    When all 4 are there at once, I think it's more like Parent of Parent, Other Parent of Parent, Parent or Other Parent, and Other Parent of Other Parent.

    Perhaps.

    You guys like these updates? Or the new character? She's the one I'm a bit nervous about; remember what I said earlier about how each character has a teeny-tiny piece of you in them? Well, she may possibly have the most of me, and I'm a bit worried because that's how Mary-Sue characters are born...

    Also, it's just Grandparent and Other Grandparent. Her human grandparents are dead.

    Well, honestly, Coffee, it takes some really bad writing (or intentionally bad writing) to reveal a character has strong Mary Sue tendencies in such a short space of time. No writing that bad has been transgressed in the past few comics, so the new character is still rather ambiguous. If you're worried about her, keep an eye on her and we will too, but, at the moment, you're the only one who knows enough about this character to make an accurate and thorough evaluation of her.
    That's what she said.

    you could probibly avoid the whole mary-sue thing by either

    A: letting her get beat up by bad guys once in awhile, or

    B: let her kick sticky rear-end and not cower behind tinder all the time.

    Yeah, but remember that one of her parents is human, which may imply a clear gender identity. (Or not. Look at albis from the LGBTitP thread.)

    Maybe that's why her gender is disinguishable.
    I guess Grandparent and Other granparent are the elven ones then.
    (Or not. Look at albis from the LGBTitP thread.)
    The alternative is that her human parent is even more adrogynous than the elven one.

    I've noticed quite a bit of off topic and spam this week; I'd like to remind everyone that this thread already got a warning because for such offenses and that it's very likely that it'll be locked if they continue on such a regular basis. So if you care about this comic, please stay on topic. Thanks.

    I feel we'll see this Lord Byron in the future.

    Also, "There is now a Level Zero." isn't necessarily a Kung Fu Panda reference. It's not exactly a difficult quip to come up with given the correct circumstances - such as Matt's ground-shattering failure.

    Genki If There Ever Was One
    I wonder how Remus and Fir will get along. There's not much stereotype in the comic, so I doubt they'll be at each other's throats. Remus's size makes him a better riding dog for Fir than for Radic, for example.

    Ad Campaign
    Radic's father has much knowledge of the dealings of Tinder's parents and their effects, hinting towards either working for the watch, the administration or as a merchant. Seeing's Radic's skills with advertizement, chances are it's the last one.

    Also, "Genki Girl" decided it was a good idea to surprise, in the most "OHMYGODIT'SASURPRISEATTACK!" way possible, a group of complete strangers who could have been, for all she knew, a bunch of murderous psychopaths who torture teenagers for fun in their spare time?

    She has a negative Wis modifier, hasn't she?

    Ooh, that would be funny. Fir likes to stay around halfie's head though, because Fir's a familiar.

    Fir has a higher Wisdom score than she does. (It's not as low as Matt's, but it's close.)

    I have a friend who walked around with her long-haired cat like a fur boa. One day she caught a young, very obviously vegan (she had about thirty pins), staring at her with hatred in her eyes. Until the boa's tail suddenly started twitching...

    You're welcome.

    He's been mentioned by name by none other than the first main character, who appears to know him. Byron's dramatically forbidden not to appear in the comic.

    You see Fir? Her cat familiar?
    Fir has a higher Wisdom score than she does. (It's not as low as Matt's, but it's close.)
    Cats have 12 Wis... But it's closer to Matt's than to the cat's. Ouch.

    As if Matt didn't give the party enough headaches.

    It'd be funny if one of ML's many encounters started this way.

    Fir: *is curled up in a ball asleep on Half-Elf Chick's head*

    Random but Powerful Vegan or Equivalent: Is that a fur hat?!

    Half-Elf Chick: *giggle* Well, yes, in a manner of speaking. More like a Fir hat...

    Also, there are some elves whose gender you can clearly identify, if only a few.
