..As seen through the view of Scarletspeed7's TTRPG
I am most likely the final participant in this ranking topic, unless Scar himself makes one himself, or others decide to go for a second ranking. Rankings are rankings, you get one you get the gist of it. My rankings may be a bit different in that I am the first person that has unlocked a second character. The second recently was also unlocked, but I do not believe Wickle will be doing a ranking. So some of these rankings are from 3 eyes in both characters and myself, and others could be just the one where the character had the impact on me directly. Regardless I love this campaign, I am quite the addict and this list was very difficult to make as my first run through had me list more than 150 characters. Expect many many honorable mentions.
But before we get to the ranking I have to introduce both Cynthia (aka Lush aka Ros) and Xander (aka Fastbreak)

Cynthia Redford is about 22 and a native to Napa California, but she calls all of California her home as she resides in LA, SF, and even sometimes in Sacramento at any given time. But home is home and more often than not you could find her in Napa.Her family owns a winery called Redford Wine. At the young age of two her grandma dipped her pacifier in wine to give her a taste thinking it was cute. What happened though was little Cyndi reached out for a rose that started to blossom before them all. In time they would realize their little girl was special, she had an ability to influence plants. As she got a little older, she began assisting the winery herself, making incredible grapes and helping fast track some of the processing, it put Redword Wines on the map and her family made a lot of money off her hard work.
Cynthia has played the role of both villain and hero in her time in the cape community.
She was mostly a supercriminal that destroyed and stole property all up and down California; LA to The Bay. Her boyfriend Bolt and her had a showdown with their enemy The Blue Devil at the Warner Brothers lot that saw Cynthia shoved into a closet while Bolt left himself take the fall which allowed Ros to bide her time until she could escape. With Bolt in prison she turned to her not caped friends for something to do and they decided that the best course of action was to go to Vegas and shake it off before going back home to Napa. They did, they had fun, caught a Zatanna show, and went home. While there she really started turning over if she wanted to be a villain and she decided instead to try out what it was like to be a hero instead. I mean she was a fan of Robin, maybe if she did well she could try out for the Titans to meet him, right? And thus Ros was retired and Lush was born. She played the role of hero for a while until one night when she was leaving one of her familys mixers. Checkmate descended on her, capturing her and shoving her in a tube for months. When she would awake and be taken to Zonn Zorr Amanda Waller casually said hello by calling her LAs most wanted. Lush was well aware who Waller was, as Bolt was a member of her Suicide Squad Welcome to Checkmate? To Cynthia this was Welcome to Hell.
At least thats what she thought.
About eight weeks into the campaign we were in Gateway City and there was a tv broadcast going on that wasnt the equation. Between that and what the people around her were saying they learned the basis of which The Society was formed: Zatanna had been mind wiping villains, and this was all her fault. This sent Lush into a panic because in her forgetful mind, she believed she went to a Zatanna show and then when she got home she just decided to be a hero? What? Was she wiped too? She became a bit obsessive with the thought and learning about Zatanna and what she had done. Eventually she asked our dear Madame Xanadu if someone had messed with her mind and the response was a startling affirmation of her worst thoughts. Ros had been mind wiped, and all signs pointed to Zatanna Zatara
Since learning more about who she really was shes learned she actually started as a hero and then later became a villain. She also apparently owes a lot of money to Robert Redford who she was wiped from knowing was her uncle. She was investigating Zatanna before the mind wipes were revealed, she had gone to war against Zatanna by taking down her loved ones. She left one girl left for dead, but she eventually fell into a coma, and then she just put another woman straight in a coma. Somewhere along the line she got an invitation to The Society. She was told straight out at one point she was slotted in to be part of the Society cell in Alcatraz. Moreso she had an even higher connection in the Society left to still tap- but who it was wont be revealed unless Cynthia makes herself whole and lets Ros out to play again.
At one point, I think after the confirmation of the wipe from Xanadu, Scar asked me if it were okay if he took a bit of control on what Lushs true backstory was. I have been all for it and he still communicates with me and allows me to give input on certain things I think would be happening and it does not feel like Im being steered in any direction. I still have all the freedom to give my (sometimes false!) backstory and I get this amazing mystery I get to unravel along the way. So before the rankings start Thank you Scar for having an amazing campaign and taking our input and actions to help mold who we are and what the world can be.
