I don't think any are robots. Tom said one is not "100% Biologically human" If Eglamore had his arm cut off in some great war or something, and it was replaced with a mechanical arm, I would not consider him 100% human. (note: I don't actually think Eglamore has had his arm cut off, it was just the first example I thought of.)

Someone mentioned roma blood a couple of posts back, I missed this?

This conversation makes me want to make another question, Asking if any of our well known characters, (Besides the obvious) passed a mystical test to get into Gunnerkrigg. Someone else ask it, quick! All the "test students" are put in Foley House, so that basically limits it to adults and people we haven't met yet.

I would have to say, once we find out what house all the people mentioned belong to it will be easier to discover who started out in the forest and who came from somewhere more sinister, like if Eglamore is from the same house as the suicide faeries then we know that at one point he was an animal, if jones is from the same house a zimmy then we know something is off about the lady, but as it stands we don't know the houses it makes it more difficult to determine things like this.

Jones wasn't a student at Gunnerkrigg Court [SOURCE]

*Silences enormous crowd of Kat fans armed with rotten squash* In all honesty, she does seem very set in her ways of sticking wholly to scientific explanation. Remember how peeved she got at Rey for explaining etheric tenets? Obviously she's loved science her whole life and isn't going to stand for some dumb stone* excreting on all of her beliefs. I think though that she will eventually turn around and except etheric...stuff...for what it is and she can get on with her gravity-defying protein and what not. It really depends on what exactly she would be if non-human. Would she be whatever Jones is supposedly supposed to be? That is, an emotionless being that is adept at analyzing situations from a neutral stand-point for all we know. Kat has shown no small amount of emotion throughout the comic, once even remarking that she cries when she reads Batman! If she is non-human, then that means that one of her parents has to be non-human as well. And count adoption out people, cause there is no way an unrelated kid has that much resemblance to both parents. As for what other kind of race she could be, well, I don't know. She doesn't seem to have any sort of traits that sets her apart from other humans, aside from being incredibly smart. And as for Ms. Jones, she could just be really good at concealing emotions for the sake of her job. She has to be neutral with everything, or else it would seem as though she were biased. She for all we know could cry when reading Batman when no one is around. If you want my opinion, its Mr. Eglamore. I don't know why I have never seen anyone bring this up! The man has super strength, the ability to leap several metres in the air, travel at incredible speeds, and, I mean, just look at the guy! He's ripped! As well, he seems to be a bit emotionless himself. I think it may be because he wants to detach himself from humans or something like that, maybe due to some horrific lose (nudge nudge). In my opinion he is a trans-human, above the average person in any and every way. That means he is by no means a regular "human" by classification. As for how he got to be this way, well, this may belong in the wild speculation thread, but perhaps some sort of court experiment on him went horribly wrong? I'm looking at you Randy... *I in no way support Kat's view on the blinker stone. As far as I am concerned the blinker stone is an embodiment of all things awesome. This post (Sorry, I know it's old) raised an interesting point to my mind - funny how Kat seems fine with her parents powers of force fields... perhaps those aren't etheric? She's seen them used in front of her, afterall. And she seems quite okay with our favourite demon-wolf-toys shapeshifting abilities...

This is because as pointed out by annie you never refer to yourself when speaking of the court. www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=375 this ma' indicate why she is not the new medium as well who would trust a former badger to be neutral in dealings with the forest.

"Uh... You never say 'we' or 'us' or 'them' when talking about either party." Methinks Jones is neither of the Forest nor of the Court. Uh, yeah, by the way, new reader here, hi... great comic, and if Tom is reading this thread, keep up the good work.

Eglamore is obviously a supersonic hedgehog. Lightning reactions, practically bristles with armoury.

It was said that Eglamore had the symbol of lead for a reason.

My money is on Jones. It's a little obvious (Antimony: "HAY I THINK JONES IS A ROBOT!"), but there's nothing wrong with obvious. Of course, if Jones is human...then my Special Super Secret Theory of Jeanne might still be true. Actually, it could be true even if Jones is a 'bot...

You suspect perhaps that Jones is Jeanne in a robot body? The soul put elsewhere? Jones, Jeanne... I think you should post in the wild speculation thread!
