Yes, I realise that this round is an emphatic endorsement for a smaller tournament. Vote anyway... please?

Celia, Wizard Guy, Bozzok, Sabine.

I liked the wizard more than Roy's mother, quite possibly in large part due to his skeleton being thrown at Roy by Shojo later on. Heh.

First one is rather easy...main hero's love interest vs vile, belkarlike creature. Celia.

Hm...a character without name vs character who appeared only after her death or as a memory. Wizard Guy it is.

I wouldn't mind either one to go to the next round, but my wote is for Bozzok

Sabine, no contest here. Did the archmage guy actually cast anything during the soul splice?

Celia VS Yikyik

Man, that first one is really tough. Do I vote for the loathsome little twirp who's only real personality trait was being an unpleasant pest, or do I vote for Yikyik? I'm kidding, actually. I honestly thought Celia was an interesting character.
Celia

Wizard Guy VS Sara Greenhilt

I think bitter is better than sweet.
Wizard Guy

Bozzok VS Mr. Jones

I like 'em both about the same, so I'll go with... um...
Bozzok
(it'll be a different story with Mr. Rodriguez, though! "Ohmygod! You have a kitty!")

Jephton the Unholy VS Sabine

Easy.
Sabine


I like a little space at the bottom, too

slightly better choices this round. I think it's not going to be long before things start to get really interesting...

Celia (more of a vote against Yikyik than a vote for Celia)

Sara Greenhilt (funny and slutty)

Mr. Jones (because he is somehow powerful enough to defeat Z in one round)

Sabine (but if she'd been against Haera Bloodsoak I'd be voting against her)

Celia, no doubt.

Wizard Guy. Skeleton.

Bozzok. Big half-orc rogue bloke that rules a guild of thieves.

Jephton the Unholy.

I personally like this random tournament structure!

Yikyik. I really dislike Celia.
Sara Greenhilt. She's great, and the time in the upper plane was one of my favorite parts of the comic.
Bozzok. Tough one. I like Jones a lot, but I always had a soft spot for Bozzy. He's an ass, but he's a cool character.
Sabine

Celia I assume this will be a legal battle.

Wizard Guy They're both dead and he is a wizard. Remeber, we don't know if Sara is a good baker too.

Mr. Jones Legal battle.

Jephton I'm going with a hunch. I have no idea who would be the better baker and/or lawyer.

Celia (agree with Smolder: more of a vote against Yikyik than a vote for Celia, because to me she was in fact that "loathsome little twirp who's only real personality trait was being an unpleasant pest" -- thanks Boogastreehouse for the wording...)

Wizard Guy (I just didn't find Sara Greenhilt interesting, though between her and her husband I can see how the kids turned out the way they did)

Bozzok (again, agree with Boogastreehouse: because it would be a different story with Mr. Rodriguez, though! "Ohmygod! You have a kitty!", so again it is less an endorsement of one character than a chastisement of another)

Sabine (finally, one that I have an actual clear preference due to the character itself -- Sabine is much more interesting than Jephton the Unholy)

I'm pretty sure the OP used the first 96 characters from the Character Appearances Thread.
