            Hatred of Scrappy is largely on the side of the audience, which is obviously not the case for Auraugu.

        Scrappy Doo was the only decent character in that entire show, eternally denied the fulfillment of his potential.
        The rest of the cast were just pointless cowards always running from what inevitably ended up being another idiot in a mask.

          I actually see him as more of an anti-Bandit. He’s a fast, unarmored fighter who’s also pretty sneaky (stealing the stick, ambushing Syr’nj.) He’s arguably the most personable of the group, poor first impression notwithstanding. But where Bandit is cocky in a quiet, sly way, Auraugu shouts his greatness everywhere he goes.

            I’m with you. Also, with this, he’s the guy who’s from another group, but ended up with this “main” one. Only to contrast, he’s from an older, established group that’s gone/dead, instead of being in a newer group formed when the first was dead/gone

        He is also the only survivor from the raid quite awhile back. Stokla and Brix got killed, the former because she didn’t know when the retreat and the latter because he tried showboating. Though, given that Rana was Yalaria’s mate…that could complicate how he views Auraugu.

      not quite, the “H” is the trolls. you can see it on harkey’s belt buckle and on penk’s armor.
      chapter-28-page-23/
      i suspect the fist symbolizes that the world’s rebellion is united under harkey’s leadership. the fist looks a lot like harkey’s gauntlet.

      the upside-down omega does look like it would represent the goblins more so than the svasi; i dont think the svasi are on the banner.

    I am rather curious as to the reasoning behind choosing this guy for champion status… All the other choices seem to have been fairly sound so far. Maybe he’s just there as bait and to keep Madame Arfa happy? Or just comic relief… I like him.

      Cause he’s the champion of the fuzzy peoples.

      It’s a really good bet Harky was talking about him when he said that there was another champion who’d come if asked. Harky already saw him as a champion. Going by that one Gnoll Shaman who appeared to acknowledge this, it’s not just a self-given title. Well, looking at this guy, it probably was, but it’s not one confined to his own worldview. He stepped up, and his people seem to find him an acceptable representation. And why not? In the two major skirmishes he’s been in so far, he succeeded in his goals (summoning the giant sea monster, stealing the branch) and has survived contact with the enemy champions.

      Yeah, he’s full of himself, but in the way that makes him always push to be the model of perfection he views himself as. But unlike best, who self centers it (i’m the greatest, who cares about the rest of you), he’s the generous sort. (I’m the greatest, and with me around, you can be the greatest you, cause what else could people become with such inspiration in their midst!).

      He’s not really the anti-best as he fits the anti-bandit roll better, but it is another way the a role in this group dynamic could contrast that of the Guildies.

        The problem with the champion thing is that there is now an adventurer’s guild, these guys aren’t just going to be fighting one counterpart, they will be facing off with a slew of adventurers led by another crew, who have had a lot of practice fighting moderately powerful warriors.
        These champions won’t just have to be the best of the best, they’ll have to be very effective at crowd control as well… Unless they happen to have a diplomatic mission (hahaha)

          Adventurer’s are split up though. Many of them are going to be scattered, or doing the jobs the military can’t at home, like the pitch to the heads went. So it’s likely that the first and any future group vs group fights will likely be even numbers.
