Line 1: {{work}} ~~<!-- comment Any further edit warring over character alignments will result in edit bans. -->~~ == The Linear Guild == {{quote\| '''Lee:''' Destructive [[For the Evulz\|unnecessary]] conflict is pretty much all they do.<br /> '''Qarr:''' ... They look like total morons.<br /> '''Cedrik:''' They are! Isn't it just perfect? }} Line 26 ⟶ 25: == Nale == ~~=== Nale ===~~ {{quote\| ''"Because no one denies me, Elan. Not father, not you, no one."''}} {{quote\| '''Race:''' Human~~<br />~~ '''Gender:''' Male~~<br />~~ '''Class:''' Fighter/Rogue/Sorcerer~~<br />~~ '''Alignment:''' [[Lawful Evil]] }} Line 44 ⟶ 42: * [[Blond Guys Are Evil]] * [[Bond Villain Stupidity]]: He's aware of it, though, and [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0383.html tries to repress his urges]. * [[Boring Insult]]: Nale is so egotistical that calling him unoriginal will [[Spot the Impostor\|make him drop his disguise]]. * [[Bullying a Dragon]]: His first response to seeing {{spoiler\|Malack}} again is to mention his family {{spoiler\|(three of his children had been killed by Nale)}}. Cue [[Curb Stomp Battle\|HARM.]] Doubles as [[Casual Danger Dialog]] -- Nale seems [[Oh Crap\|pretty aware]] he is screwed. * [[But He Sounds Handsome]]: {{quote\| '''Nale-as-Elan:''' After almost being killed by my cunningly clever and devilishly handsome twin brother, Nale, I find that I am looking at everything in a different light.}} * [[Charm Person]] * [[Chessmaster]]: He tries, but events have repeatedly shown that while he's pretty good at putting plans together, he really isn't that hot at ''pulling them off''. Line 67 ⟶ 65: * [[Hair Antennae]] * [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?]]: Has to fight the urge to do this when he takes the place of Elan, and Vaarsuvius nearly catches him smooching Sabine (who quickly turns into a male guard). Sabine then reveals that they ''have'' actually used her shapeshifting for, shall we say, "experimentation". * [[Jerkass]]: Or more specifically... {{quote\| '''Elan:''' [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0351.html ... you're a mean jerk. A jerky jerk. The jerkiest jerk of all.]}} * [[Laughably Evil]]: Nale is a mass-murdering scumbag, but some of his comments are actually pretty funny, as is his massively inflated opinion of himself. * [[Master of None]]: As a multiclass fighter/rogue/sorceror, he has roughly the same set of abilities as his twin, but in an excessively complicated way. Line 89 ⟶ 87: == Sabine == ~~=== Sabine ===~~ {{quote\| ''"...Oh, sorry, I kind of got distracted after you said the word 'three-way'."''}} {{quote\| '''Race:''' Succubus~~<br />~~ '''Gender:''' Female~~<br />~~ '''Class:''' Rogue~~<br />~~ '''Alignment:''' [[Chaotic Evil]] }} Line 102 ⟶ 99: * [[The Ageless]] * [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Sabine inverts this, and [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]], in one fell swoop. {{quote\| '''Sabine:''' Sure, women like me swoon for a hero, but that's only because deep down, we think we can change them. But me, I'm done with that now. I want a nice, safe, reliable mass-murderer that I can depend on.}} * [[Ambiguously Brown]] * [[Anything That Moves]] Line 118 ⟶ 115: * [[Good Wings, Evil Wings]]: The evil kind, naturally. * [[Hell-Bent for Leather]] / [[Lady in Red]]: {{quote\| '''Haley:''' She's wearing red leather. I mean, red leather?? Of '''course''' she's evil!}} * [[Horned Humanoid]] * [[Horny Devils]] * [[I Take Offense to That Last One]]: [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0849.html "Suspicious Agreement"]: {{quote\| '''Malack:''' Is your vapid devil-whore still keeping you aloft?~~<br />~~ '''Sabine:''' HEY! Who are you calling a devil? }} * [[Kiss of Death]]: Her energy-draining kiss. Line 140 ⟶ 137: == Thog == ~~=== Thog ===~~ {{quote\| '''''"thog like breaking stuff."'''''}} {{quote\| '''Race:''' Half-orc~~<br />~~ '''Gender:''' Male~~<br />~~ '''Class:''' Barbarian/Fighter~~<br />~~ '''Alignment:''' [[Chaotic Evil]] }} Line 156 ⟶ 152: * [[Berserk Button]]: It's about the only thing he and Roy remotely have in common. To compare: In [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0114.html strip #114]: {{quote\| '''Roy:''' You broke my sword. YOU BROKE MY SWORD!}} In [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0795.html strip #795]: {{quote\| '''Thog: talky-man broke thog's tusk. TALKY-MAN BROKE THOG'S TUSK!'''}} * [[The Brute]] * [[Bumbling Sidekick]] Line 167 ⟶ 163: * [[Dumb Muscle]]: As a fighter stereotype played straight, he's the complete opposite of Roy. * [[Dump Stat]]: Intelligence ~~<!-- %% EnsembleDarkhorse: Subjective trope, already in the YMMV tab. -->~~ * [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Roy. * [[Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humor]] * [[Face]]: [[Defied Trope]]; no matter how much he may endear himself, he's still a mass-murderer. He's not becoming a good guy anytime soon. {{spoiler\|Unless he's in the gladiatorial arena. Then the crowd '''loves''' him, and he loves them. This turns into the only reason Tarquin doesn't just slit his throat in the night.}} Which the author uses [[In-Universe]] as a [[Take That]] to his [[Draco in Leather Pants]] status. {{quote\| '''Tarquin:''' It's weird, no matter how many people he kills, [[Hypocritical Humor\|the audience still thinks he's lovable]].}} * [[Fourth Wall Observer]]: [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0256.html He liked the Gender Belt subplot] despite not being there (though he may be referring to [[Noodle Incident\|his own use]] of a similar belt), [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0788.html is aware of comic layouts], and unaware of murders he committed off-panel. {{quote\| '''"thog will always treasure thog's adventure with talky-man. it featured non-traditional panel layout."'''~~<br />~~ '''"thog hazy on that. did thog kill them off-panel?"''' }} * [[Girls Have Cooties]]: Thog is afraid of girls, which aside from his stupidity makes him Roy's polar opposite. Line 192 ⟶ 187: * [[Shipped in Shackles]]: The Empire of Blood transports its arena champion [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0786.html in this manner.] * [[Shout-Out]]: <big>'''[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0387.html "thog smash puny prison!!"]'''</big> {{quote\| <small>'''[[Magic Pants\|"how thog's pants turned purple?"]]'''</small>}} * [[Sweet Tooth]] * [[Sticks to the Back]]: His greataxe. * [[Third Person Person]] * [[Turns Red\|Turns Green-er]]: Roy should not have broken his tusk. * [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Like all barbarians, he has the Rage ability (probably Greater Rage if he's around Roy's level) and was able to break open a jail cell and toss Roy around like a rag-doll while under its influence. It also makes him greener and destroys his clothing, in a [[Shout-Out]] to Marvel superhero the [[~~Incredible Hulk (Comic Book)\|~~Incredible Hulk]]. * [[Weapon of Choice]]: A greataxe, in contrast to Roy's sword. Line 204 ⟶ 199: == Zz'dtri == ~~=== Zz'dtri ===~~ {{quote\| ''"..."''}} {{quote\| '''Race:''' Drow elf~~<br />~~ '''Gender:''' Male~~<br />~~ '''Class:''' Wizard (transmuter)~~<br />~~ '''Alignment:''' [[Neutral Evil]] }} A dark elf wizard and V's opposite number; unlike the [[Ambiguous Gender\|ambiguously gendered]] V, he is defined as a male. * [[~~Always Chaotic~~Exclusively Evil]]: [[Double Subversion\|Double subverted]]. * {{spoiler\|[[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: He's built himself up in the third arc specifically to defeat Vaarsuvius. Right up to boosting his own spell resistance to counter the vast majority of Vaarsuvius' spells.}} * [[Anti-Magic]]: As a drow, he has Spell Resistance. Line 222 ⟶ 216: * {{spoiler\|[[Death or Glory Attack]]: See "[[Taking You with Me]]" below.}} * [[Dual-Wielding]]: Twin scimitars. {{quote\| '''Zz'dtri:''' {{color\|gray\|They're standard issue.}}}} * [[Elfeminate]]: Before he cut his hair, giving him a more obviously boyish appearance. * [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Vaarsuvius. Line 232 ⟶ 226: * [[Pointy Ears]] * [[Prophet Eyes]]: {{quote\| '''Blackwing:''' I'm gonna fly up there and pecks your [[Little Orphan Annie]] eyes out!}} * [[Put on a Bus]]: Dragged off by the lawyers for copyright infringement and seemingly written out of the comic. {{spoiler\|"Seemingly" being the operative word. [[The Bus Came Back]], though it took more than ''700 strips''.}} * [[The Quiet One]]: Part of what makes him the talkative V's opposite. Line 241 ⟶ 235: * {{spoiler\|[[Sore Loser]]: During both of his battles with Vaarsuvius, he almost won while they fought using conventional methods. However, Vaarsuvius ultimately prevails in both battles by thinking outside the box. The first time is enough to goad him into gearing his entire build towards defeating Vaarsuvius. The second time he accuses Vaarsuvius of cheating.}} * [[Terse Talker]]: To contrast with [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness\|Vaarsuvius]]. * {{spoiler\|[[Two Aliases, One Character]]: Has been masquerading as the Elven ambassador Polozius.}} * [[Visible Silence]] * [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] Line 248 ⟶ 242: == Hilgya Firehelm == ~~=== Hilgya Firehelm ===~~ {{quote\| ''"Oh, golly, I'm soooo sorry I can't get worked up by what a bunch of dead dwarves think about my personal life. MY personal life, as in MY business."''}} {{quote\| '''Race:''' Dwarf~~<br />~~ '''Gender:''' Female~~<br />~~ '''Class:''' Cleric~~<br />~~ '''Alignment:''' [[Chaotic Evil]] }} Line 260 ⟶ 253: * [[Affably Evil]]: For a [[Chaotic Evil]] priestess of Loki, she's quite the pleasant sort. {{quote\| '''Hilgya:''' Say hello to the nice adventurers.}} * [[Arranged Marriage]]: In her backstory. * [[Distaff Counterpart]]: To Durkon. Line 273 ⟶ 266: == Yikyik == ~~=== Yikyik ===~~ {{quote\| ''"He totally provoked me! He left my threatened area!"''}} {{quote\| '''Race:''' Kobold~~<br />~~ '''Gender:''' Male~~<br />~~ '''Class:''' Ranger~~<br />~~ '''Alignment:''' [[Chaotic Evil]] }} Line 291 ⟶ 283: * [[Lizard Folk]] * [[Nice Hat]]: Belkar makes him ''into'' one. * [[Why Did You Make Me Hit You?]]: He considers someone "leaving his threatened area" (and thus being open for an attack of opportunity) as reason enough to strike. Twice in a row (thanks to the feat "combat reflexes"). Also a [[Mythology Gag]] -- this is the exact language the ''[[Dungeons ~~and~~& Dragons]]'' PHB uses. "Moving out of a threatened square usually '''''provokes''''' an attack of opportunity from the threatening opponent." Line 297 ⟶ 289: == Pompey == ~~=== Pompey ===~~ {{quote\| ''"I hate elves! Stupid oppressive kinsmen, they should all die painfully!"''}} {{quote\| '''Race:''' Half-elf~~<br />~~ '''Gender:''' Male~~<br />~~ '''Class:''' Wizard (conjurer)~~<br />~~ '''Alignment:''' [[Neutral Evil]] }} Line 321 ⟶ 312: == Leeky Windstaff == ~~=== Leeky Windstaff ===~~ {{quote\| ''"Druids always pick the hard way; it encourages natural selection."''}} {{quote\| '''Race:''' Gnome~~<br />~~ '''Gender:''' Male~~<br />~~ '''Class:''' Druid~~<br />~~ '''Alignment:''' [[Neutral Evil]] }} Line 338 ⟶ 328: * [[Evil Gloating]] * [[Kill It with Fire]]: "FIRE STORM!!" {{quote\| '''[[Firestorm]]:''' There it is again!~~<br />~~ '''[[Green Lantern]]:''' You're just being paranoid. No one is talking about you.~~<br />~~ '''[[Batman]]:''' Relax, old chum. }} * [[Large Ham]] / [[Evil Is Hammy]] * [[Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards]]: Geometric Priests. {{quote\| '''Leeky:''' Foolish girl! I am a druid! I have special features more powerful than your entire class!}} * [[Luke Nounverber]] * [[Morphic Resonance]] Line 355 ⟶ 345: == Kitty == ~~=== Kitty ===~~ Leeky's hawk animal companion. Line 366 ⟶ 355: == Yokyok == ~~=== Yokyok ===~~ {{quote\| ''"Hello. My name is Yokyok. You killed my father. Prepare to die."''}} {{quote\| '''Race:''' Kobold~~<br />~~ '''Gender:''' Male~~<br />~~ '''Class:''' Unknown (probably Duelist)~~<br />~~ '''Alignment:''' [[Lawful Good]] (possibly [[Lawful Neutral]] due to his willingness to let Nale and company rampage uncontested for the sake of his vengeance). }} Line 389 ⟶ 377: * [[Shout-Out]] [[Hello]], [[My Name Is Inigo Montoya]], [[You Killed My Father]], [[Prepare to Die]]. {{quote\| '''Belkar:''' STOP SAYING THAT!}} Not to forget [[I Am Not Left-Handed]] -- by holding his sabre with the left hand. * [[Token Good Teammate]]: As the [[Evil Counterpart]] to the Order's [[Token Evil Teammate]], this is to be expected. Line 398 ⟶ 386: == Yukyuk == ~~=== Yukyuk ===~~ {{quote\| ''"Yeeeeehah! Sneak attack!"''}} {{quote\| '''Race:''' Kobold~~<br />~~ '''Gender:''' Male~~<br />~~ '''Class:''' Ranger/Rogue~~<br />~~ '''Alignment:''' Unknown (probably Evil) }} Line 410 ⟶ 397: * {{spoiler\|[[And I Must Scream]]: Belkar and Vaarsuvius force him to become Mr. Scruffy's litter box while he's under V's control. [[Lampshade Hanging\|Lampshaded]] by V, who can hear his screams.}} {{quote\| {{spoiler\|'''Vaarsuvius:''' [[Loves the Sound of Screaming\|His silent screams are a symphony I cannot share]].}}}} * [[Back Stab]] * [[Butt Monkey]]: Some pretty unpleasant things happen to him {{spoiler\|after Vaarsuvius dominates him, including nearly being killed when forced to duel one of his former teammates, being used as a litter tray by Belkar's cat, and being used as a trap springer.}} Line 424 ⟶ 411: * [[Tempting Fate]]: [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0799.html "I guess it's just my lucky day."] * [[Theme Naming]]: Third "Ykyk" kobold in a row, with [[Lampshade Hanging]]: {{quote\| '''Yukyuk:''' What kind of stupid name would "Yakyak" be, anyway?}} * [[Trust Me, I'm an X]]: "You don't need to be scared, I'm a ranger." * [[Turncoat]]: Temporarily, at least, when {{spoiler\|Zz'dtri tries to kill him using Phantasmal Killer after V mind-controls him.}} As the wizard observes, {{spoiler\|he immediately ceases all attempts to resist V's mind controlling orders to shoot Zz'dtri afterwards.}} Line 430 ⟶ 417: == Sir Scraggly == ~~=== Sir Scraggly ===~~ {{quote\| ''"Grrrrr!"''}} Yukyuk's riding dog mount -- thus providing an opposite to Belkar's feline companion.
