    Hmm, the first one is tough, but I think I'll go with Hinjo. A personable paladin is always welcome in my book.

    The Ancient Black Dragon as my second choice. Her contribution to the plot was appreciated, and her demise was sufficiently ignominious to earn some sympathy, despite her questionable behaviour.

    Finally, Geoff and The Empress of Blood can have my vote. No strong opinion on either of the four proposed characters, but those two had some funny lines.

    Shojo for his performance art.

    Blackwing for his saurian heritage.

    Geoff for his dodging.

    Empress of Blood for her defiance of the laws of physics.

    Now it's getting tough.

    It has to be Vaarsuvius, but only because Soon hasn't had enough screentime. I suspect that once his backstory is more fleshed out, he'll start deserving to win this one.

    O-Chul. I like Therkla, I like her very much in fact, but she's just a little too much of a "suddenly stricken teenage girl in love" to beat the mighty O-Chul, toughest of us all.

    Eugene Greenhilt. Samantha's Dad didn't do enough, but the "I challenge you for leadership of the bandits!" line was nice.

    Death Knight. Nonentity versus nonentity. The Death Knight is slightly more of a character.

    Oh, definitely Vaarsuvius. (S)he is by far my favorite character in the whole comic and I'm totally in love with hir

    Again, easy choice. O-Chul, along with other Sapphire Guard paladins is really interesting, complex and lovable character. Therkla was simply some generic bad guy, she redeemed her evil deeds and properly died in the hero's arms. Nothing very original here.

    LC:

    I can't stand Eugene either, but Samantha's Dad was no better. There is nothing to like in any of them, so I abstain here.

    Death Knight is simply hilarious in Xykon-like way. Evisceratus was OK I suppose, but a cat toy is no match for an old classic.

    I liked Soon Kim very much, but Vaarsuvius is my favourite character.

    Poor Therkla, she was a nice character, but O-Chul is at a higher level, both in favouritism and story weight.

    LC

    Eugene beats Sam's Dad easily, not having a name despite being OK hurts a lot, especially when Eugene it's damn hilarious.

    Two minor guys, I guess Evisceratus was funnier tho.

    Soon Kim

    Ok, a really tough choice here; I don't want to see either of these two characters fall. The Ghost Martyrs strip is probably my favourite moment in the story so far, and Soon appears to be an honourable and heroic character. But V's story in this arc andthe last book has been great, and she is good for a lot of laughs too. The wizard gets it on a points decision, mostly for the "can we please resume saving the world" line.

    Therkla
    VS
    O-Chul
    Another tough one. O-Chul is a great character, but maybe a bit too relentlessly wise and tough and awesome. I have a lot of time for Therkla, who was something of a tragic anti-heroine even at her most teeny emo moments. So I'd call this a tie. But as I don't like to abstain, so I'm going to chuck a sympathy vote Therkla's way; I think O-Chul will probably walk this one, and she deserves better than to be white-washed.

    Eugene Greenhilt
    VS
    Samantha's Dad
    No contest really; Eugene is a bit of a heel, but he is more memorable and important than the bandit chief.

    Death Knight
    VS
    Evisceratus
    I've not re-read this arc, so can't remember who Evisceratus is. Death Knight wins by default.

    Vaarsuvius. A tragic hero in the Greek sense. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Darth Vaarsuvius was the best arc in the strip.
    O-Chul. Wisdom, dignity, grace, a cool scar.

    Eugene was always an old man in his heart. That's interesting. He gives us some insight into Roy's characterization. And as bad a parent as he was, haven't you ever wondered if Roy wouldn't be much better off if he had gone to wizard school?
    Death Knight was pretty funny.

    Soon Kim is pretty cool, but not cool enough to beat Vaarsuvius. Sorry.

    O-Chul beats out Therkla in a heartbeat.

    LC:

    Samantha's Dad, because anyone not actually annoying beats out Eugene.

    Given that even with looking at the strip, it took me five minutes to remember "Evisceratus," I'm going with the Death Knight.

    Vaarsuvius for the first vote. Soon Kim is a good character on all respects, but didn't get enough screentime to compete on this one, I'm afraid. Better luck after an Order of the Scrible flashback, maybe ?

    O-Chul as the second. I wasn't a huge fan of Therkla, so this one is a no brainer for me, really.

    Eugene Greenhilt as the third. I must say, I really like this character, despite (or because of ?) his flaws. Against a character who's not even named ? Please.

    And to wrap this up... hmmm. I'd go with the Death Knight. Without much enthusiasm. Well, he was funny while he was there, I guess.

    Oh jeez. Too bad. Therkla deserves better than to get walloped by someone so clearly superior as O-Chul. If he were any other paladin, she'd have a fighting chance. I'm still going with her, as much as I like O-Chul -- her strips were some of my favorite in the comic, and her jokes & sass around the orcs, Kubota, and Qarr were top shelf. Anyone else gonna show some love?

    Battle of the Dads! Greenhilt in a walk.
    Evisceratus! That line by the death knight is the only interesting thing he does, but the morally-crystalline, hilariously-underpowered, wannabe avenger? Awesome.

    EDIT: Also, anyone else hear Elan's song "Resist, resist, resist the deadly poison" to the tune of "Little Fall of Rain"?

    Oof, this first one's a doozy. I would seriously consider voting for Soon Kim over one or two other PCs, but not over Vaarsuvius. Only the honor of a paladin is unbreakable, but V's been broken again and again now, and he/she is a better character for it. Not to mention one of the funniest characters in the strip.

    The next one is easier. O-Chul is a heroic and poetic badass, one of the best characters in the series. Therkla is an alright minor character, but I find her fairly forgettable for the amount of screentime that she got and I never really enjoyed the whole "redeemed because Elan is just so beautiful" angle.

    ---

    Samantha's Dad is actually one of my favorite minor characters from early in the story. Eugene is a better character overall, but Sam's dad was actually pretty hilarious (way better than Samantha herself) and I enjoyed him a lot.

    And...I have a hard time caring about these last two. Not every minor NPC can be Wizard Guy. I guess I'll go with Evisceratus because the housecat killing a commoner joke was pretty amusing.

    Soon Kim - As much as I love V, and she has had some amazing moments, Soon's lines in "The Land of the Rising..." still give me chills. He gets my vote, because V's going to crush him anyway, and he deserves to at least be able to put up a fight.
    O-Chul - This one isn't close. Not even a little. O-Chul is an awesome character, and the personification of what a Paladin should be. Therkla is my least favorite major character in the entire comic.
    Samantha's Dad - "I challenge you for leadership of the bandits!"... heh.
    Death Knight - Man, this guy was funny. Evisceratus? Seriously, I lost track of who that guy was while that arc was still going on.

    Soon was OK. He had his stick-up-the-butt moments, and his actual-wise-paladin moments, and his crowning moment of awesome. None of this qualifies him to compete with an amazing main character like Vaarsuvius.

    I was never a big Therkla fan. O-chul all the way. The quote selected for him this round is one of his best, showing how awesome he really is.

    Argh, I hate Eugene. But sometimes, that's the mark of a really well-written antagonist. He's interesting, that's for sure. Not Lawful Good Heaven material, but interesting.

    I never found the Death Knight funny. Evisceratus was funny, for the whole strip and a half that he existed.

    I'm a big fan of Therkla and Soon Kim (Ghost Martyrs of the Saphire Guard- ATTACK!) but unfortunately for Soon, V is a protagonist, and one with heavy detailing in recent strips; and as for Therkla, she's great but O-Chul is still O-Chul... Sigh, Neutralize Poison another time, dear...

    Eugene - Roy's sarcastic father? Of course! Didn't like Samantha or her Dad much...
    Death Knight - Reread the Death Knight strips recently, so I guess he's still fresh in the head. Evisceratus wasn't bad either though...
