Sound the horn and call the cry: "How many of them can we make die?"

So, I've been thinking about this, and it seems to me like each of the kids is intended to parody some kind of Mary Sue archetype found in roleplaying and fanfiction.

Jade is the most obvious: she's the Friendly Sue, the one who has kawaii special powers and is loved by everybody, whose only flaws are endearing ones (narcolepsy). She was also raised by an animal that also has special powers.

Rose is the Goffik Sue, the one who's snarky and rebellious and wears black all the time, is never fazed by anything, etc.

Dave is the Badass Stu, the stoic and mysterious dark stranger in the corner, usually modeled after Aragorn but with a SUPERIOR NIPPON KATANA.

John's the most difficult, but after some thought, he seems to me like the Dumb Luck Stu. The character who looks fine to begin with, but then when they actually enter the story, gets so phenomenally lucky that they find all the best equipment, become the strongest, etc.

That's Equius, silly.

You also left out how Jade was raised by what is effectively a god, in the event that's worth including. SUPER SPECIAL CHILD.

Nonono, it's only Equius if it's in all caps.

But yeah, I forgot Bec. Thanks for the reminder.

Edit: Update! And it's a sound page!

Edit 2: And mind[radio edit]ery ensues.

She also just woke up from what was, from her perspective, a complete nightmare. And then met OTHER BEST TROLL.

They will proceed to be THE BEST TANGLEBUDDIES
