Character design: His design's not that bad. For a chef, this guy kicks major tail. Two meat cleavers and a turtle shell armor pot are original.

Combat: Sadly, Orcha's a yellow, so there are a long list of better innates. But his techs are interesting.

Tilt: Orcha might not be playable character material, but he gets some cool development through his 'dark side' and an even cooler Frozen Flame quote.

Orcha:
   The one that's hidin' within
   me is not '"another me"'...
   It's just another '"part of me."'
   I am who I am...
   Including my dark side.
   It isn't right to think of my
   other side as a separate
   entity whom I can criticize...
   Rather, I must accept who I
   am as a whole...

Still, even I was shocked when he said he'd join the party.

Character Design: He's another of the CHA clan...and for a while I thought he was actually Korcha's father. He certainly looks the part, as well as the part of a chef. Nice look. Nice indeed.

Combat Usefulness: But those cleavers aren't used in combat, are they? Nope. He gets to use other cooking implements. I never used him.

Tilt: While the idea of his dark side was interesting, it was done, in my mind, very very poorly. That cost him a lot of points, especially him being another CHA guy.

Final Grade: D.

[Romana]

Design: Looks powerful. Actually pretty cool.

Combat: I don't remember ever using him.

Tilt: Bah. Not much going for him, is there? Okay, so we have his dark side or whatever... But that didn't see much to add to his development.

Final Grade: D

But yeah, I'll agree that this is a good quote. Shame he didn't have more like this.

[nightmare975]

Design: A chef, whoop-de-doo!

Combat: Bleh, techs were teh suxors

Tilt: Eh, semi-original, has an otherworld encounter with his brother.

Con: CHA

Final Grade: D

WTF!!? Yellow...?

Character Design - He's the epitome of one of those chefs who ends up tasting everything three times before he's satisfied. Bulky chopping muscles?

Combat Usefulness - He's the other one who uses kitchen utensils...it's odd because his character design shows that he HAS two big-ass butcher knives...but apparently they're as used as Ayla's wooden club. He's got a kinda cool Tech though when he uses his dark side.

Tilt Factor - No amount of evil dark multiple personality disorder is going to make a chef a cool character and it unsurprisingly didn't work here. Kind of a boring character...he's got family which you'd think might count for something, but it really doesn't.

Final Grade - D
