Random Vs Jordan

[Indinera]

Which again proves that Random is better. Jordan needs a demon in his guts to be strong, Randome IS strong all by himself!

Yessss but this is not the question asked in this topic lol

Random seems more serious and Jordan has more humor, I will say that. Still I vote Random since we watched him grow into his role through a whole series of games. He really kept the crew together. He was a more powerful fighter, too.

It isn't?
Well, even WITH Cassandra - I still find Random better.

[Indinera]

the idea is that jordan is not supposed to be particularly strong at all without cassandra, hence making this duel irrelevant.
he even confesses about it to jas

Random hands down He packed some uber power. Jordon got sidelined during the demon fights soooo, sorry Jordon, but Random takes the trophy

[Indinera]

Then again the demons of Ego, Pride and Luxury would ALL make Random absent...
just saying...

As I was one who said in 'Players' Memories' that I preferred Jordan to Random, I suppose I'd better try and justify that.

I prefer Jordan because I think he is more interesting as a character and as a fighter.

Random loves admiration and acclaim, indeed almost seems to need it. There are occasions when, if he doesn’t get it, he “pouts”. That is a fatal weakness in any leader, who needs to be able to take the unpopular decisions. Jordan couldn’t care less about that sort of opinion and isn’t weakened if he doesn’t get it.

Jordan’s dialogues are much more varied, and often very funny in a dry, witty sort of way, not only with people, but also with the objects he finds (or doesn’t). Random is rather pompous a lot of the time, terribly concerned about his own self-importance.

Yes, Random can hit an opponent incredibly hard; I prefer the fact that you have to be a bit more strategic with Jordan, and if you are, he deals as much damage as Random (or at least Random before he gets Apocalypsa). This makes fights with him much more interesting. It’s not just his Horror of Memories spell; Holes of Filth, used against the right enemy, is truly devastating. All party spells like Ethereal Void have been something of a life saver, and he can do all-party healing. Also I like the fact that Jordan’s ego doesn’t require that he be in absolutely every team without exception (except split teams, of course), when there are many occasions when in fact another team member would be better.

Random’s emotions and relationships with others, but especially the women, are very adolescent – which is absolutely right and proper because he is a teenager; I found it refreshing that Jordan was not a teenager. Perhaps when Random grows up (if, of course, he ever appears in public again) I may change my opinion on the balance between him and Jordan. But until then…

So there you have it.

i prefer Jordan too..i think Random as an adolescent whereas Jordan as a mature man,full of flows( sorry for spelling) yes, but a man..they are both full of themselves in their way, but what i find interesting in Jordan is sarcasm, not just kidding or fooling around, but a cynical touch that means a connection to philosophy, kinda..and an other aspect that i like is his "inner demon" ..he is becoming strong and sick simultaneously in this relationship and in the end there is catharsis, which is a strong element in every story..
Random is just a young, strong and determined warrior, he has his principles but cant match the complexity(is this word right?) of Jordan..their fighting skills are difficult to compare, very different styles..

Random fits more into the "True Hero" category because he cares for the others a lot. Jordan seems to be more egoistic. Maybe that's because of Cassandra, but still.

[Indinera]

Ah, that's another take, this time in favor of Random.
