it would be really interesting to see physical manifestations of powers in dresden files characters though. that's always been one of the things i liked about how bleach started -- their powers -- chad and orihime reflect their personalities so well.
(i would give murphy something similar to chad, maybe? some way where her power was this physical marker of how badass she actually is -- something that probably gets lost amongst all the men on the police force and being five foot nothing. which is not to say murphy *needs* it to show how awesome she is, but that it just happens regardless of her feelings on the subject because of course, powers relating to harry would never manifest in the way you want, that would be too logical for harry)
I agree. Although it follows the typical five man band formation, the characters' powers fit with their backgrounds and histories.
Yeah, that would work. Murphy is always being underestimated because of her size, but on her own she is strong, not only with her convictions but also physically.
It might not even work out that way, because Harry's powers are as messed up as he is.
