@Roccoonoo, thanks! That's really awesome. My favorite answer so far:

Bunston_: @Gtgchristopher If Guise were put in total control of all GtG operations for 24 hours, what would be the first thing he would do?

GTGChristopher: @Bunston_ Blow all of the Kickstarter money on ice cream.

GtGAdam: and then make himself sick

$1 million on ice cream? Even Guise's stomach isn't up to that!

I keep calling her Luminaress… although I know that cannot be her name since it would make it so her cards don't interact with her… but I'm pretty sure that's the name they'll stick for me. 

A few awesome things (that were revealed).

 

Oblique acknowledgement that Tony Taurus is a villain and therefore likely to be Heartbreaker

 

Fanatic and Apostate were created after they died, and Apostate's scars are from his first death.

 

Matriarch has killed people.

 

 

Also, where it says it is not a typo I think it was. I remember that answer.... I think (but will not guarantee) that I was asking about the relationship between Bugbear and Nightmist and why Nightmist was crying. Was it because she was falling for him or because she couldn't save him, or something along those lines. I'll try to go back and look one of these times and confirm that.

I'm watching the stream in post right now. Chirstopher's response to the question about NightMist and Bugbear was "Something other than those two."

Ms. Luminary reminds me of the name Ms. Marvel, which I dislike. It's time to move past naming women in relation to men. 

Sure, except that Girl Luminary is by definition a character who is just a female version of a male character, so if that naming convention is appropriate anywhere, it has to be appropriate here.

Ah, "Ms. Marvel".  Super progressive back in the day (when "Ms." the new way of NOT naming women in relation to men), awkward and dated now.  Progress is an amazing thing!

 

I still see the woman as the most true Luminary, but for those who want to differentiate it, "Lady Luminary" has such a fine ring, does it not?

Oddly, I'd not considered Tony Taurus as Heartbreaker.  That's neat!

Foote asked two questions.   The second part of Christopher's answer was in regards to whether any villains besides Kaargra made into the arena.   This is the question and response from the livestream

>
> Gtgbigfoote: @Gtgchristopher Tony Torus found his way into the Bloodsworn battleground somehow. It is very common that civillians find their way into the battleground as being collateral damage, or was he "chosen" in a sense like our other heroes. Follow-up: Did any villains other than Karagas squad fight with our heroes in the arena?
> GTGChristopher: @Gtgbigfoote It is unusual for him to have made it into the Colosseum. Other villains did not enter the arena.
>

Nothing in that response makes me think he was inferring Tony is Heartbreaker. 

And the moment I find that piece Christopher directly answers my question in the AMA and proves me wrong  :grin:

Sonvar:Did Tony Taurus become Heartbreaker? Why was Tony Taurus at the Colosseum?

GtGChristopher:
I did say "Ask Me Anything", didn't I?

Yes.

Because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but also, he was out of other options.

That... doesn't really state that he's a villain, either.  It even kinda refutes it, since Tony got into the Colosseum, and "other villains," (which I read in context as "villains other than Kaargra") did not.

Then again, the definition of "villain" here is kinda hazy, since Char got in, and he's a bad guy by any means.

Thanks for the added context, Powerhound!

EDIT: and then, back the other way!  Curiouser and curiouser.

I'd be entertained if we referred to Baron Blade's Luminary as "Boy Luminary" and the alternate universe's as "Luminary"… :sunglasses:

Totally going to do this!

(And if you think it sounds funny, you should think about why you think "Girl Luminary" is an appropriate name.)

Exactly…

One thing I really really really appreciate about Sentinels is that there's little appreciable difference between the names given to male characters and female characters. Several characters do have names that identify or imply gender, but it's not the rule.

Gendered names... Let's see...

On the villain side we have Baron Blade, The Matriarch, The Chairman (although given the "hides in the shadows" character type, I could totally see a woman being the "Chairman"), Man-Grove (not that Man-Grove really has a gender), Magman, and Miss Information.  I'm not counting the Ennead, even though you could figure out their genders if you're familiar with the gods that they are inspired by, or Calypso (or Ra) because those are names rather than titles.

 

On the hero side we have Mr. Fixer, Stuntman, and La Comodora.  You could make a case for The Harpy as well, although the sexism there is more a little less direct.

 

That's 9 or 10 characters in total out of at least 100.  I am slightly amused that Lillian appears on the list twice.

Villains: Baron Blade, La Capitan, Chairman, Grand Warlord Voss, The Matriarch, Miss Information, and Wager Master. Arguably Citizen Dawn as "Dawn" is typically a woman's name.

Heroes: Expatriette, Mr. Fixer, La Comodora, The Harpy, and Stuntman

So 12, possibly 13. Not counting characters in the Vengeance-style decks.

Harpies are pretty explicitly female.

Interestingly, La Capitán is a mixup of the male and female terms in Spanish.

One could also make a case for Dr. Medico, but I suppose that's hard to avoid if you're using a romance languange (and not mixing things up, Capitan-style).
