Explanatory Notes

Citizen Jupiter’s damage reduction is due to Jupiter being such a massive planet, as is their melee attack. The lightning and sonic damage come from the fact that the mythological Jupiter was god of lightning and thunder.

Citizen Mars’ melee and projectile attacks are inspired by the mythic Mars being god of war, while the discard / destroy effect comes from the planet Mars’ famous red dust.

Both of Citizen Mercury’s effects are based on the idea of super-speed, as that’s an element with which the mythic Mercury is oft-aligned.

Citizen Saturn’s damage reduction is inspired by the planet Saturn’s low density, while their healing comes from the mythic Saturn’s position as god of wealth, agriculture, and prosperity. Meanwhile, the hero-damage debuff is a reference to the planet’s famous rings.
