Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Let us go back to the early characters. My bet is on Fruit PieTM Sorcerer.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Is six weeks too short a time to run an official Guessing thread, with pros and cons of each candidate?
Going by previous forum interactions, I'll guess 'no'

You assume the character will be revealed in six weeks. It could be several months.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
It's doubtful to be strip 1 panel 1 of the next update though. Depending on the book length, the first half of the book might constitute the next year in updates.
Let me think of pros/cons for Holey Brotherhood. I'm not the one to curate the thread as I'm on a mobile and hate Banjo (and by extension, Giggles) and my last meaningful contribution to the forum was Phyrnglsnyx.

How about that group o adventures trying to defeat Tarquins group in a flashback? They were trying to get to a treasure before Tarquin did but failed.

Assuming you're referring to this one, that'd be Ollie of Kukla, Fran and Ollie. And, contrary to the strip title, I only had to ask my mother, not my grandparents.
I would further like to remind you of this candidate.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Prediction time.
In my experience, in situations like this, after the reveal happens some annoying jerkwad inevitably pops up to say "Well, its OBVIOUS it was going to be the angel roach. I knew it the whole time." The best way to combat this is to actually keep track of who guessed what. So, when that person shows up, everyone can then point to them guessing RC's Niece, which was not only not the angel roach but also a guess since she had way more than one appearance. Pursuing that goal, I'm going to track everyone's predicts.
Lets keep it consistent with the MitD predictions. Obviously, having a single guess is best for bragging rights, but if you really want you can have up to 3 guesses. They can be rank ordered (1st choice X, 2nd choice Y, 3rd choice Z) or equal-weight ("its one of these 3"). If enough people guess, I'll keep a league-table of the most popular guesses.
I'll track them here unless we start a new thread. I've gone through the thread and added anyone who said anything like "I think its X" or "I'm guessing that its X", or joked that it might be a particular candidate and then ran with the joke instead of letting it die. Pelee probably doesn't *really* think its Xyklon the Consequential, but I had to draw the line somewhere.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Idea: In 999, we see the high priests of the other pantheons voting. I doubt any of those priests appeared elsewhere, and they are presumably high enough level to be important allies if they so choose.
Too bad it's impossible, since the Godsmoot is still in session, and likely to remain for a while as the dwarves delay resuming their council.
*******
Also: The two guys Durkon recruited (who have been suggested) were in Origin of the PCs, not the early strips. And they seemed too jokey for the job.
Addendum: And while he only appears once, Steve Rogers is trademarked and therefore highly unlikely.
PPS: Also, in #149, the previous supreme leader (not the one in GDGU: that one was a green goblin, this one an orange hobgoblin) appears and wisely pretends to not be the supreme leader. He might have useful information, but now that RC has Gobbotopia, I doubt he has any sway with the goblinoids.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
You know what, fresh off of my two correct predictions (and that in a different media thing I, on my own, case up with a theory that turned out to already be a popular one), I’ll actually give a definitive guess, Aunt Ivy.
EDIT: Also Serini, Green Voice, Popcorn, Fruit Pie, Shoulderpad Guy (unless if you’re really committed and want to ignore H&J) and Tiamat all have more than one page, Serini and Tiamat even have more than one normal online comic appearance, so I feel like those guesses (except maybe Shoulderpad Guy) shouldn’t stay in the counting post.
EDIT 2: Oh and for everyone guessing Giggles, he has 3 pages (the other two aren’t online I guess).Last edited by Schroeswald; 2019-12-13 at 03:16 PM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
The Giant being The Giant, he isn't the type to pull plot points out of his arse. DCF ended with Shojo and Miko shown. NCftPB ended showing Xykon's Army advancing to Azure City and the Linear Guild working on their plot. Kubota was shown in the ending of War and XP. While Tarquin was not shown at the end of DStP, the fact that Elan's and Haley's fathers were on the Western Continent was known. Hel was shown at the end of BRitF.
So whoever this mysterious new ally who has only been shown in one page is, it's logical and guessable.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I don't see this, but i would like this.
Who's that guy?
Petrocorus - 12/12/19 - Shoulderpad Guy or Tiamat
One time in crayons (273, Shojo's narration) and one time in Thor's narration (1143). Never herself, but image of her.
She apparently appeared in 2 bonus comics in the books, but i don't know if this counts.
I still think she's a possibility though.
I stand by Shoulderpad Guy.
For the record, my money is also on OB and GB being draconic creatures of some sort.
IMHO, the existence of a world inside the rift already put some doubts on what we know about him.Last edited by Petrocorus; 2019-12-13 at 03:51 PM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
What? How is 5 different appearances and two bonus comics apply to the qualification of 1 page, in all of OOTS? Maybe you could ignore two of her appearances (telephone and Godsmoot), but she still has 5 pages (oh, and at least one of them was in SoD, which I see no excuse for not counting), and I can’t think of any way to write them off and still leave one page.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Serious guess: Suzy Finklestein. Shown in a flashback as Eugene's rival at school, and mentioned at least once as his adult rival at the Wizzy awards. Only appeared in one single panel in SoD. She'd be a powerful archmage now. About the same age as Eugene, she could still be alive. And she has a connection to Roy through her daughter.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I may have miscounted this. I didn't see 5 appearances. I need to check this.
I was discounting the appearance in 1143 because it's actually an hologram of her, not her. And i'm not sure to count the one when the Oracle makes his ritual. So for me there was only 273.
I just don't know for the other ones, i'll look into it.
I believe only a statue of her appear in the Godsmoot.Last edited by Petrocorus; 2019-12-13 at 04:12 PM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
As much as I would like to see Vector Legion back on stage, I doubt SPG would be willing to become an ally; it has been stated VL are all quite Evil, and I doubt Giand would like to pull ''VL are offering aid'' thing again.
My immediate idea, and I'm quite surprised nobody has mentioned them, is the pair of adventurers who battled a black dragon during familicide event. They do seem quiet powerful and will certainly try to determine what the hell happened. The only mitigating factor is that Giant's phrasing implies there is only one such ally, and they are two of them.
In case GDGU does not count as a prequel, former Supreme Leader is a good bet.There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
True, I acknowledge that the first bit about Thor may not be true. However, not every single one of the Northern Pantheon was represented at the Godsmoot, because as we saw with Hel, there has to be a high enough level cleric. Popcorn didn't have one.
...So, how close are you to dying of natural causes? Do I need to speed it up?
(it's a joke. just figured I'd mention that because people get tetchy sometimes)

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
The teams in question are the Duke Blue Devils and the Arizona Sun Devils. The appearance isn't identical, but it's close, the characters are recognizable, and both are trademarks (not copyrights).
I am not an Intellectual property lawyer, but fair use does not apply to trademarks, so in theory parody and humor are not protected, however, trademarks aren't necessarily protected if there is no chance of product identity confusion, which there would not be for any reasonable use by Rich as long as he doesn't use the characters in publicity or on the cover.
That said, I would not risk using a trademarked character as a major character in a work, that really is just asking to get sued.Last edited by Doug Lampert; 2019-12-13 at 05:17 PM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I'm liking the idea of Fruit Pie being the one--Haleo and Julelan being removed from the actual story, his cameo there probably doesn't count as an appearance in this story. Plus it'd be really really funny.
But here's someone I don't think anyone else has considered...
Spoiler: On the Origin of PCs Spoiler... what about that Monk from On the Origin of PCs? The one Belkar swooped in and verbally humiliated, taking the last spot in the Order from him?
A little flimsy, I know. He didn't seem to have a whole lot of personality, and he wasn't even given a name. But that also makes him a bit unique, in that, as a no-name character whose only appearance is in bonus content, he actually has not been cataloged in the Number of Character Appearances thread. So here's where--and I admit, this is assuming he scoured the Character Appearances thread and actually 1) remembered that monk at all, 2) noticed he wasn't on the list, and 3) had an idea of how to use this random character (from a book that he isn't really especially proud of compared to the other prequels) that he thought would be really cool--Rich may have had the chance to hint at his appearance while cleverly hiding the answer from anyone expecting to just look at the Appearances thread and find them that way, instead rewarding readers who actually went through and looked.
Again, I know it's flimsy, BUT...
Spoiler: Related to those OtOoPCs SpooliersI could kind of see him encountering the Order after all this time, and Belkar in particular, and I find the thought that maybe his life just spiraled in some insane other direction after Belkar harangued him and broke his faith in his chosen life path... actually kind of a fascinating idea. And maybe Rich thought that as well.
Or maybe even the opposite happened! Maybe his brief doubt in his abilities as a monk bounced back, and his resolve was strengthened, and after training and gaining levels now he's tracked down the Order to PROVE that he was worthy of being among their ranks because it turns out he's kind of an obsessive weirdo.
Anyway. Half of that was just the weird direction my brain takes ideas like this, but something about this one just really got me thinking. And I felt the need to retroactively justify all the checking and double-checking I did to make sure that yes, this man has been entirely overlooked by the Character Appearances counter.
Of course, there's always the remote possibility he's appeared in another place where he was actually given a name and that's why I couldn't find him.
Spoiler: One last "Origins" SpoolierAlso, the two voices from the end of #1189 are totally the two outsiders Durkon almost-recruited while Roy was gathering the others CHANGE MY MIND*
