40. Snapper Carr

I almost went with the hint "Has made the most appearances", but the discerning player would get it. So I went with a hint that has a slew of characters that could very well be on the list but was limited.

Snapper is our teleporter. In both of the first sessions, he was the second person each group met (after the Spectre) that has made multiple appearances. And Snapper has shown up in the vaaaaast majority of sessions. We start most of our sessions in the Snap Zone, and Snapper takes us to the place where our session is. He is usually sarcastic during these times, and is not happy when we ask him for a map of the place we're going.

Snapper used to be the mascot of the Justice League. Then he gained powers through some aliens or something and when A-Day hit, he followed protocol to get to Z'onn Z'orr. Without Snapper, there is no Checkmate. He was the single most important person we had for awhile there.

Now, Snapper as a person? As I said, he's sarcastic. He can be a dick at times. Especially at Brennus (MI's character) who just wants to wave at him. Poor Brennus! But Snapper is VERY nice to Lush (Scare's character). As in, Lush and Snapper canoodle. They are as dating as one can date in Z'onn Z'orr. Now, on one hand, this lets Lush, the ex-supervillain whose mind was wiped, to be more kind and domesticated, but also he's very forgiving to her which allows her to get away with some shit. On the other hand, because she's got so much shit, Snapper is almost free to have all his own. And he has his own.

Snapper is married. He thought he was divorced, but technically never sent the papers to his wife, Bethany. Also, he once dated a girl named Midge and forgot to break up with her. And she waited for him! Both girls were found on a recent session that Lush was there for, and got to see both snog with Snapper. And yet Lush is forgiving him because she got Vegas married shortly before that mission.

Earlier in the campaign, however, Snapper went missing, and using our recently acquired second teleporter, Multi-Man, we found where Snapper was. His powers had stopped working from overuse, and he accidentally snapped to Austin, where he ran into the Cheetah, and the two hit it off. So Snapper and Lush had been together, then Snapper got with Cheetah, then we found them and brought both back to Z'onn Z'orr... drama.

Cheetah imprinted on Snapper and has been obsessed with him since. This has created a dynamic that isn't explored as much as I'd like, but I'm not a part of it. There were opportunities for Pepper Spray (Inviso's character) to help Cheetah develop pheromones to get Snapper to push away Lush and go back to Cheetah, which she would have done because Pepper hated Lush because Lush bullied her early in the campaign to put her in her place, but that ended up fizzling because Pepper was afraid of Cheetah, who she was also a big fan of.

ANYWAY, this is where things get personal for me and my character - Saoirse was saved by Lush early on in some sessions and was encouraged by her, so Saoirse developed a crush that slowly developed, and though the pair developed a friendship, it got a little heated. The two hooked up a few times, and though Lush seemed to be just into having fun with her friend, Saoirse developed deeper feelings. Now, this affair came to light thanks to Pepper making a guess (metagaming BS more like) and, as previously said, Snapper couldn't quite get mad with Lush because Snapper had hooked up with Cheetah.

Anyways, this makes it... a love hexagon.

Snapper and Saoirse don't get along. Saoirse is my character, and Snapper is one of the most important NPC's we have, so we are in this situation where there's a lot of angst between the two and we can't just not interact, and it's so much fun. Saoirse isn't as jealous of Snapper as Snapper is upset about Saoirse, but even still, she grills him and he straight-up calls out her shit, so there's a negative relationship there that is also really cute because the two are 100% united on caring for Lush and worrying about what's going to happen to her if/when she gets her memory back. I need to rp with him more, because this is a really good relationship that I don't explore enough.

Anyway, Snapper is great because he's so prickly and honestly, if we didn't have to interact with him as much as we do, he might not get seen as much, but because he's in so many sessions, he gets to just be a jerk and if he directed it at Saoirse more than she'd clap back and others should do that more. Snapper is just so much fun!

Hint for 39: This character has been to Hell.
