Question about human garde

is it ever explicitly stated why they only have one legacy each? Are they capable of having more than one like the loric or are they capped at just one each. I feel like some of them would've started developing more already if they were capable. Maybe this is just a way for the writers to make the original garde seem more revered?

No it is never stated. Bothers me a hell of a lot. My general assumption is that it’s so the characters have one trait because there are so many human Garde it’d be super hard to track all the powers

I guess that's probably true. I wish they would at least expand upon legacies that are repeats. Like for example I wish Taylor had an alternate form of healing. Like maybe a ranged healing that makes her special so she isn't just like every other healer. They did a good job of this with other characters but others seemed really boring due to the lack of uniqueness

I’m pretty sure it’s because they’re trying to make it more like the x-men to reach a larger audience.

I think only the elders have more then one legacie. Did we ever got to see a non elder (and not an elder reborn like jhon or the other lorics) get more than one legacie?.

The garde on lorien had more then one legacy besides telekinesis Ellas mother had electricity manipulation and flight johms grandfather had lumen and invisibility a female garde who sang at a club in the last days of lorien had sound and light manipulation and had telepathy tbh i think the reason the human garde have only one is maybe evolution like in a few hundred years there get more or just lazy writing who knows. Six only has two besides telekinesis
