who is your favorite character?

[zinycor]

Mine is Tarquin (I just love how evil and calm he is, he reminds me of my furst DnD character, since i did end up with a very evil fortress myself, so much fun ^^), followed closely by Belkar...

Who is your favorite? Why?

[DaggerPen]

I can't decide. I really love O-Chul (a common option, yes, but for good reason - he's everything a paladin should be), but the MitD is so freaking adorable, and I love his character arc. I'm also really digging Bandana, but she's too new still to really be sure.

[zinycor]

I like O-Chul as well, strip 547 was a great one and made me want to play a paladin.

[Jaxzan Proditor]

DaggerPen somehow managed to ninja me here with her answer. Of the actual Order, my favorite is probably Roy or Vaarsuvius. Of the villains, I think my favorite is Nale. Another reason why I like the MitD is because he is such a mystery.

[Leviting]

Either O-chul or Redcloak. O-chul because he is the living incarnation of physical and mental toughness and will, and Redcloak because he is willing to do just about anything to succeed in his goals.

[Tvtyrant]

V and Durkon are my two favorites, with V edging out Durkon by a bit. Having a character who didn't understand themselves enough to know their goals were the last thing they should ever be allowed to achieve is a wonderful revelation for the audience.

i never really got into Nale, he was evil and all, but i never understood his motivation to go out of his way to kill his brother. I mean, what does he get if he achieves it? of course, he won't now, and i guess he is there mainly to develop Elan, but nontheless i found tarquin wa there for pretty much the same reasons and Tarquin made a very funny villain.

[Jasdoif]

Haley, of course. Who else could pull off sneak attack boot to the face, and figure out Shojo's facade, and unravel Redcloak's ploy, and withstand concurrent mental assault from Celia and Belkar, and get a nonverbal message to Roy with no forewarning? Oh, and she can handle enemies proficiently too.

Haley's easily the most versatile character in the entire comic.

[Darth Paul]

Gonna have to go with Roy (like me, the only sane man of his group) and Shojo, the only man who could face Roy in snark-to-snark combat and win.

Of course, there's no villain like Xykon!

[YossarianLives]

In the order itself I've always really liked V. But my general favorite is probably the oracle of sunken valley.

[Scarlet Knight]

No character is so beloved with so few strips.

I truly believe that he had to be removed from the comic because you can't be serious with such a hilarious character.

Removed? He could still be alive.

[Socksy]

Lauriiiiiiiiiiin! :D

For a lot of reasons really, but mostly because psionics are freaking groovalicious.

[Lord Raziere]

If I had to be honest with myself?

Xykon. The guy is funny as all heck, he has that strange odd evil wisdom thing going, real big on force, and I sympathize with him on the whole wizard thing, those guys just keep rubbing their smug wizard elitism in his face. and yet it is clear he is perhaps the evilest guy around and should be killed immediately. If he wasn't evil, he would be my ideal sorcerer: charismatic, funny, spontaneous and willing to take no garbage from those wizards. alas, despite all his charisma and hilarity, he needs to be defeated.

[Graustein]

Definitely V. I've never seen any character for whom gender is more irrelevant, and it gives me strength.

Personality-wise, I'm not a big fan :P but they're still one of the most complex characters in the strip, and definitely the most complex gender-variant character I've ever seen.

[Mastikator]

Celia maybe.

Or Durkon.

Or Leeky Windstaff.

Also a fan of Sara Greenhilt.

Haley is also on the list.

[Edhelras]

Haley. Cutest rogue in the stickverse. I fell in love with her even before Bandana confirmed that she is curvy. And she's a really nice girl, kind and tough and heroic.

On second place is O'Chul. Mainly because he showed me what a true Paladin is (or may be) like. And taught me much about how to play one - something I have later on had much fun from.

[Windscion]

Disclaimer: This reflects not who I like, but whose stories going forward intrigue me most. The characters I actually like are MitD and O'Chul.

From OotS, I am intrigued by V. She's determined not to make the same mistake twice. Which means she will make more interesting mistakes as time goes on. Which is to say, she's growing up. (Plus, I think Blackwing is fricking hilarious.) Also, the whole possession subplot.

Of non-OotS characters, I am most looking forward to Redcloak's story.

[Heksefatter]

Elan, particularly when he is less stupid and more mind-functioning-on-a-completely-different-level. The Elan that made Lien say "an epic-level ranger couldn't track his thought process."

Shojo, for his humour, his cynicism, his deviousness and them being combined with good intentions.

V for getting more and more depth and for being that annoying arrogant wizard.

The Monster in the Dark and O-Chul, particularly when they interact.

Xykon, for being the perfect sorceror-lich.

Tarquin, for being the genre-savvy evil overlord par excellence, though I liked him better when he seemed like a legitimate threat.

[oppyu]

Haley, Nale and Redcloak.

[evileeyore]

Vaarsuvius. Though Redcloak has been growing on me.

[Gift Jeraff]

[Rogar Demonblud]

O-Chul. He is what a paladin should be, and has replaced Samurai Jack at the top of the heap. O-Chul is what Chuck Norris wants to be when he grows up.

[Leviting]

Haley. Cutest rogue in the stickverse. I fell in love with her even before Bandana confirmed that she is curvy...

I thought the curvy thing was implied when Celia was having to pin Haley's pants at the waist. Unless that is interpreted as Celia being ridiculously skinny.

[Heksefatter]

For my part, I read it more like Celia being an elfin creature (literally). She naturally has less meat on her.

But details, details.

[dancrilis]

Xykon.

I frequently forget that as he shows up infrequently - but when he does show he immediately regains the status.

Outside of that I think Thog has a similar affect, and I am partial to both Belker and the Oracle.

Durkon the non-vampire version is liked for different reasons - he just seems so fundamentally decent without it being exaggerated in a way that I imagine is difficult to do.

[Doc Filth]

Belkar, Xykon and Thog. Easily.

[zinycor]

xykon is certainly amazing, as it's been said I frequently forget it, but whenever i see xykon i can't help to smile at hi evilness

[grandpheonix]

I love the ssgow almost as much as i love ochul. In the game im playing right now im making an ochul. 7lvls of fighter then the rest pally.

Who's "the ssgow"?
