06/01/08 [Hybrids #6] - Crossbreeding with the Fae

[Amber Williams]

Think I need to rephrase.. "...though considering it's Fae killing them..."

I can assure that that the Fae know how to hold a pillow over a sleeping infant just as well as any other race can.

i'll be saddened and horrified if anybody tries to argue with that simple logic.. it's amazing how that many people didn't even think of that, they think "oh, magic immune, must be hard to kill", then i'm reminded of that scene in raiders of the lost ark, big tough guy wielding scimitar, looks downright tough to kill, then indy simply pulls out a revolver, and shoots him.
people never seem to realise that even though something is magical, or resistant to magics, physical trauma can affect just as well as it does in the real world.

That's was what I was checking, to see if they've more (or less) resemblence to Mows. I think we can probably conclude that the magic-immunity aspect of Mows and Hollows is just coincidence then.

[DarkAudit]

But anyhow, I've a different question: Can Hollows die before their slated fate?

Why would they not? Didn't Amber mention something about Fae killing them at birth?

Ok, I missed that, my mistake.. though considering it's Fae, killing may not necessarily be an easy process. The reason why I ask is because of both the Mow relationship (and those are indestructable, though killing and destructable are 2 seperate issues), and because they're mysterious. Too many strange issues with them, what with their complete soullessness and their precise death format.

Hollows are not Fae.

Think I need to rephrase.. "...though considering it's Fae killing them..."

Ok. But there are no strange issues. They exist, they're immune to magic, they die. That's it. Anything else is risking a swat from the mods. I don't want to get swatted.

I'm sure Mows are just the cute little lovable mascots of DMFA and not to be taken seriously into discussions of this type.
Theorizing's great but the tone I'm reading from Amber basically means things along this line are to be kinda left alone at what's said in the Demonology. Aside from fleshing out the world and adding more dimensions to the Fae she seems to have preferred not to bring it up.
All that means is that for clarity's sake later on, we now know about the Hollows.(Probably)

[e_voyager]

I can see they fae killing a hollow as an act of kindness but i would have expected the fae to be able to prevent conception in most cases to prevent the necessity of killing the poor soulless child.

Sometimes the worlds we create are just as harsh and madding as the worlds in which we live.

Mows have at least animal intelligence, I'd guess that hollows might not have even that.
(And here I go posting to a thread that should have died out already.)
