Title: Cast page update
Post by: Amber Williams on December 24, 2006, 04:12:57 AM
Urgh...I really need to keep an eye on my art to see when it gets really old.

Abel's cast page was revised. Some different/new information and a new image.  I might be revamping Mab's page next cause it is full of suck.

This would also be the time to suggest revisals or point out comments in the pages that are outdated...for I am stupid.


Later on the agenda is also a restarting of Demonology 101...primarily the race pages first and foremost. I've been holding them off too long.  If there are particular races you want to see first, feel free to suggest.  (Note I said races.)

I'm also in debates about adding a new section based on particular spells/abilites of races and general trivia like race-compatability and such.


Hope everyone is having a good holiday weekend.

Mostly I meant in terms of terminology and spells that often get referenced. A lot of people get some creatures inate abilities mixed up with abilities they have to learn to use...so I figured a little section about certain racial-abilities might be useful.

So "common-but-not-standard-to-us" things like Glory's Shield, Devin's Ice Spike-thing and such, rather than going through and listing common spells like firebolt, right? And the fact `cubi have to learn to use their abilities rather than having them innately, etc.*

(*In that they have them to begin with, but need to learn how to harness and use the abilities they have.)

New Abel is all pouty. I think he looks kinda... well, to put it in the words of the Unreal 2 Marine... "Don't look at me like that."

She used <a/> at the end of the Abel's Story link instead </a>

It also has <TD WIDTH="515" Class="rant" VALIGN="TOP"> resulting in black text at the top while others have <TD WIDTH="515" VALIGN="TOP"> resulting in white text.

Sheesh. We all know people make mistakes, but it's not hard to drop a quiet pm into Amber's box, and let her deal with it, now, is it? Rather than messaging her here, in the sight of everyone?


Maybe it's just me, but I feel that's somewhat impolite...

Saay, is there any way we could convince Amber to sticky this thread and note whenever she makes an update?  Once all the cast pages are updated, it could be de-stickied.

Yeah.  I try to keep it to PMs unless it's something interesting.  Like the gender of the Latin word for shield or when someone calls someone a half-bread instead of half-breed.  I don't always follow my own advice, though.  I did manage not to comment on the mispelling of dragon as `Dagon.'

...until now, I mean.

Well I'm not updating ALL the cast pages. Just a couple that are badly art outdated or have out of date info if they have them.

That and I'm slow so it will likely be a month or 3 before I get to them. XD

Hmm... I'd love to see more info on the classes/categories of spell magic in Furrae. For instance, what constitutes dark or light-oriented magic? They're the most common racial specialties, but dark "shadow" magic is only mentioned in passing in the Demonology in reference to stealth and warp-aci summoning, and light magic is never described except to say that it can be powerful. Dialog in the comic, on the other hand, suggests that the stereotypical demonic/cubi spell repertoire is more lightning bolts than shadows...

In terms of races, the remaining races are Pheonix (A), Gryphon (A), Gryphon (C), and Human. I don't really count animal-based species as a race so a canine would likely be in the same grouping as a feline and equine sans the aesthetics and minor quirks.

I will likely explain sometime in Demo 101 the magic classes but overall it's a pretty simple setup.

i'm guessing that Gryphons would be Anthro and Creature respectively.. Cool nontheless..

and yeah, other than aesthetics, canines, felines, equines, etc would belong to the same grouping

Except for Albanion, but he's already on the Fae page and I can't see him becoming very important to the plot in the near future. Since we've only ever seen him... what, once? In the whole Creature Council thing that got taken to pieces to work out who all the shadowy figures were. :P

Well, how many strips have the Creature Council appeared in?  Certainly more than one, and maybe even more than Dark Peg.

You know what?  I don't want to argue about this.  If the council belongs anywhere, it's not on the cast page, but in Demonology 101.

I actually agree with you, I'm just playing (the opposite of) Devil's Advocate.

I think Regina's cast page existed for a good while before the War... not 100% sure, though. I'd have to do a needle/haystack search in the old forum to prove it, though.
