I everyone. As everyone seems to like polls, I thought I would give it a go. Please let me what you all think. :biggrin:

[obvious disclaimer]While I can't say that I'm personally attracted to any of the 2D stick-figure characters...[/disclaimer]

I think you have too many poll options. It's a comic primarily about DnD and primarily aimed at DnD gamers. There is therefore only one real option...

:haley:
She's a supple, limber, witty, diamond-in-the-rough redhead with a heart of gold. Ladi... *koff* Gentlemen, I present your flexible friend, everyone's favourite speech-impaired rogue. And just for the extra geekish, fanboy, never-gonna-get-any-anyway gamer appeal, she's got latent bisexual tendencies. Win.

hmmm... i chose haley as well, choosing V might have lead to uncomfortable doubts regarding my sexuality, seeing how much doubt there is to her/his gender. I was also tempted to pick "There stick figures dude, get a life".

I think you'll find this poll to be gender-biased, as there are one (maybe two) distinct choices for those attracted to females, and four (maybe five) for those attracted to males. Common wisdom indicates you're going to find far more of the former on the internet, especially reading webcomics about D&D, but I'm interested to see how that plays out statistically.

Anyways, Haley.

Don't know why, but I find naked Vaarsuvius (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0186.html) to be quite hot. It might just be circlet-less Vaarsuvius, really... the way that stray strand of purple hair falls into his/her eyes... :smallredface:

Or it could be that I really need to get out more.

Or possibly both. :smallsmile:

Elan. Bard, 18 Charisma, has gotten propositioned by more people than any other character. Haley has a pretty good charisma, but nowhere near Elan's. Then there's the scar. Scars can look good on certain people, but it's kind of unclear how it would work with her (if she were drawn out in a less stick figure-y fashion).

That is no scar, it is a lock of hair.
Confused it with scar first time too.

Within the OotS, easy choice for this straight male - Haley.

Kind of expected more NPC choices - Julia, Sabine, Miko, Samantha, Celia, "girl in town selling apples", "Elan's Illusionary She-Orc". Just for a nice range.

Was also *very* tempted by "There stick figures dude, get a life" option. But since you maybe really want to know who is the hottest here's my reply: Roy. I just love them muscular fighters :smallredface: And he also isn't dumb like most of them. What else a girl could want? :smallamused:

Ya I thought that in the first strip or two but you'll notice that it moves, especially when she does the flips to check for traps (you know way back in the beginning) so ya it's just hair.

And clearly if you are attracted by females then the only choice would be Haley

Looks like I must have Belkar's spot check. Anyway, even without the scar, I'll still go with Elan as hottest (regardless of gender). Nobody outside the group (excluding Nale) has ever made a pass at her. Even female Roy (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0235.html) had that happen once. Haley has a lower charisma score than Samantha (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0161.html), who probably has a comparable score to Elan. So, Elan it is.

Haley. See 'wardrobe malfunction,' 'flirt,' 'teasing Elan,' etc. She even got Nale's attention. Celia's a close second. Gotta dig a chick with wings, and I'm more of a Neutral-Good guy myself, so I would stay away from Sabine.

I'm secure enough in my masculinity to take a stab at the guys as well. My vote in that regard goes to Elan for all the reasons everyone else has already stated. But you gotta give props to Vaarsuvius for (sometimes) being of interest to members of both sexes. Besides which, V is already married unlike the rest of OOTS. V's ambiguous gender is like Rich reached right into my Sociology classes and dragged out the bit about gender roles. There's no longer just two options anymore, so as well as having elf-appeal, V is also a modern persona. Bet ya never expected that from an elf.

Haley.

Although that's only in the Order.

mikeejimbo
2006-12-01, 10:46 PM
I decided my love for Elan is enough to overlook my gender preference and vote for him.

If it was a personal choice, Haley, but I think overall, Elan.

Demented
2006-12-01, 11:12 PM
Not only is V uninentionally hot, but there aren't any gender preferences to worry about!


...That may be a lie.

Charity322
2006-12-02, 12:05 AM
Anyone reckon the least hottest is Belkar?

Roy was hot enough to get Celia, plus got hit on when he was a girl.

V is married, plus attracted Belkar at one point.

Elan bagged Samantha and attracted that girl in Azure city, plus attracted Haley and has the highest charisma.

Haley is obviously sexy due to the reaction to her losing her top while checking traps and she did almost seduce that teenage goblin. :smallbiggrin:

Even Durkon must be hot by dwarf standards because he attracted Hilgya.

Whereas Belkar has to pay for his girls ... :smalltongue:

Vaarsuvius, hands down. Educated, courteous, rightfully confident and looking very sexy indeed with his (?) hair down. Besides, the gender ambivalence would pique my interest.

Amon Star
2006-12-02, 09:21 AM
Thank you all for taking part & leaving your commentary. In case you where wondering, this poll is mostly a joke, (Mostly), hence the last two options. But as I said earlier, I'm glad so many of you did it anyway. :smile:


Don't know why, but I find naked Vaarsuvius (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0186.html) to be quite hot. It might just be circlet-less Vaarsuvius, really... the way that stray strand of purple hair falls into his/her eyes... :smallredface:

Quoted for truth.


Kind of expected more NPC choices - Julia, Sabine, Miko, Samantha, Celia, "girl in town selling apples", "Elan's Illusionary She-Orc". Just for a nice range.

They can be in my next poll. :tongue:

RPG characters are often pretty (gamers like that sort of thing) but many in the OotS are attractive and interesting othervice too.

Pretty much everybody actually. I'm sure even Belkar has some punk bad boy looks, but he's too messed up to be sexy.

Othervice:

Roy
Haley
Varsuuvius
Elan

Not in any particular order. Elan may be too childlike to be hot as such, but he's nice and has that pretty-boy thing going for him.

I can't decide! :smalleek:

the_tick_rules
2006-12-02, 09:20 PM
Well Haley is the only confirmed woman so my choices were limited. Though the stick thighs make her appear to have huge hips, but it's a stick comic, not a centerfold lol.

Athalos
2006-12-02, 10:51 PM
From a gender neutral standpoint Elan.

For my tastes, if V is a girl then s/he would win. Gotta love a chick that will use a dragons tail for cover, and then blast it into ash. Otherwise Haley is the only choice for guys.

Terraxos
2006-12-03, 12:10 AM
From my own point of view, the only female characters in the Order are Haley and (questionably) Varsuvius; since it was obvious that Haley would win, my vote went to V instead. Actually, that's not the only reason: V seems like s/he would be more fun to be around. S/he is self-confident to the point of arrogance, so s/he genuinely doesn't care what anyone else thinks of him/her (an admirable trait, in my view); and I would share his/her view of blowing things up with fireballs. :smallsmile: Whereas Haley can't speak and suffers from a variety of debilitating psychological complexes. Not such an easy decision after all, is it?

If I was into guys, there'd be more options: Elan undoubtedly has the highest Charisma, but I'm sure his childlike innocence would go from 'cute' to 'annoying' way too quickly. Durkon is a little too much of a goody-two-shoes, and while Roy seems to have the most normal personality of the lot, he is a bit too focused on his heroic quest. So I would instead go for, you guessed it, Belkar! Sure, he's a homicidal maniac, but you just know he'd never be boring... not to mention, frequently hilarious.

Hmm, V and Belkar: what does that say about me as a person? Perhaps it's best not to dwell on it!

roscoe
2006-12-05, 09:43 AM
all I can say is: this poll is wrong... just wrong!!!
But I went ahead anyways and voted Haley... hey what is a guy to do? She is nice and pretty and wears leather has red hair is funny intelligent and not to full of herself due to low selfesteem.
But ruling her out I'd go for the funny not existing answer: Elan's imaginary female ogre.... just because it would be funny.

The_Phantom_Penguin
2006-12-05, 11:21 AM
...um, well, as tempted as I am to say that they're just stick figures, I'm going to say Elan. Because he reminds me of a character from a video game I play and I just want to hug him.

V-Fan
2006-12-05, 05:26 PM
I'd vote for my favorite Norse God, Loki, if he was on there. But alas, I have to vote for my non-gender-biased friend, Vaarsuvius. I mean, come on, no matter which way you look at him/her, you gotta find him/her hot. Precisely because feminine guys are a must-have for any fangirl and I'm sure guys like girls that can kick some ass. So, no matter which gender V truly is, s/he wins. ^^

Shadow of the Sun
2006-12-05, 05:40 PM
I would personally have to say V. Someone with long, purple hair (my favourite colour, FYI), very intelligent (In DnD I get a characters IQ by multiplying there Intelligence score by 10), and otherworldly powerful. Immediately hot, regardless of gender, although I would probably lose interest is s/he was a she.

Krytha
2006-12-06, 03:04 PM
Don't you mean if s/he wa a he?

I also put down V, just cuz, you know - those androgynous twit elves... -they're hot...

I like Sabine - she is so freakin hot :)

Imagine a chick that can shapeshift just for you and the seduction part after the fight with Roy was just too hot to be true!

Definitely Sabine
a.) Can't blame it on her looks, shes a shapeshifter
b.) Relationship long and peaceful because of rituals
c.) Likes to enjoy the physical aspect of the relation
d.) Teenager outfits kick ass! :)

Dausuul
2007-02-12, 10:58 PM
As with so many folks here, I'm a straight male, so my options are V and Haley (assuming for the sake of argument that V is female).

Out of those two, I pick Haley, for the following reasons:

#1. Haley has a sense of humor. As far as I can tell, V is utterly lacking in this department.
#2. Haley is obviously much more inventive and creative than V. Anybody can be a bad-ass playing a high-level wizard, but Haley manages to be effective in combat despite being an archer rogue. I mean, how many people would realize that you can, by RAW, sneak attack with a head-butt?
#3. Haley has breasts large enough that it's possible to be sure they exist. What can I say, I'm a man of simple tastes.

If we expand the poll to include important female NPCs... well, Sabine is the hottest in purely physical terms. I mean, she is an incarnation of evil illicit sex, after all. But I'd still pick Haley if I were choosing someone to date.

...uh, I mean, if I were dating stick figures.

Yeah. Going away now.

Also "Elan and Haley." (The Vaarsuvius here looks quite cool, but for sheer beauty, Haley blows her/im out of the water.)

Haruki-kun
2007-02-14, 12:01 PM
because she is the ONLY female, and I'm a guy, I say Haley, of course.

Why? Well, I favor saying that V's a male, so there, Haley's the only choice.

(Please don't debate me on V's gender, use another thread for that)

Any discussion of hotness in OOTS has to include non-party members like Sabine, Miko, and Hinjo to be even remotely valid.
