Kirby is totally like a cloud. Coatls = yes! biggrin.gif

And you're just stealing from kelpies now, pff. tongue.gif

Kirby is NOTHING like a cloud. Where do you get such silly idea? Just because he sucks and blows doesn't make him a "cloud" person. He is a star person, and if he resembles anything, it is a PINK ball. Coatls a negative. What about kelpies? I can see now that you didn't spend at least one moment in your infancy on cloud watching... and see how they seem to take shape of things... that is where I got the idea. closedeyes.gif

I always thought it would be cool if the number of dream leechs on water affected the dreams people would have. When the leeches leave a room, it says something like "Having fed on a dream and turned it into a nightmare, a leech moves to the ---". Perhaps more leeches on the water plane could mean more nightmares, and if the leeches were bashed out, you'd only have happy dreams. biggrin.gif
Desdemona2005-03-11 23:42:59
Nice idea.
Shiri2005-03-11 23:53:09
Kirby is totally a cloud person. He lives on the clouds. Don't you read the manuals to these things? Psh.

Coatls are positive.

Besides, kelpies, you mentioned the turning into horses things...well, go look at kelpies under the Inner Sea.
Desdemona2005-03-12 00:00:20
Kirby is not a cloud person. Go search the web, about the making of Kirby, watch the anime, etc. Kirby by no means is a cloud person.

Cloats remain a negative.

Kelpies, I'll take your word for it. But still my idea of cloud people wasn't inspired by 'em, since I haven't seen them. So... tongue.gif
Shiri2005-03-12 00:05:11
Pfff. You should do what you said! (I haven't seen the anime. I WANTED TO. But never could. :cry:)

Coatls are still positive.

And yeah, fair enough, but still. tongue.gif
Desdemona2005-03-12 00:11:38
Kirby is not a cloud. You insult the warp star. Kirby aka puffball aka pink ball, aka Warpstar Knight. Compare Kirby with Meta Knight to get an idea.

Also... newp. Coatls are just poor copies of the magnificent Quetzacoatls. The four/eight winds and their cloud people is better.
Shiri2005-03-12 00:13:28
No, no, the coatls are better.

And kirby is a cloud AND a star. I mean, depending on where you see him. Look at the original kirby, then look at Kirby Superstar. You'll see the difference without much effort, I'm sure.
Desdemona2005-03-12 00:29:52
Kirby is no cloud. Never was a cloud. He only can suck and blow. You should go take a look at the story. Cause Kirby is far from being a cloud. He's a star warrior, therefore linked only to stars.

Coatls are nothing. tongue.gif

Banished into thin air.

Shiri2005-03-12 00:40:58
Good, we're agreed on that last bit then. wink.gif

And pff, he's pink, fluffy, inhales and exhales, flies, and you're telling me that's more of a star than a cloud? Nah. He RIDES a star. biggrin.gif
Desdemona2005-03-12 00:48:28
THE star is Kirby's transportation and similar to life support. Also, clouds DON'T suck and blow nor take the abilities of their enemies. Do you even know the name of the anime in Japanese? Hoshi no Kaabii ("Kirby of the Stars"). Ha!

By the way, I haven't agreed on anything. Unless you are agreeing with me that Coatls are nothing. wink.gif

Cloud people are ok, even soratami if you don't want cloud people....
Shiri2005-03-12 00:57:39
Ooh actually...hmm. Soratami, the sky people, instead of the dodgy Moonfolk interpretation...THAT would be good! biggrin.gif
Desdemona2005-03-12 01:16:06
MTGs soratami are great! I want a soratami+kitsune deck so bad. Anyway, soratami, the moon folk... it would be cool if you could visit Mother Moon and greet the moonfolk tongue.gif

Sooo... the finale is:

Kirby is a star fellow warrior

Soratami/cloud people are the denizens of Air, with the 8 winds as leaders each with a special message epic quest.

Fire will have the Fire Dragons living in Furnance Mountain in Fire with the quest of you guarding/hatching their relic eggs.

Earth will have the earth rockers, people completely made out of rock, that live in underground caverns. Their quest is help them keep on adding to Earth's rock layer as they go to the surface to reproduce by fragmenting into shards making more rock people and adding more earth, while defending them against the gargoyles.

For water, nymphs of course. wink.gif

Oh, and lastly: ents and talking trees inhabiting Ethereal.

I must say, as a group we come up with nice ideas.









Shiri2005-03-12 01:24:21
No no no, you still have it wrong. TREANTS for one.

Nymphs are Fae, not Water. Can't have that. We decided Naga.

Fire we didn't decide on anything, I still say phoenixes. Bug OR bird.

Ethereal - Treant
Water - Naga
Earth - You totally can't call them "Earth Rockers." Just go with golems if you so adore bad names. tongue.gif
Air - Soratami. Only not the Moon ones, since that'd be Ethereal too. They can still have the MTG Soratami personality though, it'd suit the whole thing so well.
Fire - ...maybe Callidora? Actually that's even better than the other ones. Yeah we'll go with that. biggrin.gif
Desdemona2005-03-12 01:34:13
Naga are serpent like. If you don't want Undine Water elemental aka water nymph as Water resident, then the choice is Sirens or mermaids-men.

It is good that we've decided for the earth rockers for Earth, and golems is a no name for them. They aren't artificial! How about... Tectons(inspired by the tectonic plates)?

Ethereal: ents and talking trees. Treants were inspired by ENTs, the original myth is that of talking trees. So Treants stays very short.

Air: Soratami, with the personality of the MTG ones. Good idea. But you are wrong, there is an actual moon. It could be a visiting place, we just need a spaceship.

Callidora, they are like fire lions no? But no... Fire Dragons, Lords of Furnace Mountain.
Shiri2005-03-12 01:42:28
What's wrong with being serpent like? Naga are fine. We already HAVE mermaid people, to an extent. *peer Merian*
Yes, I said golems were a bad name, but the other was even worse. Tectons sounds like those retarded zelda jumping spiders, but yeah that'll do.
No, treants.
There wouldn't be a moon on the air plane. It's a proper elemental plane, not a parallel of the Prime. Skyfolk Soratami.
Hm, I suppose, but the callidora I know are fire mantises. So better them than dragons.
Desdemona2005-03-12 01:58:23
Wrong? Nagas aren't aquatic. If you want a serpent snake then the inhabitants of water could be sea serpents, or even krakens! But prefference is Sirens and merfolk, actual merfolk. Not merians which could be considered as fishmen... but not completely like merfolk that are completely half fish.

So Tecton gets an ok. Soratami skyfolk/cloud people too.

Treants is bark, nothing more. The creatures are the ents.

In the future a space ship will be able to take people to the moon, and there we will meet the 100% moonfolk.

Also, NO FIRE BUGs, unless they are "fire flies". Dragons are ancestral, you being from England how can't you respect the dragon? Bow down to the dragon wizard.gif I can picture Mt. Furnace now, know as Inferno's Pillow. wub.gif
Shiri2005-03-12 02:02:55
Since when weren't Naga aquatic? (And Kraken aren't snakes. Nor, contrary to popular belief, is the Leviathan.) They're fine. Sirens/Merfolk = lame.

Tecton & Soratami = yes.

Okay, fair enough about the spaceship, but it's not gonna happen in Lusternia without being totally lame. (And that assumes there IS a moon. And it's not just a big shiny spirit.)

No, treants. tongue.gif And fireflies (only called pyreflies. But they're still like firefly things, but with the cool name, not like the FFX things) are okay, but Callidora are best. Better than dragons. Dragons are one offs darnit! You can't have like organisations of them! >_<
Desdemona2005-03-12 02:24:00
Naga aren't acuatic since ever. Read your hindu mythology. When I think of Naga I think of desert... and Bleu ( from BoF). Also, I know Kraken isn't a sea serpent. I said krakens could be an alternative for Water folks, but mermaids is best.

The moon could be a normal moon... with a supreme spirit as creator and ruler: Mother moon whom controls the three crones in Ethereal. And a spaceship travel on a fantasy word would be fantastic... Lucidian made expedition... with tinker shops making all weird kind of spaceships.

Ents, Shiri. Treants were 100% inspired by Ents, even the name is basically the same.

Also, Dragons reign supreme. They are the best and could be the rulers of Fire. In fact, they could be Fire Phoenix Dragons... the quest, being of laying their eggs, could be like so... they fly to the place, die and in a burst of flames a flame amber egg is left, with the baby fire phoenix dragon inside... rebirthing.
Shiri2005-03-12 02:26:43
Ehh, Naga are aquatic...they're not always seen in water, but they can be. Krakens couldn't really be a village/anything anyway.
Hm, I still don't like the spaceship thing...but eh. I think a sort of long-range teleport gate or something.
Treants - yeah. It's a better name.
...fire phoenix dragons. Okay that's slightly better, since it's unique. With a new name though, not "phoenix dragons", which is lame.
