Or maybe Alex's non Loroi features (specially lack of telepathy) actually induce an Uncanny Valley effect on the Loroi.rypperdoc wrote:Am I the only one that would like to see the pilot, or the navigator, get a little fresh with Alex? There is the whole issue of mails being rare among the Lori, and the lonely soldier/sailor that's been away from home...
At least until they find out Why an alien species that looks so similar to them is totally Anti-Telepathic.Roeben wrote:I definately think that Loroi are more attractive to humans then humans are to Loroi.
It'd only make sense, we "miss" something extremely important for social development purposes, from their perspective. From our perspective, they are just aloof, telepathic space amazon elves.
The general suspicion is that the Loroi were genetically engineered: several other organisms that share their biochemistry are openly accepted to have been engineered.Keybounce wrote:With that said: The physical similarities between human and loroi is just too high. The likelyhood of that close physical match without a really similar DNA sequence is just too improbable.
We've seen aliens here that are very much alien.
Enough difference to not be compatible? Sure. But "Not even genetically related"? I don't buy it -- "it seems that the biology is similar".

you would be surprised how much Human women wouldnt care about that point. Just think about twilight. something that supposed to be strong but is actually sucking more D*** than blood... and yet.... how the hell did that even get popular....JQBogus wrote:To Human women, Loroi men are built like tween boys.
Twilight's success doesn't revolve around it's 'men' but rather who the female MC is a fantasy of; its whole basis is the standard fairy tail formula where the ordinary little girl is elevated to the center of romantic attention of successful men.Karst45 wrote:you would be surprised how much Human women wouldnt care about that point.

Am not saying it would fit the ideal of every women on earth, but if we are to say around 30-40% Human women would find Loroi male appearance pleasing, i dont thing that would be an exaggerated estimate
I so despises vampires that "don't hurt others". Have some pride, do your job and such blood dammit! Weaklings, that should be kicked from the international vampire community they are.dragoongfa wrote:Change successful men, with nobles or sparklying immortal vampires who don't hurt others and you will get the idea.
It does kind of defeat the whole point of being a vampire. If being superpowered and immortal has no downside, why wouldn't everyone want to join the vampire ranks?Sweforce wrote:I so despises vampires that "don't hurt others".

And it spread. Skyrim have mods that take away the sundamage vampires get when going outside in the daytime. In comparison, in Neverwinter Night 2, when playing a drow I refused to take the "daylight adaption" perk and played with penalties during daytime. Still npc's was way to accepting of a drow player characters. No hostility? No problem at all? A few comments but really the only people even mildly disliking me was evil types. Sorry but for most people in the Forgotten Realms a drow is like a person in full SS uniform in Jerusalem, people will notice that and probably be less then hospitable to such a person. Well the local jail will probably be hospitable.Arioch wrote:It does kind of defeat the whole point of being a vampire.

Few actual readers, + reading like an angsty teenage Livejournal turned into a book (disclaimer: I never managed to make it past the first page, because it seemed very steeped in this) = profit. My sisters figured that it was good that some more people had been induced to actually open a book for once.Karst45 wrote:you would be surprised how much Human women wouldnt care about that point.

Daybreakers show us a world where 95% of the population have turned vampire. Let's just say that the remaining humans that are supposed to provide them with the blood to feed them have it harsh.Karst45 wrote:If everyone is a vampire how do you feed?
as with anything, if there a shortage in important (vital) ressources, people will fight over it.
but in twilight case, it because people dont want to be immortal depressive "emo" you want to end your life but hey! your immortal!
p.s. why oh why did i start a conversation about sparkling vampire....

beauty is in the eye of the beholder! maybe the smallest is most attractive? easier to protectWhat exactly makes Loroi females attracted to their males?
