I was wonder how many of you would like to see Mink show up in the main comic?
We don't need to see him at Lost LAke but it would be nice to see him at least make an appearance in a momentary scene back at SAIA.
Of course. I love squishy cuddle muffins of cute love. But only if it makes sense in the comic - and only if Amber decides it so. :O
I suppose I would primarily like to see him because I think Mink really cares about Abel, and his smiley wonderfulness could be good for the old spotted angst kitten. :)
Are you kidding? Mink BELONGS in DMFA in the first place! :P
Seriously, though, yes, it would be great--as long as Mink remains...Mink-ish...?
Yay!
You may not be gay for Abel, but you WILL be gay and/or stright for Mink.
:mowhappy
Dude. Mink has been in the main comic. Because Abel's Story IS DMFA. It's just a prequel story. =^-^=
You just want confirmation that Mink's still around. :P
The logical place to find Mink in the main strip would be running a hospital in Zinvth. I'm sure that Abel would be willing to write a glowing and pleading letter of recommendation to Miss Soulstealer, and Kria might just be willing to push it for the sake of Abel.
IF he has left SAIA yet.

Good point. 350 years really isn't that long to increase clan size, unless you're doing an Aniz style population burst. (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Ab_015.php)

Indeed we do!
I would very much like to see how Mink is doing in the present, yes.
I personally think that if he had been at SAIA when Dan was there, we would have seen him. I have the feeling that Abel is just staying at SAIA because he doesn't know what else to do with himself, and have essentially been moping around for a few hundred years. Mink wouldn't do that. He is probably out in the world doing good somewhere.

But Jin doesn't typically let members of her clan just wander around like that, she may not have let him leave SAIA yet.

I hate to say it but I agree here.. I want to see more of the other races ;) However, I LOVE MINK now, and would like to know how he is doing at "present"
I wanna see sum' angels.
They're like my favorite race..Sides, how exactly do you show 'light-based' magic? Do they even fight for themselves? Are they capable of beating a demon in a 1 on 1? Are some angels more powerful than the majority of the Demon race? Etc.
i think we can all agree that a city run by undead would be utterly facinating to see as well
i just hope mink's not THERE. or maybe he'd fit in well there, sewing limbs back on...

Actually... I rather think that is a good idea..
I must admit to being curious about the angels as well.
Undead not so much, I kinda find them boring.
Another vote for Mink, but I assume the clan leader thing is current, so we're not going to see him outside of SAIA, right?
While it would be AWESOME to see Mink in the main comic (Especially appearing at the tavern! Which seems to be a Cubi attractor), I have my hesitations about it.

Ew... Now I'm having visions of the Skullstone archipelagio from White Wolf's Exalted. A society where the primary motivation of anything living is either to care for the dead or to become one. A society that thinks itself enlightened, but is actually led by a near godlike undead despot who can, at any time he wants, suck the soul of any and every undead inhabitant into his necromantic furnaces to power his machines of destruction.
But yes, I'd love to see Mink pop in to say hello during the regular comic.

There was a scene in one of the Diskworld noves where Sergeant Angua ( a werewolf) talks about Corporal Nobby Nobbes. (Presumably human. At least, he has letter from the ruler of the city saying so.) As I recall, the conversation went something like this:
Angua: I am not going to let Nobbs be able to say he saw me naked
Associate: But he's seen you as a wolf
Angua: So
Associate: But you aren't wearing any clothes then, so you're naked under that fur
Angua: Don't ever tell him that
As Sergeant Angua had found, the ability to disembowel a miscreant with one hand sometimes aided in insuring their civility
Ah yes, that's the same story where some criminals take her as hostage, right ?
Where the rest of the guards are discussing wether they should go help her .. or them.
:D

Since the Cyra page of the clan leader report Mink did had two members listed, can it be assumed Mink is still at SAIA at this very instant? :U
I wouldn't mind seeing Mink in the main comic, if only to see the 'Suprised Abel Face'. >:3
Of course, more mink please.
I'd love to see more of Mink.
... not that way, you perv! D:
well, OK, if it was tastefully done.
If we saw any more of Mink, it would certainly answer the question of which pronoun to use (he or she).

I didn't even know it was a question. o_O Mink is obviously male, in my opinion, and I don't need to witness his naughty bits to know that. :3
You never know! Mink could be a she, hiding her mammaries with the shape changing, or one of them andro... andry... man-woman people. Androgynous folk?

I believe the word you are looking for is hermaphrodite. :U
No no. A hermaphrodite is a man with lady bits or a woman with man bits. But they still look distinctly man or woman.
Androgynous people are different. Think of a man, but turn the body into the figure of a woman. Or vice versa for a woman with a man-ish looking body. They still have their respective male/female bodies, they just look opposite.

According to Webster, "1 : an animal or plant having both male and female reproductive organs" (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hermaphrodite).
IRL, worms are hermaphrodites with both male and female reproductive organs. One worm can't self-impregnate but two can impregnate each other.
I tend to reflexively think of Mink as more 'he' these days, but there's still a margin for error...more in favor of "squiggly" or maybe "non-Euclidean" than necessarily "female" as far as I'm concerned, mind. ;)

The situation with Natani is a little different. I don't think that there's any question about what she is physically. What she is mentally is a little confused, and I think that she is starting to be confused as well.

A hermaphrodite is
someone born with both ovarian tissue and testicular tissue, What you are describing is not physically possible in a natural sense in humans. There is nothing about "bits" involved. Human bits are either male of female, or somewhere in-between so that you can't tell if its one or the other. Like AmigaDragon said, worms are the only true Hermaphrodites. (No offense by Preop tranny's don't count)
Androgynous is the quest to appear neither male of female, if you have ever met someone who you looked at and were like I can't tell (http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs32/f/2008/196/5/a/Androgynous_by_muchlikefalling.png)

To the forum, yes. To DMFA, no, haha.
The only thing that even remotely leaves it open to speculation for me is the fact that Mink is a mythos, and no one knows what the heck really goes on there. But to this, I say that in general, the genitalia of species has not yet seemed to differ in any other way amongst the mythos when compared to other species. Matilda's got boobs, the girlie two-headed mythos in the Hybrid Genetics arc has boobs.
I'm pretty sold on no boobs, no girl.
Also, if Mink were to go in for gender reconstruction surgery based on his personality, it would be from a male to a female, in my mind, so there's that. And by the same token, I don't think he would be hiding his lady bits for the same reason. :O
I like to think that Mink is just full of softness, joy, and a desire to do good, and that his wonderfully bubbly personality is a byproduct of being the offspring of Clan Jin. I don't even know if he's gay. If he wasn't, I would date him. :mowhappy

See ? totally a boy. Bunny ears and all. :D
Wait, don't you mean a picture of the pretty boy?
Honestly, the first time I saw Tokyo Hotel preform.. I wasn't sure if he was a guy or not. Then he spoke and I still wasn't quite sure.
Well, it can be both a pretty picture and a pretty boy. :)
And yeah, he's just *that* androgyneous.
Offcourse, he gets off on it, playing on it for all it's worth, using makeup to blue the lines even more.
Pretty cool in it's own slightly twisted way.
The main tip-off is the Adam's apple, which is why many female impersonators wear a scarf. There are conditions in which a man can be missing the Adam's apple, but, other than major physical trauma, are normally signs of severe glandular conditions that prevent them from being functional. (I would view castrati as being severe physical trauma.)
Edit:
Not being sexually functional (able to bear or sire children) or having reduced fertility does not mean being a trannie. However, I don't think I've seen a normal (and what's normal) man without an Adam's apple, although it may be more more possible than I thought. I will agree that some women have a noticeable Adam's apple, although usually smaller than a man's.
You do know that some women have adam's apples. Without being trannies.
