Good example! Seriana Sedai Send a noteboard - 15/10/2010 01:00:57 AM
I think the gray man is a good example (though it's not "one" character). It had potential to be super scary, but then everyone and their mom could detect and kill one, and they never killed anyone who had a name. Same with Mydraahl.

I was thinking of people who were scary characters at first and then became jokes, like Carridin (sp?), Liandrin, Ishy, Moghidien...I need to start my reread because they always strike me as "Oh, I remember when I thought they were going to be cool".

I sound like such a snob right now. :<img class=' />

Moridin/Ishamael, because he reminds me of me ... goddamn *NM* Velveti - 14/10/2010 04:25:04 AM 529 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 1190 Views
I'd say this differently ... more like which character SHOULD be scariest to me... darius_sedai - 13/10/2010 08:51:45 PM 1297 Views
What he said. Plus one. Keira - 14/10/2010 02:21:06 AM 1135 Views
a very good point. *NM* LadyLorraine - 14/10/2010 04:29:28 AM 431 Views
Absolutely. Seriana Sedai - 14/10/2010 08:02:58 PM 1017 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 1053 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 514 Views
Someone who compromises her good intentions to keep herself in power - how is that comforting? Cannoli - 15/10/2010 06:22:12 PM 1115 Views
That is not at all what idealsim tempered by pragmatism is. Helene - 15/10/2010 07:56:10 PM 1181 Views

Seconded. I never understood what all the fuss was about Slayer. *NM* RandAllThor - 14/10/2010 03:07:28 PM 460 Views
but he skins wolves in dreamland! ooooh scary *NM* darius_sedai - 14/10/2010 03:48:32 PM 469 Views
I agree. He is hilarious. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 04:16:18 PM 995 Views
I had the same lol reaction BlackAdder - 14/10/2010 04:40:24 PM 1265 Views
And even worse...he's related to Rand, Lan and Galad RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:33:45 PM 1117 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 911 Views
I think of Moghedien and Lanfear scarier in terms of T'A'R RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:38:58 PM 1094 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 1124 Views
I don't find Shaidar Haran scary, because I'm not a channeler. *NM* Helene - 16/10/2010 08:15:49 AM 472 Views

Shadar Haran Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:28:44 AM 1099 Views
Shadar Haran is definitely the scariest RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 03:44:39 PM 995 Views
gholam makes it close though. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:54:46 PM 980 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 1090 Views
