    Press worker at a metal scrapyard.

    Hmmm.  Interesting idea…

    The difference is, she doesn't operate a hydraulic press.  Instead, she just compresses the junk herself!  This way, she doesn't have to worry about getting clumsy at work, doing even more damage….

    Okay.  Two things.  1) Not sure if Sylph is actually that strong (of course, who knows, she might be…)

    2) In Sylph's own words, "Let me reiterate: I.  AM.  NOT.  CLUMSY."  I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not about to argue with her… 😉

    Damned! I had this Idea for a character of my own. Also the situation that she jumps into a hydraulic press (to rescue some children that fell in there while plying at the junkyard) and pressing the hydraulic plates apart, until the machine finally breaks down.

    Might be difficult to set that up- not impossible, and I'll give it some thought, but Sylph would be much more likely to use the emergency cut-off or, in a pinch, tear out the hydraulic feed lines.  It would be faster and more likely to save the smalls.

    Hmmm… I felt a little apprehension when the NYU Violets hit the scene… I sense our first person vs. person conflict's coming into the story pretty soon.

    There's got to be some sort of person-to-person conflict, I suspect, or this storyline will probably get kind of dull, but it probably won't be either mean-hearted or antagonistic.  There just aren't that many genuinely blind punks in the world who would look at Sylph and believe they stood a chance against her in any sort of a test of strength or endurance.  Maybe reflexes of speed.  Hmm.  Gonna have to play with that one, too.

    Oh, and I noticed Sylph's job poll's a "secret ballot" sort of thing.  I didn't know you could do that.

    I didn't know I could, either, until I played around with the Poll creation tool.  It's so secret, in fact, that even I can't discover how people have voted (or even how many) until after the poll closes.

    There could be room for conflict if a teacher or other student disapproves of sylph and tries to get her kicked of campus by spreading shit about her, etc.

    about the job thing… the gym is probably not where you want to put here, since it's really not a new situation.  the zoo would probably result in wrestling some animal that got loose. also been done before.

    i think the most appealing aspect of the story is that she tries to lead a "normal" life, yet her own strength and size makes it difficult for her. still she chosses to continue training. this passion leads to some backstory that could be further explored.

    great work so far, looking forward to reading more about her!

    Nice continuation which leads us on toward a gym scene where Sylph can amaze all the guys!

    There wasn't ever any real chance of any conflict.

    Sylph wouldn't hurt anyone (At least not deliberately, LOL).

    Erm… er… Not that she's accident prone or anything. 🙂

    You mean, someone who could fold a steel bed frame in half with her arms alone ISN'T strong enough to crush scrap metal using all of her body??

    I just had an idea about a story where Sylph demonstrates to a doubting classmate that she is not clumsy.  Interested?

    Things like this always interest me.  Were you wanting me to write it, or did you want to try your hand at a fan-fic?

    The latter.  I'm seeking your permission for a short fan-fic.

    Go for it.  I'd love to see what you can do with her.  I only ask that you keep in mind that she is NOT a violent character.  Other than that… knock yourself out! ;D
