I feel bad for the editor that had/ will have to turn Cio's fanfiction into a proper book. Each revision must have been/will be a bloodbath.

theshim posted:Interesting to see that while Vladok was very male, Yabalchoath is quite female. I guess ebon devils aren't gender-locked. I've gotten the impression that devil gender works like so: Pale: Not enough personality for gender, period Blue: Almost exclusively female Red: Almost exclusively male Green: Largely male Gold: Largely female Black: Too much personality for gender trends

It was only on the nth review of this awesome page that I noticed she has six fingers on her four hands. This is like some kind of fan art challenge.

Something from early on that didn't become apparent to me until a reread: On this page White Chain tells Allison to "give no names and accept no contracts." When I first read it I thought Chain was telling Allison not to tell anyone her name, but in actuality she's being told not to give additional names to any demons and thereby establish a contract with them--as she later does with the demon presently known as Princess.

I wonder if anyone has ever named a devil by just scat singing for five minutes. Like how many names can you give them? Just make a bunch of noise for long enough. Could they ever get rid of them all?

Schwarzwald posted:Something from early on that didn't become apparent to me until a reread: Part of the reason for that is that a human giving a devil a name usually doesn't last that long, because their flame is weak and the devil's flame burns hot. Allison would never have been able to give so many names without the key giving her the power she needed. That sort of thing is probably a good way to get yourself dissolved into formless chaos.

So I guess only Zoss could have done the aformentioned scat-signing naming method I spoke of. still wonder what would happen. Just how small can you make a devil?

Based on the babelfish devils and the engine that runs on devils, I think there's a distinction between big named devils with personality and tiny proto-devils. They're probably just little scoops of black fire stuck in a mask to make it easier to handle.

The least form of devil, the white ones, are actually rather large; upon advancing to blue devils they actually seem to shrink, given the relative sizes we've seen for, well, every example of either. There's some massive size variability among the blue ones, but even the smallest white devil has been larger than the largest blue. The thing with them is, pale devils are not exactly gifted mentally and are only suited for simple tasks, despite being very big and strong. So, giving a devil too many names would eventually not make it any smaller presumably, but it'd still be an unfortunate fate for the recipient.

Cio and Princess are not typical of blue devils; they're both former Ebon devils who are slumming it. The other blues we've seen are basically clever little rats who barely wear clothes.

There's some massive size variability among the blue ones, but even the smallest white devil has been larger than the largest blue. I sort of get the impression that the names are what define them from the total chaos they are originally, giving them form and personality and power but also limitations on what they can do with all that. Hence why they all want to shed names but only the correct way - do it right and most of what they wind up losing is their chains, let their name age too much or something and they're losing all that makes them them.
