For example, Trump (hopefully that word won't derail the discussion) cannot simply declare a new law is in place. He has some options like Executive Orders that give a certain amount of power, but he can't simply write a law stating that, for example, Planned Parenthood is to be shut down. In fact h...

Don't forget that telepathy is a powerful tool, which is why the Loroi don't always use it . Spoken language was and is still used in instances where a Loroi doesn't trust another well enough to allow their minds to connect. So in a setting where tense diplomacy was taking place it's entirely possib...

Probably a combination of "Stillstorm might have me 'accidentally' spaced if I stick around" and "The most important event for decades is going to be happening in the Imperial Court when pinkie gets there, I want in."

There are Loroi males who practice therapeutic skills analogous to massage and chiropractics, and these services are provided in addition to mating... but you can't just bop down to the local clinic and sign up for them. *Loroi pulls off amazing combat maneuver* "Someone's shooting for a breeding t...

You: "They're subhuman"
Creator of the comic and species: "They aren't treated as subhuman"
You: "So you mean they're treated as subhuman"

First, a reminder: a large percentage of the current governments on the real Earth are still military dictatorships, including those of some of the largest and most populous nations on the planet. To assert that this form of government is somehow fundamentally repugnant to humankind seems... insuff...

The Loroi have been using the fact that they are a Soia-derived species WITHOUT a naturally occuring counterpart to claim that they are special. The discovery of a naturally occurring counterpart will be...problematic. Aren't the Barsam not the religious fundies of the Union? I thought the other ra...

I was stunned to read that Beryl is about 14 years old, on a normal lifespan of 400+ This means older generations have been wiped out during the preceding 25 years, and it supports the theory that ‘Loroi are not creative’, having let things come to this. Still it’s not my impression that they simpl...

Tempo as well. With being her in the spook business and everyone knowing it just because of her caste designation I'm pretty sure she'd find real friends and colleagues hard to come boy. True, though with the slight difference of that since that comes from her caste it's the sort of thing that's pr...

I can't imagine Alex considering this social construct being 'good'. And if he's smart he won't consider that remotely relevant. The goal isn't to pick the side of the saints, it's to pick the best side for humans to ally with. Playing the sort of purity politics game that is being pushed in societ...

She's got that "I'm actually a ridiculously high rank and everyone is afraid of me, but you don't know that" aura around her, especially during her first view panels. She obviously has some kind of higher rank decision maker than stillstorm and the implications so far are that storm is basically a ...

Fireblade, Beryl, Talon and Alex all have clear claims on the title for different reasons.

Didn't redhead even plop down next to Alex just like Beryl when there was CLEARLY space for her to sit away from him if she really had a problem with him? http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider072.html Yep! This is what my best friend would call "being crafty"! Sneaky redhead. I enjoy Alex's lo...

That begs many questions that I'll have to retain until we know more about the Loroi. They imply they've optimized their society for war, which would mean reproduction and child rearing would be completely different than what we experience. In a society under a state of total war, maternity leave s...

Second, to convey to him that she has telekinetic abilities it would have been enough to simply arrest his movement (and maybe keep him suspended in the air - that would be quite the show of her abilities!) rather than shoving him back with enough force for bruising or maybe even cracking his skull...

Well, it starts in the elevator. Beryl did play with him the "good elf, bad elf" (Alex's words) spiel, but she still couldn't resist to showcase her little trick. And not in a gentle manner. I believe that at one point Arioch explained the purpose(s) behind that. Fireblade doesn't want to catch Ale...

Fireblade is a bit of an enigma. She is portrayed as the 'lone wolf', and made her disdain towards Alex and the overall situation quite clear. Currently, the feeling is quite mutual (as evidenced with his charming moniker for her) and both seem to be satisfied to not to see each other more than abs...

I don't think Alex seeing Fireblade's psychic silhouette is as much telepathic as a telekinetic fingerprint or after effect, lingering from her attempt to access his mind earlier. That might mean she's keeping a light telekinetic "touch" on him in case she needs to take quick action. I still don't ...

I think Fireblade might have some problems with that.

She'll come around. They always do.
