Nope I can assure you he is very much alive........if last night was any indication he certainly is alive 
But he was gone away for a long time before we got back together........so maybe Buttercup is the right one for me

Vizzini here.
--"What is "Princess Bride"?"
A very funny movie based on a very funny book. You should rent it as soon as possible.
--"quote and the character does not match..."
He does say it in the movie. Right after Vizzini told him how to take care of the masked man.
|
Quote:
|
Vizzini: "Finish him! Finish him! Your way!"
Fezzik: "Oh good. My way. Thank you Vizzini... Which way is my way?"
Vizzini: "Pick up one of those rocks. Get behind the boulders. In a few minutes, the man in black will come running around the bend. The minute his head is in view, hit it with the rock!!!"
Fezzik: "My way is not really sportsmanlike."
|
--"well was he dead?"
He was only mostly dead.

INCONCIEVABLE!
Though I recommend to all that have seen the movie to read the book as well. Very funny indeed!

Background/History:
Count Rugen is Prince Humperdink's confidant and close associate. He is an evil man, self centered and ruthless, and currently engaged in writing the "... definitive work on pain."
Personality/Motivation:
Rugen is a less than a pleasent person. At one point he describes himself as having a considerable temper and a murderous wrath. He certainly isn't someone to be trifled with.
Quote: "I am writing the definitive history of pain..."
Powers/Tactics:
Rugen is an expert at torture and the application of pain. He is also a capable inventor, and spent 11 years perfecting The Machine, a huge suction-pump device that draws life out of a body. Simulating this is probably best handled through a Body Drain with an extended recovery period (say centuries?). It takes about a minute to drain 1d6 of Body, and the subject needs to be strapped down. Naturally The Machine is an Immobile Focus.
Appearance:
Count Rugen is probably in his late thirties, and is described as "... a big man, with black hair and black eyes and great shoulders and a black cape and gloves." And, of course, he has six fingers on his right hand.

It just means we're boring. Both of the people I sent the link to here at work were Buttercup too. At least they were women, though.

Buttercup was a throughly uninteresting character, ad one wonders why an entire story, no matter how funny, revolves around her. I guess it had to be true love. Nothing else would have sufficed.

Yeah, he did say that. But thats not a good quote to give an idea of what his character is. He does drop the rock and request for a hand to hand combat after all... (despite wesley not seeing how fair that could be...  )

Quote:

Vizzini: Finish him! Finish him, your way!
Fezzik: Oh good, my way. Thank you Vizzini... which one's my way?
Vizzini: Pick up one of those rocks, get behind a boulder, in a few minutes the man in black will come running around the bend, the minute his head is in view, hit it with the rock!
Fezzik: My way's not very sportsman-like.
....
Fezzik: We face each other as God intended. Sportsmanlike. No tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone.
Man in Black: You mean, you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword, and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?
Fezzik: [brandishing rock] I could kill you now.
Man in Black: I think the odds are slightly in your favor at hand fighting.
Fezzik: It's not my fault being the biggest and the strongest. I don't even exercise.

Buttercup's better in the book -- her character (or lack thereof) is better described by a narrator than it is through dialogue.
