Who will die in CTV?

[doodlesthebear]

This board needs some discussion blood! I'm not sure why people aren't wanting to discuss Charby-related things, because you'd think it would be quite common. Although perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places?

Anyway, if you vote other please specify who, thanks. Also, explain why you think someone will die. And I'm not thinking 'at some point in the comic'... I'm thinking sometime soon, like the next to get bumped off.

For example, I'm going with Zeno. I think he's a likely candidate. He's been around from the near-beginning, he's liked but generally not as adored as some, and he's causing tons of problems. He's also the main character in this current story arc, and the last time he caused problems like this, he escaped death. Maybe that's just me. (Although, perhaps he's dead already? Anyone want to weigh in on this?)

I know Amelius mentioned she was going to kill off characters at some point, and we need to start speculating about who!

EDIT: As much of the cast is dead (or can appear to die without actually dying), I though I'd clarify something. I mean 'die' as in 'die and be permanently removed from the comic', as opposed to 'get their head chopped off but still live 'cuz they're a vampire'.

I have a feeling Quixoto is on his way out. Charby will probably have his final battle with him eventually, and I doubt Charby would lose again.

[Falvee]

Ooh, good topic! I've got quite a few people who I think are on their way out, and if I voted, I'd probably end up checking all the options. ^^

Zeno could go either way. I get the feeling he's got WAY more trouble left in him, and the only question for me is whether he's going to be causing problems in person or postmortem (er, double-postmortem, I guess, considering the whole "already dead" thing). While I usually make characters the focus of an arc right before I kill them, I also try to keep the troublemakers alive so they can add to the conflict. I'm leaning slightly towards the not-death side.

If it's not Zeno who dies, my guess is Claire. It's random, I know, but Menu's curse might catch up to her eventually. She's immortal, but there are TWO Elite-killing weapons at her Puppy's house, and one owned by her brother. Plus, I've noticed she's been dead weight recently, and while I love her to pieces, I'm going to start planning her funeral if she stops being comic relief too. But still, her death isn't quite as likely as Zeno's 49%.

Oh, and Daray is a close third just because. :D

I almost hate to say it, but I get the feeling that Zerlocke might be the next to die, namely because of his relationship with Mye. Given that whatever is inside Zeno already hates the Elites and wants to kill them combined with Zeno's jealous tendencies (yes he is getting better, but hear me out), I think that the 'Inner Zeno' might use whatever is left of those feelings to spur Zeno to attack and kill Zerlocke. Especially since both Zeno and Zerlocke are pretty obsessive about Mye, something which never bodes well.
Of course, this is based around Zeno finding out about Mye dancing with Zerlocke. However, given Mye's luck with relationships, I think it might be likely that something will slip out...

[doodlesthebear]

I think, while it's entirely possible that Claire will die at some point, I don't think she'll be next. It just wouldn't provide much emotional impact. Menu is, at best, comic relief right now. So you wouldn't get much emotion there. Then again, there's Zerlocke, who would react adversely to the death, but he's not the main focus at the moment either. I think that, right now, Claire's death just wouldn't affect people all that much. Perhaps later...

I hope it's not Zerlocke! I like Zerlocke! Though I can understand your point, Lord Rend. The 'Inner Zeno' seems to me to be focused on the general race of Elites, though. It was able to spur Zeno into 'killing' Charby, for heaven's sake! I think killing Zerlocke is a wee bit obvious to me, though. It would show Zeno's crazy all the more if he killed some Elite that he didn't affect his personal life like that, because he's already tried to kill Zerlocke before. It wouldn't be as shocking. Perhaps Claire or Rosemary, then... (gosh, why do I argue against myself!)

I'm still gonna go with Zeno. I think his sister is going to come into it, as well as the other (if there are any) Scotodino. I know next to nothing about the race, but I rather enjoy the idea of Zeno going down in a blaze of glory and being considered a hero by his race for eternity. I just don't see how this is all going to come to a head, though. There are so many different story lines, and I don't think we have enough pieces of the puzzle to put them together yet.

[Lord Rend]

Hmm... You have point that killing Zerlocke would be obvious since he is involved with Zeno's personal life and Zeno has attempted to kill Zerlocke before. While it certainly can be used to argue against Zerlocke being the next to die (not that I really want that to happen), it can also be used to support the theory that he will be next to die. It can go either way really... and I certainly do not think that Zerlocke is far and away the next person on the chopping block. In fact, I would argue that if Zeno cannot overcome his inner demons he is about as likely as Zerlocke to die, possibly even dying at more or less the same time as Zerlocke if the two do get into a confrontation.

Beyond those two though... I tend to think that Kavonn might actually be in danger, although that really depends on what the relationship between the Scotodino and the Elites is. From what I have read so far, it seems that the Scotodino are fairly isolated so if the Elites are trying to cover up something, they might go after Kavonn in order to prevent him from exposing them.

Another possibility is either Mye or Hexavier, but this is kind of dependent on how things turn out with Zeno and Zerlocke and whether or not Mye interferes if there is a fight (If she was badly wounded, I have little doubt that Hex would sacrifice his own unlife to save her though).

[doodlesthebear]

Another way to look at this is story potential. Currently, the major players in this story arc mostly have other stories tied into them, or other things left to be revealed. This eliminates (in my opinion) Charby, Mye, Zerlocke, and Hex. The other pertinent people in this arc are, I think, Kavonn, Zeno, and Tony. I can't think of much that's very important about any of them that isn't revealed that is probably going to be after this story arc.

Kavonn and Tony both have pasts that are vague, but they could be intended to be like that. After this storyline, what will Kavonn have left to spy on? Without the romantic problems (which I'm hoping will be over by this story line) what's left to know about Tony? And Zeno will hopefully be all sorted out after this. This makes them all the more likely to be killed off, as one of the few ways to get more story out of them is to kill them off. (Excluding, of course, some major revelations we don't know about.)

[mikolai]

I would have to say Charby will kill Quixoto before he lets Zeno die.
I mean he defended Zeno from all the other Elite even though he got his head blown up by Zeno.

Oh course I could be completely wrong.

[ogrefairy]

No matter who dies, I would be sad. <.< >.> I'm just going to be hopeful and say none. XP

[whitewolf1989]

*Seconds OF* ><" I don't want anyone dead either

[EEN]

Kavonn will die! I know this because I ask Amelius for this every time my birthday comes around. One year she'll forget to get me a present and she'll have no choice but to give me Kavonn's head on a platter!

[Waker]

I'm horrible with names, but the guy in charge of the Monster Hunting group.
Reason I say that (besides offering an alternative other than the ones mentioned) is that he's still got his backstory with the creature that killed his parents. The thing obviously knows where he is and what he does for a job. At some point or another it's probably gonna go and kill him off.

[shioritsumi]

....Adria. She has single-handedly caused many elites to completely loathe her, and even after nearly being killed shows no remorse for the reason to which she was nearly killed for. Every single time she's around, she makes someone want to kill her!

And I'm very very terribly sorry to even suggest this, but....Annabelle Marlow, Victor's grandma. If demons and vampires are naturally attracted to Victor, then I'm sad to say it's only a matter of time, especially since she has nothing to defend herself with. AND she's someone precious to both Charby and Vic, that makes her a target DOUBLY.

[doodlesthebear]

Vagus, your logic is sound, but I think it may be a while before we see that. I think we'll have to discover who/what exactly came after Blaine's parents before he'll die. Ha, imagine Victor as the new leader. It would certainly be an interesting take, because then he'd be able to be friends with Charby and the gang; no one to get him in trouble!

To shioritsumi, as far as Adria goes, she is a good candidate for death too. I get the feeling we'll see a bit more trouble out of her before she goes, though. When it comes to Annabelle Marlow, well... I have a bit of a weird theory regarding her. To keep it simple, let's just say I don't think she'd be easy to kill. I understand what you mean about her being a target, though.

I also have a certain theory regarding that...but it's a little silly, so I aired on the side of saying that MAYBE she's an ordinary grandma. The theory involves Victor's 'gift' being...genetic. We don't know which side of the family Annabelle is the grandmother on, and we've never seen Victor's dad, either....there are GAPING LOOPHOLES TO BE EXPLOITED HERE!

[doodlesthebear]

It sounds like our theories are similar, though we have seen Vic's dad (in flashback), and Annabelle is Vic's dad's mom. (He was, apparently, quite a momma's boy.) Not only does my theory explain Vic's 'gift', but also why Hector (that's his brother's name, yes?) is a doggy, not a vampire.

[Artemisia]

I think most of them are great suggestions but I feel that among the mortals Tony is the most obvious to go... I love Tony and my heart breaks for him every time he is on but he is in the most dangerous situation at the present moment and judging from the plot line it would cause the most misery, survivor's guilt and angst among the cast and viewers possibly causing a rift between Victor, who suggested he go to Blaine's, and the rest of them... also Blaine might fire Victor for fraternizing with the enemy
However Tony is too obvious so scratch what I just said
Azelea is getting on everyone's nerves so she is probly on her way out too...
