Murphy's Law 5: To Comic 100...And Beyond!

[RdMarquis]

Cool. Well, not Lord Byron dying, though it was a very interesting development. Now I can't wait to see what happens next. Rust could be trying to take over Kago, but what if his goal is to cause fighting over who rules the country? Slaughter of the Plavaan aside, the soldiers and paladins of Kago would still consider evil beings their mortal enemies. A destabilized country could provide plenty of opportunities for Rust and his kind to wreak havoc.

By the way, do you plan on covering the adventures of Serrin's parents at any point? They must have accomplished some incredible things if they're known across the planes.

I've just noticed that the outer spikes in Rust's hairdo look a bit like devil horns.

And, yes, you're right, we really need to update the TV Tropes page.

And the links to the comic through the tropes? Please? I don't mean to be rude.

Oh, you'll see! And it's not so much Serrin's parents as the entire Peakane line. Also remember that Rust was alive at one point (Well, he says he was.)

[Tulio d Bard]

I'm considering some kind of "God is Dead" thing here... but where would Astrid's clerics receive their powers from?

Also, nice update. I like how in the second to last panel it looks like Byron is grasping the bed sheet. Although I doubt that's what those lines mean.

Am I against myself today?

[Silverraptor]

Knew it.
So Serrin's family is well known, even on the planes, for their skill with magic? That's impressive, to say the least.

Ya. But Lucrid getting into that family did provide some tension amoung certain family members. (From both sides)

[Lix Lorn]

Intriguing. Elven supremecists?

[HalfTangible]

Intriguing. Elven supremecists?

Why? Just because the Peakanes are awesome doesn't mean they're supremecists =/

[Lix Lorn]

Just a potential reason why they wouldn't like Lucrid getting in...

Also I'm sure I spelt it wrong... Supremacist, maybe?

The lines are both him grasping the bedsheet and the wrinkles from him lying under the covers.

Its...Harry Potter provides a excellent analogy here. The Peakanes are like an extremely ancient pureblood family, like the Weaselys, Malfoys, or Diggorys. Lucrid, as a human from a common background, is like a muggleborn.

The majority of Serrin's family is like the Weaselys, very friendly and accepting, and didn't mind that Saphrin (Equivalent to a pureblood) married Lucrid (Equivalent to a muggleborn). But you've always got a few Malfoys in every family. However, Lucrid won most of them over by doing extensive research on the elven marriage rites, and by readily agreeing to take the Peakane name (Which he would have had to do regardless; in most cultures in Aequar, last names are taken based off of status more than gender. If Radic Quilla and Matt Silver got married, it would most likely be Matt Quilla, not Radic Silver, since Radic has such a higher status than Matt does.) Serrin will fill you guys in later.

Also, speaking of Radic and Matt, I figured out their middle names. Well, I already told you Matt's, so here's Radic's. The full names: Radic Voytek Quilla and Matthew Reed Silver.

Voytek?

[Lix Lorn]

OIC.
...
Although the Weasleys aren't even nearly pure-blood. And the Diggory's Might be but it's never said. The Black family are.[/Potternerd]

The Weasleys are mostly pureblood, but are quite poor. It's heavily implied that the Diggorys are pureblood. Actually, the Blacks are a better example, but with a lot more nice Peakanes than mean Peakanes.

Look, I just got back from dinner and I'm stuffed on porterhouse steak!

[Lix Lorn]

But the Weasleys don't care about pure blood at all. Even slightly. And when is it hinted?

...sorry. xD

[Silverraptor]

Well, in any case, tensions are still there. I won't get into specifics because I don't know if Coffee is going to elaborate on it at all in the comic. Also, I don't know how much of my background of Lucrid's family she's going to put in her comic either.

Could you pm me what you do have planned in the story and what might be maybe ideas?

[HalfTangible]

No, but it's stated multiple times that the weasleys are pure blood, and in fact i think the malfoys state they are a disgrace to purebloods.

[leakingpen]

What about his eyes?

And, that shows that he DOES think that whats being done is wrong and evil.
(he just might like it that way. Like Trebec's mother)

[Lycan 01]

Pretty sure this is right. I'm certain I recall Lucious Malfoy talking about how the Weasley's are pure-bloods but are essentially a disgrace to the ideal, since they like muggles and muggle culture, plus they're poor as dirt.

Ron actually state that he has exactly one member of his family who is not a wizard As early as Philosopher's Stone, and that thet Don't talk much about him. Potterfanboy, Away!

[half-halfling]

Also remember that Rust was alive at one point (Well, he says he was.)

Maybe Rust was hit with a piano by a member of Peakane family at some point in the past ?

[Draconi Redfir]

not 100% sure, but is it still considered a pureblood family if someone who was barried in was a halfblood or a mugleborn? like if Ron's mom was a halfblood/muggleborn, the "weaslys" would be considered a pure blood family right? (i mean harrys mom is a mudblood and evryone calls him a pure blood)


... hope Coffie is ok with so much harry potter talk. if not we should probably go back to the comic

[HalfTangible]

Er, no, it's stated that harry is half-blood. (In chamber of secrets)

"Both half-bloods, orphans, raised by muggles"

No, Harry is considered a halfblood. It's actually quite disturbing when you think about it. One single drop of muggle/muggleborn/halfblood blood...

And yes, please go back to the comic. Update Friday. I'm sure you all want to know where this is headed!

[Draconi Redfir]

h'uh. odd, since both Harrys parents were wizards.

But ANYWAY! Back to the world of coffieverse, we now know that this "angel" is obviously not one, and is actively trying to promote the slaughter of the plaveen for reasons unknown. Is he merely trying to spread the word of evil? Attempt to pit the mortal races against one another soas to weaken them before a demonic invasion? Kill off the Plavien gods via killing their worshipers? SOMETHING is going on here, and Astrid herself seems to be unable to help. is she imprisoned? Drugged? Or merely not paying attention and still mourning?

[Lix Lorn]

Not necessarily!
He could just be a fallen/evil angel.

[HalfTangible]

You do know that fallen/evil angels are thereafter called 'devils'... right?

Heads up to Coffee and everyone who uses Inkscape. Cealocanth (sp?) made a thread in General Discussion that he got a virus from it. Apparently it hid in the Inkscape files and deleted a bunch of stuff off his computer, or something like that, and he had to use a system restore to fix it. Just thought I'd give a heads up...

Maybe that's technically correct, but in d&d and similar, evil angels are just that.

I'm going by DnD >.> When an angel falls, it becomes a devil.

Oh crap.

But I did a virus scan a couple months ago and it came up clean...

Also, here's some more food for thought: How do you think Alexis, Miles, and Lexington will take this development?

[Mystic Muse]

I suggest backing up your files anyway. Better safe than sorry.

Not Necessarily. There's an angel in elder evils who fell, but didn't become a devil. Although, I think he was the exception to the rule.

maybe you should do annother virus scan just in case. it might have come in only recently.

and no idea.

If they ever get a virus on my computer, all they will see is a couple essay's from college and a whole lot of steam games that I can redownload instantly if anything happens to them. No personal information is on here at all.
