    Default What are your favorite character duos (or more)?

    Just like my previous thread over ideal dates, this one'll be as pointless and deprived of entertainment as the aforementioned. Nonetheless:

    Who's in your favorite duo? (or more). It shouldn't be a whole faction (sorry, no Team Evil) or individual character (sorry, no Redcloak). Duos are preferable, but if there's a 2+ group of members then throw that in.

    Cargo shipping generally does not count (sorry, no Greenhilt sword).

    Duos (or more) can be cut from all sorts of dough, from friendships to romances to rivalries to sibling grudge matches to father-son antagonism to mentor-student amicability to ULTIMATE CLERIC DUELS to sidekicks and pets to snark combats:

    You can have your Big Bad and Dragon

    Or a companionable chat between you, a fellow cleric, and your god

    Or a wizard and zir familiar

    Possibly you and an enemy that doesn't remember your name

    Maybe a pair of brothers that [culminates in the elder Disintegrating the younger out of the sky in a sunk-cost fallacy justification]

    Perhaps a possible connection between you and a companion hijacked by a world-destroying vampiric soul

    The team couple

    The sweetest and probably most useful friendship ever

    And even brief friendships will stay around

    Just throwing in some of my favorites. There's tons more out there that I absolutely love -- so, what are yours?

    and help provide a strip link

    Just a heads-up: That coffee we gave you earlier had fluorescent calcium in it so we can track the neuronal activity in your brain. There's a slight chance the calcium could harden and vitrify your frontal lobe. Anyway, don't stress yourself thinking about it. I'm serious. Visualizing the scenario while under stress actually triggers the reaction.

    Obviously Belkar and Mr Scruffy. I can't think of another answer for this thread.

    I would have answered Tsukiko x Xykon too, but their love never had his time.....

    I wanna say the wholesome "paladins can be chill too" thing that Lien and O'chul have going on, but really what I feel most in my soul is the connection between an half-orc ninja girl and the literal demon imp who doesn't understand the mysteries of her heart.

    I'm still on board with Bonejo. Star-crossed lovers.

    What? It has to be canonical? Are you implying Bonejo isn't?

    Bonejo is valid and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Dream Weaver playing over the "touch the gate" sequence in #109 is canon

    I love every conversation between Roy and Belkar. Despite being polar opposites in almost every way, they have a natural rapport and a sort of weird, grudging mutual respect that makes the dynamic between them a delight to watch. I've often wondered if Roy will miss Belkar more than he thinks he will.

    I can't believe I forgot that group. They were so awesome together!

    Let me toss in Qarr and V.. The black humor and sarcasm from both is just way too good to not mention.

    how did i forget so many great pairings

    Hmm...for comic enjoyment, Belkar with V has some of my favorite scene. Belkar with Durkon is pretty good too. Roy and Elan go well together as well...everyone else, meh. Elan and Belkar in general play off people well. Now I kinda want to go through all pairings and see how well they work, comic wise.

    Lot of good responses here; one I haven't seen is Belkar and Elan, which I particularly enjoyed early on because Elan seemed to be the only member of the Order who liked and was liked by Belkar, and because they often bonded over making juvenile jokes at Roy's expense.

    I have an (probably slightly unhealthy) liking for the Sabine-Elan-coupling http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0794.html
    I like him solving this encounter in a very unexpected, non-violent, kinda "heroic" way, and her totally being caught by it. There must be good in her

    Oh, and for the funnsies, nothing tops these two:

    Roy & Eugene
    Haley & genderswapped Roy
    (yeah, Roy being the butt of jokes just works so well . His responses are very funny as well, and he can take it. With Elan, I often feel more sad for his stupidity than I can laugh about the jokes on his costs. But Roy can take it )

    I also liked Elan and Belkar, but ever since the party split, I've a hard time thinking of any 'scenes' they've had. Which is a shame, as I liked the bonding of chaotics from different ends of the morality axis.
