Heheh, looks like Abel's attracted the eye of a young Sucubus. Who loves her sammich. And has suction cups. Hm. Interesting. An Octocubi. Or maybe an Octobus. Should I stop with the puns?
So... is it Fa'Lina giving him the tour? And that... raccoon?... in the second panel isn't being very nice, playing keepaway with that Warp-Aci and the cookie.
At first I thought that was a girl... Then I noticed the flat and bare chest in the last panel... And is he waving at Abel or Fa'Lina (Or whoever the tour guide is) or someone we can't see... I can't tell..
I think he's just playing with his glow rat. If the warp-Aci really wants the cookie, he could just port over and grab it, right?
One of those Cubi looks a lot like Dan. The one with magenta wings, freaking out. Maybe another Cyra clan Cubi? Regardless, cool. :goamber
I'm pretty sure that our sandwich eating, waving friend is male. Note the lack of breasts. Cute expressions though.
Oh, and there's the elephant cubi from the previous page.
Krystal can't enjoy her sandwich.... because the cubi got it instead. *nods sagely*
:boogie
I wonder if the cubi with the sandwich is going to come back later in the story .

I noticed that too. But this would be over 350 years before Dan was born, so...
The guide doesn't appear to be Fa'Lina though. The wings are white with black tips and the clothing is a light blue. Not that Fa'Lina couldn't shapeshit to match that, but why would she?
He's gay for Abel.
Note just to the left of the freaking out cubus that there's a canid head just leaning in from offpanel with a very sly look on its face. Oh dearie me.
And that octocubus or whatever it is is farging adorable. Can I keep him? :<

That 'Cubi is heading in the opposite direction that Abel is facing and the speech bubbles are pointing to, so I would assume it is just some random passerby.
Also, the succubus with the book has returned as well!
Quote from: Jairus on February 05, 2009, 11:29:49 PMOr maybe an Octobus. Should I stop with the puns?
Is Octobusfest.
Also, comic is lovely. Exposition on SAIA is few and far between.
Man, I wish we could see the face of that golden- horned, blue- haired succubus in the bottom panel!

I'm pretty sure it's Fa'Lina giving the tour. In Abel's recent/current state, she probably intends to be personally in charge of him for a while. Since she's out of view in each panel, and given the apparent eye contact, I say his wave is for Abel. Maybe he has a thing for spots, or maybe he's just on the lookout for new students to befriend.

Now playing on Winamp: Charles Stanford - Irish Rhapsody No. 4 (Classical Minnesota Public Radio) (http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/charles+stanford/track/irish+rhapsody+no.+4)
via FoxyTunes (http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/)
abel has a new friend. a special friend.
anyone else think hes probably the 'touchie-feelie' kind?
I was going to make mention of my surprise that that character is apparently male (unless "she" has some strange condition of some sort)....
But now I'm not sure why I was surprised--in effect, I'm surprised at my own surprise....
It could just be that Amber decided to subvert the Non-Mammal Mammaries (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NonMammalMammaries) trope, but I suppose it would be best for Amber to clear this up at some future point.
I love the designs, all of them. Is that a doberman on the left there?
Anyway, the main 'Cubi is puzzling me too, though he/she certainly seems to have something of an impulse control problem :P

Unlikely, though I did actually get the idea for him from one of Amber's side characters. This doesn't look like them, though.

any notice in the 3rd panel that it's a white wing, black tipped, and a black and white striped tail... off to the left... though the speech is coming from the other side...

If Amber's anything like me, she probably was tilting her head so that way she could draw at different angles. I have a tendency to do that, so my neck can hurt while I'm drawing too.
Lovely comic, either way. :3 I like the enormous group of Cubi and the effeminate lovesick fellow waving at Abel.

Nah, just kidding. I'm sure it'll be revealed eventually.
Anyway, this can't be too long after the one where he tells 'Lina his decision, since he's still in his hospital clothes.
The first thing I thought of is... "Is he eating eating a pickle sandwich?"
Himm I think I like this new cubi, he's cute... I wonder if he's any relation to Zina Squid
It's like a cheerful retelling of 'One Flew O'er the Cuckoo's Nest' with Abel wearing that straight-coat looking thing.

Well, fans are well known for being a pain in the neck.
Hm, so cubi tend to stay with their own groups in the lunch rooms. Does this mean what feelings they eat, or do they have similar groups like we all did in high school?
It's fun to see all the differences and similarities to actual school they have there. :P
I wonder where Abels group will be? :ipod

*giggles*

I wonder if cubi can actualy see emotions like that.
If they ran into an angery person would they sort of see the hazy anger lines raidiating off them, and if some one was in love would they spot little out of focus hearts circling there head?
Oh, and to the people saying "Octubus", impossible. An octopus style creature would (probably) be a mer, and mer can't have children with cubi (Source http://missmab.com/Demo/HG05.php (http://missmab.com/Demo/HG05.php)), so he might be using a spell to shapeshift, or he's a mythos... I don't know anything about mythos', so I toss that out. (I hope he's shapeshifting)
And if you haven't figured it out yet, I say this because of the suction cup like things on him.

But Mer don't resemble octopi, they look like that spiny thing. It's most likely a Mythos Cubi. Like, a Kraken Cubi or something.
why is a female version of Dan wandering around in the SAIA cafeteria... is it time travel? purely coincidental? a relative?

To be very frank, it's probably a Mythos. But then again, anything that does not immediately resemble a certain race falls straight into the "Mythos" category for me since it makes the world a whole lot easier. :B
Awww, the sandwich cubi is just darling! *hearts hearts*
I was a bit confused by the gender, too, but at this point I'm assuming male because of the flat chestness.

Isn't THAT cubi wearing a skirt...? I know it's hard to tell but it looks like what Abel was wearing when we first saw him (not the same colors, though)....
'Kay, this thread is totally bonkers... and I love it.
I'm fairly sure our new friend is male, perhaps he recognizes Abel from somewhere, or mayhaps he mis-recognizes him as someone else very similar looking, though that seems unlikely given Abel's rather unique appearance, but then... doesn't everyone in Amber's comic have a generally unique appearance?
I'm having difficulty determining whether those things on our new friend's head are horns or wings, though given where we are in the story's setting I'll have to be satisfied with calling them hornwings, *shrugs* perhaps my eyes are going.

I find its a problem when you deal with a comic where you have just enough diversity in races in colour that there aren't a lot of similarities between the cast...but not enough environmental scenes to show diversity outside the main cast. It tends to lead people to think that the whole universe revolves around the main cast and so every similarity must be a connection.

Honestly, I would have been a bit more loose with the colours in the new strip, except that Beings with Creature-like colouring would likely run the risk of going the same way as Dorcan in that particular town.

I mean yeah...I will acknowledge that most people dont catch on that the bright-colour=creature heritage angle. But a whole clan run by a gay man that doesn't have an ounce of fabulous colours?! That's just stretching reality a bit too far. :U

What's wrong with Niall? Grey foxes simply don't look like that except in anthro comics :P
actually he looks more silver fox in coloration, greys looking more like:

I guess I ought to come clean - they were originally hazel, but when Turnsky did his rendition I thought it was time to give him a bit of a makeover and yes, realising that I'd missed a trick with the colours, I changed them to something more exotic.
**EDIT**
I realise the PF thread went a little wild, but why are we discussing my comic here?
Every time someone says "My fanfics", I often die a little inside.
Really, the only way I know of that Edward=Aniz is either Amber heard the theory and said "Sure, why not?", or she pulled a George Lucas and had everything planned out from the start.

I find its a problem when you deal with a comic where you have just enough diversity in races in colour that there aren't a lot of similarities between the cast...but not enough environmental scenes to show diversity outside the main cast. It tends to lead people to think that the whole universe revolves around the main cast and so every similarity must be a connection.
Wait wait wait.. so does this mean that... :U...Edward isn't Aniz! Gasp no! My fanfics! How now will I justify making Dan fall in love with Abel to only find out that they're brothers and entangled in a forbidden love! HOW!?
@ Amber: Aww, but sometimes those little oddities you'd normally dismiss as normal variation in the population come back to haunt you in later comics!

before this thread gets back on track, may i suggest starting with more 'unusual' hair colorations, etc.. i've done the same with a few of my own characters, just to add distinction to them:

I don't know guys, I think maybe Mink is just a friendly fellow. He just loves seeing and meeting new people like Abel.

It could just be that Amber decided to subvert the Non-Mammal Mammaries (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NonMammalMammaries) trope, but I suppose it would be best for Amber to clear this up at some future point.
I just had to say this. If you take into account several non-mammal characters that have fallen to this trope already (Alykia, Shanna, Hennya, Matilda, et-frickin'-cetera) I HIGHLY doubt this is our one rare subversion.
Also, I also feel the need to say this.... The guide says "most cubi keep to a particular lounge" and we have Abel (*cough*) and another supposed male who could pass as a female (*cough*) looking at him in a way that most dudes would feel uncomfortable having faced in their general direction.

To be blunt, I really don't care about Mink's gender. That is to say, I don't
currently care. But until either Amber or the comic clarifies whether Mink is a he or a she, I'm going to call Mink "it."
Long answer short: after watching Tieria Erde (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/82/Gundam_00_-_Tieria_Erde.jpg) and
his (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tieria_Erde) siblings at work in Gundam 00, I am wary of identifying by gender any borderline case like Mink's.

Just to clarify, I mean the concept of Marluxia. Marluxia was female in the original concept for Chain of Memories. The character himself didn't have a sex change or anything like that. Just wanted to make that clear.

Besides which, purple and yellow shouldn't go together: mix those two colors, you get brown. They don't complement each other, they just clash. Red and purple or blue and purple would do nicely, as would green and yellow or orange and yellow. And for that matter, red and green clash too, but I'll let it slide because of Christmas. All I'm saying is that you don't need colors to clash to get colorful.

I disagree about yellow and purple not going together--I've seen that in basketball jerseys and it looked fine to me.
Then again, I like yellow and dislike purple....
Those are sports, they're allowed to look stupid. Besides, in my mind this is just a rule of thumb. You can subvert it, if you can pull it off. And Simeon... couldn't.
You phail, Simeon! :O
But I agree. Purple should either go with something dark, or with more purple. Thankfully, in his finished version the only colours that seem to clash are on his wings.
Quote from: Jairus on February 08, 2009, 05:29:26 PM
Besides which, purple and yellow shouldn't go together: mix those two colors, you get brown. They don't complement each other, they just clash. Red and purple or blue and purple would do nicely, as would green and yellow or orange and yellow.
Waah? Purple and gold (which is basically a kind of yellow) are the traditional colours of royalty. Roman emperors spent centuries perfecting that look. :3
Heck... my avatar is all black, purple, and gold. Just like this mow: :mowninja Don't the colours complement each other nicely?
However, I will concede that the colours Tapewolf picked do not go together. :mowtongue

That wasn't supposed to be yellow, it was supposed to be brass, but I didn't have the usual colour I use for that to hand. We went with silver armour in the end anyway.

I'm here, so haven't I already succeeded? :giggle
(...I can't believe I went through with that joke. :U)
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)
Well, vampires are extinct on Furrae, so that would make a dhampir slightly more difficult to find. If only I could find that strip...
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)

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:
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k216/tapewolf/projectfuture/Simeon1a.png
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).

If you must. My current avatar was extracted from these:

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.

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.
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.
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.
Fine...

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

Or he'll get reassigned to be someone else's roommate, and Abel will drive someone else insane.
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 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Ab_033.php) and this (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_425.php) are different Abels... or vastly different stages of his personality's (and reputation's?) development over 300+ years.

Is there a reason that you skipped over
http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_527.php (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_527.php)
It was mentioned that some of the tests on Abel would have to be delayed until he was a little more stable (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Ab_021.php). However, I suppose the main reason for not mentioning Dan's tour would be that Abel's tour was a few hundred years earlier. Is that what you were referring to?
Uh... No.
I was instead referring to the possibility that Mink has an affinity for the emotion of love. If that is true, his excitement over seeing Abel for the first time would not be anything unusual. It would just be his nature to be friendly and excited about meeting someone new.
I did not mention #527 because it did not talk about emotional affinities.
