Witches are an odd lot.
And warlocks are not nessiarily male witches, men have been called witches.

Perhaps it's the language.

In my native language (which I hate). Witch and warlock mean the same thing, only for different genders, so I won't call a man "witch". Sort of habit.

And warlock has a nice ring to it.

Now, this is interesting (uh, to me, 'cause I'm a word nerd).
I bet gamers and other consumers of fantasy stuff have a much richer and more finely differentiated vocabulary for people of a supernatural inclination than the general population. Also probably a measurable amount of difference based on which terms or system of classification you encountered first or used most.

I was quite shocked when, while playing Scrabble, my mom challenged the legitimacy of my word, mage. This is a pretty generic "magic-user" term for me, which can take modifiers (elements or colors, mostly, just off the top of my head).
Mages... do magic stuff. They might be specially trained at an Institution of Higher Learning (or not). They're probably the most "respectable" of all (until they crack). They've got inborn skills. They are too fashionable to wear pointy hats or clothes with cheesy celestial motifs.
Wizards would be less, hmm, glamorous? Maybe less naturally talented, relying more on appropriating items and information from others. Wizard and mage require no gender marking, though while I see mage as a gender-neutral term, wizard definitely conjures up the image of a dude (with a pointy hat, yes).
Sorcerors (and sorceresses, though sorceror can legitimately be female for me) seem shadier, more prone to sneakiness, plotting, and, um, ensorcelling folks for their own purposes (maybe just for kicks). But they're also sexier (the sound of the word, perhaps, plays in here), less inhibited, and have strong personalities. Not necessarily bad or evil--they probably tell morbid jokes, though.
Witches (male or female, though I tend to assign witch to female and warlock to male, though it can be more complex...) are definitely manipulative--not necessarily evil but cunning and possessed of an ability to get things out of people with a little psychological insight. They'd also be more likely to use natural artifacts, have inborn talent, and forgo formal training (maybe an unofficial apprenticeship thing). My witch stereotype makes the whole Harry Potter world feel weird, just for that word choice. WITCHES DON'T USE WANDS, ARGH.
Warlocks could be male witches, but the "war" bit gives 'em a rougher, more aggressive feel (just a male-female stereotype?). Warlocks are sinister, no doubt, and probably brooding blood-drinkers. I'd think a warlock would be pretty close to a necromancer...
Necromancers (non-gendered) come in two flavors: down-and-dirty, warlocky-looking and generally can pass as normal. In both cases, though, there's a vaguely "scientific" bent. They practice necromancy, not just do mysterious creepy shit.

Mmmmmmmmmyeah, I should probably stop now.

Going into etymology warlocks are similar to what vodoo is ascribed to. They dealt with the unsavory black magic. Witches do black and white magic.

Okay, at least I'm not the only one who's noticed this.

There are definitely some anatomical issues (but I guess we can chalk that up to style?), but I feel like the image's dimensions aren't proportioned right.

I'm sorry, I've just been thinking this since the sig first showed up and it's kind of been bugging me.

Mmmmmmmmmyeah, I should probably stop now.
"Mage" is sort of a catch-all term for these types of casters - Wizards earned their magical prowess through intense study and as a factor of their intellect, whereas for a Sorcerer/ess, the concept of magic is a much more natural and innate thing, more related to talent rather than aquired through training.

Witches and Warlocks are (in a very general sense) pretty much just the female and male versions of the same thing, unless you get into specific lores fabricated by game designers and fiction writers and whatnot.

Necromancers, however, are just mages (specifically wizards, in almost all cases) that have an overt and primary focus in necromancy, which would be defined as the school of magic in which lies powers of both life and death (not just death, as many seem to make it out to be). It's not an inherently evil thing; that's really defined in how the tools are used, not the tools themselves.

yes, and even then, thats exceptionally rare.

Undead:
creatures that have died and either A. have been risen, B. controlled like a puppet, or C. are possessed by a demon.

Demon: creatures that do not exist in this world naturally, yet cannot be classified as dead, or machine. Some demons may possess objects or corpses.

In some cases, demons can be created when an object reaches 100 years old. THEY ARE NOT UNDEAD

Yes, yes it is. Neither the undead or demons exist (or are proven to exist) in the first place, so the context is (supposedly) purely fictional. It is entirely rational that someone out there envisioned a world in which undead and demons are one and the same via religion, books, movies, etc. Therefore, it does matter what context you are speaking in. Even if it's something as simple as all undead are demons, but not all demons are undead (just like pitbull is a breed of dog, but not all dogs are pitbulls.)

CrimsomWolf
Apr 17, 2009, 05:19 PM
But most lures seem to be following certain guidelines.

Undead Zombie is Undead, and I've yet to seen somebody calling a Cerberus undead.
Combining zombie and undead is rather problematic, since somehow by definitions, they're either immortal to a degree or simply cease to exist when killed. They're a different type of being. Undead is physical creature in our world that has died, and was (often forcibly) been reanimated back to life.

but that's not how it works. Undead aren't even a subspecies, they are something entirely different. Grr... the subject of demonology is an art, and you sir have just butchered it.

Relatively speaking, an undead is a demon in the same way that a crocodile is a human. They are two entirely different classifications!

Demons

No, but talon is taking his belief in undead and demons as fact, and I'm not. Even in the realms of fictional fact, I still deny his formation of belief. For where is it written that in a roleplay of any sort, his idea of undead, demons, and whatnot is what hold true?

To the first statement: I suppose, but I never said that the undead had to be demons, or any rule regarding any of them. I simply stated that rules and ideas apply to context, and gave an example of such a context that did not match his own.

To the second statement: it's incredibly obvious none of you are using any clear set of rules, but just mish-mashing everything you like together. Mostly mythology, videogames, and anime bullshit (btw, I mean "bullshit" only in conjunction with anime, not mythology or gaming.)

I go by the rules establish by religions for several thousands of years, Christianity, Wiccan, Norse, Celtic, Shinto, Buddhism, and many more.

The media doesn't mean a spit to me with what they believe because their influence with demons hasn't been around long enough.

How to put this... umm... researching the evolution of demons islike researching the evolution of Christianity, none of it can be proven compltely, but it still doesn't all change because one person says it does.

If a TV show says Jesus is a werewolf (which would be perfectly awesome imo), does that over turn the bible? no, of course not

There is never a clear set of rules in a greater scheme of things, fiction or not.

Since there is no "institutionalized" way, we must make one ourselves. It's vain, yes. Arrogant yes. But there isn't much alternative.
Everything must start at some point.
There we go.


I go by the rules establish by religions for several thousands of years, Christianity, Wiccan, Norse, Celtic, Shinto, Buddhism, and many more.

Ohh, I see now. You're one of those angsty teenagers that thinks he knows his religious mythology, despite the many diverging opinions, mixed evidence, several developmental lines, etc. How cute.

angsty: no, teenager: yes, know my religion: not entirely, but if I don't know I take the time to look it up, from several different sources even.

don't make assumptions

You were the one claiming to go by the rules set by so many religions, and so fervently believed in a particular rule earlier without allowing any circumstance of possible falsehood to mire your opinion on the matter. Not I.

rules laid down by different religions and mythologies are laid down by over lapping statements which agree. Obviously if rules contradict, they can't be used.

I have provided evidence for my way of thinking that demons and undead are not the same, provide contradicting evidence. Find an example which does not agree, back it up with several sources, and I'll agree.

For starters, you haven't laid down any sources at all. You claim BS that you know about various religions, which you more than likely don't have an inkling considering the huge development of them over thousands of years, and the muddled opinions and changing beliefs systems, oral and written traditions, etc etc. You have provided nothing in terms of proof. You have only stated where you believe you get your ideas from, but you have no proof of the so called source. It's the equivalent of saying I believe "thugew" is an English word because someone else told me they saw it in some dictionary.

As per my belief? My belief is very similar to what Crimson said earlier.

"There is never a clear set of rules in a greater scheme of things, fiction or not.

Since there is no "institutionalized" way, we must make one ourselves. It's vain, yes. Arrogant yes. But there isn't much alternative.

The main difference being I would substitute "knowledge" for "rule." In the grand scheme of things, none of us know much of anything about anything else on a grand scale. No single human knows all of one subject, you certainly don't know jack about all those religions and whether they overlap or not. Not that it is your fault, you merely can't. There are to many alterations, to many altered documents, to much mud in the water to know any of it with fact. To make such a broad statement over so many religions such as "rules laid down by different religions and mythologies are laid down by over lapping statements which agree," is pure arrogance. You do not, and will not ever, know to what degree those overlap and contradict as a whole. Your "facts," and your idea of demonology as an art form are nothing more than beliefs, which, not being fact, amount to absolutely nothing when trying to pass it off as fact, as you were earlier.

I'm not claiming to know everything about religion. I don't. Frankly, I don't really give a damn about most of it. The only thing I'm saying, is that from what I've seen, and what I've read, a demon and an undead are not the same thing.

This is a waste of time >.> I'm beginning to confuse myself even at this point *sigh*

Wasting time is why I'm here. Seriously. After a few weeks I'll probably disappear. For various reasons I am stuck with little to do in the next month or so of time.

you did not just say that... :disapprove:

the undead and demons are completely different
The lich king is down right demonic.
Sylvanas can be argued but they both use powers exclusive to both. And in WoW undead can be demons. They get reembodied as demons

I don't think he was literally calling them "demons", but demonic in nature. Like a serial killer can be a "demon" but still human.

Since the Lich king was created by the head demon and has some powers that are linked to demons one can call him that. Although he could also be argued to be a diety as well. >_>
