Susans vampire spirit/half/mantle/demon actually.
Followed all the time unseen to get her precious (Susan/ Susans Soul/ Body). Took her precious just before she died. Taking her precious and dying was linked together and both were esential for fullfilling the quest.

I love planetary, bit im pretty sure the idea predates both. One thing about Warren Ellis and Jim Butcher is both of them are very good at giving fresh spins to old tropes.
robert heinlien was playing with this one back in the 60s, and im pretty sure he didnt invent it either.
;D

--- Quote from: wyltok on December 17, 2012, 05:27:27 PM ---You're basically suggesting that Outsiders come from a place more stable (for lack of a better term) than the Never Never. Maybe it's my reading of the Ender's Game series of books (and Homestuck)
--- End quote ---
The only real downside of being a Homestuck and also active on this forum is the continual mental snag of remembering which CD one is talking about, I'm finding.
--- Quote ---but I always pictured Outside as being less stable than the Never Never, rather than your current conjecture. I always saw Outside as being those aspects of reality that exist outside of space-time.

Before CD I was inclined to tend in this direction, that they would be sort of chaotic in a Far Realm/Lovecraft/Titans/Chaos and Old Night sort of way. Harry's assertion in CD that all Outsiders are really acting in concert sort of pulls away from that, though. (Though I am not at all sure where Harry gets that idea from or how reliable it is; could equally well be his general conspiracy-theorist tendencies looking for another Theory Of Everything now that the "Black Council" being behind everything is scuppered.)

i suspect the outsiders are something like a divine virus, spreading from and consuming worlds.
