Were you ever going to introduce the multi-armed gods of Hinduism? What would they be? If they were going to be Children of Oberon how did you plan to stop the Hindus from boycotting Disney like they boycotted Xena (I think for planning to kill the Hindu gods)?
Greg responds...
Given enough time and episodes, all things would have been included. But I don't currently pretend to have worked out the answers to any of your specific questions.

You said that you were trying to develop a scarecrow character for the Gargoyles Universe so have you finished developing it? Does it resemble Marvel¡¯s Scarecrow character, which is a demon or does it resemble DC¡¯s Scarecrow?
Greg responds...
I'm unfamiliar with Marvel's and I was consciously trying NOT to emulate DC's, a character I'm fond of and have used in a Captain Atom/Batman team-up story.
I have to date, not succeeded in coming up with a satisfactory Scarecrow character for the Gargoyles Universe. Which is a shame, because Gargoyles and scarecrows clearly have a lot in common.

Do the Illuminati know of all immortals(excluding oberon's children) on the Earth? If not do they know over fifty percent of them?
Greg responds...
You gotta love questions that call for percentages, right?
Well, no actually, you don't.

Is Renard still alive in 2001?
Greg responds...
I'm not 100% sure. Certain events between 1997 and the present are in a bit of flux, given that I haven't had a venue for stories.

Why doesn't Nokkar's people know of magic? I mean humans who are probably a younger race than the N'kai figured it out why can't the N'kai?
Greg responds...
Define "know of". Define "figured it out".

The Weird Sisters had Demona and MacBeth steal Coldstone so Goliath wouldn't notice the disappearance of the Eye of Odin, the Phoenix Gate and the Grimorum and so he wouldn't go looking for them, but what I don't understand is why were the Weird Sisters afraid that Goliath would go looking for the talisman? I mean he'd never find them considering that the Sisters would have taken the talismans to the Archmage on Avalon where Goliath could never reach them.
Greg responds...
But Goliath did reach them, so the potential was there.
In fact, one could easily argue that the Archmage's greatest mistake was delaying for Goliath's arrival.

What does Katana look like?
Greg responds...
I have a vague notion, but I'm consciously trying not to design her in my head, so as to give potential artists the freedom to come up with something, someday.

Did you plan to introduce any other Shakespeare plays into the Gargoyles Universe besides MacBeth, Ill Met by Moonlight and the Tempest? What did Oberon, Titania and Puck think of Ill Met by Moonlight? What did Prospero think of the Tempest?
Greg responds...
I assume you mean "A Midsummer Night's Dream"...
Anyway, yes.
I like to think that all were happy enough with Shakespeare's work. But except for Macbeth's reaction, I haven't fully worked out the responses in my mind.

Where is MacBeth in 2198?
Greg responds...
On Earth.

1.What does Alexander Fox Xanatos IV look like? Does he look like the one in Future Tense? Is he married?
2.How powerful is he in magic? Why didn't he use his magic to flee the area when the Space-Spawn came?
Greg responds...
1. Though I'm determined to keep design issues open for the time being, Alex does, in my mind, look much like his adult persona in Future Tense.
1a. Not telling.
2. Enough.
2a. No warning at all. None. He was transported right into stasis.

Were there any Fay casualties of the Oberon and Mab War? If so care to give a ballpark figure?
Greg responds...
As most of you know, I'm not big on quantifying things that haven't been worked out.
But yes, any war has casualties.

Is Osiris dead in 1996? What about Set?
Greg responds...
I'm not just tossing this stuff out to you. What would I have to gain?
Anonymous writes...
If the Oberon's Children are called the Oberite what exactly were Mab's children called?
Greg responds...
The Children of Oberon were never called the "Oberati". That was a behind the scenes suggestion that I made that some combo of Michael/Brynne/Lydia rejected as sounding too much like an Italian sports car.

What Central American wars did Dingo fight in?
Where did Fox get the tattoo?
Greg responds...
1. I'd have to research that.
2. Over her eye.

Will Sphinx and Terry have descendents in 2198?
Greg responds...
Not saying one way or another.
(Do you see how if I admitted anything along these lines, it would ruin a great deal of supsense for these characters in the present?)

How advanced were the New Olympians when they fled to New Olympus? Did they have any tech the Mediterranean world didn¡¯t have? If so what kind of tech?
You said the New Olympians had something better than nuclear tech so what is it? Fusion?
Greg responds...
Well, Talos, at least, was fairly advanced and not common to the 'known world'.
Not saying.
Anonymous writes...
How advanced is the Illuminati¡¯s tech? Beyond Xanatos¡¯s tech? Anywhere close to New Olympian tech?
Greg responds...
There's no across the board answer to this. Different groups will be more advanced in different areas.
Anonymous writes...
Who is older Demona or Nokkar?
Greg responds...
Nokkar, by a considerable amount.
Anonymous writes...
What does 2198 Demona think of Nokkar?
Greg responds...
Well... she likes him marginally better than the Space-Spawn.
Anonymous writes...
Is Merlin and Blanchefleur still around in 2198?
Greg responds...
Not saying.

Will Arthur have any kids in the future?
Who will succeed Arthur as the ruler of New Camelot?
Greg responds...
Did you really think I'd blithely give this away?
Anonymous writes...
1.Does Xanatos know of Mr.Duval's immortality?
2.What about his identity as Sir Percival?
3.In 1996 of the eight arthurian survivors who among them know Percival is Duval?
4.Who else knows Duval's identity as Percival?
Greg responds...
1. Nope.
2. Nope.
3. Two at least. No more than six.
4. I do. You seem too. Anyone else?

You said that in Castle Carbonek time passes differently so my question is how differently? A day in our world is an hour in Carbonek?
Greg responds...
It's not an equation as with Avalon.
Anonymous writes...
What extraordinary properties does Excalibur possess?
Greg responds...
I'm holding on to that as well.

Cuchullain in the legends was capable of turning into his monstrous warped form so is the Rory Cuchullain capable of that feat?
I know you said that Cuchullain was suppose to be your version of Thor, but could you tell us how Rory was turned into Cuchullain since the Spear wasn¡¯t even close in power with Thor¡¯s hammer and the Spear of light in the myths never has such power?
Greg responds...
I'm confident I never said that Cuchullain was supposed to be my version of Thor. If anything, I was concerned that the character was TOO Thor-like.
I've also admitted that I'm not quite familiar enough with the Cuchullain legend. Before I used the character again, I'd get my ducks in a row research-wise.
