O-chul doesnt need battle scarring to be a bad ass

[theinsulabot]

but it helps.


seriously, check out that ****, if you look at the lower right part of his torso, theres the beginning of a jagged scar and a jagged scar on the upper left part. it looks like somebody took something, sharp, and shoved it right through his rib cage, heart and lungs. which goes way beyond alive but with negative hit points, which brings to mind a truly scary thought. most people say they couldn't of killed o-chul because he would never of accepted the rez and instead gone to his rest. but we just saw that o-chul was willing to handle weeks of torture just to get through to MitD. so what if o-chul actually had been tortured to death. many, many times, and had been willingly resurrected each time and tortured more, just for the chance to turn MitD or to maybe help the enslaved azurites

i have to read the archives more often. wrong scar though, but interestingly, i note the scar set i was referring to in that old panel as well. in fact, you can see it a little better in that one. jagged near the shoulder, and a cut near his hips, on a straight line

EDIT, but, then again, rereading that whole set, o-chul already has that scar set, and RC says he hasn't attempted a rez. so while still (frighteningly) possible, apparently whatever caused that is yet another thing o-chul has actually lived through

And later, O-chul tells MitD that he doesn't believe he's gotten any more scars that day.

Well, the scars is thr result of having mid-20's constitution score.

So, O-Chul has a movie coming out then.

....I wonder when he had time to get his skeleton plated with adamantium... must have been offscreen.

[Ancalagon]

He was born with the adamantium skeleton. But only wait until you see his claws, they are made of bilver!

A stab through the rib cage doesn't mean "dead" automatically. Think of how long it takes someone to die now if they get shot in the chest--it's usually not instant; people can survive it if you take them to the ER and they're sufficiently lucky. People have actually walked around with chest wounds, though obviously not for long.

Nine hit points, from -1 to dead, take 54 seconds to lose. An unconscious, bleeding character would have about a minute for someone to slap a Cure spell on him or do first aid to stabilize. People in the Real World often stay conscious and/or survive longer than that without care, so even with realism (which is iffy in a world with cure spells and X's over dead eyes), it's not necessary to even assume you would have to be in the negatives after a chest wound.

It would, of course, be more realistic to bleed (reduce HP constantly) after a significant injury; but it involves too much bookkeeping, and I don't blame the writers for not including it. There are weapons and probably spells that cause it specifically, though.

Would O-Chul accept Resurrection from Redcloak, Jirix, or Tsukiko if necessary? Yes; but you have to remember that it does cost XP to the caster, so they probably wouldn't have been doing it repeatedly.

Would O-Chul accept Resurrection from Redcloak, Jirix, or Tsukiko if necessary?

I wouldn't be so sure. As duty-bound as O-Chul is, he's still going to ask himself "what can be accomplished". For him to accept a resurrection from the evil camp, there would have to be some obvious chance to achieve some good.

With Xykon hanging around, that's unlikely.

in the latest strip we learned o-chul had a very real chance to escape weeks ago, that bar had been lose for quite some time. he stayed because he wanted to educate MitD.

And because he saw that MitD has a good heart. Such a thing has to be nurtured to grow, survive, and thrive in an environment such as MitD has been forced to live in. Think of how Harry Potter might have turned out if his foster family had never let him OUT of the "cupboard-under-the-stairs."

The fact that O'Chul has had such an impact is seen in the last panel, when MitD finally uses O'Chul's name to call to him instead of the silly nickname he gave him when he first found him ... the reality of permanent separation from the one person who has treated him with kindness and dignity has finally broken through. The real question is: Will this tiny, feeble seed be able to grow when MitD's only reminder of O'Chul is some mindless zombie wandering around with his face.

Sigging this.
