Just finished another Expanse book. You know, the more of them I read, the more I feel like they are a D&D party.
Like my headcanon is that they are played by a D&D group trying a SF game. No idea if these hold up for those watching the series, I haven't done that.
- Holden's player normally likes playing paladins when they are doing D&D. He plays it straight, but doesn't always see when the curves are coming. Drinks Mountain Dew.
- Amos' player is the murderhobo of the group. He's also got decent system mastery and and is good at subbing in intimidation for any other social skills.
- Naomi's player likes utility wizards, and played a decker when they tried Shadowrun. She's not as into the battlemat part of the game, but loves puzzles. The backstories she writes are never less than five pages.
- Alex's player is the quietest of them, though that doesn't mean he's quiet - just most likely to let the others step up and talk. He does voices for his characters. He likes making a character that's piles on the bonuses to be really good at something.
