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

Re: Fear
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.

And Belkar is afraid of other people being immortal, so he can't kill them see?

Re: Fear
Spoiler
So the song runs on, with shift and change,
Through the years that have no name,
And the late notes soar to a higher range,
But the theme is still the same.
Man's battle-cry and the guns' reply
Blend in with the old, old rhyme
That was traced in the score of the strata marks
While millenniums winked like campfire sparks
Down the winds of unguessed time. -- 4th Stanza, The Bad Lands, Badger Clark

Re: Fear
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.

Re: Fear
Durkon: Thor deciding to become the patron god of trees.
Roy: Having his sword destroyed by Xykon in such a way that it can never be re-forged, while Xykon calls him "Loyd redblade" and his friends are all being killed by magic-resistant undeads that only his sword can destroy.
Belkar: Being cursed in such a fashion that whenever he felt the desire to kill someone, he would be forced to compliment them, with a smile. And whenever he tried to kill someone, he would instead kneel on the ground and praise their glory. Oh, and he would be rendered impotent.
Haley: Elan hooking up with assassin girl.
Elan: A silence spell
Varsuuvius: Familicide accidentally killing his/her family OR Belkar's penis.
Xykon: Someone that he is wholly unable to kill drinking horrible coffee in front of him.
Redcloak: Right-eye being resurrected.
MITD: Famine.
Tarquin: Being narratively insignificant.Last edited by Drakilian; 2013-11-17 at 10:14 PM.
Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

Re: Fear
Let's keep this depressive.
Roy: Eugene's experiments.
Durkon: Prophecy, that he will die in a far-away land, without proper burial, be turned into a vicious undead monster and bring ruination to his homeland.
Elan: Being cheated by Roy and left alone in some god-forsaken inn.
Haley: Elan betraying her and her father to Tarquin.
Belkar: Death of Mr. Scruffy.
V: Loss of all magical power and hir soul in a futile attempt to save his friends and family. And being blamed for that.
Xykon: The Great Fire Below. Just fire, with no coffee, no demons to crack jokes to - nothing. Just pain and regret and boredom.
Redcloak: Seeing the faces of all the goblinoids he sacrificed for his quest, after he failed, with Right-Eye in front.
MITD: Being mind-controlled to murder O-Chul.
Tarquin: Being absentmindedly annihilated by some random villain, without effort, second thought, or any care about role or theme or legacy.
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).
Soon: Lies, treachery and illusion proving to be a better safeguard for a gate, than any honour unbreakable.
Black Dragon Mother: Bringing death to her countless relatives and friends in a just attempt to avenge her horribly murdered innocent child.Last edited by Trillium; 2013-11-18 at 04:21 AM.

Re: Fear
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."They couldn't know that the points from the mainline to the siding were frozen, and the signal should have been set at 'DANGER', but snow had forced it down."

Re: Fear
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.

Re: Fear
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.

Re: 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.Last edited by Kish; 2013-11-18 at 08:04 AM.

You know, you really make a better fear for Tarquin than for me.

Re: Fear
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".
I think that Redcloak is living in fear.

Re: Fear
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.Last edited by Luna_Mayflower; 2013-11-18 at 08:41 PM.

Re: Fear
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.
