(gravely) Always important to consult the TikTok gestalt when you just can't make up your mind.
i have two concurrent lists myself. for how much each guy appeals to me on a combination of levels, but basically boiling down about how happy i am to interact with them in any given scenario. I have the same problem with constantly switching 1. and 2. based on the individual card we're talking about, but brother-con/sis-con just grabs me by the gonads a little harder than demon-lover.
i find it a little amusing that while i started out the game liking Zayne the most out of the first three, he's fallen to last place over time.
1. Caleb
2. Sylus
3. Xavier
4. Rafayel
5. Zayne
but the OTHER list which i actually feel is more reflective is how well i think their characters are WRITTEN - not so much how it plays out in the kindles and cards, but how the characters are set up and how much i think the writers cared to make them interesting and thought-provoking:
1. Rafayel - this boy is an absolutely scary mess
2. Caleb - this boy is a very scary mess
3. Zayne - this boy is such a quietly soft *painful* tragedy that just doesn't get enough airtime.
4. Sylus - a tad too straightforward for my literary tastes
5. Xavier - the most simplistic theme of the bunch - while there are hints here and there of depth (thinking Fallen Crown and some of the Anecdotes) overall he's on-brand Charming 97% of the time
