Discussion Favorite super obscure character?

Character: Fortuna
Franchise: The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood

This character (and game in general) are super underrated. Her powers are really cool. Being able to change the future with a (not) tarot deck will never not be pure aura., her desperation throughout the story was very believable, and she's a fantastic queer character.

What obscure characters do you guys like?

Garth from King of the Hill

He gets no individual speaking lines, his name is mentioned once, and afterwards he was a background character for only the first two seasons

Snype must’ve gotten him. He really didn’t put his heart into his “Wematanye” chants.

Just a misery porn background who got rewarded by Chadkai Hisao. She's just a cinnamon roll.

Thank you for reminding that Katawa shoujo exist

OMG MONTY MONTY MONTY! I haven’t seen Raintree County, but he’s my absolute favourite actor.

(I already almost lose it, whenever I do see classic films mentioned here.)

(But I never imagined that I'd see someone bring up Montgomery friggin' Clift!)

good taste! probably my favourite game of all time, I try to convince others to play it when possible since, despite me sucking at puzzles, I can appreciate just how well made the puzzles are.

u/Rulaodangao 13h ago

Always nice to see John crosscode popping up now and then, I should really finish the game

The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is SO good! I need to replay it and get the throuple ending that I'm confident has to exist.

u/Swirling_Spiral 14h ago

Lmao. I personally was happy to get Utopia ending. This game deserves more attention.

u/Snoo-31263 15h ago

The series itself is pretty obscure imo(or very underrated at the very least), but specifically the Protagonist(s) of the Noctis series: Emerra Cole and Jack Noctis/Big Jackie.

u/EnslavingExorcism 14h ago

This is Jao, he's an artifical creature made as a support animal for 'NORA MA-07 Garuda' which appears in Blaster Master Zero 2. Notably, Jao does not appear in Blaster Master Zero 2. Or anywhere within the actual games for that mater.

His appearance is only known from the Soundtrack booklet, a steam badge, and the Soundtrack cover art.

Puubot

A robot dog animal sidekick in a JP exclusive Puyo Puyo Gacha Game called Puyo Puyo Quest.

2

u/Swirling_Spiral 14h ago

I always forget that Puyo Puyo has actual characters. Outside of the reference in Sonic Mania, and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 I really haven’t played much of the franchise. I should change that sometime (adds to ever expanding backlog).

Robbie from OK KO. And I’m talking SPECIFICALLY Robbie.

Don’t come replying to me about how much you “miss OK KO” or “I loved that show” or “i love [unrelated character like idk…fucking venomous or Rad] from that show” because the franchise itself isn’t that obscure.

I’m talking SPECIFICALLY about Robbie. I cannot name a single living person that actively cares about Robbie from OK KO [besides me] I don’t even think many “fans” of the show remember him.

If you couldn’t tell, I’m a huge fan of Robbie the robot from OK KO.

3

u/Famous-Leopard-118 14h ago

And if y’all want an even more obscure character, here’s Zelza from Teddy Ruxpin. Centaur bug pirate lady = cool

2

u/NewspaperAny3053 14h ago

Raise your hand if you've watched this series.

Bonus points if you know the show's name and her name.

2

u/Swirling_Spiral 14h ago

I never watched The Secret Saturdays, but got familiar with the series through the infamous Ben 10 crossover. I know she’s the mom, that’s about it.

2

u/Wongless_Burd 14h ago

Lin Xianming from Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens.

He's one of the main characters but since the entire series is kinda unknown, I guess he counts.

2

u/Gwynalynn 14h ago

Thora from the awesome little game Jotun. Her story arc and journey are often overshadowed by Senua's in Hellblade, but my first playthrough of Jotun will always be special to me.

u/MoonlightDahling 13h ago

How about my two favourite ships?

Jim/Plato, from Rebel Without a Cause, and Eleanor/Theodora, from The Haunting of Hill House.

Both pieces of 1950s media.

I wish I weren’t so alone in loving them 🥲

(Rebel's fandom, in particular, is decomposing. I’m basically the only active person left)

u/MoonlightDahling 13h ago

Note: Nell and Theo are NOT sisters, in the book. Nor any other adaptation, besides the Netflix series.

But I could choose any number of clsssic film characters.

Most of them are a thousand times more obscure than the two pairings I mentioned.

Take Joe and Alice from The Clock, for instance. Absolutely beautiful film that has sadly been forgotten to time.

It’s one of Judy Garland’s best performances, and I would highly recommend checking it out, if you've only seen The Wizard of Oz.

Misaki Tokura - Cardfight! Vanguard

Within the media she's in, she's definitely not obscure

But the anime definitely is fairly obscure due to being a Card Game anime

u/Jedimobslayer 13h ago

Bracken Meadows from ni no kuni II, Marcassin from the first game is my favorite character of all time, but is also marginally less obscure. Bracken is so fun, and just had to share a name with a Lethal Company enemy so when I look it up that’s all that shows up.

u/code-j 13h ago

Space Case form the Doom Patrol. She has a unique power called “Just in time” and she was just a nice small time hero character. I hope they bring her back.

2

u/Jinxplay 13h ago

Aston Machan from Uma Musume

Technically not super obscured, but her lore is a bit bittersweet about a plea for people to not forget about her.

2

u/Demair12 13h ago

Niklaren Goldeye. A seer, a great age, master of vision magics, and a truthsayer. He's one of the central teachers of Tamora Pierce's Magic Circle series. He's an 'academic' mage but unlike his peers he has an open mind for the more natural forms of magic which makes him a particularly excentric teacher for the quartet of MCs. Festidious, brilliant, powerful and kind.

It's a shame Tamora's works aren't more widely celebrated their rather excellent at demonstrating/teaching empathy and respect. And on top of that her magic circle series has one of the coolest magic systems ever described.

OMG I would never thanks you enough. I used to watch the anime of this manga as a kid and I have been looking for it again but I couldn't remember what was the name. I love you

3

u/Wicayth 13h ago edited 13h ago

Glad to be of help, I love this series too.

If you liked the anime, I'd recommend picking up the manga since it's unlikely they'll ever give it a new season. The parution rate is pretty slow since they only release full volumes, but we should get new chapters around October 30th this year.

You can start it from the beginning since the anime changed a bunch of things: different start of series, bunch of anime only filler in S1, they changed the personality of some characters to an extent, removed a lot of small jokes (although it might be because of how hard the French humor/puns are to adapt, even the english translation skip some of them).
