Have you ever read the novel’s behind “Vampire Hunter D” ? The world during this period would be very similar, I’d imagine. Humans mostly just cattle or slaves for the undead, with only a handful of powerful champions able to defend them. Will Dampeals ever have a roll in all this? I can see someone like D founding the Endless.

their could have been some that looked like dragons and other fictitious/ mythic species as well.

@Josh.C: I guess they’re all Celeste, in the end. And if the Purebreds are so rare, it’s almost not worth the time to include the distinction for the majority. 😛

I’m really curious about what the other Purebreds looked like; whether or not they all looked like Rei. If we’re guessing that the Purebreds were the fictional inspiration for the sphynx, maybe there were Purebreds that looked humanoid enough (bipedal) to be the fictional inspiration for angels long before the Hybrids. Or maybe ancient humans just reinterpreted everything as looking like a human. xD

@Sulucamas: I was thinking more along, if Rei is what most Purebred look like. Then depending on the religion the Endless cult are built off of, they might view the Hybrids closely to Angel’s.

But the Sphinx that Rei looks like, has a checkered history of being a holly protector and then being a evil demon beast in Greek mythology. So if the Hybrids are power hungry enough and depending how the Endless saw the purebreds, it could get rather bad for Rei.

I mean, when we talk about Celeste Hybrids now, all you here about is the Celeste and not Celeste hybrids.

@Josh.C: Blasphemy as in “you shouldn’t treat them like gods instead of us?” That seems to be where they’ve ended up, but maybe Rei’s a rare case. 😕

@hariman: Ya wonder if there might be some good stories to be had there… 🙂

@e_voyager: Perhaps the war did the same thing to their technology as it did to the Purebreds? 😉

“Order. Power. Control.”
Glowing pink eyes!

Meanwhile. I’m curious how much Jig’ is glossing over for the sake of understanding/time? Remember, her audience is trending relatively young. The kids probably understand death and violence (that “I miss mommy” still gets to me), but advanced politics? maybe not so much…

Why are the MiB pimp-tastic? It’s the clothes, right? the sexy dig the clothes…

endless sprang from earth during the war with the Celeste. Earth’s tech also wasn’t that far behind the Celeste to begin with.

For those wondering why the hybrid Celeste had so much trouble with the revealed to be not extinct vampires:

Knowing what you’re fighting and how to deal with them individually means nothing if they’ve had years to build up several armies worth of vampires.

Remember, Earth only survived the assault by the Endless/Celeste because Earth had an unexpected horde of Dead Inside and a decent bit of luck.

@Sulucamas: Of coarse the Endless being called a cult means that the treatment the Purebred Celeste are receiving would possibly be blasphemy in the Endless’s eyes.

Cause and effect sometimes does not paint a flattering view of some people when you apply it to someone. Of coarse we don’t really know if this would be the case. But……
