    Default Fear

    What do you think each characters biggest phobia/fear is? Looking back at the dream sequence, I wonder what the opposite would be like. Their fear could be something happening to them, something happening to someone else, or a certain creature or object. I'm not just talking about slight scare, I'm talking about biggest fear. Here are my ideas:

    Durkon: A tree-beard
    Roy: Xykon's rotten, but preserved, appendix
    Belkar: Immortality
    Haley: The taxman
    Elan: Aunt Laurin
    V: Nyarlathotep crouching in the bushes

    And some more:

    Xykon: The letter Z
    Redcloak: The Colour Purple
    MITD: UV lights
    Nale: Hell
    Tarquin: Money
    Miron: His own spells
    Lee: Nero
    Nero: Lee

    And as a special extra for those who obtained the Collector's Edition of this thread:

    Yuki Akuma: Haley's Razor
    Kish: Me
    Vinsfeld: A frog's kiss
    Roland: The law
    Luna_Mayflower: D... oh, you nearly got me there!

    Immortality for Belkar?
    He didn't die in his dream, he died in the other guys' dream, so that's not the opposite.

    Maybe if he was diabetic so he couldn't drink?
    Or even old and wheelchair-bound in a nursing home, unable to kill anything and relying on others for help.

    That just means he can hurt them more. He can make them beg for death that will never come.

    I think Belkar would genuinely fear being immortal. He has changed since the mark of justice, and I think he doesn't want to continue hurting people forever. If he dies in a blaze of glory helping his team I think that would honestly make him happy, but if he lives forever the order of the stick will be gone and he will still be there, alone, and truly afraid.

    Why would Malack fear diabetics? Depending on their control of it, it would just mean they have sweeter tasting blood to mix things up.

    Unless they had absolutely no control and the blood was festooned with ketones: It would make his meal more acidic and maybe give him heartburn.

    Innocent? The monster attacked the OOTS the second they appeared, without even saying a word. V might like to think it's all her fault, but, while she was a little overboard with the mass slaughter, acting in defence.

    Really? There's a strip for you between the strip that shows the black dragon staring at the Order, and the strip that skips to the combat already in progress, that shows who attacks first? Huh, it's totally not loading for me.

    It's ok, I know you fear me, but we can find the truth together. And the order were scared of the dragon, I doubt they would have attacked first, or fought at all if they could avoid it.

    Anyway, please let's not make this another V's moral's thread. Let's get back to... fear.

    If you don't want to continue the argument you started, why is the first half of the post in which you ask that it not be continued you reasserting your position?

    "Why I hate Jake/Malack" is new and amusing. "From Malack With Love" is new and amusing." "It's beginning to look a lot like Durkons" is new and amusing.

    "Why the young black dragon should be assumed to have behaved in a way that justifies killing him" is old and dull.

    Redcloak worst fears:
    - Xykon turning on him.
    - Losing the control he think he has
    - His brother. Looking at his empty eye.
    - Me
    - The Shappire Guard, in a Shappire Jaegger, dropping the head of The Dark One at his feet, killed by the paladins. As he loses his powers, as every cleric in gobbotopia loses his powers, and the Crimson Mantle turns to dust, The Azure Jaegger grabs the one-eyed gobbo, breaking every bone in his body with his implacable hand of steel and titanium, and then O'Chul, the main pilot, just say "Where is your god now? Ah... yes, I know: It is in a lot of places. And pieces. As you shall be. But not too soon".

    Then, when he has all his Atributes to 1, use another WISH, to know what is exactly the way in wich the Crimson Mantle can be utterly destroyed, what consecuences will carry that destruction and ways to prevent damage from that destruction.

    And destroy the crimson mantle in front of Redcloak.

    Then torture him to death for a last time.


    Lastly, I would ask for Atonement and go to "Living la vida loca"

    Well, that sounds like fighting talk! You have offended me sir, and now we must fight. Thing is, about three days ago, I talked to Redcloak. We became the best of friends. We promised to fight for each other. Now, you have threatened my blood brother!

    You realise the "consecuences" will never be the same!

    Also, as a note, if he had 0 INT, WIS and CHA, I'm pretty sure he would be in a coma or the like and unable to feel pain, or anything.

    Man I love these threads. I think most of the characters fears have been covered quite adequately. I would bet Tarquin's would be a poorly written short story by an illiterate high school student. Or an amateur author writing a crappy novel in Starbucks.

    I believe across the ocean it is called Stand Your Ground Law. What would you do, if a bunch of armed murderous adventurers invaded your home, and you knew you had something precious they may be after? It was self-defense.

    Laurin: Being exposed as an evil tyrantess (or is it tyrantrix?) and executed in front of her daughter.

    Miko: Understanding, that she has been wrong. All her life. And had never been a true Paladin, for she was never really Good. (Hope that's what's actually happened when she died).

    Black Dragon Mother: Bringing death to her countless relatives and friends in a just attempt to avenge her horribly murdered innocent child.
