regarding "luck"

some people really are luckier than others, and for these lucky folks things really are much more likely to go their way. however, "luck" only ever applies to one thing; being good-looking. if someone is lucky enough to be good looking, people are much more likely to listen to them, to want to be around them, to do what they want and try to help them however they can. this is then interpreted as the continuing influence of luck, when in fact it is just a reverberation of the interpretation of their physical form by their ambient society.
