8-Bit Theater/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Blood Is the New Black]]: [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2006/09/28/episode-749-murder-by-numbers/ Happened to him] [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2007/04/12/episode-832-character-is-what-you-are-in-the-dark/ a few times].

* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: It's fairly easy to read him as this; over the course of the comics he's used the widest varieties of spells, displayed in-depth knowledge about magical theory(including magics he doesn't personally practice, such as ice and summoning) and history, and as mentioned elsewhere, so long as he's not particularly angry or close to White Mage, he's generally the smartest of the group. He just happens to be insanely lazy, commenting more than once that a battle would go their way if they all actually fought instead of just standing by to let Red Mage get mauled, and not acting on it because it's too much effort. Partly justified by him being a [[Death Seeker]]; he knows that when he dies he becomes one of the single most powerful creatures in existence.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: To the point where the universe itself is geared to hurt him.

* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: He makes no attempt to present himself as anything other than evil, makes absolutely no excuse for [[Person of Mass Destruction|mass-murder and destruction]], and he's [[Insult Backfire|damn well proud of it.]] Red Mage and Thief tend to be [[Somebody Else's Problem|just blind to morality and ethical standards]], but Black Mage can very easily see the moral dilemma of a problem, and he may even argue about the validity of it. ... Of course, he only identifies it so he can go in the completely opposite direction.
