Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Another good example of "you can be pretty old before getting wrinkles" - Shojo:
Completely wrinkle-less as of "Meat Loaf Day" - grey hair
https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0289.html
and this only takes place "a few years" before War & XPs. He was 77 in War & XPs. And didn't appear to be putting up a senility facade in HtPGtS (possibly because Mr Scruffy hadn't been born yet - he was 6 in War & XPs - which would be consistent with Shojo buying him as a kitten specifically for the facade, maybe a couple of years or so after the Meat Loaf Day incident).
He has very slight eye bags in HtPGtS, but no other wrinkles.
So, with a character who is bald and beardless, like Former Supreme Leader, one might expect there to be a lack of ageing clues if he's the same guy as in HtPGhS.Last edited by hamishspence; 2020-06-26 at 10:16 AM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Yeah, I don't think Jirix is the Supreme Leader.
SpoilerI do think we're supposed to think the guy who ascends to Supreme Leader in How the Paladin Got His Scar is the same one Redcloak meets in #149. It's not, strictly speaking, provable.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
My money's on the mysterious green voice, since the orange voice called them "Boss". I haven't waded through this thread to see if anyone else has mentioned this, though... I guess I should.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Both the green and orange voices would be extremely unsatisfying answers since we knew as soon as #1189 went up that there was a mystery there that would keep us guessing until the resolution dropped. Rich hinting "Hey, there's another mystery for you guys to guess about!" would be a total waste of an exciting hint if it turned out to refer to the same mystery.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Not only unsatisfying, but it would also be a lie on Rich's part. The comment was that someone who has appeared in one page of the story "so far" would become a powerful ally, and that was written in the commentary before page 1178. The green and orange voices appeared on page 1189.

He also said it's something we're not expecting. I'm sure everyone expects the green and orange voices to be important.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Jirix' mom only appears in one page (703), I believe. Maybe she scolds him into giving up Gobbotopia.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
how about Banjulhu?
To find in order to lose; To fall in order to stand up
To freeze in order to ignite; To find myself within, and not fear the edge
To die in order to be reborn to the new world

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Okay, just had an idea.
If Durkon’s negotiations with Redcloak are going to go anywhere, Thor and Durkon are going to need some allies among the gods who are willing to make concessions. Are there any gods or demigods in the Godsmoot who appear only on one page and seem like possible allies?
EDIT: Scratch that, none of the gods except for Loki, Heimdall and Hel are actually visible on-panel during the godsmoot. Just their high priests.Last edited by LadyEowyn; 2020-07-09 at 09:37 PM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I confess I didn't wade through the full page count (perhaps someone could edit their post on page one to tally suggestions already? The thread is getting bulky). But of the four or five pages I waded through, I think there is something to this. On my last re read, I noticed the comment to Roy's archon, and paid attention for any fulfilment of it. I have not seen any. What possible characters could Roy's Archon have any access to (directly or indirectly) that would fit the single-physical page bill?
ETA: By indirectly, the archon could communicate via somebody through someone like Tony, when a cleric summons a celestial?Last edited by Neponde; 2020-07-15 at 01:32 AM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I will play the long shot (worked out before) and say Animal Messenger caster (panel 1).
They have the same colouration as the Elf leader (who the animal goes to - panel 5), but don't seem to appear in any other pages that I have noted (including seemingly when Redcloak crushes the resistance) - where other members do get reused (including - I think - the blue haired one that tells them to 'send it').
Seems odd to delibrately forget about them after making them somewhat distinctive looking.Last edited by dancrilis; 2020-07-15 at 06:26 AM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Well it presumedly doesn't involve meeting Roy again, and Roy would not have known about the god stuff at the time, nor about the phylactery or Redcloak for that matter, and Roy's Archon would have little sway to convince any Celestial to help Roy with a vaguely defined plan.
My assumption until the comic shows otherwise is Roy asked them to secure a private place for him before his next stay, close too but seperate from his mother's as he doesn't want any chance of overhearing her activities but would like to visit easily.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
My guess: try to raise Eric. Previous attempts failed because Eric didn't come when called. But with the archon standing by, ready to encourage Eric to accept the call, it might work.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Quite possibly you'd need True Resurrection to bring Eric back at this point, as his remains may well have decayed to dust by now.
There were some theories about Roy's Archon's mission, back when book 4 was wrapping up. That was years ago.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I'll nominate Yellow Plume Bodyguard from strip #998
So mulling it over, I was drawn, as many were, to the Godsmoot because there are lots of powerful characters there, it's geographically close to where the Order is now, and those characters would have motivations for following the Order. Of course the Gods are out because they can't interfere, and the high priests are locked in the room. Bodyguards and guests are prohibited from attacking other high priests, but not from leaving, and as I was rereading I noted that in #998 there's a female knight with a yellow helmet plume in the gallery with Roy who says "Destroy the world? Why??"
Every other character on the balcony or in the room appears in different strips*. She's out of frame every other time the action cuts to the balcony- the only Godsmoot bodyguard who appears only once. I don't have any sensible way to sort out whose bodyguard she would be. Her pale yellow tabard looks most like Sunna's high priest garb, but it could be anyone.
*I've seen some use 'page' here as in page in the eventual printed book and some as in web page. I think it's ambiguous enough that either is acceptable for a guess. Yellow Plume Bodyguard does appear on the other book pages that compose strip #998.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Indeed; not only is he in Celestia, he's also with his mommy in Celestia. I have a toddler, and I can wager that if one were in a place that made him happy at all times, and he had his mommy to boot, he would probably never want to leave. Getting rezzed is a decision for more mature people, I'd hardly expect a baby to do it. That being said, I have a toddler, so I don't think I'd say a word if Roy wanted to be able to give the little guy a chance to grow up with him. I just don't expect it.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I have kids too, and had similar thoughts. I'd do anything to get a kid back if I lost one, certainly- but if I knew for certain, having seen with my own eyes, that one of my babies was in an afterlife of eternal bliss... I wouldn't resurrect them, as much as that hurts. I wouldn't think Roy would, either.
