Description Avians take easily to dramatic battlecries. Despite their huggable size, as a race Avians are one of the biggest threats to other nations. They have the numbers, strategy, and viciousness to slaughter their enemies in battle, and the beauracratic intelligence to bury their enemies in paperwork afterword. The running joke in the Archipelago is that the only reason the Avians haven't wiped out all competing humanoid races is that they like tall women. They're sort of what you'd get if you combined Aztec bloodlust with French style, with a little Hobbit joie de vivre. I'll just let you sit and try to imagine that combination. Take your time.

That's an interesting combination. By curiosity, what do you mean by "french style" ?

An interest and appreciation in food, fashion, aesthetics and grace.

what is that skull- bird, panel 6?

It's actually called a skull bird. Its 'beak' extends up along and past its face to form a helmet. They make horrible screaming noises and are generally creepy creatures, so some entertainers paint skull patterns on their chests and use them in carnival haunted houses for atmosphere. Kor owns a few which he rents out sometimes.

OK, Kor just got 62.3 times better. And he was super neat to begin with. 10 cool points for you for making him!

It's rather easy to imagine. How is Kor seeing throught that mask?

TheSilverTopHat In reply to krainselfdestructian [2010-10-14 05:22:53 +0000 UTC]

It's made from a thin gauze stretched over a light weight metal frame. From a distance, the mask looks solid, but right on his face the gauze is thin enough for Kor to see through it, though things are a little blurred.

Panel 5 Snow looks just like Prof Screweye from We're Back right before he gets eaten by the crows!

I think that's one of the best compliments Snow's received. Prof Screweye is probably another one of those instances of characters from my childhood slipping into my stories through the back door.

I would like a Kor for Christmas as well. I'm a hobbit, so maybe I should get crazy tall shoes to attract Kor.

Awww, omg look how tiny and cute Kor is. Can't I just take him home and cuddle him forever?

Jeez, how do you make all your characters so awesome? I keep having to add them to my already long list of Arch characters I adore. Kor and Tuff are fighting for first place right now though, lol.

Can't wait to see the next page!

So they're little horny men with wings who like their morning/afternoon/evening/night time tea and eating, a lot (thinking of the hobbits with their ridiculous eating habits) with a severed head as the center piece?? PIP PIP CHEERIO!! -sip sip, pinky out-


A raven against a bazillion other birds... hmmmm, not looking so good for you Snow.
