Q: What is Vegabond?
![Dupe](SPEECH/Dupe 5LA.png)
Vegabond is a multimedia sci-fi webcomic that takes place in a heavily stylized, alternate version of our own solar system.

Q: Wait, who are you?
![Dupe](SPEECH/Dupe 5LA.png)
Don't you see the nametag? I'm Dupe, the custodian of this webzone and the guy responsible for bringing the universe of Vegabond to YOU!!

Q: Don't you mean "Vagabond"?
![Dupe](SPEECH/Dupe 5LA.png)
It's a pun, Vega=Star Vagabond=Homeless. So it's all about space travellers who don't have a home planet.

Q: Ok, so how does it work?
![Dupe](SPEECH/Dupe 5LA.png)
Vegabond is a "Quest" style webcomic, meaning that it updates panel by panel. Eventually the story will progress with the aid of user comments but as of now we have yet to make first contact.

Q: How often does it update?
![Dupe](SPEECH/Dupe 5LA.png)
Updates are posted on even numbered days. Usually once or twice a week.

Q: Why aren't there comments yet?
![Dupe](SPEECH/Dupe 5LA.png)
Much like how we don't see dialogue in the comic until we gain access to a translator, comments won't be present until we find a method of contacting the characters. It might take a little while.

Q: How pre-planned is the plot?
![Dupe](SPEECH/Dupe 5LA.png)
I like quest comics but they often lack structure and have unsatisfying conclusions IMO. Vegabond's story has several moments that are predetermined, but with branching paths and many audience driven sections in between.

Q: I'm having trouble viewing a new page.
![Dupe](SPEECH/Dupe 5LA.png)
An issue I haven't ironed out is that sometimes browsers (mostly Google Chrome) have trouble keeping my site up to date. To solve this just clear your cache or view the site in a private/incognito window.

Q: Are all these really "frequently asked"?
![Dupe](SPEECH/Dupe 5LA.png)
No, but if someday someone asks a question I can look cool by directing them to my official FAQ page. I also had space to fill on that little row of buttons at the top of the screen.

Q: Who are the Vegabonds?
![Dupe](SPEECH/Dupe 5LA.png)
A conflict between two opposite factions has consumed and divided the entire universe. Anyone unaligned with these factions is stuck in space without a home planet. These wayward weirdos are the Vegabonds.

Q: What are the two factions?
![Dupe](SPEECH/Dupe 5LA.png)
The two dominant factions are the Inverse and the Obverse. The Inverse are mechanical utilitarians obsessed with efficiency and technology. The Obverse are religious naturalists devoted to biological engineering.

Q: What is the goal of the Vegabonds?
![Dupe](SPEECH/Dupe 5LA.png)
The Vegabonds are equalizers trying to perpetuate the stalemate between the two factions. If one faction ever overpowered the other, the entire universe would be assimilated, Vegabonds included.

Q: Where can I learn more?
![Dupe](SPEECH/Dupe 5LA.png)
As the story progresses and we meet new characters and explore new environments, a database will be kept documenting all these things. You can keep track of it all by clicking the database button at the top of the screen.
![Space](UI/dialogue small.png)
Q: I just checked and nothing is there.
![Dupe](SPEECH/Dupe 5LA.png)
The story just started, there's not much to document. Expect to see more additions to the database after we've discovered more locations.
