Topic	KP'S Top 40 Characters - Featuring Dante From The Devil May Cry Series
KamikazePotato 02/02/18 3:04:10 PM #49:	Gonna give some quick writeups to some characters that would almost certainly would have appeared on the list if I remembered they existed at the time. These are above the Honorable Mentions. No guarantee I won't do more of these in the future as if I remember more! Rhys (Tales From the Borderlands) https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/3/3d/Rhys_3.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20141218081845 "Oh come on! You can not tell me that wasn't cool!" Tales From the Borderlands is easily my favorite Telltale game, which surprised me a lot as I don't even like Borderlands very much. The cast of characters work best as a cohesive unit, but out of all of them, I think Rhys is the most interesting and drives most of the story. Rhys is an interesting case of a character that seemingly gets less competent as the story goes on. He almost pulls off a big betrayal/heist/whatever in first Episode and it all goes downhill from there. This is partially due to the game using him more as comic relief as time goes on, but the main crux of the issue is that it's because Rhys is trying to be someone he's not. Rhys is part of Hyperion, a company with a corporate structure consisting entirely of backstabbing and ruthlessness. Wanting to move upward in the company and become more successful, Rhys stylizes after the founder of the company, the sociopathic yet charismatic Handsome Jack. He starts off the series doing the same thing everyone else in Hyperiod tries to do - move upwards by using others as stepping stones. It doesn't take. You actually can try to play Rhys as a total scumbag but I think it would feel forced. Over the course of Tales From the Borderlands, Rhys meets people he can trust and forges some pretty unique bonds with them. If Rhys steps out of line, those people react to him accordingly, and man it can feel really bad. There's one scene in the final game of Rhys wandering around the literal wreckage of his previous hopes and dreams as a certain character tells him that this is pretty much what you get for being a jerkass company man. Rhy's gradual transformation over Tales From the Borderlands is one of the biggest highlights in a game where pretty much everyone is a highlight (it's real good, people!). Oh, and he's voiced by Troy Baker, which always helps. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:895323813] in KP'S Top 4...
