Well finally we see that DP is gonna be okay after like a week... oh well it was worth the wait. you would think Regina wouldn't be so easy to bore being a demon and all
perhaps that's what get demons in trouble, they get bored so go out and cause havoc for their entertanment

Now that I think about it I think that is how Kria is
an entire race with ADHD and a tendency to violence...
I can see my paychecks rolling in for demon slaying.

My guess is there are two main types: get bored so they go out and wreck havoc (Regina, probably Kria to a certain degree), and plotters who normally do things in a very planned and precise manner(DP being a prime example).

*Nodding head furiously* yep that sounds pretty reasonable although that could fit any race if you ask me
I can identify with Regina there.... I don't like her much but I can identify with her in this comic....
Attention span of a gnat!
I'm having flashbacks to Abel...
heh heh what if Abel and Regina had a kid there would be no attention span at all... :mowcookie
Oh man I f***ing love Regina
I noticed that shirt looks better on how now. I guess last time I mentioned it, it was because the view was right up in her face.
EDIT: I noticed the A Link to the Past reference in the rant.

Two main types that we've seen so far. Out of one family. Of four people. One of whom is atypical.
Not a small sample size at all, is there. Nor a likelyhood that the ones we've seen are, well, y'know, like each other because they're related or something...
/sarcasm
Anyone thing any of it actually has sunk in? Like the fact that they've seemingly killed Destania's child, which she probably won't like? Or that if Dan does survive this he's going to be even more mad at them both and considerably better prepared next time?
Considering how Regina normally behaves... probably not.
Oh, Regina Regina Regina. It it just me, or is is becoming more and more apparent that she's screwed if she ever makes it to the real world at this point?

Actually... now that I think about it, have we even met any angels in DMFA? I mean, I know we've only seen five dragons (one in a non-canon arc), so I know this idea of dragons all being a bunch of jerks isn't totally backed up by the comic due to the small sample size. For that matter, aside from the creature council, have we ever seen a Mer or Insectis? Have we ever seen a Were in-comic? That's weird: thanks to the Demonology pages, we know about a bunch of Races that really haven't shown up.

If we have, we might not know...
When it comes down to the other races, Amber might have just forgotten to include them as of yet (or just hasn't seen a reason for them to appear) or could be saving them for future plotlines
Odd, that we have a "moments later" heading on the first and third panels IIRC, we haven't seen such time framers before. She usually simply allows for the context to establish time. Does anyone think they were necessary/superfluous/useful/distracting/whatever here? The internal jury is still deliberating over here.
Dan, like Al, has been dead before and risin from the grave. Cannon or not, if Dan bites the big one He will come back to "smite him so far past heaven and hell that he'll come back as puss." <----Now that's puss, as in the bacteria in pimples not puss, like puss in boots.
How long is a 'moments later,' anyway?

Oh, yeah - that nasty yellowish goo is "pus", not "puss".
If you had an infected cat now... Okay, not going there.

Oh we did see Angels when going to talk with about DP way back in the first mission we saw to fight DP. They were the guy on the chair who was presented by the other angel as a wise and all knowing person, while actually being scared of the room and his assistant. I guess the woman angel was actually the person with all the brains and he was just the window dressing. Just like what Amber said angels use usually more under the table methods to acquire their power. Then again it might be an entirely different reason for that situation.
As for the others. I haven't seen any others of those particular races except in the counsel.
I think even a Were might have been present in the counsel meeting.
Someone give her a coloring book and a few crayolas crayons and she will be set!

Now we can all see why Amber kept Regina around. The comic potential of an immature, easily bored teenage girl is just limitiless!. . . . As long as you're not the one living with her.
I don't envy DP.
Ah, but I bet when playing through kindergarten the demons are a tough act to clean after when they can probably toss twice their wait around.
I wonder if a teacher gets hazard pay when they get a demon in their class. :P

True. Nothing is for certain about the ones in the shadows. I should have probably have said maybe instead.
But in #366: Hard to lurk in shadows when your hair is on fire. One of the members shares some traits that can be seen on the outline of the shadow that are simular to the character that is repersented in Demo 101 the were-race.
But your point holds true as well.
Who's talking about what? There are two councils, the Creature Council, and the Creature-Being Council (CC and CBC). Page 366 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_366.php) is the Creature Council, and page 287 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_287.php) is the Creature-Being Council

I think the ones in the shadows are more of a secret group llike what we sometimes think when we here of government conspiracy.
While the other is the more public government which all the people know but only some think its their true government representative.
I was referring to the Creature council that hides in the shadows.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that character looks familiar, though I didn't make the connection with the Were in the demonology page until you mentioned it... I see it now, but my original assumption was a completely different character >_> <_<
It's a little sad that Regina loves Kria so much and showed that she cared about her in the last comic by showing concern over her being left with Dan, but then seems to have forgotten about her so quickly. Though it's not unexpected. Even her love for Kria seems to be based purely in selfishness.
Sorry to mess up the topic but, I've played and beat most of the Zelda games but I don't recognize that reference.
Hmmm.... What about the Ice cream though? She lost track of her ice cream
Yup... it is easy to tell Kria and Regina are related... both seem to have a particularly slowly aging mind. Kria said that a demon's "age freezes in their 20s"... for Kria and Regina it feels more like their age has frozen at like... 10 years old or something. XD A level of impatience so extreme, it is even worse than your average teenager's!

Hey, just because some of us think she's cute, doesn't mean we'd be willing to overlook her other (evil and immature, etc.) traits.

Well, they had wings. I didn't really think about it when I read that during my archive dive, they have wings, Dan has wings, Aliyka has wings, no big deal. Yeah, they could be Angels. Or they could some Being/Creature hybrids, or Cubi, for that matter.

What 287 shows is the
Legal Council, which exist to try adjudicate disputes between Creatures and Beings. Doesn't work very well, which is why adventures exist.
Creature Council (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness);

page 366 panel two - Fae

Seeing a pendant on his chest, panel 3 could possibly be Biggs, though the face looks a bit too flat. Maybe it's a were in human form.
Are weres in Furrae confirmed to have a human form or could they have just some other being form different from their were (feral animal) form?

Well, the demonology seems to be saying those three forms.
It's pretty obvious that its Biggs or Destania- A short person with Bigg's old hairstyle and a "B" pendant, lying back in their chair, doing that finger thing that Biggs does, and wearing his headband. Odds are pretty good it's Biggs- or Destania impersonating him so that he can do something else. The Cubi is a a cat cubi because cats are the only ones that Amber draws with flat faces, and the Fae is Albanion. The weird thing though, is that its the creature council, not the evil council. There's no way it makes sense to let beings that rule creature lands go to their secret meetings.

It's not clear enough to make out Bigg's pendant. It could just as easily be Hahwru's medallion, and the headband matches hers exactly.

Through Kria at the very least. Kria and Biggs are on speaking terms enough to have a discussion about politics and the future, but we can't infere more than that from 479.
How much is actually known about the council as a whole?
I keep thinking it as being something akin to the UN, except for species and so on
although if that were so, why the secrecy? why is everyone in darkness, leaving only their blackened outlines to do the talking?
are they just taking advantage of cheap lighting by having the pheonix as the only light source, or did they just not buy any lightlbulbs, because I keep thinking them as being more evil than any good
