You know how we hear that not all 'Cubi are soul-suck horrors?
Why do we never meet any?
Maybe they aren't as pretty.
Or funny. Lets go with funny. When you're a nice person, no one cares what you do. :B

Sorry? 'Cubi who are or aren't soul-sucking horrors?
In the 'bad' category we have Destania. I don't know if Fa'Lina actually
needs to eat souls anymore. I'm sure Ink would if he's true to his character. Aniz? No idea.
In the 'good' category we have Dan and most likely Abel, who both thought they were Beings until they sprouted headwings - Dan's opinion we know, and Abel eats food, sleeps and befriends Jyrras so I doubt he's going to go on a de-souling spree.
AFAIK those are the only 'Cubi we've really had any measure of depth to. Destania is of course a tricky one since motherhood
seems to have changed her stance of Beings, having one for a stepdaughter and all. I'd like to think she's reformed (to some degree) but we have no idea - her 'disposing of people' role in Biggs' empire might mean more than simply killing them.

what i actually meant was 'Cubi who fed on Enjoyment, happiness and such.

Oh, right. That would be good... maybe we'll meet some in Abel's Story?
'Cubi are rare, so unless Lost Lake is some kind of nexus (which isn't impossible - it might be physically close to SAIA?) The chances of one just wandering by is pretty low. And even if they did, if they know what they're doing they'll be disguised as a Being so you couldn't tell.
that and i would gather that they spend much of there time in circus and hospitals where they can spread joy to feed on.

Considering Abel in Abel's Story's current condition, that might be unlikely.

I'd like to see a comedian cubi as well. I think that'd be fun.
On a side note I'm still trying to figure out a clan symbol and emotions that my cubi character will feed off. In that regards I was wondering what Zedd and Charline/Charles were.
I WALL KEEPSIES ON A CUBI COMEDIAN CHARACTER! IT'S MINE, KEEP OFF!

Much as I hate to plug things, you might want to check out 'Future History' in the art forum - my character's clan leader has a big penchant for practical jokes. AFAIK that's the closest anyone's come to making a 'Cubi who feeds on comedy. As I recall, his weird antics feature in throughout Chapters 11-21.

I thought he just enjoyed confusion, like when he broke into Josh's dreams.

I don't think I specified which emotion he likes. Jakob's traits are supposed to be 'fear and wonder' (a kickass track on Dimmu Borgir's album 'Puritanical Misanthropic Euphoria', by the way), but I don't believe I ever set Daryil's preferences in stone.

Given what he's been doing to Keaton, I suspect he either likes confusion, or he's deadly interested in "mad panic" ;-]
Where's that clown cubi Soshi made? He was my favorite.

Heh, it's definatly the best clown I've ever seen...I never did like clown's with all their happyness but that one looks nifty.
You're mentioning clowns, and I'm thinking of It (Stephen King), Killer Clowns from Outer Space, the clowns who worked for the Penguin in Batman Returns, and an episode of Ben 10 (http://www.tv.com/ben-10/last-laugh/episode/602805/summary.html) where Ben runs into a psychic vampire clown.
