Abel is the minor 39er...

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Seriously, that's a long time to pursue knowledge.  I wonder what he has learned to do in that time.

Also, I didn't know that warp-aci could become intangible and pass through things like that.  That's good to know.

Actually, $ is 36, not 39.  39 is '.

Anyway, sad though it is, this was going to happen eventually.  Drawback of being less mortal than your parent(s).  Had it been the evil parent who was the mortal, things would have been different, though kind of interesting.

Seriously?  If that's all it takes to distract you I suggest you all get pencils and learn to draw them yourself.  It's quite easy to create a workable pair.  I mean forget the fact that this is likely the build up to a life altering and devastating moment in Abel's life, there are knockers there and they might be bigger than last time!  Don't get me wrong, I like 'em as much as the next guy, but really, prioritize.

Well, it's not clear if students are able to leave the Academy grounds, and it's even less clear whether it would be safe for young 'Cubi to do so anyway.  Let alone young 'Cubi whom dragons like Hizell want to kill.

Lol I love the Warp-Aci's 'YOWZA' expression. Yes those puppies (no pun intended) are definately getting bigger. Then again Falina is getting older and 39 years is a nice long time to grow them in. I wonder if this means by the time she's 3000 or so they'll be on the floor. Oh of course I know Cubi can't physically age (well they could if they wanted to but thats shapeshifting and doesn't count) but still good god woman. Next thing there will be SAIA Playboy with various Cubi pinups and their assets.

Ah missed the '+' sign on the Demo 101 page. Well alright then, the absolute limit a Cubi can live to, or at least the point where she would be concidered REALLY frickin old.

Post by: Corgatha Taldorthar on September 15, 2009, 09:51:38 AM
And they don't seem to be any bigger in the time of the main DMFA comic, which is roughly 400 years or so after Abel's story.
Besides, Fa'Lina is a shape-shifter. She can set her breasts to be any size she wants them, right? It's probably just an effect of the dress.

As for the time lapse, I can't honestly say I'm surprised. We've seen evidence of Abel losing track of time before (or after, depending on how you want to refer to the events in the main DMFA comic) and he seemed pretty determined to repress his thoughts about his family, for obvious reasons.

Plus, if I didn't need to eat or sleep and didn't age, I would also probably lose myself in an institution like SAIA. In fact, presuming I can dodge Oolong's creepy attention, I might just set up shot in the library :p

It's possible that 3000 is their natural span and you need souls for more than that, but it's just conjecture.

Destania is about 7026, but she's had a steady stream of victims from the P&T classes to keep her going.  Tri-winged 'Cubi are immortal, though they can be killed (this takes an awful lot of doing, though).  Word is that Fa'Lina falls into this category, and IIRC there is one living Tri-Wing who is 100'000 years old.

Alright no need to be friggin rude Mao. I know that they're shapeshifters but I figured someone like Fa'lina who's proud of her cubi-heritage (or at least comfortable with it) wouldn't have any NEED to hide them! I mean why hide just one set? Why not hide them all?

Post by: bradypodidae on September 15, 2009, 10:04:12 AM
I am under the opinion that Fa'Lina at the least kept tabs on May through her own magic, or through a third party. I would also speculate that Fa'Lina might have actually had some sort of contact with May, keeping May informed of Abel's progress. A Warp Aci could pop in and out pretty much unnoticed. This (as mentioned by someone else) would explain Fa'Lina's knowledge of May's failing health.

It might have been determined by May and Fa'Lina that this correspondence between the two of them should be kept from Abel so as not to distract him, or worse, cause him to try to return home... Now that May is dying, Aniz's threat is a moot point.

She's at an institute for 'Cubi. It would be rather out of place to go in "Fake being" mode.

As for a hypothetical set of third wings, either she doesn't have them, or has them and his hiding them. If it's the former, problem is done with, if it's the latter..... It might be something as simple as not wanting to deal with the fact that tri-wings are generally clan founders, and Fa'Lina's clan has been wiped out.


But something occurred to me. Can a normal two wing 'cubi shape-shift and fake a third set of wings? I sincerely doubt becoming a tri-wing is that easy, but it might be useful for bluffing at times.

Aaaand I think I'm going to have to step in there.

Succubus, Mao wasn't calling you an idiot; you're putting words in his mouth. Sure, he used the emoticon we have there, but that's a direct quote from the comic itself. And yes, Fa'Lina hides her butt-wings. Why? We don't know. Perhaps she's avoiding being a target. Perhaps she doesn't want to scare the new entrants. We simply don't have enough information to tell.

As for being scoffed at? Welcome to the internet. Everyone gets scoffed at, sooner or later. If your idea has enough body to stand up to the scoffing, then it might be worth paying attention to. When it collapses under it's own weight, then perhaps it wasn't such a good idea in the first place, and maybe, just maybe, you're getting a little bit excessively defensive over it. Calm down a little.


Mao: Don't troll. You know better, and I know that you know better. Don't make me have to come down there and educate you.


In short: Leave each other alone. Or at least take it out of the public area.

That, and you might attract the attention of a genuine tri-wing - and not in a good way.

Fa'lina presumably would hide third wings (should she posses them) because it's to her advantage to do so. Or simply to make things like sitting down easier (think about it...).

Good of you to apologize. Remember, we have a rule against bringing outside issues to the forum. This just illustrates the reasoning for why.

Often times on the internet, a thicker skin is required. Words bear little context of speech-patterns and voice inflection, so reading sarcasm can be hard. Roll with things a bit better in the future and I'm sure problems like this will be avoided. ;)

When it comes to Fa'Linas boobs, I tend to go by what outfit she's wearing.  In the most recent, that outfit would only provide support from below in the sense if it is a giant set of cups...hence her chest looks more hiked up and pressed together.  In sort of the same effect in how a corset/bodice can give someone with barely any boobs the semblance of cleavage, only in Fa'Linas case it just makes them more pronounced.  At least that was my intent, it sounds like I ended up missing the mark.

FTFY.  Although being a fake bi-wing when she's really a tri-wing, yeah, that would make sense.   As Abel explained once, lesser Cubi hide all their wings in public to hide their powers.  Fa'lina hides her third set of wings in public for the same reason.  Which means, of course, there's only ONE Cubi that walks around advertising her full power level.

... I seriosuly even didn't notice anything about boobs. I'm just like, "oh! It's Fa'Lina."

I don't think that Fa'Lina is going to prevent Abel from leaving campus to see his dying mother, especially knowing hte conditions of the last time he saw her. Though it is a possibility that Hizell is still hunting down the Siar Clan (do you think he would give up by now? But I guess in Dragon years it really hasn't been all that long) but if Fa'Lina's magic can protect the people in SAIA, I'm sure she can whip up a spell to protect Abel long enough to visit his mother.

On the other hand, this could be a deliberate distraction on the part of Fa'lina to get Abel to stop his obsession with his predicament.  She is quite willing to play the fool.  :)

If you have mortal parents/friends, that would suck, yes.  On the other hand, you'd have long enough to get used to it, kind of like someone who keeps dogs.

Same here.

QuoteI don't think that Fa'Lina is going to prevent Abel from leaving campus to see his dying mother, especially knowing hte conditions of the last time he saw her.
Indeed, this was her suggestion, after all.  What's unclear is whether a 40-year student is generally allowed/encouraged to leave the Academy grounds.  They might not know enough to be able to protect themselves fully.

QuoteThough it is a possibility that Hizell is still hunting down the Siar Clan (do you think he would give up by now? But I guess in Dragon years it really hasn't been all that long) but if Fa'Lina's magic can protect the people in SAIA, I'm sure she can whip up a spell to protect Abel long enough to visit his mother.
Indeed.  Cyra was able to shield Aniz, I have little doubt that Fa'Lina would be able to do something similar for Abel, at least long enough to visit his mother.

As for hunting down Siar survivors, they seemed pretty determined and Dragons live for eons.  I wouldn't want to bet on them losing interest quickly.

I honestly doubt Hizell would still be hunting members of Siar. It wasn't like Siar and her clan was his main target, she was more just a feather in his cap and his attempt to try to draw out his real targets.

Intriguing.  I stand corrected.

All the same, it's not a chance I'd take were I in Abel's position.  (Unless he has been briefed about the Siar conflict far more thoroughly than us).

Is the dragon's as much of a threat as they use to be?

In the the small mentioning of the dragon/Cubi wars it makes it sound that the dragons might have been in clans like the cubi or possibly in some other  assorted large group back then.

Now when we see dragons in Dans time they look like loners like with the amazons sisters they had one and the one red dragon at the entrance to dark Pegasus's lair.

Did possibly the dragons suffer a loss of clan structure or is it that we have yet to see the actual dragons of this time, Or was the dragons used other races to fight for them and each army was controlled by a singal dragon?

Maybe the dragons are still licking their wounds from the war so Abel might be safe.

True, but 'they' could be very few, just a demon could fight and kill many beings a single dragon could wide out an entire clan. These could be rouge dragons banished to the unimportant dimension for some form of wrong doing, there could be very few about. (Yes Furrae could be like Australia or The US was)

Maybe, but that's not what Fa'Lina is saying in strip 728, though.  She said "Any dragon" (except for Pyroduck).

'Any dragon in this dimension' could easily be shortened to 'any dragon'. After all do other creatures have much (or any) inter-dimensional access?

The Fae do, and there may or may not be a network of dimensional gates.  Warp-Aci may do (they are extradimensional in origin, though their bodies seem to be made of dark magic from the Furrae-local dimension).

That said, it's a good point.

...I know it's late but, is there a distinctive diffrence between dragons and drakes? or is it that drakes are the younger form of dragons?  and while I suspect pip is taken care of like a  pet, is the size of a dragon purely an illusion?

As they (dragons) are clearly another form of shape-shifter, is it that they start off small for the first couple thousand years or so and  they will eventually reach gargantuan body crushing proportions?

while I realize some of this will no doubt be covered by demonology and current mythology, is the reason people dislike dragons because they are, or  think they are, being manipulated as with the angels and demons, or is it that they dislike the dragons because a majority are notorious card sharps, known for their chain smoking, virgin chasing, and how many peons can they can kill in one in one bounce?


Assuming Dan knows more about real dragons, we can Speculate as to why dragons are hated...

I attest to at least one, of the i'm certain, many people who would still love dragons no matter how horredous of disasterous their actions. And with that said, I am worried for the dragons (dun kill me!)) I really hate the idea of every dragon being wiped out, no matter how absurd or unlikely that may be (except for pyroduck, I must question his fur/scale color, brown and red? really? X3)) So I pray for their survival in that dimension.

Away from that point, I am curious as to how Abel will react to Aniz after his mother is dying. I persoally think he's going to go berserk and try to kill him and end up almost dying himself. ((if this has been brought up in the last discussion, I apologize) and another thing is, how does this rather depressed, and lonely individual, become the flameing pretty boy we all know and love?

all this and more on SOMETHING! =D

I figured someone like Fa'lina who's proud of her cubi-heritage (or at least comfortable with it) wouldn't have any NEED to hide them! I mean why hide just one set? Why not hide them all?

She's at an institute for 'Cubi. It would be rather out of place to go in "Fake being" mode.

As for a hypothetical set of third wings, either she doesn't have them, or has them and his hiding them. If it's the former, problem is done with, if it's the latter..... It might be something as simple as not wanting to deal with the fact that tri-wings are generally clan founders, and Fa'Lina's clan has been wiped out.


But something occurred to me. Can a normal two wing 'cubi shape-shift and fake a third set of wings? I sincerely doubt becoming a tri-wing is that easy, but it might be useful for bluffing at times.



If Fa'Lina's clan has been wiped out[I don't read as thoroughly as I used to], then wouldn't the position of clan founder go to her? She is a female, after all, as all the clan founders seem to be. I'm pretty sure one can't just inherit power, but, it does make sense, at least to me.

Seriously?  If that's all it takes to distract you I suggest you all get pencils and learn to draw them yourself.  It's quite easy to create a workable pair.  I mean forget the fact that this is likely the build up to a life altering and devastating moment in Abel's life, there are knockers there and they might be bigger than last time!  Don't get me wrong, I like 'em as much as the next guy, but really, prioritize.

What if your hands don't draw like you tell them to? What if they can shoot a target better than they can draw a closed circle?[I can't draw a closed one, it turns out some funky shape when I take the 5 minutes to do so ._.;]

Amber has said: it's not that all clan founders are female, just the only ones we've seen are. There are male ones, they just haven't shown up in the story.

Also: Fa'Lina started her clan. Once you become a clan founder, you stop being able to make any more clan members directly - it's like being a grandmother. Sort of. You get to coo over your grandchildren, but you're not going to have any more children directly. And, well, all her children have been killed, so... that explains a little about why she goes so goo-goo over Pyroduck, for example, getting a girlfriend; grandchildren by proxy.

But I digress.
