I still dunno what clan I'd be in :<

This is adorable :3

I'd be in clan Kish'ta, because I love the macabre and disturbing people with beautiful, horrible things

my icy little dried up heart cannot handle such cuteness.

dang jin's clan is just adorability central

Gotta say, Jin's clan is possibly one of my favorites. Mostly because I really enjoy characters that are healers, whether it's a shamanic/herbal style of healing or a magic healing. Plus she just seems so easy to get along with. =3

That finished up so amazing. I think the size difference between them is perfect.

Just wow..He's going to LOVE this..

Gentle macros FTW

i was unaware designing characters for the cubi clans was allowed O_o

I don't mind. In a lot of cases I don't really acknowledge/disacknowledge any as canon...but I certainly don't mind if people want to make personal characters and stick them all over the place. XD

oh yay! heheheheheheh..... Kish'ta is certainly tempting~ course if minn suddenly gets cubi-fied he'd probably be a Zezzuva, he already has a twin -3-

My skype icon is the Nact'Larn cubi emblem >.>.....

cool! ^^

Not to mention my OC Devon was inspired by one of Mab's adorable imp Lillithin. Amber is whats got me into furreh ^^ And furcadia, and roleplaying... o.o

Same with me. Over 10 years now!

Yeah, one thing I forgot to mention last night is that in 2005, when the SAIA arc began there was a mass wave of folk on the DMFA forum creating 'Cubi characters. I imagine that if she had a problem with it it would likely have petered out pretty quickly at that point.

part of me is like - I wanna make a cubi yay! Then I think about it and I'm like.. I'd pobably end up a warp-aci

The way I see it, it's a bit of a risk. There are a couple of people who put themselves in Cyra Clan - before it was revealed that it consisted entirely of Dan and his psycho mother. Jin was one of the ones I figured was dodgy since there are only 8 (9..?) members and knowing Mab she's probably designed them all.

Usually it's better, if you're going with a 'Cubi character to create an obscure minor clan of your own since there seem to be umpteen of those.

That said, I did eventually break down and create about four custom Taun members for a project of my own, but there are approximately 387 of them so it seemed like a relatively safe bet. If Mab sat down and designed every single Taun member, she needs help.

:P

eh, i figured doing such a thing would be a bit of a faux pas, and Jin, while tempting, is low numbered as you said, so i'd probably do something else anyway :3 but inventing my own? ... sounds risky :P

Yeah, there's always a risk writing for someone else's universe.

As I understand it there are lots and lots of small obscure clans, so adding a few here and there wouldn't matter. After all, if there are approximately 30'000 'Cubi and only 11 Tri-winged clans with, say, 1500 living members between them, that gives you a heck of a lot of leeway to create a custom clan with say 50 people in it and no leader.

Amusingly, Jakob was originally designed to be a member of a clan that was ignored and snubbed owing to their chief being extremely eccentric. The idea was that that would give him a measure of "Daryil Clan? Who are they...?", and make him at least plausibly canon. And that seems to have worked out pretty well.

What really breaks things is adding a clan with a tri-winged leader like Jin, Cyra etc. With a little fancy footwork you can work around that - in the case of Sunblink's Jyraneth clan, Amber left enough loopholes for us to have her missing and presumed dead without obviously breaking canon compatibility. On the other hand it gets a bit suspicious if everyone uses that ploy.
With Daryil, I had him as a normal 'Cubi with ambitions of becoming tri-winged. I'm still not 100% sure that having him actually achieve that in the post-canon future was a good idea, but people who read my comic seem to like it, and Amber hasn't yet come after me with a broken bottle so it can't be going so badly.

your comic??? might i have a link? =3

I'm the writer and colourist, the original artist was  siegfriednox but he had to quit about a year ago. Since then,  merlin-the-bruce has been drawing it. It's supposedly set 150 years after DMFA, but is based around original characters.

This was where my own affiliation became a stumbling point; I decided on this before the true numbers of Siar's clan were made known, though nothing paradoxical was revealed in canon..

Going with an obscure, non canon mini clan was what we went with when  rocroldis and I were brainstorming up Stargazer/Ewan's clan. The clan leader we came up with is Agrafina, a female eurasian red squirrel, and adrenaline junkie. The name roughly translates to "Feet First"

Well, at the time, Siar was a fairly obscure clan, or at the least, not relevant to the main storyline..As of right now though, whatever happens to Abel, there will always be one of us in canon, though the reader will be unaware of this..

As for colors, Jin's are very subtle, and compliment Shax's well..Mab really hit a perfect balance of details on the macro/ micro theme

Heh. My excuse for making Shax part of Jin is because of his color scheme already. I had the colored designed LONG before I decided to make him part of Jin. After a good long time (Hence why it took me three months to develop him) I gave in and just threw him into Jin clan due to the colors.

I haven't seen any fan character before for Jin clan, and only ever seen Mink as an official character. So I thought it would be alright to place him there.

I do feel a bit bad though. I actually had several people on Furcadia or Second Life try to make their own Cubi because of me just for the sake of being a Cubi. They don't do any research into the race, DMFA universe, clans, or the Cubi powers. I even had some people get pissy at me for telling them its imposable to be part of Fa'Lina's clan... *Headdesks*

At least if you look at Shax's backstory I had his father (Who was a Jin clan Cubi) killed off to try and maintain the number of Jin clan Cubi.

"I even had some people get pissy at me for telling them its imposable to be part of Fa'Lina's clan... *Headdesks*"

… wooooooooooooooooooooooooow

Still, that's not as bad as the people who ship Sora/Riku without ever having played the games.

i like working with canon to, to an extend, and admittedly i try to bend the rules a little where i can, because as with everything there are exceptions to the rules. with something like clan numbers though, especially with those established in canon, there's no wiggle room X3

good job on him, i've seen him for a while and i really like his design!

Oh gawd, that used to tick me off on FurC..We became trendy o.O

D'awwww.

My cubi character is in Clan Daryil.

You did a good job despite the difficulty of macro to micro.

Heheh, this is cute. You did a good job with Shax's character… and what is it with Clan leaders wanting to be so big?

Bigger is totally better. It's just true~

I don't think it's a matter of wanting...

True, but Fa'Lina doesn't seem to have a problem keeping her size manageable. With the exception of her bristols, of course.

Yeah, they're just naturally huge. When they appear as normal size it's either because they've used some kind of shapeshifting trick to assume a more manageable size, or it's an avatar - a construct they've created to project their will and they're not physically present.

Aww they look so adorable spending time together :3 Good quality family time with your great grandma who's 20 times your size XD

Hehehe~ Thanks again Mab! I love it! <3 It was well worth the wait~

D'awww... that's adorable :)

This is a wonderfully adorable picture.

Heh, you can tell he's a smooth dude from that expression...

Dude, thats my grandmother ._.

And yet, on the internet, someone will ship it…

Awww this is so sweet ^^

asdghasfgha adorabilly overload

Oh my squee, this is adorable! Though Shax doesn't look particularly pastel...

He got some of his colors from his mother, who was a being.

And I forgot to say, this is pretty awesome.

I don't think Jin looks washed out at all, you compensated for her size well by adding extra detail to the fur and hair :) I especially like the texture on her nose. So cute!

I wouldn't be in a clan since I'm an angel. Bwahaha! Still sucks though that they are dieing out. I'll really have to pump the kids out and fix that, won't I? ;3

And like an idiot, I posted too soon. It's great to see the extra detail when we see someone that huge. It's also incredibly cute! Faved!

The ttle of this pic accurately describes how I feel about it! It is adorable!
