I'm here, so haven't I already succeeded?

In an attempt to get closer to the topic, I have a question. Are there any dhampyr (half vampire) in the DMFA-verse at Dan's time? On that note, is a cubi-dhampyr possible? (Considering the "it's a cubi or not" rule)

[Jairus]

Well, vampires are extinct on Furrae, so that would make a dhampir slightly more difficult to find. If only I could find that strip...

[Howl]

I know they're extinct. I suppose it would have been best to say 'Abel's time' rather than Dan. You know, since it was like 60 years before Dan's time. (Source: DMFA wiki)

Closer to 375, actually.

there's prolly only one, but her name is Lady Sunset Autumn Honey Purity Sunflower Rainbow but she's only half vampire...


oh wait... wrong comic.. carry on. 

[AmigaDragon]

Though, to be fair, you could probably find Simeon's colors in nature.

Or Dan's.

At the risk of dragging this out, there was actually an earlier attempt:

With the possible exception of some (most? all?) fluorescent colors, most colors can be found somewhere in nature, even when keeping to the animal kingdom (leaving out plants and minerals). Though there's some that I've never yet seen on skin or fur, only feathers and/or scales, whether by pigment or iridescence (blues, greens and maybe purples).

He meant the vampire extinction event, not Abel's Story.

But, I still want to know. At Abel's time, are there any dhampyr, and could a cubi-dhampyr exist?

You're too impatient, you need to work on that. But look at it this way if their extinction happened 60 years prior to Dan being born then there were vampires at the time Abel was still 20, well logic would dictate such anyway. And to your dhampyr question, it's possible but not exactly likely seeing as how vampires burst into flames when hit by sunlight.

[Noone]

I don't think so.

[Howl]

But Vampires aren't quite undead, are they?

Er... Either you're a Cubi, or you're not.

So... either you're a Cubi vampire... or you're not. I'd suggest not, since Amber seems more inclined to play with other games.

As for Dan's time? No. No vampires left in Dan's time, at all. Abel's time? I'd say not. Either you're a vampire, or you're not, I'd say.

... and see Turnsky's response.

[Tapewolf]

I'd say there are two main options:
1. Vampires are unable to reproduce by normal means, like Undead, in which case the answer is no
2. If you can have a child with a vampire, the vampire traits would end as soon as the kid hit 'Cuberty.

the first negates the Last, and a Cubi would have the stronger genetic structure at work, which would effectively override the weaker 'genetics' of a vampire. Vampires, to be blunt are parasites, Dhampir, truth be told are seriously just /lame/, i don't really care for the folklore at work, these days it screams one thing, and one thing only: Mary Sue.

[Howl]

Anything can be managed right. Although the creator's skill and what the character is are relative.

riiiiiiiight.


y'know, most folks would have the sense to drop this subject right now, in the face of evidence that they don't exist, and yet you're almost hoping that it would not be the case.

Amber said vampires weren't on furrae in the comic itself (actually fluffy did), and truth be told, that should be the end of that.

Just let it go, man, just... let it go. Vampires stopped being cool a long time ago.

[Howl]

Fine...

I hope Mink ends up as Abel's roommate.

[Jairus]

Fine...

I hope Mink ends up as Abel's roommate.

Thus making Mink the first roommate Abel drives to insanity.

In that regard... I hope Mink doesn't end up Abel's roommate. That Cubi's too cheerful and optimistic.

[Lego3400]

Purple and yellow happened to be my highschool colors thank you very much.

[Jairus]

Purple and yellow happened to be my highschool colors thank you very much.

Mine was blue and gold. And really, when it comes to sports team colors, I don't really care all that much.

As it is, I'm saying that that outfit did not work on Simeon.

Or he'll get reassigned to be someone else's roommate, and Abel will drive someone else insane.

[AmigaDragon]

I think Abel has to somewhat recover from the shock of the last couple days and develop the beginnings of attitude before he can drive anyone insane. This and this are different Abels... or vastly different stages of his personality's (and reputation's?) development over 300+ years.
