Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Belkar Bitterleaf - Easy one.
Secret SoD Character - So tragic... I love him a lot, and his last words were so dramatic...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ho Thanh - Qarr is really funny (especially with Blackwing), yet Thanh was really brave there when he saved Niu.
Inkyrius - I don't really like any of the characters there, yet I'l do it for Vaarsuvius.

Touché. I give you that.

Belkar, I could never vote against a sexy shoeless god of war.
Secret SOD character
Gladiator Warden

Belkar. Crystal is by far my least favorite of the "dumb" characters.
Secret SOD character. Tough decision since I like both characters, but Qarr getting outsmarted by a bird narrowly tips the scales to the Secret SOD character.
LC
Thanh. A true hero.
Inkyrius. I liked him/her going all mama bear against Darth V.

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
I don't think I've really considered voting against a PC yet (and I don't think I would have in any of the matches I missed), and Crystal won't be the first character to make me. Belkar Bitterleaf all the way.
I've not read Start of Darkness, but I have a general idea of what happens. The Secret SoD Character sounds far more interesting than Qarr ever will be.
---
I love the Azurites, and Ho Thanh is no exception. The Warden was fun, but not as cool as Thanh.
I have no strong preference on the last one, but I love the Knot-topped Resistance Leader's line, so I'll give him (?) the edge.

Secret SoD Character--though I have to ask, how did everyone know who this is? I only became sure after I saw someone accidentally post his name.

Well who else would he be talking about?

Yydranna? Barky? Xavion? Keith Baker? Right Eye is really the only SoD exclusive character worth mentioning. Right-Eye's family I suppose, but they really have no purpose with out Right-Eye.
Also, if there was any doubt, this post should have cleared it up.

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Xykon - I don't like voting against Niu. I quite like Niu, but I don't think it would be right to have Xykon beaten by her. Xykon is much more developed than Niu, much more important to the story and has a lot more interesting moments.
Monster in the Darkness - He's quite funny, and the moments he had with O-Chul were touching.
Samantha - Out of the two, I feel that she played a more important part of her story segment than the dragon did. She's okay, though I liked her father better.
Julio Scoundrel - This one was pretty hard, too. Scoundrel did have some funny moments, and he was quite important for Elan's development.
-
Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Poor Durkon :(
Niu, because she's pretty cool and I don't want her to lose to bad.
:mitd:, because he's one of my characters in the whole damn strip. and is hilarious.
(intentionally not voting in first LC match-up, as I don't care for either of them)
Julio Scoundrel, because he probably has one of the best memorability to strips featured ratios of any character, and because he's a driving force in my all-time favorite sub-arc. He should have beaten Scruffy in round 1.
-
Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Xykon - The primary antagonist trumps any secondary character, especially one as forgettable as Niu.
The Monster in the Darkness - Ian Starshine is a great big meanie-head.
Samantha - The lesser of two mehs.
Julio Scoundrel - Voted for him in the first round, continue to do so this time around. Julio is seriously badass, people.

Re: Favourite Character Tournament

Xykon is a magnificent villian, never gets old, Niu is out of his league despite being interesting.
This was kinda close to me, both of them served a purpose, are gonna get more showtime and will be important, tough in different measurements I guess. Monster in the Darkness then wins because it's my fave out of the two. :smallbiggrin:
LC
While the Teen Dragon played an important role, he was the preview of what was about to come, while Samantha was the main attraction of that arc. Not the most likable character, but she did her job. :smallsmile:
Julio Scoundrél wins in every department. Funny thing that it'll say Scoundrél vs. Rodriguez when the voting finishes :smalltongue:

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Oh man, from doing a once over I thought the battle was between Xykon and the Monster in the Darkness. That would have been a toughie. As it stands, though...
Xykon

MitD Though if he'd been pitted against Niu rather than Geoff, I might not have said the same...
Losers cup.
Adolescent Black Dragon
Scoundrel!

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
I like Niu, but the vote has to go to Xykon.
I hate hate hate Ian Starshine. I love the Monster in the Darkness. He and O-Chul gave us some of my favorite moments.
LC:
The Adolescent Black Dragon beats out Samantha a hundredfold.
Julio Scoundrel; although if it had been Mr. Rodriguez instead of Mr. Jones, I'd have voted for him.

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Xykon His characterization of taking nothing seriously combined with a deep, seldom-manifested reservoir of rage makes him a seriously entertaining villain.
MitD Ah, sharing a moment with O-Chul as the rain pitter-pattered.
Samantha
Antonio BanJulio Scoundrél. Men want to be him...

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Niu - she's an awesome character and I wish she was up against a more beatable opponent. Come on everyone, vote for Niu!
MITD - one of my favourite characters ever since the whole arc with O-Chul. S/he's a sweetie.
Samantha - have to admit, a teenage girl taking down half the Order is pretty impressive.
Julio Scoundrél - concentrated awesome.

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Xykon
I like Niu, but really? Xykon has been the primary antagonist since nearly the beginning of the series.
MitD: 'cause I voted for a mystery character yesterday, so let's start a trend. Also, he is more developed than Ian.
Black dragon: Both villains from the same sidequest, but one of them was a hook 2 books later, while the other is completely irrelevant now.
Mr. Jones Looks like this is a losing battle, but really? The lawyers are awesome!
-
Re: Favourite Character Tournament
I like Niu, but Xykon takes this one for me. Because, you know, villain.
Ian's only truly funny moment was "these ones taste like neck!" And the scene when Haley can't get him to listen to reason is just painful. (In all the right ways, but still.) Monster-san all the way.
Samantha was OK, but ultimately the Young Adult Black Dragon was more important.
Jones is the better lawer, but he doesn't hold a candle to the great Julio Scoundrél!
