Marks Best Original Character

[jsanudo]

Who was/is Marks best original character (not just the best stats, but the best character)? Here is a short list of some of his standout original characters.

Czar
Dar Gova
Viggo
Shylock
Stigma
Puma
Yuri
Quetzal
Dr. Barnabas
Rubicon
Pendekar
Prell
Zed Marlowe
Xenia
Saboteur
Raze
Sentinel
Indigo
Ahnu
Onami
Willow
Morgana
Hanuman
Stigma

Here is my pick:

ZED MARLOWE--- While most would pick Saboteur or Shylock (and why not? They are incredible characters), I picked Zed because he has shown a wide range of emotions. He was first a bumbling youngster who would do anything to get in the ring (quack quack). Then, more of his talent blossomed and was able to showcase more of what he can do in the ring, even though he was still a youngster. Then, a dream came true and he was able to be managed by one of his heros. That is when his character really fleshed out. His boyhood hero became less and less of what he use to be and Zed did not want to admit it(how many of us have seen our boyhood idols in a different light as we, and they, grow older?) Zed finally had to realise that his hero was no longer the same man that he use to be. To me, that was just as emotional as Saboteurs plot.

Here are my other favs:
2. Saboteur
3. Dar Gova
4. Puma
5. T.K.

Thanks, J.

I will have to go with Shylock, Sabotuer and Puma and Raze. They have all had some pretty interesting changes in the short run of the CpC.

Coolest character is Stigma.

I'm not actually on CPC yet, but have the sets and keep up with everything.

Love the Saboteur/Shylock twists. Helped them get over as major players quick.

But, I love ol' Zed. I think he has some great potential as a great character.

I love the Barabas revelation to Puma, although not a big fan of Puma. Just seemed to tried to be the Wolf of the CPC.

The whole Darwin's storyline was the best. Great stuff.

Its funny that you have Angst as #2 favorite, but Raze as your #3 least favorite...since its the same character. However, I do have to agree with you that the character has flopped since he became Raze (partly due to Tom tinkering with the mechanics that made the Raze card worse than Angst, when it should have been an upgrade).

I gotta agree with Juston that Zed is my favorite of Mark's original characters. The Prince Zed card is also one of my favorites.
