#787: "You've got me? Who's got you?"
 

Been waiting to introduce this character for a couple years. This isn't how I planned to bring him in, but it'll make a nice pre-cameo. Kinda like how Thief showed up before his full role was disclosed.

Ooooo.... Dragoon! My favorite! Now you have me curious about this guy.

Why did that land in snow? I thought that Leifen was in a run down desert kind of area...

You forget who fired the cannon...

Gwuh?

Also, why didn't Black Mage cast Feather Fall?

...Oh, right, universe existing to hurt him and all that.

Well, it's called feather *fall*, not feather *blasted upwards*. Also, he was being struck through the lungs when he started to fall, so he probably didn't have the chance to cast it.

Also also, is the new guy named Twoflower, by any chance?

All I can say, is zoom.

Hm...valid point...but then if the Dragoon was meant to find BM...wouldnt he have been in the air in the direction to Leifin and not to wherever the snowy hell they ended up?

Looks more like he was stabbed through the leg to me...
This comic really didn't do it for me. Sorry. Not sure why, but it just... didn't.

The thread should have been titled "Why is this my life?"

You know it's true don't even lie.

I believe I saw a Superman reference in there somewhere. Which line was it? Damnation I cant point it out anymore, its way to subtle, too hidden.

Course Change: Changing the Course?

New characters always make for great comics.

As far as I can tell on this half-bright monitor, that last panel looks more like a salt plain or a white-sand beach than a snowfield. The minor perturbations on the ground seem too numerous and extreme for snow, and the granularity of the particles from the ensuing explosion look too coarse.

In other news, you can make anyone believe anything if you speak like an expert and utilize words of a sufficient size.

As an aside, I can't believe that Dragoon doesn't yet have five (8) Wikipedia articles devoted to cataloguing his Character Traits, Driving Motivation, Hidden Past, Ulterior Motives, Other Character Traits, Special Attacks, and What He Did During His Summer Vacation. Travesty!

Well the Dragoon whoever he may be, did knock BM off of his original course for Lefein. Hence the title of the comic. >_>

You're talking about in Superman 3, where they shot Richard Pryor out of a cannon, right?

No, no, it's not a reference on Superman, fifth. It's Dragoon who is secretly Superman, himself. See, I know how plot twists go. This is one I've knabbed in the butt. I know it.

A new character is always a great thing to see in a comic with so many small roles and four main roles. I've always enjoyed seeing characters pop up in 8-Bit. Where did the Warriors of Dark go anyway? Are they even still in the plot? Who knows. All we know is Dragoo-- I mean.. Superman... is the coolest character on the block now, besides Fighter. Since Fighter is everyone's favourite. Superman's just the new kid on the block. Like.... J. Lo, or Jordan Knight. You know how the saying goes. Dragoon is receting, but Fighter is always beauty... or something like that.

Sweet comic, and yay new character, wild speccing time,

1. Dragoon is BB's replacement, WM's bosses having decided she needs help keeping the LWs in line.

2. Same thing but from a group unrelated to WM.

3. A new LW in preparation for one of them dieing/quitting/changing sides.

4. It's Sarda setting up the greatest of all mindfucks.

5. It's WM, she finally broke and gained a gender and class confused split personality.

6. Sky Warrior

7. Cid

and obligatorily

8. Chaos

IE- Sheik, to have an example? Character pretending to be another to help.

What amazes me the most is that Dragoon can jump 1000 ft in the air then hit someone that has been shot out of a cannon at a very high speed. Dragoons are awesome.

I bet it's a Sky warrior. Just my two cents.

Well I was thinking more like Alfred Ashford or Mr Bates, you know not a disguise but outright psychosis, and not so much helping but torturing and killing.

We have to wear heavy armor now? Damn, I hate new regulations...

SWB

+10 Awesomeness points for including the Dragoon!

Fighter: I like swords!

Dragoon: I like spears!

Fighter: I like swords!

Dragoon: I like spears!

(Repeat)

Jump is also the single most awesome physical attack ever invented. Invincibility + Huge Damage? Integral to the plotline of some FF's? THANKS!

I almost feel special!
 

"I believe I saw a Superman reference in there somewhere. Which line was it? Damnation I cant point it out anymore, its way to subtle, too hidden."

Frig, so it is Superman! "You've got me? Then who's got you?"

Clearly Black Mage is dead. The snow gave it away. He's back, and hell has frozen over. Now fightar will never acheive his dreams! The star of the show's dead! Noo!
And by 'Noo!' I mean 'yes! +10 unnamed bonus that stacks with the previous awesome bonus!' Where might I obtain such a cannon?

Whoot; my RP alter-ego is called Dragoon. It's almost like a cameo, but I don't have to explain why my namesake is skewering people!

Dragoon: "I like gum."

I think Dragoon must actually be an Imperial Probe Droid, judging by the fact that they just crash landed on Hoth.

/Pretty sure it is Hoth, check out the mountains in the background

The mountains are why I tought it was snow cause deserts do NOT have sand covered mountains.

Midnight blue armor......dragoon....redish spear.....

He stole my design!

And it's not too hard to do that, as the main control surfaces lie in the design of the armor.

Well there's also helmet shapes (or the presence of a helmet) to think about too, y'know...

Exactly, which is why dragon-head shaped ones are so popular. Quite aerodynamic.

Dragoons!


Oh crap, Theif is going to die.


And I will love every single elfslaughtering minute of it.

A bonafide new character? Hooray for Brian finally fulfilling my hope! I had thought that it was just a nameless servant of Leifen who helps people who fly over his city land by stabbing them.

um, remember? all the lefion people speak a differant language unbreakable without the cipherstone. And he spoke english.

So... Is this guy going to be named after his own class or is he going to actually have a name of his own?

OH MY CODPIECE! A DRAGOON! THANK YOU BRIAN! Please let his name be Dragoon Mclancer or something. Dragoon Von Halberdmcvoulgenpike... I just combined like three polearms into a last name.

I reckon he'll be a translator of some sort.

His sirname'll probably be "Wymfinger" or something.

"Sir Dragoon Spearsalot."

Just has a ring of rightness to it.

Also, huh?

Dragoons kick ass. Thank you.

Glad to see someone got the Superman reference.

Superman: Easy, miss. I've got you.
Lois: You've got me? Who's got you?

It may have been funnier had this dragoon addressed Black Mage as 'miss'.
