Relationship Chart: Wraith

Heroes

Hokiri Takeichi
Man, I don’t get this guy. His power is broken as shit, obviously, so why wouldn’t he use it? I bet you all he’d have to do to get the Empire or the ABB out of town is tell them to run. Easily could be a Triumvirate candidate if he wanted, and I don’t understand why he clearly doesn’t.

Endstopper
He’s a fucking endbringer. My only saving grace against him is that I can teleport the fuck out of dodge. Really, the winning strategy against him is to not do anything stupid enough that the Protectorate decides he’s an appropriate countermeasure to whatever I’m doing. Priority number one, if we’re up against him for some ungodly reason, is getting my team out of there.

Buckshot
You know why they let Miss Militia use guns? Because she’s shooting rubber bullets. Following the rules. Meanwhile, this asshole doesn’t. I’ve seen the video of him blowing Werewolf’s head off, and as much as I’d love to do that in theory, in practice it’s completely outside of the code. He’s not playing the same game the rest of us are, and it’s going to rightfully bite him in the ass.

The Hopeman
Considering how much tinker AI freaks people out, I’m surprised he’s still around. Probably doesn’t count as biological for my striker power, meaning he’d kick my ass. Don’t know enough about him to pass much more judgement than that.

Bumble
Oh God, she gives me a headache. Imagine a chick the size of a fly blasting you with a billion beams of energy, while also talking shit to you in that stupid patronizing hero way, and you have Bumble. She’s like a peppy chipmunk with the most annoying power in the universe. Theoretically not even that hard for me to take on, but just… no.

Toymaker
Reminds me of Parian. Credit where it’s due, at least she makes her bots kinda cute, instead of making them demented Furbies or something. Definitely would prefer not to tango with her when she’s in that mech.

Sorcerer
Definitely envy his versatility, but I don’t know what would prevent me from just doing hit and runs on him over and over again. More chill than the other two from what I understand, but he’s still on the same team as Bumble, so clearly he fucked up somewhere along the way.

Hero
She’s probably batshit, but she has balls to take that name. I don’t know what her limits are, and I don’t know if she knows what her limits are, either. Scary.

Scribe
Look, I respect the fantasy theme, I truly do. But this dude is like Bumble-lite in that he needs to shut the fuck up. The second I hear him declaring his next attack, I’m outta there.

Glory Girl
This one’s hard. I know we’re supposed to be on opposite sides, but the thing is that we have two classes together, and she’s actually… pretty okay? She’s automatically one of the popular kids because of her powers, but she’s not a bitch about it, and seems like a genuinely decent person. I’m honestly kinda trying to avoid her at school because of how complicated anything even resembling friendship would be.
…On the other hand, Tattletale’s got a really good nickname for her.

Panacea
We share a class, and that class is plenty of time for me to know that she is, in fact, a massive bitch. Zero fucking clue how her and Victoria are from the same family. I’d rather we never end up dealing with her on account of her being fucking Panacea, but if I’m put in a situation where I have to hit her pressure points, I’m not going to lose sleep over it.

Pigger
He’s… a literal hog. On two legs. Like some kind of cartoon. It’s so stupid it’s kinda funny. Given his combat style seems to resolve around him charging, pretty sure all I’d have to do is, uh, teleport out of the way, and that solves that.

Roadrunner
And now we’re on to the literal cartoon capes. He’s new enough that I don’t really know a ton about him, but that power set freaks me out a little bit, to be honest. Too unpredictable.

Vigilantes

Ghostboy 2
He’s what happens when you give powers to some guy with schizophrenia. Doubt he’d be amenable to talking things out, and a fight between us would probably consist of us both having no idea where the opponent is. I still have no clue where the 2 comes from.

Dreadge
Nope. Nope, nope, nope.

Singularity
“Hey Wraith, what do you think about the living black hole?” I think the living black hole would absolutely fucking demolish me if given the chance, so uh, he definitely spooks me a bit.

Omnigirl
Alexandria: Chaotic Neutral edition, for better or worse. Definitely grateful to the powers that be that she plays by the rules, at least, because otherwise we’d all be fucked. I can’t help but wonder why she didn’t join the Protectorate, if she’s ultimately trying to put bad guys away; too much red tape?

Sniper
Oh good, because one Buckshot wasn’t enough. Fuck this guy. I don’t know if my team’s going to be a part of it, but now that Sniper’s name is out there, I hope somebody deals with him.

Helieson
I don’t know a ton about what her power does for her in a fight, but the idea of getting randomly sent to a “fighting dimension” because some chick said so is worrying. Definitely concerned about how her power interacts with my invisibility and teleportation, particularly whether she’d cut off my mobility; I really, really wouldn’t want to have to rely on my striker power alone.

Villains

Werewolf
Fuck this asshole. He was just another player running smash and grabs in Brockton Bay, and then he went on this stupid conquest against Weaver, which he also tried to drag my team into. No surprise that he threw a hissy fit when we told him no. Still, his durability is pretty insane, and the fact that he could regenerate getting half his head blown off is wild. He’d be a tough fight.

Brand Yamamoto
Get me as far away from whatever the hell this thing is as possible.

Mr. Skeltal
You know what? In a city of white supremacists, gangs, human trafficking and drug dealing, this dude is just a genuine comedy villain. He’s like Uber and Leet if they were actually as funny as they thought they were. He’s also made something like twenty PHO accounts, and he gets them banned every single time because you can tell it’s him literally immediately. I can kinda respect that he’s got an M.O., and he’ll damn well stick to it.

Gold Skull
Nuh-uh, nope, no thank you. I don’t care one bit for his “villains rise up” shit. I’m a petty thief, not a genocidal maniac. If he came to the Bay, and an S-class truce was established, I’d be fighting with the heroes.

The End
Does everyone in this city just like murdering capes for kicks? Rightfully earned his kill order. I’d happily execute it, were it not for the fact that he’d kick my ass. I hope someone can take care of him.

Babel
You ever look at someone and you’re instantly like, “now that’s a Slaughterhouse Nine candidate if I’ve ever seen one?” Because she is one hundred percent a Slaughterhouse Nine candidate if I’ve ever seen one. Not someone I want to fuck with.

Ark
I’ll be on the other side of the city if he ever comes knocking.

Reaper
Ditto.

Nemesis
Oh. Oh, she’s like, really mentally ill. Jesus Christ.

Cancer
You’re telling me the whole Nemesis thing happened twice? Okay, maybe I’m a little more sympathetic towards Ivy, actually.

Miss Remember
On the one hand, I get how with her power, it’s pretty much impossible to be anything other than a villain. On the other hand, Jesus fucking Christ, being a villain doesn’t mean you have to be utterly diabolical about it. I hope she’s being coerced into what she’s doing, because otherwise, that’s unforgiveable.

Pinnacle
At least she doesn’t do the whole “banished to an alternate dimension” thing that Helieson does, but the rest of that power set is scary. That she seemingly doesn’t care if she kills people or not is fucking creepy.

Miasma
Really, really freaky. Getting a bunch of microscopic machines that give me the bubonic plague shoved down my throat is a strong “no thanks” from me. He’s been in the game longer than I’ve been alive, so he’s clearly doing something right.

Anomaly
Definitely has some of the coolest tinker tech I’ve ever seen. I don’t know what her deal is yet, but Tattletale seems oddly interested in her, for some reason; she seems to think we’re bound to cross paths at some point.

Pun-Pun
How? Why?

Rogues

Dr. Kharnigore
The mastermind of the operation, supposedly. Given that the seven foot tall tentacled lizard lady works at an evil megacorporation, one has to ask: is she a genuine Case 53, or did she do that to herself on purpose? Either way, definitely not her biggest fan.

Fractal
My single greatest source of anxiety right about now. Fucking hell, dad. I’m sure she’s nice and everything, but if what Tattletale has said is true, she’s sketchy as fuck.

Carl Ridgerton
I mean, if you live in Brockton Bay – if you live in America, even – you know who Carl Ridgerton is. He’s maybe the only non-evil CEO I can think of off the top of my head, what with the bajillion dollars he’s put towards philanthropy and charity. I hope whenever he croaks, they don’t change his company too much.

Sky Captain & Crew
So, genuine question: how the fuck do you even go about parking that massive thing over the city without getting the Protectorate on your ass immediately? You’d think he could put it, I dunno, next to the city, or over a field, or something. (Or maybe over the Rig, but then the Protectorate might actually get pissed.) I hope the thing’s really damn reliable, because I’d rather not get smooshed by a huge sky fortress any time soon.
The bigger issue, though: you’re looking for help dealing with your crew member that attracts Endbringers, and you bring her to Brockton fucking Bay? I get the whole NIMBY thing, but like, dude. Cabin in the woods, or something.
