Honorable Mention: Carmen Leno
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/7/1/AAOJ0pAADYAj.png
Carmen is the other half of the Body Doubles. She's got an idiotic genius about her. She's really fun, but being stuck in a cell for most of the campaign means she's spent a lot of time being really annoying. Lush recognizes her from porn.

Carmen just got out for helping us fight back against Kobra, and is a new member of our Suicide Squad! We'll see where she goes now that she's finally not just a captive of ours.

46. Jack Cross
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/5/2/AAOJ0pAADX-s.jpg
And Scar and JB get the points. JB goes from a terrible guess to getting one right. Good job!

Jack Cross is a freelance anti-terrorist. One of the first things he told us was a story about how he saved George HW Bush from Japanese terrorists. And apparently killed Osama Bin Laden. He's the guy sent in when things need to be done quietly. This is interesting, because he's anti-war, and even claims to be a pacifist. For him, pacifism is quietly putting a bullet in the head of a terrorist to stop them without drawing any attention to it.

Jack was found in week 3 of our campaign at Mesa Verde, where a small group of survivors was holding out from OMAC attacks that happened nearby. Jack was a bit of a coward? One might say survivalist. He managed to get to the escape point, but everyone else in the place died. Super-Chief even gave his life for the party there. And so Jack was brought home, and eventually became a member of our first non-player field team.

Jack's charm comes from being a bit of a contrarian, speaking out against fascism including the inherent issues and history of Checkmate, and his knack for plain-spoken dry humor and sarcasm. Lush, who is Scare's character, a teeny-bopper hero wannabe turned supervillain turned reformed hero who has a past that's way more villainous than she remembers, found a kindred spirit in Jack. The pair don't hold standards of respect and good behavior that others might. This leads to a great deal of comedy in our debriefings. Or at least, it did. Jack doesn't get as much screentime nowadays, as we've added a lot more characters to our base.

Jack may not be as front-and-center as he once was, but he played a crucial role in the early campaign, adding some levity with dry wit that did not disrespect the dark and hopeless nature of the campaign.

Hint for 45: One of the greatest villains in DC history.

@HanOfTheNekos we still have an H1 spidey/daredevil arrangement going or was that just for one day?

Still on!

Flo did her best.

Spider-Man 3

My favorite Pokemon!

Bulbasaur

Daredevil

Suprak, was our trade for me to get DD?

I feel like Mando made no real missteps so it's hard not to have it at the top for me.

People who don't need the wage to live. Retirees, people in households that want a hobby, and in some cases maybe the business just doesn't need to be open. Do we really need dozens of fast food choices everywhere around us?

Plum, do you work at McDonald's for a hobby? And if not, why not?

If minimum wage isn't supposed to provide a living wage, then who does the jobs during the workday? Can't be students. Can't be teenagers. Can't be people with primary jobs that they're already doing during the workday.

Wow, just copying Scar's prediction like that

Can I sex the rabbit was not about Pocus, it was about Pirate.

Oops

Pirate is a boy rabbit

I dont think pointing out that it makes no goddamn sense for 10 year old Princess Leia to be on a fun kidnapping adventure with her new BFF Obi-Wan Kenobi that she apparently completely forgot about 10 years later in ANH

I hope you never learn about comic books

47. Pocus
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/8/5/AAOJ0pAADXyt.png
Pocus is a rabbit that belongs to Zatanna. I believe in the comics that Pocus is a boy, but Scar has her as a girl rabbit here. My character would know, as she is a biologist, and I used the line in-session "Can I sex the rabbit?" This line is not nearly as funny to a biologist as it is to someone else.

Pocus is a rabbit, which means, for all except two of the PC's, she is a bunny who wriggles her nose. And that's mostly it! Another NPC, named Misty, holds onto Pocus all of the time. Misty likes to nom on one of Pocus's feet. She also likes to speak as if Pocus is speaking, in a loud but stuttered manner, such as: "Pocus. Loves. Lush!" or "Data. Needs. To back! Off!" Yes, I am giving Pocus some credit for how another character uses them. Sue me.

Now, Data 7, who is Ermine's character, who is a dog, can speak to Pocus. So can Minerva (who has been mentioned in most of these write-ups so far), since she has Atlantean speak-to-animal abilities. And Pocus is a treat! She's a little vain - after all, she's a great stage magician. She is well-known across the world, doing shows with her assistant, Zatanna. We haven't seen too much of this attitude, but it is really fun to experience.

Pocus also has the responsibility of looking after Misty. Misty has some issues - I will explore them in another write-up, be it a ranking or a honorable mention, but Misty holds onto Pocus like a stuffed animal, as if Pocus is the totem that gives her some measure of sanity. Pocus accepts this responsibility, as Misty is very important, and Pocus is the only one capable of protecting her.

Lastly, Pocus might be a magic rabbit. Pocus will wriggle her nose, then a leaf will fall from a tree, and float so perfectly as to fly in front of the face of someone, startling them for a moment and causing them to fall. Or something like that. Pocus is either magic or just has a lot of convenient things happen around her.

Pocus might be considered an accessory character at times, but she has enough individual charm to earn this spot on this list.

Hint for 46: No superpowers, no problem.

48. Squire (Beryl Hutchinson)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/0/0/AAOJ0pAADXxY.jpg
The Batman of London is known as the Knight. And the Robin is Squire.

Squire is a teenage hero with all the youthfulness of a more classic Robin, with some of the camp and all of the hope and positivity that would bring. She brings a great amount of energy and pep with her, which is antithetical to the extremely dour mood that pervades London in this campaign.

London managed to use an ancient spell that turned Ireland into a shield against the invading dropships of Darkseid, and in the meantime, a man named Adam Susan took control of the government, and London remains in a very Big Brother-esque lockdown.

Squire rides through the streets on her Squirecycle, throwing her Squirerangs and doing Squirekicks at the villains that may pervade the streets in this time. All of these things are called by those names, and Squire will shout them out when she uses them. It's endearing.

I think the way that Squire has demonstrated the spirit of a Robin is so at odds with everything in this campaign, given how bleak everything is, and that helped her endear herself to us almost immediately. Despite recognizing that we may not be well-to-do citizens, she is also easy to speak to and has a willingness to work for the betterment of the people, which will be quite important when we return to London to get some stuff done.

Hint for 47: This character is associated with magic

While the show took a dip in the middle, the last two episodes and the first I think made up for it all. Obi-Wan/Leia friendship was definitely something I didn't know I needed, and I am also always so happy to see more Bail Organa.

I wish they would have made it a BIT more evident that Obi-Wan was choosing mercy as well, for Vader. Him and Reva react the same way - and are both free to move on the same. It just wasn't made clear enough at the time that Obi-Wan had no score to settle with Vader, since Anakin was dead.

Anyone out there interested in an hour 1 or hour 2 trade for Daredevil?

me can you get andrew

Yelena

Some of those locations looked directly lifted from the other games. There was a ledge that looked directly from Gaur Plain.

If Spidey gets enough overflow saves to lap whomever goes out, can he just be autosafe next round?

Spidey was safe, I think lol

Can you get Yelena instead?

Spider

Black Eagles all I did

Bulbasaur

Thanos

There are plenty of millennials that are college educated and working such jobs. A lot of them are the ones who are pushing for proper treatment.

Some people might be well-suited to warehouse work, but that doesn't mean they should be exploited, especially if they have been in white collar jobs and know that it is completely sensible for corporations to take better care of their workers.

I can confirm that Scar does not do that.

He does well with German though

Honorable Mention

Prowley
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/572097141166702617/989034907240103956/Prowley.jpg

Prowley is a cat that belongs to Zatanna. We found him in Zatanna's San Francisco apartment. He speaks Ancient Egyptian. But he can also say his name. So Scar will do his dialogue like "Barata alioga taka ezu deta wo *Prowley*."

Didn't Dylan break one of your items?

49. Black Pirate (Jon Valor)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/7/2/AAOJ0pAADXfw.jpg
Jon Valor is a ghost pirate.

We found him when we went to Opal City, home of Starman. The city was encased in a dome of shadow, courtesy of Simon Culp (the bad side of The Shade), and during the excursion there, which was a multi-session journey, we encountered a ghost pirate ship. We got them to join up, and since then, we've had a ghost pirate ship back at base.

Now, the ship itself is cool - it was our first seafaring vessel which was needed to take a few missions. It can be corporeal, and at other times, with no living folk on it, it can turn incorporeal and be immune to being attacked and can fly around and shit. This gives it some versatility, and we've done a number of sessions riding the ship so far.

So Jon Valor is the captain, and the one who speaks with us. He has a classic romantic sense about him when it comes to piracy - the kind that, say, loosely inspired One Piece, or the Steve Bonnet of Our Flag Means Death. Thus, when we speak with Valor, we are not talking with some scourge of the high seas, but rather, the more honorable sort, at least on the surface. This makes him align morally with us a little better for sure.

Jon Valor tends to get some good time in sessions, where he tends to be a good character to open things with and get us in the mood. In particular, his interactions with Minerva are great. Minerva goes on many aquatic missions since she is Atlantean - and our boat is a ghost ship. Minerva also has a phobia of ghosts. It's a fun interaction, as she clearly doesn't want to entangle with him, but the encounters are necessary.

Hint for 48: This character is or has been a sidekick.

Ulti, jsyk, I'm going to honor our trade H1 tomorrow. Feel free to wait until H2 for Spidey - just don't want you to get confused when I do something different
