#44 - Blue Devil

This one is proof to me how non-objective my rankings are. Blue Devil has been with us since basically the start of the campaign. He's been consistently great. But he was a Lush-centric character for the most part. it wasn't until recently that he became more involved with Brennus' storyline. And thus it wasn't until recently that he placed on my list.

But I think that's fair. It's my list, so obviously it's going to be made up of characters that I interact with and that I like. So there.

Blue Devil is one of the magicians in Oblivion, a magical bar that is attached to Z'onn Z'orr when we rescued them in like, week 2 of the campaign and they allied with us. Most residents of Oblivion cannot leave without instantly summoning the Spectre. Blue Devil is one of the exceptions - as long as he leaves his magical trident behind, he's safe to leave. I'll leave how Blue Devil fits into Lush's story for Scare's list, but recently, Brennus found himself in need of a new magical trainer in Oblivion. The pool of options is limited and no one jumped out as the obvious choice to me. Ragman spoke to me as a player, since Varra had lots of interactions with him in Campaign 1, but I don't know how well he fits with Brennus and also he's Saoirse's teacher. Enchantress is scary and has basically told Brennus she expects him to die. Encantadora is even scarier. Constantine has shown a level of disinterest that... well, that he probably shows to everyone if I think about it. Blue Devil kind of became a by default choice.

But he was the right choice.

He has a combination of physical strength and magical abilities, like Brennus. Unlike Brennus' last teacher, he's not buttering him up and constantly talking about how great Brennus is - but that is what Brennus needs. Blue Devil doesn't hold back in telling Brennus everything he does wrong and everything he needs to do to improve. His lessons are much more practical than theoretical. And the more time Brennus has spent with him the more he has begun to open up. He lashes out at Brennus for being brash and reckless because he's seen another teenager that he cared for suffer horribly for being brash and reckless. He had a partner who goes by the name Kid Devil. From what Lush and Brennus have pieced together, Kid Devil got beaten up horribly and then made a literal deal with a devil for devil powers, changing him into something no longer human. The name Kid Devil went from being a moniker based off his costume to an actual description. Where is Kid Devil now, what is he up to, and what effect will finding him have on Blue Devil?

Brennus has only had two lessons with Blue Devil so far, but each time he has, Blue Devil has jumped up my list. As they continue, I suspect that Blue Devil will end up even higher than this.

Hint for #43 - This character was met by the party in outer space.
