How much is somebody influenced by their culture and their species and how much can they break away from it?

To use a random example, are all angels dicks? Because I've never met an angel who wasn't one.

[ ... that phrasing. ]

A friend of mine would have you think so, but I like to think that some of us are less so than others.

Though I'll admit there are also those that seem to do their best to prove him right.

[scentofmakai]

You're an angel? I don't know why I didn't expect any to use this thing. Other demons sure, but I didn't really think angels would have the time.

[loyalbound]

The community doesn't seem to care about whether you have time for it or not. I've learned to adapt.

[scentofmakai]

Busy smiting nonbelievers, Mr. Angel?

[loyalbound]

No, actually. It appears you're misinformed.

Excellent question! No, not all angels're dicks. Just most of 'em. But not all. Where I am, I only met one angel that weren't a dick, and she weren't strictly jus' an angel. Here on the community though, only some of 'em are dicks. Really kinda depends what you mean by angel and what their fuckin' problem is, to be honest.

[scentofmakai]

Angels are pretty straightforward in my opinion. Servants of God that carry out His will, which is usually to smite sinners - basically every human, demon, or anyone not an angel. And then say that they have the moral right to do it.

[ninelivesbaby]

Yeah? What if God's dead?

[scentofmakai]

That's pretty hard to do. It can be done for a little while and then He comes back and you wish you hadn't tried. If God was permanently dead, they'd probably freak out.

[ninelivesbaby]

Well, somethin' happened here and he ain't around no more. Maybe he's just missin', but one thing's for certain - Heaven ain't got a king right now. I say right now, 'cause we're all up on the Second Comin' or somethin'. Whatever, shit's messed up. Some people say God don't exist. Some people say God's an angel, or somethin' else...

An' then Chiaki's meant to be the savior. She's the daughter of Michael and some human broad, but they're both gone too. A few people think that God was some kinda angel/human mashup and that's why shit like that ain't allowed to go down, 'cause of the power that's created, and now God's gone, Chiaki's here, nobody don't know any kind of shit. Fuck knows.

I don't know much, but I think every body can break out of their culture's tomb! I mean, two of my good fiends on the fearleading squad are a werewolf and a vampire, and they've been best ghoulfriends for years!

[scentofmakai]

That's good to hear. Lots of demons I know won't get along because of bad history between their races.

[fearleads]

Where I come from, every other school is, what's that word? Segregated. There's a school for werewolves, a school for vampires, a school for zombies, all kinds of things just in our city. But my school is the first to let all kinds of monsters in! They've given us a couple years, maybe a hundred before reviewing...? I don't know, I need to read further in the history text.

[scentofmakai]

That's pretty impressive! Not to sound like an old fogey, but you should be proud of being involved.

[fearleads]

But it's not like I did anything myself. I just go here.

[spiritually]

I don't think all of any species all behave in one specific way.

[scentofmakai]

What about a country? That's close, right?

[spiritually]

Not countries either. There are good and bad individuals in all of those categories.

[scentofmakai]

Weird. Most Jack Frosts are like other Jack Frosts, even if they have individual personalities... I mean, have you ever met a Frost who didn't say 'hee-ho'?

[spiritually]

I've never met a Jack Frost, but saying weird things isn't really a personality trait. That'd be more like a habit.

Angels are pretty terrible. They think that they're the greatest thing ever.

[scentofmakai]

I know. I never met an angel I liked.

[soulfist]

There's always still time. I'm sure they're out there.

[scentofmakai]

Not going to Heaven just to try and find one.

[soulfist]

It would be a waste of time.
