Sluggy Freelance/Characters: Difference between revisions

** He was already [[Wangst|Wangsting]] when he got to 4U, because he {{spoiler|felt responsible for Zoë's death, since he didn't know Oasis can create explosions with her mind, and assumed his experimental prototype was to blame.}}

* [[Gadgeteer Genius]] - He makes mecha, dimensional transport devices, toasters that can launch toast through the ceiling, and a staple remover with ''a 100 foot range.''

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|When he realizes that the dictator ruling the [[Alternate Universe]] he's in is his alternate self}}

** {{spoiler|1=Well, that's what he thought, at any rate. Turns out his tech was just stolen by HeretiCorp.}}

*** {{spoiler|Its even ''worse''. There isn't a blank mind in her, ''there's no mind at all''. She is literally nothing but a barely sentient, barely aware vegetable/construct.}}

*** {{spoiler|And she got better due to the results of Riff's amazing [[Batman Gambit]]. Of course she still has to find a way to explain her apparent death and two year absence.}}

* {{spoiler|[[He's Just Hiding|She's Just Hiding]]: Just ask most of the fans. Turns out she was, but was in ''far'' worse shape than most thought.}}

** {{spoiler|Or is she?}}

 

* [[Black Magic]] - Produces [[Hilarity Ensues]] more often than threatening [[The End of the World As We Know It]].

* [[Dark Magical Girl]] - Flirts with this trope but never fully commits.

* [[Demonic Possession]]

* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]

* [[The Smart Guy]]

* [[Tsundere]] - Type A.

 

 

* [[The Big Guy]]

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Time to die, Nerd-Boy!" and similar, along with his switchblade's distinctive 'ka-click!' sound effect.

* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]] - When he's not an outright antagonist.

* [[Older Than They Look|Older Than He Looks?]] - Speculated in-universe. {{spoiler|Basphomy's conversation with Mrs. Claus regarding the second Deus Ex Ovum suggests that the point in time that Bun-bun was ''originally'' thrown out of was centuries ago, and that he ended up in the modern era due to returning to a different point in time when he left Timeless Space the first time.}}

* [[Refuge in Audacity]] - Bun-bun's attitude, e.g. in one early strip, his "pirate crew" (consisting of Kiki and a little girl) is drowning, so after musing that he can't really be a pirate captain without a crew... he throws his hat away and rows off to start a black market drugs ring in Tijuana instead.

* [[Talking Animal]]

* [[Token Evil Teammate]] - ''Ohhhh'' yeah.

 

* [[Extreme Omnivore]] - Her red dragon form, which ate just about everything ''but'' what would traditionally be considered food.

* {{spoiler|[[Dead All Along]] - One of her forms was, for all intents and purposes, undead, but she grew out of it with her next form.}}

* [[Healing Factor]]: In her initial "Xenomorph" form, she can recover from any injury that doesn't immediately kill her.

A young woman mind controlled by a [[Mad Scientist]] named Dr. Steve Hereti. Has a tendency to come back from the dead and is very much in love with Torg.

 

* [[Ax Crazy]] - Let's put it this way - when Torg said he loved chocolate ice cream, she proceeded to kill the chocolate ice cream. Much to the surprise and consternation of everyone present.

* [[Back From the Dead]] - Many, many times. It's become somewhat of a [[Running Gag]] that any arc that features her will see her die once.

* [[Foot Focus]] - heavily during the Phoenix Rising story arc.

** Ironically, she ends [[Wham Episode|bROKEN]] with her entire left lower leg and various other parts blown off by Riff's missiles. It's only this that allows Hereti-Corp to finally capture her (as if Riff had actually managed to kill her, she would have just come back in perfect health).

* [[Murder the Hypotenuse]] - Oasis has this as her default mode of dealing with any and all challengers for Torg's affection. She once tried this with Gwynn under the mistaken impression that Gwynn was Zoë. In the bROKEN arc, sees her finally identifying Zoë correctly... and believing Torg was "mistaken" when he said he didn't love Zoë.

* [[Naked First Impression]] - Named one of the books: ''Game Called On Account of Naked Chick''.

 

'''Dr. Schlock'''

 

* [[Dirty Coward]]

* [[Kick the Dog]]

* {{spoiler|[[Not So Harmless]]: Through a long series of backroom deals, he managed to take over Heriti-Corp in secret and is making more progress in their domination goal than the old management ever did.}}

 

'''Horribus'''

 

* [[Attack Its Weak Point]] - There are apparently only two ways to kill a Demon Lord: decapitation, or {{spoiler|stabbing him through the center of his soul with an enchanted weapon}}.

** Horribus - [[Big Bad]] and [[The Brute]]

** Psykk - [[The Evil Genius]]

 

* [[The Chosen One]] - she's the only one that can operate the map that leads to Teknokon One, the only ship that can enter and exit Timeless Space at will.

* [[Crazy Prepared]] - [http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/050926 But only because of her mental block about safety precautions.]

* [[Hot Scientist]]
