So now, let's hear your predictions for the following categories...

Quote:

Absolute Locks: (You can't imagine that these characters will not be on the next team.)

CrazySugarFreakBoy!, Citizen Z, Ham-Boy, Yuki (looking at the teaser images in UT #337), Visionary (from latest chapter), Al B. Harper

Quote:

Likely picks: (Not quite as sure about these, but you'd still be surprised if they weren't)

Alcheman, Goldeneyed, Donar (based on comments that this will be one of the most powerful line-ups we've seen), Silicone Sally, Randy Clement,

Quote:

Likely Leaving/not joining: (Current or recent characters from Untold Tales that you have a strong suspicion aren't going to join up with the next LL.)

Icy, Dancer, Nats, Kerry Shepherdon, Fashion Accessory, Harlagaz, Vespiir, Anna, Manga Shoggoth, Librarian

Quote:

Surprising Picks: (These choices may be out of left-field, forced on the team by the government or just HH having a laugh. You're not sure at all about these, but call it a hunch or just a fun idea.)

David Bookman, Anvil Man, Aryan Ideal,

Quote:

Support Staff: (Which supporting characters will be around, and in what roles?)

Sergeant MacHarridan - Security
Joan Henry - Bodyguard of Magweed and Griffin
Flapjack - Major Domo
Hallie - Communications/Ops
Dancer - Press Secretary
Licensing/Business Manager - Action Figure

Quote:

Random Line-up thoughts: (The write in portion of the survey.)

I put Dancer in the Press person role because I think Action Figure follows Dreams lead a little too blindly; Amber was willing to stand up to him to say what she thought, whereas Dream's mom supports him no matter what he does, and since he is in a leadership position I don't know if that's the best professional relationship.

However, I don't think Action Figure should be bumped from the cast. Put her on the business end of things, I think there are chances for some good humour and also for the character to show she's more than just blonde hair and implants. Her background in show biz could see her with some insights into the business world.

Man, the Aryan Ideal would be one hell of a surprise pick!

Interesting thoughts on Dancer and Action Figure. I could stand to see a shake-up there as well, since I think we've done the risque joke of the porn star press secretary pretty well by now. A new position for both of them could be interesting to explore.

I don't really think of Joan Henry as "Legion Staff" myself, so I hope other people don't feel obligated to treat her as such. She was privately hired by Vizh and Hallie to guard their house and kids. Since it's on land (sometimes) that's under Sgt. MacHarridan's jurisdiction, she's got to coordinate with him, but that's as far as the link needs to go. She doesn't need to be included in any Legion business.

If I were to make an effort to stack the Legion staff with my own favorite cast people, I'd create the Legion Counselor job and put Ms. Pfeffercorn in it. My ego thankfully isn't there yet.
