've got me doing it now, too.

Blame Babs. She mentioned it first, and it's stuck.
