Sure, you wouldn't want to be anywhere near the psychotic little butcher, but as a character in a comic, he's hillarious. It takes a certain kind of player to play well with the other PCs while playing a psychotic character, but it can be done, and great fun for all.But back to Miko. She is awesome. She clearly screwed up (her gods punished her after all) and her acerbic attitude certainly pissed off everyone who knew her, but that's part of the charm of her character. And she has many admirable traits also: although she ultimately screwed up (and paid the ultimate price), she only ever did what she thought was right. She was willing to sacrifice herself for what she thought was good. And that's admirable, in a way. (Of course, it doesn't mitigate the harm caused by her actions... just as a terrorist may believe in the righteousness of his cause and still do great evil.)Anyway, Miko and Belkar are awesome for similar reasons. Neither are people you'd want to spend a plane flight sitting near, but as characters in the comic, they are funny and awesome characters.Ozmar the Verbose</blockquote>
