Title: Question!
Post by: Aleolus on June 08, 2008, 01:35:58 AM
Umm, might it be possible for a Fae to become undead, or to assume an undead body?  Because I was just looking over this (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_798.php) comic, and noticed a striking resemblance to Hannah in the current story-arc, and was wondering if there might be a connection between them.  Probably about as far off-base as you can get, but the thought still occurred to me.

My gut would say they are not related, as the flashback takes place in the past, and that scene would be from the current timeline.

The left side of the backdrop in the last panel? Might be similar coloring and species appearance, but I think you're barking up the wrong tree. With even merely thousands of individuals, you can have similar looks between some.

Also, Amber draws what she likes drawing. We've already had vague similarities between Xander and someone at SAIA; no big deal, but despite looking almost identical, they were different people.

Go figure. *shrug*

A fae could always take on the guise on an undead, it's well-within their power, but they'd still just be a fae in the guise on an undead.

But somehow, i doubt hannah's a fae.

well it has been established you cant kill a fae unless they want to be killed- and once they die they kinda sublimate into nothingness leaving only their soul in a babeh.


thus i would think no- as theres no dead body in this scenerio

Fae taking on an undead appearance?
I would think the answer would be "yes"... to some extent. If they can take any form, they can certainly make themselves look undead(Various realistic looking missing bits can't be *that* hard to make). They may not have all the abilities however, unless they can be mimicked using Fae powers.

Fae becoming undead? Definitely not. They don't die unless they want to, so they really can't become undead. Also, even if a Fae got bitten and then willed themselves to die, I don't think it would work, probably due to Fae magics not being compatible... But then again, why would any Fae *want* to become an undead?

You're overreaching. By many hundreds of miles. End of story.

Why does a fae do anything? Boredom!

   8) A Fae could do it , just to say, "  Hey you, I did it first ...  "

that calls into question the definition on whether a Fae is governed by the rules of furrae, as i see it, the Fae make their own rules, so to speak.

That said, undead are generally icky, unpleasant and sad things... all the things a fae isn't..
that and "undead" would apply to mortals, which fae are anything but..

Um... I don't understand... Are you agreeing with me or disagreeing?

I was saying that I figured it would be possible for a Fae to take on the form of, or roleplay, an undead character, yet it would most likely not be possible for a Fae to actually *become* undead.

i was illustrating a few points, namely a fae wouldn't roleplay undead, there may be personality conflicts there, and a fae is all about self image, they'd most likely imitate a fellow being rather than an undead.
and i was saying that it was impossible for a fae to become undead, since that is the realm of mortal beings, fae are, effectively godlike in their power and ability, they can only die if they choose to, and even then they're reborn.

    8) Remember, they get out of role-playing ...  They could appear to all as " undead " for awhile ...

Ah. I really cannot say if a Fae would or would not *want* to roleplay undead, although it would make sense that they wouldn't, for the reasons you stated. On the other hand, after a few hundred million years, it might start looking like something to try.

I completely agree with you on your second point.

Just as a slight aside, I would like to point out that it is spelled 'roleplay', not 'rollplay'.

Roleplaying is pretending to be something/someone else and acting accordingly. Rollplaying would be using dice (and a chart or list) or other similar devices to randomly determine your actions.
