I'd say this differently ... more like which character SHOULD be scariest to me... darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 13/10/2010 08:51:45 PM
For me it's Therava. She's just so utterly pitiless. And unlike pretty much every other BA or Forsaken or Seanchan antagonist, there's no arrogance to her; she really is as hard and cruel and clever as she thinks she is.


Given RJs overall penchant for making his villains cartoon like I'd say none of them are remotely scary. However, in concept there are several that should scare the piss out of all of us!

1. Ishamael, crazy fanatical minion of evil with flaming eyes and mouth who invades your dreams to tempt you to the dark side, or maybe just kill you... should be terrifying

2. Fain, amoral soulless creature twisted by multiple evils, attuned to chase you until one of you is dead ... again, should be the stuff of nightmares

3. Graendal, power hungry monster-slut who will take away your free-will, make you a piece of furniture and kill your kids as an after thought... yipes

4. Lanfear, psycho-stalker bitch who enters your dreams ala Freddy Krueger?

5. Semirhage ... do I really need to explain why "Lady Pain" should make you wake in a cold sweat?

Moridin/Ishamael, because he reminds me of me ... goddamn *NM* Velveti - 14/10/2010 04:25:04 AM 457 Views
Lanfear and Ishamael are both two sides of the same coin, and both crack me up. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:58:46 PM 1077 Views

Indeed Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:28:14 AM 942 Views
Even if she's a fraction as bad as I make her out, who is most likely to be around for a while? Cannoli - 15/10/2010 03:12:02 PM 951 Views
But she's not scary... her idealism is tempered by pragmatism - a benevolent dictator type. *NM* Helene - 15/10/2010 03:28:05 PM 458 Views
Someone who compromises her good intentions to keep herself in power - how is that comforting? Cannoli - 15/10/2010 06:22:12 PM 994 Views
That is not at all what idealsim tempered by pragmatism is. Helene - 15/10/2010 07:56:10 PM 1046 Views

I find Slayer to be a bigger joke than Demandred Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:41:48 AM 935 Views
Seconded. I never understood what all the fuss was about Slayer. *NM* RandAllThor - 14/10/2010 03:07:28 PM 397 Views
but he skins wolves in dreamland! ooooh scary *NM* darius_sedai - 14/10/2010 03:48:32 PM 418 Views
I agree. He is hilarious. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 04:16:18 PM 868 Views
I had the same lol reaction BlackAdder - 14/10/2010 04:40:24 PM 1149 Views
And even worse...he's related to Rand, Lan and Galad RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:33:45 PM 1003 Views
I don't know why, I just find him one of the scarier people. He reminds me of Freddy Krueger Helene - 14/10/2010 05:41:06 PM 789 Views
I think of Moghedien and Lanfear scarier in terms of T'A'R RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:38:58 PM 974 Views
That's an interesting point. The Ta'veren effect is rather scary if you think about it darius_sedai - 14/10/2010 09:47:02 PM 1014 Views
I don't find Shaidar Haran scary, because I'm not a channeler. *NM* Helene - 16/10/2010 08:15:49 AM 421 Views

Unfortunately, most of the points you listed aren't true, are unsubstantiated or show how weak he is RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/10/2010 04:27:34 PM 1256 Views

Shadar Haran Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:28:44 AM 980 Views
Shadar Haran is definitely the scariest RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 03:44:39 PM 889 Views
gholam makes it close though. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:54:46 PM 865 Views
If not for the same reasons, I agree this is the best of the conventionally scary characters. Cannoli - 15/10/2010 03:15:02 PM 964 Views
