History Characters / TheOrderOfTheStickDivineBeings

* FalseReassurance: During their whole speech to entice Vaarsuvius into making a deal with them, they are incredibly honest. Everything they say is perfectly true, including the fact that V would keep control during the Soul Splice, save for the feelings of omnipotence it could induce. Even their stated long-term goal is probably the entire truth. Since it wouldn't unfold before millenia, they certainly weren't worried about it motivating V to refuse. They just omitted some critical details, like ''when'' they would take custody of V's soul afterward (not correcting the elf when assuming it would be after death), nor what is their ''short-term'' goal (which involves the Gates).

* HiddenAgendaVillain: They briefly discuss their long-term goals with Qarr, but ultimately decide it's too much exposition to reveal now. [[spoiler:They do involve V, the Gates, and Xykon, however]].

* {{Psychopomp}}: In one panel, he disputes with Hel over a soul.

** StealthPun: [[spoiler: Rat was one of the gods who detailed for the Dark One the gods' plan for goblins and the nature of the Snarl. He ratted them out.]]

The leader of the Western pantheon (equivalent to Odin or Dragon in this regard). He has to date played no role and had no line in the comic (except the above, from ''Start of Darkness''). Marduk can be seen in Lord Shojo's tale about the making of the World and the origins of the Snarl.

* TheQuietOne: Marduk doesn't seem very verbose. For the whole [[{{Backstory}} Crayons Of Time]] arc, he doesn't say a word. In Start Of Darkness, he only has one line, and to add insult to injury, it is interrupted by The Dark One.

* [[Ubermensch]]

* Ubermensch

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: All three look absolutely identical except for the color of their eyes, which is also reflected in the text of their speech bubbles and the color of their magic auras.

* {{Manipulative Bastard}}s: Through use of ReversePsychology, they try to convince Vaarsuvius to make a [[DealWithTheDevil deal with them]] in the most blatant way possible... [[spoiler:and they succeed. Though V was already willing to do so anyways...]] Then they implied that [[spoiler:the spliced souls would have the ability to influence him, even though they [[MagicFeather actually had no control at all]]]]. "We only have to trick you if being honest doesn't work." actually sounds a LOT like "We're being honest." without actually meaning that at all.

* [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Deity of Goblin Origin]]: The bloodshed his followers killed in retaliation to his death allowed him to transcend his mortality and become a god.

* AggressiveNegotiations: Was killed during those.

* [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Deity of Goblin Origin]]: The bloodshed of his followers allowed him to transcend his mortality and become a god.

* ChekhovsGunman: First seen [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0380.html here]], but not formally introduced until [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0632.html much later]]. Heck, they were mentioned ''[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0062.html way]]'' back near the beginning -- Sabine explicitly said that she'd been sent "by the archfiends" to be Nale's consort/sidekick. These guys are the archfiends in question.

* [[DealWithTheDevil Deal With The Devil, Daemon and Demon]]: Made one for [[spoiler:Vaarsuvius]].

* GambitRoulette: The IFCC really did get lucky with their plan. Expecting that [[spoiler:Vaarsuvius would attack Xykon with the powers they gave him/her]]? Reasonable. Hoping that [[spoiler:the attack would be effective enough to piss off Xykon, not powerful enough to kill him ''and'' that V would still be able to escape Xykon?]] Yeah, there was a lot that could've gone wrong. The IFCC even admits that they had no way to interfere and that their plan wasn't perfect.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Durkon is a LawfulGood cleric of Thor, a (presumably) ChaoticGood deity. This shouldn't be possible based on core ''D&D'' rules. (Clerics can only be a 'step' away in alignment to their patron deity. So a cleric of Thor would need to be ChaoticGood, ChaoticNeutral, or NeutralGood.) Although [[WordOfGod Word of the Giant]] states that ''[=OotS=]'' Thor is distinct from both Nordic Thor and ''D&D'' Thor, so his alignment might not be ChaoticGood at all.

* DealWithTheDevil: Made one for [[spoiler:Vaarsuvius]].
