Talk:Roan Fel

Is this family related to the Fel's of the Empire, Chiss and Empire of the Hand?
 * I would assume so. Maybe Jaina decides she doesn't like Zekk after all... - Kwenn 16:55, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * To tell you the truth, I'm not surprised that a Fel became the Emperor. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 17:09, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not either but does this mean that the Chiss were involved with the New Empire? Stinkywookie 17:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Why was "Roan could not, however, forsee the coming of the Sith, nor the impact they would have on his throne and his family, including his daughter, Princess Marasiah Fel" removed? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 17:12, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Supposedly copyvio from the Legacy article, but I reworded it slightly after Jedi Master Jacen originally posted it - Kwenn 17:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * If it was a copyvio, it shouldn't have been deleted completely. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 17:16, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, copyvios MUST be deleted completely on sight. - Sikon [ Talk ] 19:11, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * What I meant was to just fix it up fast. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 19:14, 19 June 2006 (UTC)


 * The white forelock should not indicate relationship to Jagged Fel. Jag's white lock was the result of a scar, which ran from his forehead, up into his hair. It's not genetic, and would not be inherited by his children, any more than Luke's prosthetic hand would be inherited by Ben. Of course, this could be an error on the part of those who created 'Legacy', who forgot Jag's white hair comes from a scar. Corellia&#39;s Dream 18:33, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, it can still be genetic. Jag's white lock may have become a non-natural genetic trait that can be passed down to the next generation. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 20:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * How do you make that work ? A scar on the skin, which is described in 'Dark Tide' as the reason for the white lock of hair, doesn't not affect a person's DNA. An alteration to the phenotype (physical appearance) does not alter the genotype (the DNA which is passed on to the next generation). A non-natural genetic trait is an artificially created mutation in a person's DNA. If the white hair was caused by a spontaneous mutation in Jag's DNA, then it would be hereditary. But it was caused by a scar in his scalp, which is not going to affect the genetic material in his sperm. Corellia&#39;s Dream 01:59, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I read a science book not too long ago saying certain things can affect one's genetic code, making new traits that can be handed down to the next generation. And anyway, how does a scar cause a white lock of hair? &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 12:16, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I discussed this with a consultant pathologist. Most times an injury won't affect the colour of hair. However, an injury that doesn't heal cleanly can result in white hair, as the skin cells and hair follicles are damaged and no longer produce pigment. So Jag's scar could cause the white hair. DNA can mutate spontaneously, and those changes could be handed down the generations (depending on what's inherited from the other parent). Those mutations tend to be very minor, are and highly unlikely to affect anything as specific as a lock of white hair. That would require (relatively) a lot of genetic change. There is no way that an external event like a scar would be incorporated into genetic code. That's like saying you could inherit your Dad's tattoos.I reckon that if the Emperor Fels' white locks are meant to indicate descent from Jag Fel, the writers simply weren't paying proper attention to the reason for Jag's white lock and/or their understanding of heredity. I was just being a bit picky about it, that's all. Corellia&#39;s Dream 02:28, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Hate to say it, but I told you so. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 12:43, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Succeeded by: Darth Krayt?
*clears throat*

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Sikon [ Talk ] 18:45, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it's way too early to know anything at all about this... Hollis 18:54, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I read Legacy 1 today, Hollis. Krayt takes over as Emperor. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 18:56, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * First they say it will be a good empire, then they turn it into Palpatine-style sithocracy. Just gross. - Sikon [ Talk ] 19:10, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know. But hey, I always liked the bad Empire deal. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 19:12, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sithocracy?...I like that word. -- SFH 19:17, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * If I would have invented it, I could have put it in my little list on my user page... ;) Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 19:18, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Considering it was a double Krayt killed, should we have an article for that double? -- Riffsyphon1024 04:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Considering the Emperor is still alive, Krayt is a usurper, not a successor. QuentinGeorge 06:43, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * We should have an article for his double. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 12:00, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Imperial Knight

 * If he is a former Imperial Knight, does that mean he served as one of his father's protectors?--Darth Oblivion 18:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.png|20px]] 18:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Appearances
Perhaps I should point out that we decided to list arcs, not individual issues. - Sikon 09:58, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Not according to this. - Lord Hydronium 10:31, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Too bad... It looks nicer with arcs. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 14:08, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Any chance we could find a place for this image of Fel? Sith Council Sith Campaign 20:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Family
Is it actually stated anywhere that he is descended from Soontir Fel? Because I thought that was just conjecture but it is presented as fact. I am more wondering (also conjecture) if he isn't related to Ysanne Isard, just on the white streak, especially as it begins in the centre at the front, much like Isard's... and wasn't Isard rebuffed by Fel once? I wouldn't put it past her to drug him or gain a sample of his genetic structure for her own nefarious purposes, and years later the child of two of the Empires most (in)famous families would make a sensible heir to the empire. Of course, if Roan Fel's descent from Jagged is stated in the comics or interviews, pretend I said nothing. 202.7.166.166 09:35, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * He's descended from Soontir, but certainly not Isard. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 11:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * And the evidence for this is...? 202.7.166.167 03:18, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The Ultimate Visual Guide specifically labelled him as Soontir's descendant. QuentinGeorge 06:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you, that answers my main question. As to the other, I was offering a COMPLETELY ORIGINAL THEORY which, due to the Isard's families' hairstyles is far more realistic than the "DNA adopting the Scar" theory. Thats not aimed at you QG, but more at that Nebulax guy above. Also, it isn't an attack, its just explaining why I was babbling about Isard. 202.7.166.167 08:49, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * As mentioned above, anon, a scar that causes a white lock of hair can change the genetic code, resulting in that trait being passed to one's offspring. Therefore, your theory is not "far more realistic" if my theory can happen. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 11:16, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Dude, your random "i read a science book" is a lame excuse at best. Look up Lamarckism... he was the guy that said that acquired traits could be passed from generation to generation... and he was discredited like a hundred years ago. Like someone mentioned above, that would be like inhereting your dads tattoos. 202.7.166.167 21:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Enough. Your questions have been answered. Go find a forum to babble on about nonsense now. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 21:33, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Your hypothesis is completely without scientific merit! A scar could cause genetic damage, yes, but unless that scar is in an area related to gamete production it doesn't matter. Sorry that you can't see beyond your own theory 202.7.166.167 01:26, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, but you're wrong, anon. It can happen. Go read a book instead of trying to pick fights you can't win. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 11:13, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Roan Fel's Lightsaber
Is it possible that Roan Fel's lightsaber is a dual-phase? Because in Legacy #8 when he is threatening Moff Calixte he has a short blade, but later in that issue when he and Antares Draco are escaping Coruscant he is using a regular-sized blade. I just think it would be cool if he does.--Jedi Kasra 03:01, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It's probably the artist's fault. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 19:08, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
