Pretty soon we'll have people guessing all the characters' stats and levels. Well, if they didn't get shown every time Legendary does a "menu screen" panel.

Where is Admiral Ackbar in the comic?

Well, until the huge plot twist where the whole thing is revealed to be a tabletop game by people who are getting used to playing DnD rather than FF.

Also, Benedict is Chaotic Neutral.

#84. Just his head, I know, but I counted it.

Here are the rules I used:
1. A "character" is defined as someone who has appeared in the comic and is either given a name and/or has spoken. Anyone else is an "extra" and is not counted.
2. An "appearance" is when a character either appears or speaks.
3. Alternate forms count as 1 appearance of the character overall and 1 appearance in the alternate form. Multiple alternate forms in a single comic of the same character still only count as 1 appearance overall.

Those are the basics. I'll get in stuff like who has been killed by who later, but now that I've got it set up it should be easy to modify.

Updated to Comic #102!

I changed Sarive and Vania's positions in light of this comic's revelation, and figured as best as I could who was Sarive and who was Vania. Basically, I switched them, then subtracted 1 from Sarive and added 1 to Vania for the first comic (which featured Vania and not Sarive as as Vania, which all the other appearances of Vania are.) I counted the villainess version of Sarive, Sarivae, as an appearance of Sarive because otherwise it's Vania as Sarive as Sarivae, which is just confusing.

Really? I just call it "too much time on my hands."

Today's milestones:
Antonio makes his 80th appearance, further cementing his place as the character with the most appearances.

Also, Vania is now tied with Joan for 4th place, at 25 each.

Today's Milestones:
Benedict Iscariot backstabs his way into the pantheon of the Top 8 characters.

Today's Milestones:
Lionel Glenrose makes his 80th appearance. Also, we see the premiere of a new alternate form: Benedict's Half-Batwing Form, as I call it.

General_Nerd · Post by **General_Nerd** » Fri Feb 02, 2007 9:27 am

Today's Milestones:
Carnahan celebrates his 40th appearance, and Vania her 30th. Also, I didn't lump this guard in with the other Avian Guards because he clearly has a different character model. So he's a new character: Nearsighted Guard!

General_Nerd · Post by **General_Nerd** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 8:29 am

After seeing today's comic, I decided Nearsighted Guard wasn't worth being his own character, since all these guards have different character models as well. So I lumped him with the others, mostly because it would be easier.

So...

There's not going to be a character called "Totally Rockin' Mullet Guard?"

Cause that's the only reason I wrote this one.

It's not a mullet unless it is business in the front, party in the back. That front is more like casual, and the back is far from party. Better luck next time dude.

Today's Milestones:
Those lovable but predictable Avian Guards have entered the Top 9.

General_Nerd · Post by **General_Nerd** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 8:43 am

Today's Milestones:

Antonio and Lionel are now tied for first place at 90 each! The suspense! Who will come out on top? Stay tuned!

Today's Milestones:
Okay, it actually happened yesterday, but Lionel is now the leader. It looks like this comic's main character now actually is the main character! Yay!

Also, who is this Disembodied Voice?
