FAQ
Hello everyone! This is my FAQ section! If you have a FAQ for me, email me at [email protected] with your question—and name—and I'll answer your question.
As with everything I do, I seem to have the urge to give these longwinded explanations. Anyway, FAQ stands for Frequently Asked Questions.
Q. Yamato is Gourry's older brother, but he's elven and Gourry isn't. How is that possible?
A. If you've ever seen Slayers: The Motion Picture, then you can probably guess that Rowdy is Gourry's ancestor. Rowdy married the elf Mellyroon (that is the crappiest name I have ever heard), and as such they both have elven blood. I think that when there is mixed blood, the result turns out as such in Dryads—if he's a human, he's human, and if he's elven, he's elven. There's no mixing or anything. You can't say that Gourry is part elven even though he's human, or the reverse for his brother. This is just my theory, though, so NO FLAMES!!!
Q. I'm sort of confused about how your fanfic characters—Niriko, Yamato, Kadachi, Chame, Shunozike, and Louie—just popped into the story as if everyone already knew them. It's very confusing!!
A. I apologize for some of the confusion, but, in point of fact, they entered in the three original series. What Heathy-chan and Sammi-chan and I are doing is we're sort of "customizing" the first three series so that our characters are in it. We haven't quite been able to write these out, but we're getting there!
Q. Why does Luna hate her sister so much?
A. Actually, there's a pretty funny story behind that. When they were smaller, Lina showed their entire village a picture of Luna on a sort of overhead projector. Unfortunately...that picture happened to be of Luna in the bath. Now you know the source of the hatred...
Q. What exactly is a chimera?
A. Most people would say a chimera is "someone with blue skin, purple hair, pointy ears and rocks all over their body". Actually...THAT'S THE MOST INACCURATE DESCRIPTION I'VE EVER HEARD!!
Zelgadis is actually only one type of chimera. In point of fact, a chimera is a cross between three races—in Zel's case, an elf, a demon, and a rock-golem.
Q. I've heard rumors that Lina's actually a chimera. Is that true?
A. I can't say for sure. I have heard the same rumors, and that she is specifically a chimera of human, dragon, and mazoku. Interesting mix, no? Anyway, there are many, many rumors floating around, but I wouldn't believe anything solidly.
Q. Is Luna actually Xellos in disguise?
A. ...Again with the rumors! It is entirely possible, since monsters don't have a designated gender and as such can switch between them. Xellos and Luna look remarkably alike. But then, you ask, wouldn't that mean that they're not actually related? Not necessarily. If the above rumor is true, then it's definitely possible. But I don't think that Luna's Xellos, since Luna carries the Soul of Ciephied, and Xellos is the general priest of Zelas.
