Hinjo,Join the oots or not?
It might just happen. Just look at it. Hinjo +Oots leads into intesting plot twits and as a bonus it gives the oots even more reason to yell at Miko(for being cruel to Hinjo). You never know with the giant
Not forgetting Yldenfrei and the wonderful avatar she made.

Re: Hinjo,Join the oots or not?
I don't know if he'd join, per se, but I think it'd be cool for Hinjo to come along with OoTS for awhile.

Re: Hinjo,Join the oots or not?
Agree with Ptolemy here. I love Hinjo and find him to be a very interesting character, but The Order of the Stick has enough members already. I'd bet he is pretty good in a fight though, assuming he actually gets out somewhat.

Re: Hinjo,Join the oots or not?
If Hinjo did come along they would have to hide Belkar from him. Even as easy going as Hinjo seems to be as a paladin he couldn't overlook the fact that Belkar isn't supposed to be free.
Plus, as a paladin, he can't associate with Belkar as a party member.

Re: Hinjo,Join the oots or not?
I do believe he knows Belkar is evil
Personally I think it would be cool for Shinjo and some of the other Paladins to fight alongside the OotS when they invade Azure City.Avatar by Abardam.

Re: Hinjo,Join the oots or not?
It's kind of hard not to notice a drawing of blood, though admittedly Search and Spot are both Cross-Class for a Paladin.
Still, He does know Belkar is in jailAvatar by Abardam.

Re: Hinjo,Join the oots or not?
While I seriously doubt there will be any changes to the members of the OotS - They've been together since strip one, after all - It's true that the OotS and Hinjo apparently seem to sympathize with each other.
I think Hinjo will succeed his uncle on the throne, and after this remain a good friend of the OotS while they continue their travels.This signature is boring. The stuff I write might not be. Warning: Ponies.

Re: Hinjo,Join the oots or not?
Whether or not Hinjo knows Belkar is evil now (I think he does, but whatever), do you really think he could adventure for more than two days with the party before the Belkster shows his true colors with some comment or suggestion? Not to mention, Belkar's arms are going to get really tired from holding that lead sheet up all the time.

Wait a minute...
If Hinjo's a paladin, then where's the Stick in his Ass?

Re: Hinjo,Join the oots or not?
Hinjo is a likeable character, friendly to the OotS, popular with the fans, and an important and effective part(notice him caring about his reputation at New Year's, his concern about the "hunger strike" and his immideate action towards the catapults) of the Azure City Defense and law enforcement - in short, I fear for his life-span.
That aside, I don't see anybody really join the order, but they will surely have to deal a lot with one another in coming strips. The relation might become stressy, though, if Hinjo learns about Belkar, especially directly after Miko arriving and reporting about the orders "betrayal". Chances for plot twists.

Re: Hinjo,Join the oots or not?
I don't know, I don't get an OOTS vibe off of Hinjo. The Giant has crafted these characters in such a way that they have a very special group dynamic. Hinjo, while an extremely likeable and helpful guy, just doesn't have that special quality that makes him fit in with the rest of the cast.
truth of the matter is, Hinjo is not a very developed character. We've seen him only a couple times and frankly he hasn't developed nearly enough quirks to be someone who'd fit in with the OOTS.
I can see him beinig an ally, or even fighting along side the OOTS, but not actually join them and become part of the group.
Do not forget, the man will also be someone of power someday. He can't afford to go off on his own adventuring.

Re: Hinjo,Join the oots or not?
Unless Azure City is destroyed and he escapes.
I'm not saying I think he'll join the Order, but it's an outside possibility that he could escape the destruction of the city, and then he'd have to do something."Courage is the complement of fear. A fearless man cannot be courageous. He is also a fool." -- Robert Heinlein

Re: Hinjo,Join the oots or not?
No, I really don't see him as more important character than he's now. However, I was totally surprised with plots quite a few times, so who knows.

Re: Hinjo,Join the oots or not?
He has 15 ranks in Stick Removal.
I just got an interesting idea though...
SpoilerAzure City falls, the gate and all, as well as the Sapphire Guard, and Shojo along with it. Miko and Hinjo survive, Miko convinces Hinjo that the OotS were to blame, though of course he has doubts.
Hinjo travels along with Miko until they meet the OotS, a dramatic fight insues, where in the end Hinjo sacrifices himself to make Miko see the truth. Miko sets out on her own to atone for her madness, by defeating Xykon. She fails, and dies too.
Ps. There needs to be a Hinjo smileyAvatar by Abardam.

Re: Hinjo,Join the oots or not?
This thread should have spoiler in the title.
SpoilerWe never saw Hinjo do paladin thingies but he would probably kill Belkar on sight or at least try. I think he will die with the rest of the Sapphire guard in the next few strips. Only Miko is likely to survive.Last edited by teratorn; 2007-01-23 at 11:42 AM.

Re: Hinjo,Join the oots or not?
Don't see it happening. He's not a major character and, while likeable, wouldn't fit in with the OotS style. Not to mention the Belkar thing.
Plus that'd bring the party size up to 7, which won't be happening. Otherwise (note: spoiler for On the Origins of the PCs)SpoilerThose two really powerful guys Durkon found in Origins would be traveling with the Order
