Beings have them beat, though. The little "weaklings" outnumber everyone else combined by about a hundred to one.
Wait, did you say
you hope demons aren't overly aggressive? Have you actually been reading the comic?
I have to confess that my first thought about demon-half breeds was Dante and Virgil, and wondering what animal they would be if they were on Furrae...
EDIT; I'm sorry for your wrist, Amber. Get well soon.

...That has to be one of the funniest things I've ever read... "I hope demons aren't overly aggressive".
KCA = Winner of this round
thankfully theyre probably too busy beating each other up to prove which one is the most studly mating machine to really terrorize the rest of the populace
however due to their numbers combined with how many must be slain by skilled adventurers every year, theyve gotta reproduce pretty swiftly to keep in the game

I read 'Demon's are the most common creature race in furrae.' Now that begs the question, are beings known only as beings, or do they count as 'creatures' as well? Where are you getting your info from? I didn't see any exact numbers stated in the beings section..
And no, I never read the comic.
...
Really now. Of course I do, but now that I know this, I can only hope the acts of aggression are the actions of a select group of demons, and not their race as a whole.. cuz if not.. well. I'm selling my real estate in furrae in a hurry.

Beings are the ordinary mortal folk, Creatures are the magical kind. Beings are the most numerous people in Furrae.

Difficult to say. Even if they are, you will always get people who question the status quo or otherwise 'don't want to play ball'.
To quote the demonology: "...while there are plenty of cases of good-natured demons, by and large the race isn't that afraid to use [their claws] whenever the chance arises."
EDIT:
Oh yes, and get well soon, Amber.
Considering that the daemon race seems to respect only power, I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem taking over if they ever felt like it. Course this is just considering they're all in one big army, so to speak.

Point. But should they have enough, let's look at it this way, 'cubi are like the spy off of team fortress 2. And I would also think any "farming equipment" Jyrras may have would help to some extent. >:3

You make another valid point. Truth be told, I was just considering that much if not all of the 'cubi populace was at risk of being killed, should have said that. :B And you may wanna think about playin' team fortress 2, its pretty fun, and there's a pc version meaning you wouldn't even need a home console. :)

Oblivion is next and I can well imagine it sucking another year of my life away like Morrowind did. If TF2 will work offline in W2K, or under WINE, I might consider it but to be honest, it doesn't sound very interesting from what little I've heard.

Well, I guess you just kicked my statement in the nards, cuz I don't think it plays offline, and I don't even know what you mean by WINE, so yeah you kicked it in the nards... that's a funny word. :giggle
Yikes, Amber. As someone who has spent large chunks of her life with wrist bracers on (I have CTS, plus I've broken my right thumb and sprained my left wrist on a couple of different occasions), I can honestly say that trying to draw/write/type/put one's clothing on with the bracers on is an extreme pain in the tush. I hope that, whatever your problem is, it will heal soon and without too much difficulty. :hug
As for the comic...well, that explains a lot about Lorenda, anyway.

That's my hope as well. Hopefully demons have an even bigger share of infighting than cubi do. Almost as if it was an aspect of their race. :mowwink
As far as I'm seeing, demons and angels are almost no more one-sided than the rest of the races. You have you're good and you're bad. Like so:
http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_524.php
Each appears to lean a tiny bit more to each respectively known side, but all in all, there are still many who cover the other side.
We need more clowns at hospitals...
Maybe this is just me calling on my 'verse again, but I've always thought of Angels as Lawful and Demons as Chaotic. Not necessarily good and evil, just Lawful and Chaotic. Even the most good Demon (Lorenda) still flaunts the rules when she feels like it, while the way that Angels work and plan reminds me of the concept of Lawful Evil. Well, there's my two cents anyway.
And Alterationartist, we do need more clowns at hospitals. We also need more good clowns, and not some guy who painted his face and put on some weird clothes and is trying to be funny. The old fashioned trained clown who was genuinely funny, and not creepy...

Ya know wut? I'm not gonna go there!
I think it goes without saying that if any race truly banded together and worked as a solid group, they could easily crush their opposition. But most races simply do not have that ability to work together. And the ones that do honestly don't care about taking over but just work on defending their own borders.
Even though this idea will never take due to Amber's busybusybusy schedule, it would be so cool to have a giant poster giving a visual example of every possible half-breed/love-child result/undead effect possible!

Probably Neutral Good, True Neutral, or Neutral Evil. Not very exciting, really.

You missed an entry, go back and read the Cubi entry.
Ok, so it doesn't actually say they
are the result of angels and demons pairing up...
Quote...it is often a joke that the Cubi race was created because the Angel and Demon race got along "too" well.
Did I see a typo in the last panel? "...farther down the
genderation one goes..."
Oh golly. I hope Amiga isn't actually posting typos directly into the thread...especially since there is a rule in the DMFA discussion rules about PMing me over such things rather than cluttering up the threads with stuff like that since once fixed the post becomes irrelevant.
I really hope so. Cause if I recall right, there is a one day ban for people who do that rather than PM...
Request for clarification.
The comment that "Demons are the most common creature race in Furrae. They tend to outnumber all other Creatures by about three to one".
Does that mean that Demons outnumber any other single Creature species by 3:1? Or does that mean that Demons outnumber all other creatures combined by 3:1?

I have it (it was full-version gifted to me by a friend), but my only attempt to play with people I knew had them all running off to different servers at random and leaving me alone. So I thought "sod this for a game of soldiers" and never touched the game again. However, out of the goodness of my wretched pink heart I just threw an available (temporary) guest pass for the game at your e-mail address.
Of course, that's moot if you have it and no-one to play with, but... whatevs, you know?

So... how many figures would that be, Amber? I'll send money, but only if we can get an idea of how far we have to go.
What are Fluffy's arm/hands doing in the first panel? I can't quite figure it out.
Also- I'm pondering about Lorenda. I guess her high-school days didn't drive in the Demon culture, because she doesn't seem like she wants to prove her worth. And-before anybody says it- her teeny wings were caused by Kria's long-term-sideffecting amulet. I guess her Bull-father was pretty powerful. Thinking back, he was drawn very beefah.
I'll do the calculations to see how many figures that would be. It kind of sounds ridiculous, if I have to estimate....I'd say, err... at least 100. I'll get back to you.

Math- I dids it.
Okay, here is my list of "elligable bachelors and bachelorettes." In other words, the characters I used to come up with the love-child list. It's everybody on the Cast-List except Pip, Fi, Amber, and Fluffy, with the addition of a few notibale extras.
MALE-
Dan
Jyrras
Abel
Pyroduck
Azlan
Biggs
Basement Rat 1
Basement Rat 3
Basement Rat 4
Dark Pegasus
Merlitz
Aniz
Ink
Edward
Devin
Xander
FEMALE-
Mab
Lorenda
Wildy
Alexsi
Kria
Photophie (Basement Rat 2)
Matilda
Aliyka
Regina
Aaryanna
Destania
Hennya
Fa'Lina
May
Hannah
Shannah
Anna
So, The number of Lovechildren when you combine any heterosexual pair ignoring period of life and species compatibility: 272
The number of Lovechildren for any species comaptible heterosexual pair (but ignoring period of life): 211
The number of Lovechildren for any heterosexual or homosexual pair, ignoring period of life and species compatibility: 1089
The number of Lovechildren for any species compatible heterosexual or homosexual pair(again, ignoring period of life): 842
(By the way, When I did species compatibility, I removed Fa'Lina from the list because she is unable to have children, and I did not include Half-Fae "Hollows". Hollows were also not included for the half-breed count.)
Number of Possible Half-Breeds: 37
Number of Possible Undead Types: 15
Incase you're wondering, the cost would be either $8,100 (for hetero,all species plus half-breeds and undeads) $6,575 (hetero, compatible plus half-breeds and undeads), $28,525 (anything goes plus half-breeds and undeads), $22,350 (hetero and homo, compatible plus half-breeds and undeads) $1,300 (half-breeds and undeads), $925 (half-breeds only), $375 (undead only), $7,725 (for hetero, all species plus half-breeds), $6,200 (hetero, compatible plus half-breeds), $28,150 (anything goes plus half-breeds) $21,975 (hetero and homo, compatible plus half-breeds), $7,175 (for hetero,all species plus undeads), $5,650 (hetero, compatible plus undeads), $26,700 (anything goes, plus undeads), $21,425(hetero and homo, compatible plus undeads), $6,800 (for hetero, all species only), $5,275 (hetero, compatible only), $27,225 (anything goes only), $21,050 (hetero and homo, compatible only)
Soooo... Yah.
Come on people. Just use your imagination, lets not kill the kind artist with 211 crack-babies.

Actually that may not be true, cause I remember reading that her clan leader may also be alive but went into hiding after the great war all the 'cubi had before Fa'lina built SAIA. (If she isn't the founder of
her clan). But that's just what I remember
