History Headscratchers / DominicDeegan

* Come to think of it, Dominic's opinions that Callan is a racist and corrupt regime also JustBugsMe. From what little is shown of Callan in the comics, Callan, while far from perfect, is quite tolerant of other races. Orcs and other races are allowed to live there and make a decent living. Melna lives in Callan because she wanted to ''escape'' the brutality of Maltak. Heck, the ''royal seer'' was an Orc. From what we've seen of Maltak, Orcish society is much more brutal, especially to women. And you don't see any Callanians (or any other race) being allowed to live or work there either. One of the tribe's (admittedly one that even the other Orcs don't like) foreign policy boils down to "kill on sight". Yet Dominic holds Orcs in a higher regard than Callanians simply because he's pen pals with an Orc.

*** Dominic's superior Seer abilities probably would allow him to punch right through any "loss of sensation". But I guess we'll not know unless there is ever a character to objects to "protection scroll" use who isn't a CompleteMonster.

*** It's magic, an element that exists within DominicDeegan and not in the real world, so we have no idea how the spell itself might work. Perhaps it works by affecting the man's "magic wand", which could very easily affect sensation. For instance, it could dull the feeling in your special area a bit. As for Dominic not minding, the key factor here is that he loves Luna. Not only does that make him more willing to sacrifice part of the good feelings sex delivers, but some say that sex with someone you love is the best kind.

*** That analogy doesn't really fit Greg's situation. Gregory isn't some guy who's never been in a fight and doesn't have any sort of special powers...even before Super Greg, you ''already knew'' that Greg for all intents and purposes had superpowers via his White Magic, and was experienced in using them. He could fly, give himself super strength, make himself invincible, heal from just about any injury...honestly, he was a superhero in everything but costume and setting. And DominicDeegan has, from the start, basically been an analog to the modern world, only with magic taking the place of technology in a lot of places. So while I can see how it might be jarring and more than a little silly to go into a comic book homage/parody, I still don't see how it's a wall banger. It's a kid with superpowers doing exactly what you'd expect a kid with superpowers to do.\\

** For the same reason fat girls don't just eat healthily and exercise to lose the weight? [[Main/TakeThat Oh, wait, was that too much of a cheap shot for some people?]] </sarcasm>
*** that actually might be a lead on it. It's not unheard of that jealous and cruel mothers will deliberately sabotage an overweight daughter's efforts to lose weight; a similar situation could have been at play with Luna and her mother. Perhaps instilling an irrational fear of alterists in her daughter, so that she wouldn't get her problem corrected and mommy dearest could keep working the "ugly daughter" angle on her.

**** Just to interject: Quilt ''does'' look a lot like a Mongrelperson, just less deformed. People might assume that's what he is, or at least that he spent time in the Wild Edge and was affected by the magic there. Presumably, he doesn't smell like rotting corpses, so if he ''is'' the only flesh golem in existence, most people would probably assume he was something else entirely. Admittedly, people outside of Barthis would probably remark on his appearance, but how often does he get out of town?

*** I think it was to serve as a reminder. The curse was his way of forcing the Callans to remember the war. Also, given the general disdain and even fear that many had towards the Orcs, seeing their own children with the number one defining feature of the Orcish people was probably enough to freak them out.
