* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: But only the screams of people s/he really hates. For example, [[spoiler:[[AndIMustScream s/he forces the Linear Guild's third kobold Yukyuk to serve as Mr. Scruffy's litter box while he is under hir mind control, and is very much aware of what's going on]]; V, as the one controlling him, is the only one who can hear his screams.]]

Added DiffLines:

* PrematurelyBald: Not explicitly stated, but evident with a little math based on the evidence- he's currently 55 years old, and says to Haley that he's been bald for "forty years," meaning he went bald roughly around 15 years of age. He almost never mentions it, but it's apparently a touchy subject.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
True, but the trope still applies to Haley.

Added DiffLines:

* SlipknotPonytail: Happens to her during a trap search (along with WardrobeMalfunction).
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Slipknot Ponytail is not a hairstyle.


* SlipknotPonytail: Later cut off as an ImportantHaircut of sorts. Then it came back, so it may happen again.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:

Added DiffLines:

* [[ShouldntYouStopStealing Shouldn't You Stop Stealing?]]
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Not established. Haley wondered about this because of his high Charisma, but there is no indication whether she is correct.

* LineOfSightName: In response to his teammates' lame attempts at coming up with a name for their group based on ridiculous things (like the fact that they were hired in a tavern (something that 90%+ of all adventuring groups are done), or that it was a cloudy day), Roy sarcastically suggested they call themselves "the Order of the Stick" because there was a stick on the ground. To his dismay, the name struck a chord with everyone else.

->'''Roy:''' Let my people handle this, we're trained professionals. Well, we're [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits semi-trained, quasi-professionals, at any rate.]]

Led by Roy Greenhilt, the Order is a group of six [[PlayerCharacter PCs]] (and two familiars), out to destroy the evil lich Xykon and prevent him from [[TakeOverTheWorld taking over]] (or worse, [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destroying]]) the world.

* CharacterDevelopment: Has become less greedy over time, and got a justification for her greed. Has also become more moral, best demonstrated by her attitude towards slavery changing [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0171.html from]] AndThatWouldBeWrong to [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0749.html freeing her host's slaves just because she can]]. This likely ties into her self-description as ChaoticGood-ish as opposed to strictly ChaoticGood. She started out leaning toward ChaoticNeutral, but through CharacterDevelopment is now more solidly ChaoticGood.[[invoked]]

** V's [[spoiler:rescue of O-Chul qualifies.]] V is heavily injured, nearly out of spells, and completely out of his/her depth, against [[spoiler:Xykon, an Epic-level sorcerer and the BigBad.]] V turns invisible and means to escape through a hole in the wall, one Feather Fall away from safety... Nobody could possibly know or blame V for escaping in that situation, but he/she chooses to [[spoiler:go back and help O-Chul instead, rather than abandoning yet another person to their death.]] It is a very poignant and touching moment of partial redemption after everything V had done.
