Pretty straightforward case here. Don't see how there's anyway to represent this visually.

Bumped. Any ideas or should the page be left image-less?

There's got to be some image out there of a heroic looking badass standing in a vast empty field... That might do it.

Problem is, one of the key things about the Ineffectual Loner is that he/she doesn't do anything in battle.

Didn't say battlefield... I'm sure I can find something that'll fit that, given enough time. Not sure how much I have, though.

Double-image? One of them proclaiming that they work alone, one of them lying in a pool of their own blood?

What's precedent ever done for us?

What about Amarant from Final Fantasy IX? The whole point of his story before he joins the party is that he is ineffectual as a loner.

The standard manual picture can be found here.

Another popular picture can be found here.

And here is Amarant basically summing up the standard lead-in to this trope.

Personally, I like the first and third best. We could probably find a larger version of the third if need be.

None of that says ineffectual.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick

Maybe an image of someone pouting all on their own with a bunch of other people mocking them, or something.

I think this could be visualized, we just have to think hard about it.
