    Clarify "society". Do you mean things like down below?
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Indeed. Do you mean species, religious beliefs, where on B5 or what?
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    I am...a Technomage.

    Worf
  • I'm with Worf, Technomages are Kreig.

    Or alternatively, make me career military in Earthforce with my own Omega class Destroyer, that would be cool.

    Technomages are bitchin... the power you could have *cackles maniacally*
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    I dont think Id rather be anything than what I am. Perhaps a Minbari Teep Freelancing in earth space?
  • I believe he means which race you would want to be a part of, in which case I would say I would want to be on Earth.

    Agreed. Of all the major planets in the B5 universe, Earth gets off [b]light[/b];

    Narn: Bombarded from space with Mass-Drivers

    Centauri Prime; Bombarded from space by Narn/Drazi fleet

    Minbar: Several major cities heavily damaged through fighting during the civil war.

    Z'Ha'Dum: Capital city nuked by Sheridan, blown up later on.

    I rest my case.

    Well, they are a "[i]proud[/i] race, a [b]strong[/b] race..." ;)

    But you're forgetting that they have a tendancy to hide stuff in the certain "pouch" on their body. Ahem. :rolleyes:

  • Lord RefaLord Refa Creepy, but in a good way
    I'd be a bitchin' downbelover! Yea! That'd I like. yes. Very. Indeed. I'd like to be Jack the Ripper. Yup. How long before they could catch me in Babylon 5? Not long. very long. Indeed. Off to sleep.

    Are you saying that The Cabl3 Guy would prefer to by a [i]female[/i] Drazi? ;)

    Hey, DO female Drazi actually exist? :confused:

    I think they are kinda like dwarf females...
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Nah, Drazi are genderless.

    That's the Pak’ma’ra. I’ve heard the Drazi are genderless, but I don’t think so. The Drazi ambassador certainly seemed rather insulted by Londo's accusations about his wife’s virtue in that Season 5 episode. Though how a Drazi and a Gaim would get it on, I have no idea. Perhaps they used similar, ah, devices as the human woman and the Pak’ma’ra in Eilerson’s ‘special’ video’s in Crusade. ;)

    Its just their encounter suit, I believe.

    Seriously? Bloody hell, what do the Shadows really look like, then? :eek: :shadow1:

    I always thought that what you saw was what you got with them.

    [B]The Vorlons wear the encounter suite. I never heard anything saying the Shadows did??? That is there natural form, remember the flash back to when the Icuarus landed we saw a Shadow then as well. Mantis like being... [/B][/QUOTE]

    Yeah, I'd have to go with Imhotep here, I've never doubted that what we've seen in B5 was their true form. The Vorlons only wear encounter suits because they'd be recognised as various deities through their manipulation of different races over the millennia. (The shadows have no such cause to wear encounter suits.)

  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Another vote for true form here.
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Hmmm, I dont remember where I read it. Perhaps in 'the shadow within'. Ill have a read through it tomorrow, when I get home.

    Thanks Messiah, it'd be good to clear away any doubt either way.

    Your telling me that the mantis like creature the shadow is needs an encounter suit? Well damn it must be pretty butt ugly then i thought the cloak was close enough to an encounter suit though.
  • They are energy beings, like all other firstones.

    Unlike the vorlons however, they appear able to become a physical being at will, and thus:

    Its their form before they became formless energy beings. :)

    my vote:

    Shadow Ship/Vorlon ship. Preferably Shadow because I'd get to see ALOT of stuff blowing up!
  • ShadowDancerShadowDancer When I say, "Why aye, gadgie," in my heart I say, "Och aye, laddie." London, UK
    Id rather be a vorlon, or a vorlon ship because they seem to be much stronger all round. It took 2 centauri guards with pulse rifles to kill a shadow, whereas it took lots of guards to kill the vorlon. The vorlon ships are also tougher and harder to kill than the shadow ships.

    Yeah, but can Vorlon ships [i]carve[/i] Narn Heavy Cruisers in half? The battle at Gorash 7 in TLTS is unbeatable is displaying how awesome Shadows vessels can be in combat.

    I would be a Walker,who can traverse dimensions as easily as walking from one room to another.:D
    The technomage trilogy also points to the fact that shadows can leave their encounter type suits through those 14 points of lights you see.It goes into some detail on how they managed to kill Kosh.
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    I'd have assumed they used their [b]Mighty Shadow Dance of Doom[/b] and trampled him to death. Seems logical enough, at least when you have as many legs as they do.
