When I first did Fuzzy Knights in Japan, it didn't take me long to get a sense of the dynamic between the characters.

Mossfoot is the fair and (usually) patient gamemaster, who is just a touch world weary after a lifetime of real adventures. Target is an opportunist and a bit clumsy (and a closet pyromaniac). Violet is actually very sweet, but a very rough past has left her easily frustrated by fools.

And Ben is, well, a fool.

It's easy to dismiss Ben sometimes. If he thinks something is a good idea it's probably best to do the opposite. But in a way he's the one who has held onto a youthful joy of siezing the day more than the others. His obliviousness to consequence (and logic and reason) is both a blessing and a curse.

But who knows? Maybe even he can grow. If not, well, at least he's happy.
