The boys have had their turn so now it's time for the girls! They're back and better than ever!
Name: Chatty Charmer/Clarissa Benoit
Age: 33
Height: 5'9
Weight: 135lbs
Nationality: African-American-French
Position: #3 World Circuit
Record: 16-8 (8 KO)
Stance: Orthodox (Right-Handed)
"The heel-clicking, toe-tapping, jazz-loving sweetie all the way from New Orleans, Clarissa lives up to her stage name as she is most definitely a charmer! Whether she's tap-dancing on the side of the street for folks or performing a jazz number inside of a grand performance hall, she always knows how to attract a crowd and boxing is no different! When she retires, she still wants to find a way to keep that dancing soul of hers going"
Name: Frosty Bites/Greta Astrid Winters
Age: Late 50s
Height: 6'4
Weight: 172lbs
Nationality: Russian
Position: #2 World Circuit
Record: 18-7 (12 KO)
Stance: Orthodox (Right-Handed)
"Hailing from an unknown part of Russia and terrifying most that stand in her path, Frosty is a hardened old bird with a heart of cold. She's never seen smiling, not even when she's happy, and always seems to have an icy glare in her eyes. When she isn't shoulder-bashing fools in the boxing ring, she's at her little cottage knitting or wrestling with her pet polar bear, Nikolai. Needless to say, this is one granny who you don't want to fuck with"
Name: Belle Bull/Ceyda Gozu
Age: 35
Height: 6'1
Weight: 162lbs
Nationality: Turkish
Position: #1 World Circuit
Record: 16-7 (14 KO)
Stance: Orthodox (Right-Handed)
"A gruff woman with an incredible beastly temper if you manage to rile her up enough, this rugged beaut was a former model and wrestler before deciding to make the switch over to boxing. Upon her arrival at the WVBA, she locked eyes with Bald Bull and the two fell for each other in and instant. Bull knew he wanted to put a ring on it when he saw her threatening to gut a paparazzi member like a fish. How... romantic..."
Name: Phoenix Burns/Bridgett MacKenzie
Age: 30
Height: 6'
Weight: 138lbs
Nationality: Scottish-Irish
Position: World Circuit Champion
Record: 18-9 (11 KO)
Stance: Orthodox (Right-Handed)
"Long ago, Phoenix had a long row with her mother and ran away from her little home in Scotland to go commit petty crimes like theft and arson to vent out her anger. Her fiery talents were picked up by a travelling circus group and she was brought along with them for a good few years. Unfortunately, that career was cut short after an accident that left her with the signature burn scar on her face. Now, she sits atop the World Circuit as champion, burning down all who dare get in her way."
I'm gonna be honest what started as me just wanting to explore and develop Noelle's magic kinda turned into a rather big au touching politics , economics , culture , the place of magic and mana In a world and its effects and some more .
And because of me exploring the idea we end up with some rather strange and comical consequences . Some of which are :
Asta being a license doctor
Finral mere theoretical existence being terrifying to people in economics
Yami being a god damn enigma to the people of the Clover Kingdom
Noelle disinheriting herself from the Silva family
Asta being a drug dealer
Yuno being on drugs on a regular basis
Capitan Jack consistently trying to steal Asta for the Green Mantis
Yuno being a terror to the Golden Dawn because he reads and rereads most if not all of the books on law and history in the squads library when he's bored
Yami and Finral being each-other's impulse control
ThePoisonQuarter™ consistsing of Gordon , The Guy with the poisonous plants , Mimosa and The Mushroom guy
Yuno having what is essentially God on spied dial and willing to dial the number of God to rat out anyone rude to his brother
Asta being undetectable to most people and scaring them because of it
Noelle learning how to use multiple weapons and being a menace for it
The Blue Roses trying to make Asta their squad head doctor
Yuno using his training as a Shepard™ to deal with the Golden Dawn as their Vice Capitan and later on as the king to the Spade Kingdom
Vanessa messing with Fate to untold amount
Yuno being absolutely terrifying on a broom with only Asta willing to be on it with him flying it
Fuegoleon Vermilion having to deal with the fact that if the current king of Clover doesn't stop being an ashole to their Patron God's favorite humans , he will probably become the new king of Clover
Asta and Yuno acting as actual siblings and terrifying people with it
Finral issuing treats of himself both stop mitigating damages and starting to personally sponsor his squad if someone tries to make the Black Bulls budget smaller
Hage village potatoes being very important to the world building
Fuegoleon Vermilion having to deal with the very real fact that he might become the King of the Diamond Kingdom
Noelle being a genuine reincarnation of a God
People needing spells to amplify sound to try and come close to Asta's voice
The Gods™ and their almost constantly going on wars having Consequence™
Finral being overpowered
Charmy being terrifying
Demons and Spirits both wanting Asta and at the same time wanting him dead
Klause trying to reign his two gremlins and becoming Capitan without realizing it
Asta and Yuno referring to themselves as twins specifically as the Winterfirst™ twins or as most people in the Clover Kingdom knows them The Winter's Brothers™
Magna being the second fastest person on a broom in the Clover Kingdom
Zora learning illusion magic and terrorizing people with it
Yuno , Mimosa and Klause being honorary Black Bulls members because of how much Yuno breaks into their base with those two
Asta being a honorary Blue rose member
Everyone wondering if Meroleona is also a reincarnation of a God or if she's JustLikeThat™ naturally
Asta knowing how to use a bow and being terrifying with it . And later on teaching Noelle how to use it and making her also terrifying with it
Fuegoleon Vermilion having to face the reality that he is probably gonna end up as king
Asta probably being the best hunter in the Clover Kingdom if not the continent
Back on my BUT WHAT IF PREDATHOS IS A GOOD OR NEUTRAL ENTITY HUH????
WHAT THEN???????????
WHAT IF LUDINUS IS ONLY TRYING TO RELEASE PREDATHOS SO HE CAN USE HIS MORE ADVANCED HARNESS THAT HES HAD HUNDREDS OF YEARS TO DEVELOP TO EAT THE GOD EATER AND THEN HE’LL BE ABLE TO EAT THE GODS????????????????????????
WHAT IF THE BELL’S HELLS DISCOVER THAT PREDATHOS EATS GODS “NOT BECAUSE OF MALICE, NOT BECAUSE OF MURDEROUS INTENT, BUT BECAUSE SOME THINGS HAVE TO EAT AND SOME THINGS HAVE TO BE EATEN” (QUOTE FROM MATT MERCER IN EPISODE 71 WHEN THEY WERE IN THE SHATTERED TEETH THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP THINKING ABOUT)??????????????????????
ALL CAMPAIGN WE’VE SEEN THE GOOD SIDE OF “BAD GUYS” LIKE WITH NANA MORRI OR THE NIGHTMARE KING OR BOR’DOR OR EVEN THE PCS THEMSELVES LIKE THEY’RE ALL TEXTBOOK VILLAIN NPCS (except orym thats my father right there)
WHAT IF THAT WAS ALL TO LEAD US TO PREDATHOS ACTUALLY BEING A FINE DUDE??????
Okay but all caps is hurting my eyes so lets discuss:
- we haven’t seen predathos and presumably they’re either asleep or in some sort of dormant state and have been since nearly the beginning of recorded history so there is no record of their form, true power, personality, etc. all we know is they (presumably, but lets be real yes they did) ate two gods
- Predathos was said to create “twisted life” but so far what we’ve seen from the life on Ruidius is just… *different* life. Red and spindly and alien, but not necessarily bad. Yes we’ve seen some reilorans siding with ludinus in the fight near the lava a few episodes back, but we also know that reliorans called by imogen have to do what she says so how do we actually know these ones were working on their own volition/weren’t misguided like bor’dor was?
- Quite a few times in this campaign we’ve been shown the theme that bad things are often not evil or malicious, (and evil things can be useful shoutout to Teven Klask). As mentioned earlier and by many people throughout this campaign: these PCs are easily the villain NPCs in any other dnd campaign
- When they went to the shattered teeth Matt said “You are uncertain who is who, but you get the sense that many innocent creatures have met their end in this land violently, not because of malice, not because of murderous intent, but because some things have to eat and some things have to be eaten.” And ever since I heard him say that I keep wondering if THAT is gonna be who predathos is! Because gods may meet their end to predathos violently, not because of malice, but because *some things have to eat and some things need to be eaten*
- And NOW with the introduction of ludi’s old harness and seeing just how powerful and dangerous it is I absolutely think that Ludinus has been working on a new one since he left molaesmyr and my *theory* is that he’s only trying to release predathos so he can suck in his power (maybe he’ll be the one controlling imogen’s powers then and YIKE) and have the ability to devour the gods/become one himself.
- Imagine how JUICY and INTERESTING it’d be if the hell’s realize that predathos is actually not a bad being, but a being who has been treated badly and then BAMB LUDINUS COMES IN WITH AN UPDATED HARNESS AND SUCKS HIS POWERS INTO HIMSELF?? HOW BATSHIT WOULD THAT BE?????? LIKE??????? COME ON
(This is all speculation I hate when I speculate on this hellsite and someone claims I’m trying to pretend I have a crystal ball that can see into the future with 100% certainty: I’m trying to have fun calm down)
Some interesting excerpts from the Max chapter in Lee McKenzie’s book Inside F1
When Max was at Toro Rosso, Lee and the BBC had a 2 day interview with the Verstappen family. At dinner, the BBC was about to pick up the tab, but Jos said Max would pay. Apparently everyone was stunned. Jos explained that the BBC crew were there as guests and would end up making a lovely feature, and Max should pay to say thank you. Max got out the credit card and paid.
Lee was sitting in the RB energy station after the Spain 2016 win where Max won his first GP immediately after getting promoted. Daniel was sitting there too, and Daniil Kyvat walked in. The two drivers looked at each other, stunned, then laughed and shook their heads. “What the fuck just happened,” Daniel apparently said to Daniil. Lee says that the two probably realised at that moment that their careers and status (in Red Bull) had changed.
David Coulthard introduced Lee to Max. In her words, the intro was very DC - “witty, funny, and completely inappropriate”. Lee said she rolled her eyes but “poor Max went bright red, like any normal teenager would”. But, she went on to say, he wasn’t a normal teenager. He was self assured, without arrogance, despite having Red Bull and Mercedes bidding on him.
