General Q and A

People have brought that up before in regards to nagas. So far, the general consensus has been that they lack that particular snake trait. No one wants a 1000ft tall Crisis =P

god forbid we let Vivian continue growing. 1000ft tall Vivian would be a BIGGER problem in my eyes... a 1000ft tall Crisis would just be a hungry blond on a growth spurt. a 1000ft tall vivian would be felarya's first steam roller with scales. God forbid she ever learns how to trip

I've always thought that demons just 'do their job', which can be pretty nasty, given they're in the worst working conditions the can have: being in Hell. And those who can stay a bit out of it, they tend to be mischievous, curious or evil, but not always all of them at the same time. Same goes for Succubi.

I ran on the same assumption, but I always thought that Succubi were more pampered in Hell than anything. All they really have to do is eat, and eat they do. As for a surfaced Succubi, I put one word out to explain their less than preferred actions, "Boredom". That's really the only word I've really been able to use for a succubus on a rampage in felarya, they're bored and have all the time in the world to do whatever.

Sure, boredom can fuel a succubus' actions, no one will deny it - but even though they enjoy lust and eating, Hell doesn't have the best working conditions.

And about being in Felarya... Well, I wouldn't say they have "all the time of the world". According to the wiki, succubi can't stay too long in the physical world, since it requires a lot of energy from them to stay in this plane, and if you banish a demon, it means they can't take a physical form in the mortals' world(s):

Quote :

Angels and Demons are not capable of existing in physical realms in the same state they exist in their own realm. For example, upon travelling to Felarya, a Demon has to actually change its state to be able to maintain a presence in that realm. This takes a great deal of energy, and is a constant drain on the Angel or Demon; they are not naturally part of Felarya's plane of existence, and the world rejects their presence. This is why Angels and Demons often only come to Felarya for limited periods of time; it is difficult for them to maintain a physical presence there, the same way it is difficult for a human to keep a muscle tensed for very long periods of time. "Banishing" an Angel or Demon is basically a matter of making it too difficult for them to maintain a physical form, which results in them being ejected back to their natural realm.

Taken from the wiki entry referred to Heaven and Hell, if we can trust Talbeln Veridimus' words.

Also, Succubi in Hell don't do nothing but eat all day. According to Arale's bio, this is the bottom or close to the bottom of social ranks for Succubi.

sue me, minor misses.

New question, I've heard mermaids are able to leave the water and move around on land for short times, does someone know how long that short time would be?

That's just me, but I think that theoretically, a Mermaid could live indefinitely on land, but doesn't because they can only move by flopping around like fish, which would leave them extremely vulnerable to predators.

If Felarya is a "dimensional plane" and not a planet, how come it gets colder as you go north? I thought Felarya didn't have an equator.

a mermaid could probably stay out of water for an unlimited amount of time as long as they don't dry

As for the cold north.... it's pure coincidence ^^;
I know Imoreith tundra and iceclad sea are situated to the north but it's due to me inconsciously placing them here.

Yappari, I felt there some was confusion about Felarya. I thought Felarya was a plane, but some believe it to be a planet. The question came up in regards to time and the seasons.

I suggested, since Felarya was not a planet... wait, I'll find my exact thoughts.

How about we have a living embodiment, similar to Elementals? I'm not well versed in Felarya yet. I've still got much to study. But it seems to me that a Guardian of Time is reasonable. This Guardian would oversee the passage of night, day, and the four seasons...

In addition, since time and space are definately intertwined...The Guardian also serves as an anchor that keeps Felarya from slipping out of the delicate balance of spacetime that it hangs in. Obviously, Felarya lies in a very volatile niche in the multiverse which makes the Guardian's task extraordinarily demanding.Just a thought.

Ok, that was my opinion based on Felarya NOT being a planet. I've been told different. So is it, or not?

Edit: Ok, it is a plane. So how is there night and day?

Edit 2: Maybe Felarya is like a giant snow globe and the world ends at the ionosphere. The actual sky (being the sun, moon, and stars) could be from another world. Sort of like looking up through a glass dome with another world on the other side.

Note here guys; We've had a huge discussion on seasons.
Don't try to answer this here. We have our science people working this out.

But yeah, Felarya is a plane. There are no real seasons, only regional differences.

Or dimensional disturbances with Bael's idea of Pocket Dimensional Storms, which is why I love this idea: with an idea like this, the sky's the limit for coming with plot devices!

Has anyone figured out how mail/messages/etc gets around felarya? I was asking this because a while back I had an idea for a more friendly giant/ess with a pair of wings running mail from town to city to wherever else. I slightly recall being told that mail was sent out another way. Of course though I honestly doubt it's by specific routes, because preds would obviously prove to be a problem.

btw, just in case this hasn't really been figured out. The mailman idea was my idea. Don't steal it I'm working on it still.

An underground network of tunnels would get the job done.

My view: The Postfairy! The TRUE hero of the Felaryan people!

It doesn't there is no conventional public mail service. Nor will there be.

That's just as dangerous as above ground.

Lol, God bless Felarya.

I... actually put a postman in one of my stories, but it was just an extra.

I mentioned something of a post office once in a story, but it was a little mention and knowing how Felarya it is, do you think it will ever prosper? Mailing will be ruined in no time!

that's why I had been working on a mail system, Considering the risks of land travel, that's why I also have been putting together a character that could fit the bill. Originally back in the day it was going to be a male creature Identical to a harpy, but everyone shot him down before I finished him, so that obviously won't work. which seems to happen a hell of a lot here. if it doesn't have breasts it must be destroyed... lol

So I came to a thought of a possible "AngelAir" mail service. We've got the girls for the job, and I had been working out how it would work. Looks like we're going to need some stamps made xD

I'm actually working on something that will fill the postal role as well as a few other things.
I've practically finished it, just need to polish it a bit then I'll post the idea.

....sure you were...

...I'll just go away now...

Maybe it wasn't the fact he was a male, maybe it just wasn't a good idea. Stuff happens. Go back to the drawing board.

Trust me, I know alot about bad ideas
(^-^)v

Getting offtopic here. If you want to continue that discussion, please take it to pms or something else.
Next question please.

Do Nekos have little stamina like great cats and usually save it by hiding instead of running, and ambushing preys with a strong pounce out of a hiding spot.

This is what I imagine and hope to be true.
I proposed it in the Elves vs Nekos thread and I didn't receive a straight answer.

Who or what has the power to turn a man into a giant? (Besides a Guardian). I'm a little stuck here in my story development.
