A character is simply a person in a story. There is nothing in the definition of the word that says you have to know their names for them to be characters.

NOUN 1The mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual 1.1The distinctive nature of something 1.2 [MASS NOUN] The quality of being individual in an interesting or unusual way 1.3 [MASS NOUN] Strength and originality in a person’s nature 1.4A person’s good reputation: 2A person in a novel, play, or film 2.1A part played by an actor You'll note that every one of the definitions (I've excluded the ones referring to moral or personal character) refers to an individual. Not a group thereof. Cobra Trooper 945.a is a character who is in some way completely different from cobra trooper 53.d. Cobra troopers is a group. It's like voting Night Force as a character. |

The definition of the word character is a person, because it's a singular word. Characters in the plural mean people in the plural. The Crimson Guards are people in a story and are therefore characters.
It's nit picking to say because the title of the poll didn't say character and/or group of characters explicitly that the groups of characters are not proper choices. We can infer that. Besides, you're making up your own rules for the poll that weren't intended by the author. That's your idea but you can't apply it to someone else's poll. Night Force would not be accepted because it doesn't represent a single character that you could buy as a single action figure with a single name. The B.A.T.s, Cobra Troopers and Crimson Guards do represent that. We all seem to understand that's the accepted standard for the poll. Technically B.A.T.'s not a character because he's a robot, not a person, I guess. Last edited by JediJones; 05-21-2014 at 07:54 PM.. |

One figure, one character. Many figures, subteam.

If enough of us make a pact right now to nominate the same character who's close to Skidmark in the NEXT poll, then we can overtake him. I say everyone who's willing to cast their vote for either Hit & Run or Crimson Guard in order to knock Skidmark out, reply now with which one you prefer. All of us are agreeing to vote for whichever one the majority of us wants. So if 10 of us sign onto the pact and 6 say they prefer CG, all 10 of us nominate CG in the next round.
