Summer Tribe Award: Most Dramatic Character

Breaking down the Summer 2009 "Tribe Awards" presented to KTDARPG players by the votes of their fellow players, with tributes to the show that continues to inspire us!

Category: Most Dramatic Character
Winner: Tristan
Runner Up: Hawk
Runner Up: Domino

What makes a character "dramatic"? For the purposes of this poll, it had to do with how deep the character was. Deep in back-story. Deep in character development. Even deep in angst worked.

Tristan was the clear winner with 41% of votes. This is a very well-developed character, with tons of connections throughout our game landscape and loads of backstory, a lot of which has been included in-game through flashbacks. If you've followed any of the recent Tristan/Cecily/Jet developing thread...well, the angst is very apparent.

Hawk was runner up with 29% of votes. Again, this female character is very well developed mostly inside the game. She lost her family, lost an important part of her New World family, then lost an eye battling evil. Angst would be her middle name, most definitely.

Domino is relatively new in the game but has already made an impression (18% of votes). Not a lot of backstory, so going on what's in game we've been given just enough to imagine the rest. He lost an eye; he found out he had a son he didn't know about... oh yeah, there is definitely angst & violence in his future.

But to be fair, an awful lot of our characters have great character development going for them & some very heavy histories & situations since the Virus. These were just the top 3 of a very large heap.
