C4 Shipping - One Month In

With Overture finished, and the first month of C4 wrapping up, I wanted to get a bit of a glimpse as to how things are looking.

For some context: this data was collected manually from AO3 from the Friday following a given episode to the Thursday of the next, in order to represent the fics being posted after a given episode. Given the ability to add/remove tags and backdate or delete works, it may not represent what is on the archive currently, but instead what was written during those weeks.

There were over 300 (!!!) fics posted in the Critical Role: Aramán tag. In comparison, the same first four weeks period saw 161 fics for C3 (out of 414 fics in the tag total), and 165 fics for C2 (out of 219 total) so C4 is off to a very strong start, probably a mix of being an easy entry point, so many characters to write about, and the really vivid plot beats and character dynamics already present in the Overture.

For the top ships, Tyranny/Wick was the first fic posted following e1, and while it was only the #1 per week for e1 and 3, has generally been sitting very high, and is the #1 romantic pairing. Occtigan (Occtis/Kattigan) was the other early strong start, but has dropped off in e3 as the two move to different tables, and with e4 was overtaken by Halaire (Halandil/Bolaire) which has the highest number of fics in a single week (19).

The actual #1 relationship however is the platonic pairing of Occtis & Thaisha - while it had a modest start early on, the drama around Occtis in e3 & e4 has put it in the top ship. Filling out the rest of our top spots are the platonic versions of Hal & Bolaire and Tyranny & Wick, as well as rising star with e4 Julien/Occtis (Juliocctis?), still-romantic-exes Hal/Thaisha, hot-for-paladin Teor/Wick, and Nightingale-linked soulmates (?) Vaesha (Thaisha/Vaelus) tied with former soldiers Azune/Teor.

For a more detailed look of all the ships, plus graphs per character, I've got a ton more stats below the cut!

Of the 78 possible pairings, 34 have at least one fic, so not quite halfway there. Another 9 have only the & tag, which pushes over the halfway point for overall character-character interactions.

Right now, the tags lean heavily M/M - making up 5 of the top nine ships, as well as 62% of the overall tags, M/M also has the highest proportion of possible tags in use, with 18 of 28 (64%) possible pairings compared to the 11 / 40 (28%) of F/M and 5 / 10 (50%) of F/F pairings, with F/F only making up 7% of ship tags at the moment.

Occtis is the most widely shipped character, very much the early fandom bicycle, only missing tags from Tyranny & Wick (although one of the few OT3 tags is Occtis/Tyranny/Wick). Hal is a close runner up on both fronts, shipped with everyone but Murray, Thimble, and Tyranny, and also has the greatest number of total tags/fics with his 60 to Occtis' 54.

Least ship'd we have poor, dear Murray Mag'nesson with only 3 tags, each for a different ship. followed by Thimble who's also only at 3 PC/PC tags but has more /NPC tags. Vaelus comes in third, mostly propped up by the Thaisha/Vaelus. For the most single-focused, a full 92% of Bolaire ship tags are Halaire, the most one-sided of any of pairing or character. The other 'majority' ships are Occtis/Kattigan for Kattigan (but not Occtis, who's just under the radar at only 48%), Thaisha as the top ship for Vaelus (54%), and Tyranny/Wick who are each othersmajority (with 85% of Tyranny ships, and 67% of Wick ships)

On the platonic side, things are much more focused, with more single-use tags. 100% of Murray & tags is Bolaire & Murray, same with Tyranny & Wick being the only tag for Tyranny, and still the majority for Wick. Thaisha & Vaelus and Bolaire & Hal are also the top of both romantic and platonic, but Kattigan & Teor is the dominant tag for Kattigan, and Occtis & Thaisha the majority for both of them.

Occtis is also the most widely &'d character, having platonic tags for everyone but Kattigan, Murray, Teor, and Tyranny, Hal and Bolaire both following behind him in range, although Thaisha is the highest for total number (with Hal & Thaisha helping her beat out with Occtis since Occtis & Thaisha is the number one & pairing by far)

Again, Murray is at the bottom with only 3 tags, with Kattigan and Thimble are tied at second-least & tags at 5, followed by Vaelus and Teor at 9.

22 tags have both a romantic/sexual and a platonic variant, so we can calculate the most "shippy" of them. While there are a ton of ships with no & (and more with an & but no /), for the ones that have both, the most romantic is Teor/Wick at 9:1, followed by Azune/Kattigan at 4:1, and Julien/Occtis at 3.25:1.

The most platonic pairing is, unsurprisingly, Occtis & Thaisha at 1:18, followed by Bolaire & Occtis at 1:4, Kattigan & Teor at 1:3, then Thimble & Occtis at 1:2. There are two pairings that are (currently) perfectly balanced: Azune & Julien and Hal & Teor.

Overall, most characters have more romantic pairings than platonic (as platonic relationships are more often untagged or unwritten). Kattigan has the highest ration at almost 7:1, while most fall below 2:1, with Murray the perfect 1:1. Only three characters have more platonic works than romantic, Bolaire, Thimble, and Thaisha who is at 1:2 (mostly driven by the presence that is Occtis & Thaisha).

The Seekers' table is the only one where every dynamic has been tag'd, mostly driven by their focus in e4, while Schemers have 5 / 6 possible tags and Soldiers only 6 / 10. Seekers/Schemers has the most crossover (12 / 16 possible pairings), while the Soldiers' table has the most untagged dynamics (7 / 20 in both cases).

Dynamics that I think its wild not to have any tag at all, romantic or platonic:

Azune & Murray - the stuff with them in e3 staring into each others eyes? so good. given that they're at the same table, I expect this to change

Hal & Thimble - such an interesting dynamic. there's history there, even if the connection is mostly through Thjazi

Julien & Thimble - again, super ripe connection, especially with the Aranessa/Royce/Faerie ties. This one I can understand waiting for them to have more explained before writing, though

Teor & Thimble - come on, episode 1? big lion man with tiny pixie? I've seen so much fanart to not have any fic.

Murray & Thaisha and Murray & Tyranny, okay, so this is a stretch, but you see the vision, don't you?

Other same-table pairs I expect to see get something over these first arcs: Kattigan & Wick, Teor & Tyranny, Thimble & Wick

And, for those who want some more nitty gritty, the individual graphs for each character. (by nature, some of these lines overlap a bit, but that usually only happens with the 1/fic peaks. only major NPC ships have been included, which is mostly just Thjazi and Julien/Aranessa.

Splitting this up, lets start with the soldiers!

Kattigan we mostly see Occtigan which has a very strong early presence that has dropped off with e3/4, as well as Azune/Kattigan, which picks up a bit with e3 and Azune bidding the Soldiers' farewell, but there's little content in e4 as the Soldiers table was gone, although with one Murray/Kattigan fic to represent their e3 flirting.

This will be interesting to see evolve as we move into the next episodes covering their first arc, as Kattigan is mostly shipped with characters from other tables and not his fellow soldiers.

For Teor, the dominant ship is with Wick, although it only really shows up in e2/3 (where the Teor-Wick interactions are in play, with e1 having more of a focus with Azune, fellow mercenary. There are some singular fics with Hal & Kattigan, and the general omnipresence of Occtis shipping, but Wick is definitely the early lead

Thimble has generally not gotten a lot of ships - one with Vaelus, one with Occtis, one with Tyranny, the only big point is 2 fics with Thjazi, but it is still mostly tagged platonic.

Tyranny, while there are a few Thaisha fics coming out of their interaction at the funeral, and one Thimble fic (actually a full Soldiers/Soldiers fic), this is basically just Wickanny, with a early e1 peak and a higher e3 peak as we get into the details of the Creed.

Similarly, Wick is mostly with Tyranny, although Wick/Teor is higher for e2, but doesn't maintain the momentum; both ships fall of in e4 with the absence. In e1 we also see early uses of Juilen & Hal that fall off.

Now, for the seekers!

Julien has mostly nothing until we get the huge e4 leap of Juliocctis with the fall of House Davinos. Early on, we see Hal and Wick which fall off, and Thaisha who is low but present throughout but most for e2, while e3 and 4 have a decent showing of Aranessa as she gets more screentime, which is the most prominent PC/NPC relationship to date.

For Occtis, while he is the current fandom bicycle, these are mostly 1-2 fics since we're early on, and is driven in large part by a fic that has Occtis/almost every possible tag. The obvious swap here is between Occtigan in e1-2 and Juliocctis in e4, but notable there is a very consistent 1fic of Azune/Octis across all four episodes (and not from the same author!)

Thaisha's main pairing early on is Hal for obvious reasons, with the big peak coming in e2 which has some of the top moments ('stay') although it has fallen off in e3-4. e1 gives Tyranny, but it falls off quickly as they have no further interactions, while there's a decent amount of Julien with their enemies dynamic. Vaelus rises to be the top ship for e3/4 but is still relatively low as despite the weird psychic wolf bond, they still haven't had many interactions.

However, on Vaelus' otherwise very low ships, Thaisha thoroughly dominates. There is a Thimble and a Bolaire fic, but the only other ship of any note is Occtis/Vaelus coming out of e4.

For the schemers...

Azune has a decent amount of ships, but none that are super dominant. E1 starts off strong with Azune/Hal as they are the opening scene, but it doesn't show up in later episodes (we'll see if that changes when we get to the Schemers' table). The other torn banner mercenaries in Teor & Kattigan are the other top pairing, with Teor for e1/2 and Kattigan in e3, but with their departure these fall in e4. There's a low level constant of Azune/Occtis, but notable in e4 is a spike of Azune/Julien, although still only 2 fics.

Bolaire is basically just the exponential rise of Halaire, which has a slow but steady following until the huge jump in e4. There's one Vaelus and one Occtis fic, but its just the Halaire show here.

Hal, meanwhile, is more varied, with a ton of fics that come out of e1 that then pretty immediately fall to the wayside, leaving mostly just Hal/Thaisha giving way to Halaire in e3/e4.

And Murray. I feel sorry she ends up alphabetically here at the last, but I have nothing to say - there's one e1 fic based on the initial Murray/Vaelus reaction, and then the everyone/Occtis fic, with a Kattigan/Murray fic hidden behind it (still just the one).

Anyways I have enjoyed many of these ships. I am excited to see more...write more ships, give me more data....i hunger....

If you have any more specific questions or analyses you're interested in, lmk! I will be continuing to update the data weekly, and will probably share again as we hit the end of the year.

I'm finally (mostly) caught up on CR, so here's some stats I've collected!

The number of cold opens each character has had:

The number of cold opens adjusted for how many characters were in the scene:

The approximate amount of screen time each table has had since the soldiers split in episode 3 (beginning the count after the opening credits):

-Soldiers: 22 hours 7 minutes

-Seekers: 26 hours 7 minutes

-Schemers: 26 hours 35 minutes

(Note, if we start counting after the full overture the seekers would be at 23:34 and the schemers would be at 24:29. If we didn't count the time they were in the Soldiers episodes the Seekers would be at 22:28 and the schemers would be at 22:20.)

Extra bits:

-The Seekers had the most consistent screen time (within their arc) ranging between 3:03-3:28 per episode

-The Schemers were a distant second with their screentime ranging from 2:38-4:31 in their arc

-The Soldiers were last, ranging between 1:49-4:06

-Hal, tied for first place in cold opens, is the only character to appear in a cold open during their table's arc

Not to be all DnD stat nerd over critical role but Vex and Percy’s HP.

Vex has a CON of 10 and 143 hit points at level 20. That means she has adds no CON modifier to her hp. So she rolled on average over a 7 every level. Since the Ranger hit dice is a d10, that’s slightly above average.

BUT Vex is not a full 20th level Ranger. She has 7 levels in Rogue. The Rogue hit dice is a d8. Which makes her average 7+ roll for hp even more impressive.

Percy however shows that Taliesin had all the dice luck in Campaign 1.

Percy has a CON of 14 and 202 hit points at level 20. That gives him a CON modifier of +2, meaning 40 of his hit points are from his Constitution and the rest are rolled.

Percy is a single-classed fighter and the Fighter hit die is also a d10.

Dividing 162 by 20 gives an average rolled hit points of OVER 8 for Percy.

Meaning, Taliesin rolled a d10 TWENTY TIMES and his AVERAGE roll was an 8, 9, or 10.

EDIT: just remembered that you get the full value of your hit dice + CON as your hp at level 1.

So Vex’s average roll is (143 - 10)/19, which comes to 7 exactly. Above average, especially considering her multiclass.

Percy’s average roll is (202-12-40)/19, which brings his average down to 7.9. Still very impressive, but not as broken as first thought.

In my previous post I broke down numbers in the pursuit of "amusing myself by guessing Travis's next character using statistics." However, I filtered out subclasses that hadn't been playtested on 5.5e, despite PCs at the table using those subclasses, so I am making an amended post.

For race I hewed pretty tightly to the implied limitations of Aramán: the seven races of the shapers + half-orcs, fae and demons [tiefling] and then narrowed it down from there.

Classes and races were removed from consideration for two reasons: Travis has played it previously (outside of one-shots) and/or there are already two or more PCs using it in Campaign 4. All subclasses of existing PCs (including Teor) were excluded.

Grog, Fjord, Bertrand, Chetney & Cerrit were the characters used for elimination, removing barbarian, warlock, fighter, blood hunter & rogue, as well as goliath, half-orc, human, gnome. Cerrit doesn't count towards eliminating beastfolk due to how broad that category is and he's signaled a willingness to repeat paladin so I kept it in despite Fjord/Teor. Sorcerer, wizard and orc were excluded because of other C4 PCs.

This leaves us with 292 possible combinations, or a .341% chance of correctly nailing the race/class/subclass of the character. (If you JUST want race and class you have a 2.326% chance of getting it right with the scope I'm using.)

Initial offer still stands: if you correctly predict the character, whether in your own post or in the replies or tags, you should DM me/shoot me an ask/tag me and I will bestow upon you bragging rights or a picture of one of my pets or something. Also, go buy a lottery ticket lmao.

Tables under the cut.

* weren't playtested or were discontinued for 5.5e

^ unclear if Clerics of the Totality are any cleric subclass using intelligence as their primary stat (per Brennan) or if it's a unique C4-only subclass. I treated it like a unique subclass.

** if Cleric is the class, halfling is highly unlikely to be the race due to Macaroni Samsonite, but halfling otherwise doesn't fit the disqualification standards because Macaroni is a one-shot character.

*** I did not do any exclusions based on my opinions about party balance or Travis's preferences for play style in order to be as broad as possible. If you're curious about my predictions based on those subjective things, hit me up and I will ramble.

CR Unofficial Villian Stats

How you know the Mighty Nein are now loaded.

Giving 50 gold to each of the villagers who want to leave. Vilya suggested it would be about 65

50 gold is a load os money especially if you've not had any for however many years you've been on the island.

50 x 65 is 3250 gold pieces each

So including Vilyas chunk of the treasure that's 406/7 gold from each of them

Just counting the gold and platinum pieces they have 4, 149 gp each (also not including the bag 'o' gems Jester has plus diamonds and the huge emerald they also have)

so taking away the 406gp to each person that wants to leave (also not taking in to account families and such) they still have 3743gp

3743 Gold Pieces Each!

Their "silly" decision to bring andvocado back has banked them loads of cash.

There not on Vox Machina levels of rich but this is a start.
