Answer no..Its not...And stop picking it wont get better
You're not the first to so speculate. I'm sure there's some mention somewhere else in the forum....

This doesn't take into account anything Amber might have said on the old forum. Try me again later, after I get home and sort out my web server there....
you may be right. I was thinking the same thing myself when I read #479 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_479.php)
Kria mentions both Biggs and the Council in the same context.
Unlikely. Although he may be there as a representative of the TT, I doubt anybody really pays attention to what he says.
I'm more interested by whoever that is in space #2. Fae, obviously, and I'd guess, going by outline, one of the "big cat" types. But it's probably nothing important. :P

If the white dot is where it's mouth is, then unless the head's at a very odd angle, that's gotta be a very short muzzled equine of any kind. >_>
Oh plus the fact that the demonology on Fae alludes to the fact that the notable fae figure, Albanion, is on the creature council. So yea, i'd say equine
ps- plus the shape of the gem on the fae's head matches Albanion's
pps- As for Biggs on the CC, its possible. If you look very closely at the shadowed figure, there are some similarities.
1. The hair of the shadowed figure and Biggs is very similiar.
2. The shadowed figure is wearing a bandana, which Biggs also wears.
3. The shadowed figure is wearing something around his neck, which when I used a paint program to zoom in on an clean up the magnified image, resembles a B.
Well, if that IS Biggs, this quote from Demo 101 "To this date there isn't even a Were on the Creature-Being council" will burst the bubbles of all those people who think Wildy's a Were. But then there'd be the question of what the heck ARE they?

And that council seems to silly to actually possess the means to do more than scheme!
Weres are supposed well-developed magical powers. Wildy has shown no evidence of this that I can recall. Now Dan is also highly magic-capable but dislikes it, although Wildy's "can you do magic?" question to Dan in their childhood kind of speaks against that line of reasoning.

3. Pyroduck is actually vacationing from the past, since everyone knows you can't go BACK in time and change events, only FORWARD.
4. Jyrras's ears will cover the entire world exactly twelve years from now. (And Amber will still be making comics by that time. :mwaha)
5. Destania has her third set of wings.
6. Fa'Lina has her fourth set of wings, on her ankles.
7. Wildy has a crush on Jyrras, but is afraid to admit it because throwing one more romantic conundrum into his head will make him crack.
8. Merlitz's story about going back to adventuring is a ruse: he has gone back to SAIA to be with the new love of his life: the librarian. Nevermind the fact that Dan was in the library the entire time Merlitz was wandering off by himself.
There ya go, discuss!
[Edit] Oh, and Tapewolf, don't forget that Wildy's a shaman, so she probably has some sort of healing magic in her reportoir by now.

Yeah, but that was just a mail-order degree - we haven't so far seen any evidence of actual powers so far, unless you count Dan's resurrection - and I swear Dan was self-healing via his latent 'cubi powers.
Now, usually when we do insane speculation, I trot out the 'Abel-is-Dan's-father' theory but last time I did that (earlier this week) people started to believe it, so I think now is not the time.
Merlitz is actually a rock star. He actually decided to leave Pegasus, Gen, Dice and Nitemyst because of artistic differences, but his attempts to pursue a solo career didn't pan out. Aliyka and he are currently engaged in an epic cross-dimensional search to recruit the legendary human organist Keith Emerson. If they succeed, the band will be known as EL&M (Emerson, 'Liyka and Merlitz).
Quote from: Toric on November 30, 2006, 04:47:39 PM6. Fa'Lina has her fourth set of wings, on her ankles.
Such a mercurial attitude!
Anyways, if we're being ordered to speculate...
1. Destania is Neni (no one's proven me wrong, yet).
2. Jyrras kills Kria on their honeymoon.
3. Destania was mauled by Aaryana.
4. Pyroduck is from an alternate universe where you're issued ration cards for music. You know, a utopia.
5. Not only is Abel hemophobic and homophobic, he is also hydrophobic.
6. Abel also has the royal disease.
7. Dan kills his father and marries his mother.
8. Bill Watterston comes out of retirement to do a strip that proves that the noodle incident and the library incident are one in the same.
Edit: Oh!
9. Dan has Dutch Elm Disease. You see, it turns out that `cubi can seduce not only animals but also plants, fungi, single-celled organisms, bdelloid rotifers... And what Dan thought was a really vivid dream about The Last Unicorn was not.

Oh, you people. :rolleyes
Heh, on the subject of the topic itself...I haven't seen anything of Biggs using magic (and I'm not sure if anyone's pointed that out somewhere yet...), so one would think that he was a Being, not a Creature, and therefore not on the Creature Council.
Though who knows, maybe they were impressed by his taking over of Twink Territories and gave him an honorary position. :3
It's a good thing someone pointed out that Demonology entry, else I would have suspected that the person/thing in that seat looked indeed like a Were in human form...or just a human. Then again, they don't exist in that dimension, so instead of speculating, one should just be keeping opinions open.
took over? In the comic, he says all that was his doing, not that he took over.

The creatures' law is 'if you're strong enough to take and hold something, then you deserve to have it'. So, if Biggs was powerful enough (using whatever sort of power) to create the twinks, which group includes a whole bunch of creatures, he'd be worthy of a seat on the creature council even if he was a being.
And of COURSE the twinks would rather work under Creature laws than Being laws. If a being PKs, they can get sent to prison for murder.
The only problem being that twinks aren't a race, but a "species/class", meaning they can't actually be on the council unless they were representing their race.

and you're forgetting amber hasn't yet defined twinks in demonology, so they'll be a mystery forever on what they actually DO when they're twinking (or at least until she sacrifices everything to get it updated) :3
And I'm still convinced Pyro's a twink. We have pre-canon evidence of him liking twinkies. Everyone knows twinks and twinkies go together like a fish and a bicycle. Solid evidence.

We know what twinks do. They twink. They godmode, they hack the servers, they cheat. If a twink wanted to get onto the Creature Council, it would just use a hex editor to change the value of the race attribute in the character structure. How would it find the proper offset? From another twink.

Alright, I may be speculating, but look:
I took the 3rd panel person from here http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_366.php
I then focused on the chest itself, increased the image size and embossed it to bring focus to the 3 dimensional details.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/Teroniss/biggs.jpg)
That thing on his chest looks like a B, speculation or no.
Just random and going by the fact that they're shown up before....
That character you guys are thinking is biggs, the ears are too small and the muzzle far too short, which leads me to think more human than anything...
Speculating, and more likely than not, about as far off as you can get.
I always thought the figure in cell 3 was a human, and any lookalikeiness to Biggs was coincidence.
I say he's a card carrying member at the council why? because he has the abilities as a Twink to cheat at everything and has unlimteless magic at his disposal. I bet he changed his appearance so nobody will figure out who he really is. The B on his chest confirms it and also why Lorenda's mom will mentioned his name and the council at the same sentence because she's knows Biggs is part of that council that's why.
If he did, he wouldn't get people to do his dirty work and be a complete sissy. >.>

The problem with twinks is they generally lose power as they leave their 'home'. This is why Biggs is rarely seen
outside the TT - his 'powers' (if any, which I doubt) would dwindle and become ineffective once he entered somewhere that at least vaguely follows the laws of physics, biology and genetics.
See, at least in a standard roleplay-type scenario, most people just ignore them. The more ignored a twink is, the more their powers weaken. Ignore them entirely and eventually they just get a clue and give up or change. The problem is, as soon as someone starts paying attention who isn't either the DM or an Admin, they recover their losses. Hence why TT still survives, even if ignored by the outside world, because they just can't ignore one-another. Self-powered situation, as it were.

Wait.... so you actually have who or whatever that is sketched out in the original pre-computer colored strip?

*sigh* You made me come out of lurking for this?
OK, here's my indisputable theory:
The shadowy figure is the council's amazon representative.
Fact 1: The shadowy figure looks identical to Hahwru (http://www.missmab.com/Demo/were.php). Too identical to be a coincidence.
Fact 2: That very Demonology entry states that Weres have no representation on the Creature council.
So, if she's on the creature council, she must be hiding her Were nature.
Fact 3: Hahwru is an amazon.
That's the only other relevant piece of information we have about her, and the only other reason I can think of why she'd be on the council. Why would an amazon be on the council if they're a 'class'? Perhaps some council big-wigs wanted a Were rep, but were aware that the race preferred to stay hidden, so they invited Hahwru to represent Amazons instead. This would have been accepted perhaps for similar reasons as to why people have thought Twinks would be there - they're highly influential, and have gained an honourary position.

You know, the myth that I heard was that one breast was bound, not cut off. Anyways, that seems to be based on the theory that they could use a bow more freely, but since the longbow wasn't invented until c.1300 and the Amazon myth goes back to Homer (at least), it's unlikely to be true in any case.
Edit: It is, however, likely to be true that this Hahwru has one breast bound, since we see that in her profile. It's just not an Amazon thing (Unbound in 707 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_707.php) and 709 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_709.php)).
Also, since longbows have probably been invented by now in Furrae, the bound breast thing may have been since adopted.
Interesting thingie on amazons, while we're on that subject.
Quote from: WikipediaThe name Αμαζών is probably derived from an Iranian ethnonym, *ha-mazan-, originally meaning "warriors". A connected word is probably the Hesychius gloss ἁμαζακάραν· πολεμεῖν. Πέρσαι ("hamazakaran: 'to make war' (Persian)", containing the Indo-Iranian root kar- "make" also in kar-ma).
The Greek variant of the name was connected by popular etymology to a- (privative) + mazos, "without breast", connected with an aetiological tradition that Amazons had their right breast cut off or burnt out, in order that they might be able to use the bow more freely; there is no indication of this practice in works of art, in which the Amazons are always represented with both breasts, although the right is frequently covered. Other suggested derivations were: a- (intensive) + mazos, breast, "full-breasted"; a- (privative) and masso, touch, "not touching" (men); maza, a Circassian word said to signify "moon", has suggested their connection with the worship of a moon-goddess, perhaps the Asiatic representative of Artemis.
I seem to recall Mab stating that she lost that breast to cancer.
Definitely maybe though the head is the wrong shape *thinks hard* I know this is wrong but it almost looks human :[
I've actually toyed with the idea of a human being in the CC for whatever silly reason.
Okay, I know this might just be an out-of-canon incident, but the human in the "Merlitz and the Human" arc obviously had to get to Furrae somehow. Perhaps a dimensional rift is known about only by a select few (those on the council) and thus, they have a human on it. Maybe to help keep other humans out.
Maybe they're just... hiding behind couches. Like the dinosaurs in Dilbert. :B

Merlitz knew how to find one to send the human back (and yes, this must be canon since the current arc is referencing it). It might not be exactly common knowledge, but Merl certainly knew about it.
Now speaking from a practical point of view, if you wanted to go off and find humans, either you'd try to get hold of some way to manipulate dimensional gates, or you'd summon a Warp-Aci, since they can and do cut through the dimensional boundaries with their tails.
A human on the council to farfetched maybe. I still think it's Biggs because if Destinia was with him all this time will she pull that same magic that Abel did to Dan to make him Alexsi? I think thats Biggs for sure mind you she's there at Twinks territory for some reason which we will know for a later time. But with that theory there which I stated it has to be Biggs for sure.

I was thinking that since it was said that Dice wanted to use the incident, perhaps his girlfriend created the illusion of a human. As for Merlitz's knowledge of the gate, I'm not sure about that. Maybe it's common knowledge among adventurers, such that they'll know what to do with a human if they found one.

QuoteMaybe it's common knowledge among adventurers, such that they'll know what to do with a human if they found one.
Merlitz doesn't seem to know how the human got there until he's talked to him somewhat. By implication he also knows the location of multiple gates..
You know, everyone seems to be overlooking one thing--
What if gates and the knowledge and locations thereof are more common in Furrae than in the human dimension?
What if there's one gate in the human dimension, located on the continent of Mu beyond the Guardians of Infinity and usable only to those who have read and understood the eldritch symbols of the Voynich Manuscript?
But in Furrae, there's a dimensional gate in every 7-11, right behind the Slurpee machine, with instructions on how to use it in three languages?

That's actually the basis of the 'Marooned in 1968' arc in my story :P
I don't know if a human is here in Furae then this world will be in shock and dismayed but the ruthlessness of the human. That's why in Furae they feared humans for that reason of destruction etc. If this is true that a human is on the counsel then Furae is in a lot of trouble to deal with this matter.
