Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Figured I'd make a thread where people can speculate who this might be, as mentioned in the preview for Book 7:

Ms. Toormuck only appeared in Shojo's tale.

Orange Voice seems like the most obvious prospect.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
My vote is Serini, though she has appeared in 7 pages as per the appearance thread... she has 1 as a drawing and the rest as crayon flashbacks. All of that said, the total list of available people seems really short.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
The wording on the Giant's statement is interesting. It could mean this character's never appeared in any of the prequel stories. It could also mean that they've exclusively appeared in one of the prequel stories. Probably the former, since Start of Darkness and the like aren't intended to be mandatory reading to follow the plot of the comic, but still, interesting.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Shoulderpad Guy, assuming we mean the one from the Vector Legion, is in fact in at least two pages- one in a flashback to Tarquin talking to the Vector Legion and pitching his plan to them, and one in a cutaway to him and Miron advising the Weeping King.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
What are Elan's thrice-repeated syllable that could be said about the Unknown Energy that felled the paladins? Has it anything to do with this?

I don’t think Shoulderpad guy counts if he was in H&J as Gift says.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
More that he didn't clarify what appearance meant. So, is he counting any kind of visual representation, like we do for the thread; or is it specifically an appearance on camera. So do in character drawings count? Do flash backs? ( my thought is yes on the flashbacks, though maybe crayon drawings dont?)
We know he likes to be tricksy and clever, so I'm going with there is some form of trickery afoot.
On a more serious thought, how many pages did the gnome artificer lady appear on... She might be helpful, if singularly unable to get there.Now, Back to Lurking!

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Elan's signature "Dun dun dun".
Anyway, for whatever reason, my first instinct was The King of Nowhere. Obviously, that makes no sense, because he's nowhere (heh) near that far north.
If we want wacky and zany guesses, the Grimm Reaper has appeared in a single gag panel and never in any of the prequels. He might have something to do with Belkar.
But since Serini Toormuck, the obvious choice, appears in more than one page, the only thing that would make sense to me is an Eastern God. A lot of them are only on one page. Apollo, Artemis, etc. It's possible that one of them actually escaped the Snarl, maybe inside the Starmetal or something, since it's associated with Green and Roy's sword. But that's still pretty crack pot for my tastes

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Okay, two semi serious considerations. Both are currently dead, but could maybe get involved somehow.
Orrin Draketooth and Mia Starshine, Haleys Mom. I think most, but not all of the eastern gods might be a consideration as well.
I'm still banking on Serini, personally. And Redcloaks niece has had too many pages for sure, but could still come into play before the end of the story.
Is it weird that The Justice League is likely to be the strongest contenders for a while?Now, Back to Lurking!

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I'm pretty sure H&J technically isn't a prequel, so it probably doesn't count.
But it's pretty clear who it is. It's obviously going to be Sir Thumb the Digit Knight.Last edited by Aeliren; 2019-12-10 at 11:25 PM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
okay, Serinni is disqualified.
That means it must be Batman.
I will have to read the 'Number of Character Appearances' topic before I reread the comic.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
If we're getting technical, I don't think Haleo & Julelan counts as a prequel; it's really an alternate continuity (similar to Snips Snails & Dragon Tales).
Shoulder Pads Guy, or one of the two voices we just met, seem like the most straightforward to me, but I'd have to think about it some more. I thought I had an interesting answer from one of the prequels, but it turned out to not meet the requirements of only one page of appearances.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Obviously it's the Displacer Beasts!
On a more serious note, what about the people Hinjo was talking to when he got the sending from the oots? He was negotiating with someone. Maybe they can send a party to help or something just like he got the elves to send help to the resistance?
Another weird option? Tiamat
She technically appeared once if I recall, despite being mentioned by the oracle and the IFCC
