GARGOYLES - CHARACTERS

AND NOW FOR SOME PEOPLE YOU MIGHT APP!

The Clan -

I'm starting with Elisa because I would be lying if I said I didn't want her most.



Elisa Maza is one of the very few humans to reach out to and befriend a clan of gargoyles. She's a detective of the NYPD, and is a badass normal in a world where you can have wings and claws and still be normal. This is a woman who, when cornered by a werewolf without her gun, doesn't scream for her monster buddies to come save her - she grabs whatever happens to be nearest and hits the werewolf in the face.

At the same time, she's also a warm, compassionate, humorous person. She's a detective because she cares about people, and believes in upholding justice to make the city a safer place for upstanding, moral citizens to live.

Elisa and Goliath have pretty much been in love with each other since night two. They spend most of the series dancing around their UST, being best friends who love and support each other even when they disagree and generally having THE LONGEST Disney courtship, while still also having this strangely mature and functional relationship-that's-not-a-relationship, since, you know, interspecies. It's kind of a complication.

If Elisa was on the ship, she and Goliath would be the most awesome badass normal battle couple, and also he would be about a 110% less sad. Also, the Meatship would be about 10% more awesome by my count, since Elisa is easily one of the greatest female characters in western animation, and I would totally play her myself, if I wasn't already playing her not-boyfriend.



THE TRIO

They're very confused as to why nobody's apped them yet, when they're so great.

Left to right, Broadway, Brooklyn, and Lexington. These guys are the younger members of Wyvern Clan. They each range across being serious young warriors and gargoyle youths with their own foibles and areas of interest.

Broadway, the big guy, is the group sweetheart. He likes westerns and detective noir films, and is the most interested in Elisa's job as a detective, going so far as to follow her around on duty once every now and then. He's also got a hate-on for guns, and is surprisingly scary when he's angry, in a beware-the-nice-ones kind of way.

Brooklyn is the fan-favorite, a bit of an adrenaline junkie, and probably the one of the trio who has the most problems with Manhattan, where humans are even more scared of gargoyles than they were in Scotland. He just wants to fit in and chill out, bros. =\ Brooklyn is the second-in-command after Goliath, and has skills as a military tactician. Also, sarcasm.

Lexington is word-of-Gay and the Smart Guy of the trio. He's a genius-level engineer, and picks up mechanics and computer science really quickly. He's somehow learned to type with four fingers. Also, surprisingly good with kids. But probably not as good as he is at building motorcycles after riding them once.



HUDSON.

He's old, and he's a badass. Kinda more into staying back and guarding the castle/clocktower/whatever we're guarding these days while the younger clan goes out on patrol, but still. He's an old badass. Every game needs more of these.
