Default Favourite Character Tournament (INACTIVE)

Welcome to the Favourite Character Tournament! This 96-man, 24-seed tournament will run for the next few mon-... next yea-... probably forever. But I'll be putting multiple match-ups on at a time to try and avert this, so fingers crossed.

"It's not a bug, it's a feature."
1: Roy Greenhilt
VS
Knot-Topped Resistance Leader
"BAH! The flame-haired trollop is an evil interloper, sent by our enemies to sow dissent!"

"Yes, it is I, Banjo the Clown, god of puppets! I have seen you orcs worshipping me, and have chosen this moment to make my will known. Do not harm the fair human! He is my prophet, and shall not have one silky luxurious hair put out of place! Defy me, and prepare to feel my googly-eyed wrath!"
Banjo
VS
Gortok the Destroyer
"Who will be the moron after Gortok's white-hot anger crushes your little body into a mangled bloody pulp while Gortok sings a jaunty turn to accompany your unanswered cries for mercy?"

"Ah, the life of an adventuring cleric. I remember it well. A perpetual struggle to maintain the hit point totals of four or five nigh-suicidal tomb robbers determined to deplete them at all costs. Like bailing out a sinking ship with a thimble, most days."
Malack
VS
'Kaboom' Redaxe
"Did I say "get me some booty"? I meant ta say, "respect yer thoughts an' opinions as fellow humanoids".

"Now take your adventurers and get out of my city before I find a way to charge you with something in this mess. I'm going to have a tough enough time explaining this to the mayor as it is..."
Rookie Cop
VS
24: Daigo Da-
"Sir, I know it isn't really my place to say, but... if we're ever going to ever retake the city, we'll need you leading the charge. Not the nobles, who are, as the bard said, doodoo heads. You're a very good paladin sir-but right now, I think our people need their lord more than they need a paladin.

The main character versus that angry guy? I'll go with Roy Greenhilt.

All hail Banjo the Clown!

That quote from Kaboom is hilarious, but he can't compete with Malack.

Daigo Da-. Rookie was a bit of fun, but only together with Chief and even in that duo he was the second funniest.

Roy. Perhaps the Bag of Tricks has cats too? Greatsword might just do the trick in a pinch.

Banjo. This match favors him. He doesn't even need to go all Banjulhu.

Malack. Harm. Quickened Inflict Moderate Wounds.

Daigo Da- I guess he has more levels?

Well, do ya, punk?

Most of these were pretty lopsided contests, and I'm sure Roy got an extra boost from #860.

I just wanted to point out, this is not who would win in a fight. It's who's your personal favorite.

Well, lets see here...

First one is Roy, obviously. Then I'd go with Banjo. The third one is a bit trickier, I like Malack but I pick 'Kaboom' Redaxe for the nostalgia. And for the last one... Rookie Cop.

Roy, duh

Banjo, even more duh.

Malack, though I do like Redaxe

Daigo, but I'd be fine if either won.

For every new comic published. Capitalising on the post-new comic boo-... slight jump in forum activity, plus I sort of lose interest in this place after two weeks or so since the previous strip.
