Favorite Character:
Finally, a no-brainer. It's Troubadour. Definitely
Troubadour, my almost washed-up superhero in Justin Davis’ “Fair City” Champions campaign. A former child-star who took up superheroing
to stay in the limelight, who legally changed his name to Troubadour. He started off rough. His career was on the downswing, he was
considered a local joke, and he didn’t even take himself all that
seriously. But a new team of heroes
roped him in and convinced him his experience was worthwhile. He grew into the job, got his life together, and ended up leading
the team.
The best thing about him was the Troubadour Revenge Squad, a
collective of female supervillains who’d all been spurned by him at one point
or another. Some of them actually went
out and acquired superpowers after he hurt them. His best character arc as far as I’m
concerned was his romance with Gorgon, an NPC heroine, where he finally grew up
and put his playboy ways behind him.
When her secret ID was compromised and her career destroyed, he opted to
put Fair City behind him stood beside her on a journey that took him out of the
campaign. He remains the only character I've ever voluntarily retired, because his story was over.
