I feel that! Technor and Janna are the same for me. As for Hego and Tobe, both of them have had legitimate moments of character growth that I adore; for Tobe it's not in any big life changing ways, it's at times as simple as being more aware of the people in his group and interacting with them in more friendly ways. For Hego it's every crisis he endures and his refusal to abandon his idealism; to others it may make him seem like a static character - but here we get to see that those lessons he's learned are incorporated, he understands not everyone is willing to play by the "rules", that it's not a game. He's changed so slowly that it's hard to even understand there's been any changes at all, but to that I say, would Hego of two years ago have even considered the strangeness of what's going on in this situation, to even have the awareness of elements around him? He wants to do good and his refusal to give up is something I admire a great deal, but that he's actually taken some lessons to heart is what I appreciate about his character.
Look at what the symbols resemble, rather than trying to find out what they'd literally translate to:
Wait, used to own? Disney actually lost control of something??!!?
From his stats, and noted preferences, he'd probably do best in either Diplomacy or Learning. And personally, I think he would get along quite well with Wasabi, so I'm thinking that maybe we should suggest that he shadow/assist Wasabi next turn, or at least sometime soon.
I mean, I can definitely see an argument for him leaving, but a) we don't really need the space just yet and b) this is likely just going to be throwing him at personals, which we would be doing anyway. They would just be potentially useful personals. It doesn't really hurt to give him a shot to improve.
I have several reasons. The first is that I believe we should cut down the amount of heroes we have working for us. The less heroes we have, the more timely the turns and the tighter the narrative focus on the ones we value.
Yes, and Janna and Tobe are actually doing stuff. They aren't wasting our time managing them. And I even mentioned how Dennis ads to the quest's value.
That is a good argument for Learning and Stewardship, but maybe less so for Diplomacy. Most of our decent to good Diplomats are actually pretty multidisciplinary, and could be better used elsewhere. If we could train up Max into a viable diplomat, that could be useful. Unfortunately, I don't really see a good of a way to do that off the top of my head.
OK, yeah, that's about what I thought you might be getting at. And that's fine with me, if anything, I see my suggestion as an alternate way for Max to potentially grow up and move on, if that's the best option.
From what I recall of the movie Max's specialty was more in Stewardship-esque actions.
Haven't really seen the movie, so I was just going by the contents of his stat block, where Diplomacy is tied for highest, it implies he might have undeveloped talent or inclination, and he has a social oriented trait. I figured that was a decent indication of growth potential.
Oh, I can't say I'm surprised, but what Max does have going for him is youth. Sure his stats are pretty bad, but that's because he's got potential to learn and improve that more established heroes don't necessarily. So I'm considering the possibilities of how he might grow.
The main reason, I think, why Max's stats are so unbalanced are
This happened in Max's first year of college.
it's actually harder to translate if you do know Chinese already, since my brain automatically fills everything in with the actual corresponding character pronunciation.

The status is too large to use, unfortunately.

I've mad an argument on the Discord that some elements of it could be used, multiple realities are a canon part of the show after all. But it seems not many people are interested in trying to integrate it.
