Seeing Roy's dad [spoilers]

[Hiest, monkey]

I can see them meetring in the astral plane. Or maybe roy is a ghost, and non-resurectable, then ethereal plane.

[Impikmin]

I'm sorta thinking Roy's dad is CG. And if Roy was here he would say CE:smallamused:

[holywhippet]

Well, I had thought Roy's father was bound to the throne room to help out and since the castle blew up he might finally be free to roam around. Thing is, they are of different alignments so you'd expect them to wind up on different planes. Roy is LG while his father is probably NG or CG. I'm guessing NG since Roy once commented on how his father would never go back on his word. Then there's the size of the planes and the the fact that Roy's father was a specialised illusionist and it's unknown how much time he spent on divination of if it's one of his forbidden schools.

I'm atually hoping for a Mother-Son reunion. Sure he has Father issues, but his relationship with his mother has never really been touched on.

Hmm, since when was Eugene Greenhilt a part of the Sapphire Guard? Weren't the SG the only ones whose spirits were pledged to defend the Gate after death? Of course, we now all know that their bonds to the mortal realm were severed upon the destruction of the Gate by Miko.

Heh, on an aside... SG(C) defending a (Star)gate... heh-eh.

Good point, man.

He was bound to the summoning circle.

I'm fairly certain Roy's father is LG. He really wanted Roy to follow in his wizarding tradition, had a lifetime vendetta against Xykon for killing his mentor that he passed on to his children. He could be LN, but I think he's LG just because it makes more sense.

Fourth panel. He rigged the summoning so that it'd be him instead of archon "Tony". Besides, Eugene was a master illusionist, was he not? Therefore, wouldn't that mean that he'd be able to deceive those who "summoned" him?

I say he's more leaning toward CG, LN, or TN. If he were out and out LG, then that would have been motivation enough, mechanics-wise, at least, for him to have taken up the ancestral sword and taken a martial class.

[Fitzclowningham]

Eugene wasn't bound to defend the gate. He had been summoned, and was bound to the circle (now gone), and has probably gone back to where he came from.

[Morty]

Ummm... I really don't think Roy's dad is Good. He treats his own son like crap because he didn't choose the same way of life and manipulates him to quench his own thirst for vengeance. Plus, he's rude and arrogant.

[SmartAlec]

While I agree that Eugene certainly drifts over to the Neutral point of the alignment axes (axises? axii?), I tend to think that looking at someone's family or romantic life is a poor way to judge their overall alignment. There's just... too many potential factors.

[Castamir]

I can't see anything good in how Eugene acts, yeah. He happens to be set against Xykon, but only because of personal revenge, not because of giving a damn about the world.
He's not really evil, either. He's rude, but only due to selfishness -- he doesn't enjoy hurting people or anything like that.

I would say he's very strongly Neutral on the Good-Evil scale. And not Lawful, either. CN or TN.

[lord_khaine]

but we know Eugene endet up in the good afterlife, since he was able to head back and replace the good outsider that was being summoned, and in one of the first strips he mentioned playing a game with some archons after having delived a cryptic message to his son.
therefor he kinda have to be both good and lawfull.

[Thanatos 51-50]

I'm not going to argue on the Good-Evil axis, and I don't really care if that gets debated to death: however, I'm going to argue that he is Lawful, my support from the comes from On the Origin of the PCs, and shall therfore be spolier'd

When Eugene comes to visit Roy at Bash U, Roy comments that hes "Not <his> Dad", as his dad is "nothing if not Lawful", and swore to "never talk to <him> again"

well then it really seems like father and son will meet up in the afterlife.

[Emperor Ing]

Oh c'mon guys what are the odds that Rich will devote an entire comic to everybody meeting in the afterlife?

Well, pretty good actually. -_-

[Post]

I bet 5 coins that he won't.

[The Extinguisher]

It's funny. Therefore it will probably happen.
