(stcrmhond) myst, for the fandom asks 👀✨
DISCLAIMER: I have only played 1-3 and despite my best efforts have not been able to get through any of the tie-in novels thus far
DISCLAIMER 2: There are. uh. not very many characters in 1-3 😅
blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)
Katran/Catherine is my favorite (me? a fan of the accidental/reluctant messiah figure (and, iirc, the only woman in the first 3 games)? shocking), but Gehn is probably the one I think about most often, purely because John Keston's performance delights me so (as I said in my Xenoblade Chronicles 1 blorbo meme, we love classically trained actors in bideo jame roles). I think about that “’O sole mio” Easter egg constantly.
scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)
The Age of Amateria from Exile is so very shaped and I love it.
scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)
Katran/Catherine again!
glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)
The big ol' Moiety dagger in Riven that was apparently designed by Adam Savage, but also, the Myst franchise itself when it gets referenced in other media. I suppose it's also a Blorbo in that way. Shoutout to Alex "Gravity Falls" Hirsch for going "yeah this was based on Myst"
poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)
Saavedro
horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)
Sirrus and Achenar, the evil bastards. I know a lot of people love them but they just...do not do it for me.
eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)
Handily for me, Sirrus, Achenar, and Gehn all get trapped in the canonical equivalents of superhell! Also whoever the HECK decided that the Rivenese use a base-25 number system. I am simply too sexy for that kind of mathematical know-how and my younger brother flexed on me by figuring it out. (That said, I'm pretty sure I'm the one who figured out how the infamous island imaging/fire marble puzzle worked, so HA.)
