Board 8 > Ermine Ranks His Top 52 Characters in Scarlet's DC TTRPG

(+) Yeah! (+)

Corduroy?

Oh man, this hint feels really tough for some reason. I want to say it might be Arisia?

Brennus.

Would not expect Noosphere

Olin?

My pattern recognition skills say this should be a member of the Green Lantern Corps.

There's one who pairs with Artemis and does some not bright things.

That is Arisia.

#32: Arisia

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/5/5/AAOJ0pAADZsH.png

Uhoh, it seems like I've been found out and that there's a PATTERN currently.

Anyways! You've got it! This is Arisia, another Lantern on the list! (I like Lanterns)

When we were first introduced to her, she didn't make the best first impression on Data 7, calling him as well as the other PCs a bunch of humies.

Data 7 is no humie! Which he quickly informed her, though I don't think she understood at first.

He couldn't be upset with her for long though. Arisia is very uh... high energy, cheerful and bubbly. Kind of hard to stay mad at. Especially when she finds you out and about Oa trying to capture B'dg!

+HM: B'dg

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/0/4/AAblU3AADvKU.jpg

Oh B'dg... He's sneaky, he is. Data 7 learned about what had happened to Ch'p through Morro, he was even more curious about B'dg after he'd seen the creature frequently flying through Oa's skies.

Data 7 tried MULTIPLE times to try and talk to B'dg as he flew out above but he would ignore Data 7 EVERY SINGLE TIME!

This is where Arisia comes in. She would find Data 7 lamenting in his sorrow as he would fail to catch and talk to B'dg... and that's when they'd start cooking up plans to CATCH B'dg.

And so started the dangerous team of Arisia and Data 7 as they thought up bad plans to try and catch the evasive Lantern. Arisia is VERY agreeable, so basically anything Data 7 suggested, she would be up for trying. Such as making a net with her ring to try and catch B'dg... and when that failed, trying TWO nets instead of one. If they aren't careful they might get into some real trouble by trying three nets...

Either way, they've had some cute conversations that have spurred from Data 7 trying to speak to and interact with B'dg. She's been fun.

B'dg WOULD have made the list probably if he'd spoken to Data 7 for more than like one line. They are currently playing... 'tag'. Data 7 caught B'dg once but then he tagged him back instantly and then zoomed off.

Y'know B'dg, tag isn't very fun if your opponent can't fly after you at alarming speeds.

That being said, I like that he's got a bit of an attitude, though I wonder how long it might be before we get beyond, "hey try and catch me"

2024 anyone?

Hint for #31:

I'm afraid to say... that the pattern continues for One. More. Pick.

Someone needs to post how Arisia plays with her Thor action figure.

Guess is... hmm. Charaxes?

I think Winged Victory isn't making the list at this point, so I'll go with Mister Stubbs.

Yay Arisia!

Stubbs

Rot lop fan

The pattern was real, I can't believe I kinda nailed a prediction. The Lantern Corps seems like a lot of fun characters to interact with.

#31: Kent V. Nelson

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/8/9/AAblU3AADvYJ.png

Once more we return to Vegas because those sessions were a ton of fun! And Kent is right smack dab in the middle of the chaos that were those sessions.

I mentioned before Aria and Noosphere being a part of Silhouette's little thing going on for the Vegas sessions. Kent was a part of mine! We all got super drunk and found ourselves separated in the morning. Each of us had like 15-20 minute little sections before we'd switch to the next person and Data 7 started off with Kent, both of them sleeping outside next to a building, being arrested for it.

Data 7 paid the cop off for it... and paid for Kent too.

Data 7 was about to head off in search of the rest of his party as they had work to do, but Kent wanted to pay back Data 7 first... at least I THINK he did, either way, he led him to Martina and her shop and slowly Data 7 started to learn more about this "weapon" and what was actually going down in Vegas through Kent and Martina.

One of the things that sold me on Kent (tho at the time I had Han messaging me in DMs over and over that KENT WAS BIG or something), was when we finally had a chance to rest, Kent went over his story, and how he was being called by the weapon, whatever was being stored and held up by all of this intense security. It was calling him, something that needed him to find it.

And while was telling his story, Scar had Wind Scene playing from CT.

I love this song a ton so it made the little bit of story telling extra cool for me. Good stuff!

And what would that weapon be? Well, none other than the Helm of Fate of course! It was Kent's destiny to become the new Doctor Fate, despite his rather humble upbringing and personality. It was an interesting choice for sure and the rest of Vegas since meeting Kent was a lot of fun. We'd work together to get Kent all of the way to the Helmet and eventually get him back to Z'onn Z'orr. Data 7 hasn't had too many interactions with Kent since he was brought back but I've always enjoyed seeing interactions between him and Martina (who was also a lot of fun).

The Vegas bloc was really a ton of fun for me, I really really enjoyed the sections that each PC got because it really got each of us to shine in our own ways and get to know these other NPCs a bit better as well. We each got to have our own influence on the story that took place there and I think there's definitely something to be said for that. I'd really enjoy to do something like that again, was great stuff.

Hint for #30:

This character has become stronger since the start of the campaign.

EXTRA HINT: THE PATTERN IS BROKEN!

This one is Corduroy

TC

Jaime?

Corduroy TECHNICALLY is correct.

Oh Dang I forgot you have Dr Fate hanging out with your group.

That's a really heavy hitter.

Well, Kent V. Nelson - he's not the original, and he has only minimal training with just one of the trappings of Fate... for the moment.

Forgive my lack of DC knowledge but isn't the helmet what grants all the power?

The Helm is the main source of power, but he also has a cloak and an amulet as well.

Ah see I did not know that. Cool.

If the cloak, amulet, and helm were split among multiple people, would that create multiple Doctor Fates?

Maybe...

#30: T.C. (The Cat)

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/6/3/AAblU3AADvhH.png

Look at this mischievous fellow!

This is Animal Man's cat! We brought him back from LA pretty early on in the campaign, along with the rest of Animal Man's family... except for the grandmother... I guess... I wonder who accidentally killed her... couldn't have been me!

Anyways. Almost instantly I felt a good connection with this kitty cat. As Artemis had stayed at the Baker Household, I figured that he would have hit it off decently with T.C. so I played it off as them being pretty good buddies to start. I really enjoy the relationship that Data 7 and T.C. have. They are sort of always trying to one up each other, but just teasingly so. He almost feels like an older brother... or maybe like an older cousin would fit better for T.C.

There's been some problems though... see... T.C. sorta likes Pixie... or liked? And this became a problem for a bit since Data 7 was like HEY, SHE'S MINE!

But T.C. is a cat that forgets, or maybe it's better to say that he doesn't hold a grudge or have a care in the slightest. The next time they would meet up, Data 7 would be upset with T.C. for liking Pixie... and T.C. kind of forgot about the whole thing between him and Data 7, just wanting to go back to being buds.

Another important thing to note is that T.C. is VERY good at nabbing, and that he ends up in our Holding Cells a lot of the time.

If you want something nabbed, you go to T.C.

If you want to see T.C.... well, he's either playing with Maxine Baker or in Holding. Try those two places.

But yeah, Data 7 and T.C. relationship is a lot of fun and Scar took what I was kind of going for in terms of how they'd act around each other.

Right now though... Data 7 is ANGRY with T.C. because he left Big Troubles to join the awful Passable Persuasions. Absolutely betrayed Data 7... though I'm sure he won't think it that way or will have forgotten that that's a PROBLEM!

Hint for #29:

Deez...

Guy?

Richard...

Richard

Encantadora

nu-- Richard!?

Bird

Data 7 accidentally killed Animal Man's grandmother?

It wasn't an accident, so much as he just didn't know at the time.

She was trying to stab my eyes out!

#29: Richard

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/1/4/AAblU3AADvpu.png

Perhaps my easiest hint... but I was PRESSURED into it on voice, okay?!

Richard was another of the Convoy crew but uh... he wasn't originally a part of them. When they are out in the wild, or outdoors, Data 7 likes to go out and try and get info from the local wildlife. This was one of the first times he did it and met Richard, asking him about if he had seen anything or knew anything. Was just trying to get a little bit of extra info that could help us out with our current predicament. Gave him some chips and then went their separate ways.

But Richard kept coming back! Each time we would snap back in to continue the Convoy, Richard would be nearby as he was now following it, and Data 7 would go say hi.

Richard is... well... how do I explain Richard. He's goofy and has a Mexican accent. I know scar has a lot of fun playing him. Richard likes to describe everything as rocks or is at least, partially obsessed with rocks.

That's probably good enough.

Richard is a lot of fun though, whenever we would head back to help out the Convoy, I was always excited to see what Richard was up to this time and what kind of random things he would talk about that would involve rocks.

And we were able to convince him to come back to Z'onn Z'orr with us! There isn't TOO much to explore with Richard, he's more of a comic relief character for sure, but he always provides in that regard!

Hint for #28:

This character was in Campaign 1 as well!

Brutale!

Brutale might drop here.

And I'm glad you enjoy this guy, you know?

Nora backwards

#28: Roulette

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/8/2/AAblU3AADvt6.png

Queen and leader of the Metabrawl, Roulette is definitely one of the more complicated and involved characters that appears on my list!

Artemis really didn't have... any? interactions with Roulette at all back in Campaign 1, that was more Obrov's thing (JB's character for C1). But I had always enjoyed her character, even back then.

Going into C2 though, she was one of the first people we met up in when we went to Vegas and a LOT of the spotlight was on Metabrawl as well as the building it was being housed in. Part of our plan to steal the "weapon" was to use the Metabrawl building as a distraction, and that meant getting Roulette on board. Thankfully she wanted to use us as well so it all fit in well with her plans.

Unfortunately for Roulette, and basically EVERYONE in Vegas, the whole thing would come tumbling down and Kent would end up with the Helm of Fate.

In terms of making deals and everything, each PC sort of took point on each different section in Vegas and I felt Data 7 and Roulette, as well as the rest of Metabrawl made a good fit!

Once HIVE swooped on in, Roulette decided to come back with us to Z'onn Z'orr. After all, Metabrawl wasn't really going to happen in Vegas anymore and... she was always cooking something up.

That would lead to Metabrawl being built and started in Z'onn Z'orr itself!

We haven't gotten TOO deep into it yet, but Data 7 has gone to Roulette a number of times already wanting to work with her.

Roulette isn't strong herself, but she surrounds herself with strong allies. Data 7 is... aware of this, but he also understands she can turn him into what he wants to be, or at least, help him give off the image he wants.

So, that starts with Roulette building up the idea of Data 7 being the villain of Metabrawl, the one everyone cheers against!

Not EXACTLY what Data 7 had in mind. He wants people to love him... but he also wants people to fear him, to fear his strength and whatnot.

Roulette and Data 7 have had a bunch of good little conversations that I've appreciated and I think their relationship is definitely, or could be one of the most interesting ones. It all really depends how deep Data 7 wants to dip his toes into the villainous side of things and how much he allows Roulette to manipulate him. She'll help fulfill his own goals, sure, but how much of it is really just to help Roulette herself is the big question.

I feel a BIT bad that JB wasn't a part of Vegas since he really likes Roulette, but at least we have a couple others here giving her some screentime!

Hint for #27:

This character was in Campaign 1 as well!

Roulette is bae

Oh, that's a big surprise! But a welcome one.

I'll bat .000 and go with Brutale again.

Brutale

The drama!

So is Metabrawl like pro wrestling?

Some of us treat it that way

Metabrawl is a little bit of wrestling, a little bit of MMA, and of course based on the concept from comics, so a lot of shady superfighting.

Metabrawl was a major part of my character's (Obrov) story in campaign one.

I haven't really interacted with Roulette this campaign but she would've been probably top 3 for my character in campaign 1

#27: Catman

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/9/7/AAOJ0pAADY6x.jpg

I had to use the hint again since you were all guessing Brutale for the other one, haha.

Catman is a bit of a roller coaster for me. I wasn't too interested in him at his first introduction, all the way back in Campaign 1 but he started to grow on me as it went on, Artemis would often come across him when going to visit his pride of lions, though it was mostly just Hector.

Catman would be found doing pushups or some sort of physical activity and Artemis would give him a snack, to make sure he didn't get hungry!

Fastforward to this campaign where Catman kind of... he's off the rails now. I mean, he had his whole pride killed, including Hector and Deadshot may (or may not) have been responsible for it. Thank goodness we had Hector in a crystal to calm Catman down, otherwise... hmm... I don't know how that would have gone.

Either way, the session to Lamumba is pretty high up there for me in terms of sessions. And we got a lot of cool Catman moments... AND WERE STOLEN ONE where Catman could have inherited the power of a Lion through Hector... but then Cheetah stole it because she had her powers taken away and she was being all bab about it. How could you do this to us, Cheetah...?

Anyways, one of the cool things in particular about Hector and Catman in this campaign is that since Hector is in a crystal and everything, he's actually able to communicate with everyone. I think it's cool that we've been able to get verbal interaction between the two and see how Catman reacts to the things that Hector says, even convincing him not to get mad about his death as well as the rest of the pride.

I'm excited to go back to Lamumba and see how that all unfolds and see what else is in store for Catman, as well as LITTLE CUB?!

Hint for #26:

We haven't seen this character for awhile...

The Thing That Cannot Die

Cheetah is so Bab.

Brother Eye?
