Forums » Forum Games » Character matching

So, we've had picking your favorite character out of someone's line-up, stealing one, describing one, but I noticed there wasn't quite one that focussed on seeing what character of yours could be an interesting combo with the one of the person above you.
It can be anything, really. Maybe you have a great villain to someone's hero, or the other way around. Maybe you can see the characters work romantically or just platonically. Anything goes, as long as you've actually read the other person's character sheet and aren't just dumping in a canned response, really.

So yeah, feel free to start with Benjiboy over here? Who'd you pit him with and why?

I think Elaine would do a match. Why? Well she likes to drink alot, and Benjamin is bartender, not to mention she may or may not pay the bill which can lead to several ends which can be good, bad or fun, also she likes to travel, and can be talkative about her problems so there's that.Regarding her personality I think she's quite flexible so I believe she would be fine.

Lance would be a cool match, as her being a good-aligned mercenary could make her an interesting opponent to him. He's demon and a downright nasty one at that, so it wouldn't be unthinkable that he gets a mercenary sent after him, or the other way around, if she's up to business that might mess up his schemes.

I think Alexander and him would hit it off as being Rivals. Alexander has a bit of a backstory for being the goody two shoe knight but being blessed with the holy light has kinda...Well depending on the story made him immortal. I could see the way these two would butt heads using their charm maybe in a love triangle sort of way for a fair maiden's heart.

Ysertra would probably be perplexed with Alexander. Upon hearing about him she'd flip open her book of secrets and go right to his page only to find that not only does he have nothing to exploit, but he's practically morally pure and fought against demonkind in a war she wasn't even alive for. She'd be even more upset about the fact that someone knew something she didn't seeing how knowing things was kind of the reason she was alive. In spite of that, she'd probably try to find different ways to slay the hero in an attempt to make herself a more well-known demon among the nine hells. All of her attempts failing with her employing various underhanded tactics to beat him. She'd basically be that Saturday morning cartoon villain that always loses, monologues, and is among a rogues gallery of bad guys the hero deals with on the regular

Blaise and Ysertra would probably be Frenemy's, while he could understand her logical and stoic viewpoint, he would have to stand her superiority complex which might be hard, It could be unnerving that she knows everything about him and his past but he knows so little about her, Also since Blaise is demon lord, she would to some extent listen to his orders even though she was in hell much longer than he was, not all orders but some.

Alex's big shtick in fantasy scenarios is that he has a personal vendetta against demon-kind ever since one possessed him and used his own hands to kill his uncle, so he'd probably be a strong antagonist to Blaise. In a more light setting, Alex being this much trouble for a mere human could become a running gag among Blaise's party, with moments like;

"He survived?!
-Of course. Of course he did. Why wouldn't he? It's not like he's just a human or something!
-He's still coming!
-WE BROKE HIS LEGS, HOW IS HE EVEN STANDING UP?!"

In darker settings, their entire relationship could be an observation akin to "When you stare long enough into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you," with Blaise wondering if being a demon makes him automatically evil, and Alex wondering if his obsession with killing every demon he comes across is making him veer off the deep end.
