Indigo/RUC Tier list

This isn't a tier list on the best(Lol "best" RUC/Indigo Syndicate member) member is but rather a tier list on their power level and usefulness in their respective group. This is a tier list on both groups to be a bit of a warning to Resistance members on who they should be concerned about the most. Their placements would depend on their usefulness and competency(Or minimal incompetency) in their respective groups. Lump RUC and Indigo Syndicate members into here given how both have similar tier rankings. Any assistance here would be appreciated.

You can optionally add their allies like Tuffin into this if you so desire.

S tier: The highest rank here. This is for someone who is both competent and dangerous enough to pose a threat against us.

A tier: Someone who may not be as deadly as S tier but still very much dangerous.

B tier: Not as worrying as A tier but can be dangerous if left unchecked.

C tier: Average by their respective groups standards.

D: Below average members. They are mostly incompetent, dumb, and weak but once in a while pull some success.

F: Outright useless members who contribute nothing and are just kind of there.

Jafar tier: This tier is for members who are not only useless but are outright *detrimental* to the group and would have a lot better results if they never hired them at all.

Optionally you can place your reasoning behind their placement.

## Crimbly Tier

[This section is a shitpost]

Crimbly Scrimbles: Oh man this one's dangerous, the most dangerous and powerful member of the Radioactive uber Clan. We don't know if there's any way to defeat him. He has so many powers at his disposal and doesn't seem to have any weaknesses. If he goes "It's crimblin' time!" Then just give up, it's over. We should be thankful that he's merciful to his enemies.

Vance Darkblade: This one is especially dangerous. I mean he dual wields katanas, how much more cool can you get than that? Also he has the powers of darkness and his fighting style, the Darkblade style. And when in a pinch, he can access his golden Darkblade form, becoming more powerful than before. It's true what he says, "You cannot defeat the darkness that lies within."

## S Tier

Lazlo: One of the few Indigo Syndicate members who actually is competent, somewhat intelligent, and threatening. If it weren't for Popeye Jr being the leader of the Syndicate, he'd give everyone a tougher time by leading everyone here. Even then however, much of the organization is fanatically loyal to Popeye Jr., he would have a difficult time actually getting people to listen to him. In fact, he would need to completely upend and overhaul the Syndicate's military force and command structure to put together something that doesn't fall apart at the first sign of difficulty. Regardless, he's still capable of assessing the situation with a realistic outlook, and can order Madame Phoenix and a few other members on various tasks based on this. Despite the Syndicate's notoriously poor training, one should take extra care when confronting units that do listen to Lazlo's word, as they're usually more coordinated than the average Syndicate troop.

Madame Phoenix: A skilled assassin. Like Lazlo and Eugene, she was a part of some branch of the Republic's government forces before coming to the Syndicate. While she's not a one woman army of any kind, as she can be taken down with adequate numbers and teamwork, she specializes in eliminating single targets, which would mean we'd have to be extra careful not to let a single one of our allies get taken out by her. Perhaps we could ask [Leader C] for tips on thwarting assassination attempts? Just kidding, as if we'll ever get a chance to.

## A Tier

Eugene: He's not much a fighter himself, but he is responsible for making sure Syndicate Technology actually runs correctly, and his experiments and drones can prove to be a threat.

## B Tier

Popeye: Not a competent commander by any means, but he is dangerous and unpredictable. [etcetc not much time to write this]

Skullface Jack: Having worked as a mercenary before joining the Syndicate, he knows his way around the battlefield. He hasn't quite been the same since his brother's death though, as he (is rumored to) wear his brother's skull as a mask, which is actually a hindrance to his sniping skills. For whatever reason, he refuses to take the mask off.

Nikolai: Mostly dangerous because of his cybernetic enhancements, but otherwise fights with nothing but brute force like other RUC and Syndicate troops do. Can be outsmarted and outmaneuvered easily enough, but still take care not to get hit by any of his attacks.

Raphael: Commands legions of pseudo-religious zealots, and is proficient in the use of fire magic. He's a blowhard who goes on about his great "faith," but the fanatical nature of him and his followers leads him to being somewhat of a threat. Despite Syndicate claims, he does not have the power to turn things into gold (though there are rumors that instead they have a facility to do something like that), but it is indeed true that he is absolutely obsessed with Gold.

## C Tier

Ashe: She would be a very competent member of the Syndicate... that is, if she actually were to put in the effort to do so. However, her distaste for the organization for their actions and holding her sister hostage has made her reluctant to take part in any of their activities, enough that she refuses to put in enough effort to actually aid them.

Garfield: Does not contribute very much to the RUC and eventually deserted them during the Peninsula War.

Felix: Screams really really loudly, enough to cause actual physical harm. Besides this, he's also short-tempered and will murder you for upsetting him slightly. When it comes to assassinations however, he's just completely inept at them. He can commit wanton murders on the spot, but he's incapable of singling out and eliminating a target. If he's assigned to assassinate you... you don't really have to worry about a thing.

Albert: An immature brute. That's what can be said about him. He's not very smart (I mean, which RUC members are?) and he whines incessantly. But still, his immense weight can be a problem.

Eegore: Does not offer useful advice to Popeye Jr., telling him what he wants to hear rather than what he needs to. Proficient in water and dark magic. Otherwise, there isn't much else noteworthy about him, threat-wise.

Big Earl: Relatively dangerous. A violent psychopath, much like most Syndicate members and RUC-affiliates. However, he's mostly in his element taking down unarmed civilians, he has more trouble dealing with people who can fight back.

Ruben: Would be dead weight if not for those strange nuts he carries around; Where even got them is still being looked into. Regardless, the nuts contain some strange magic inside them, which keeps Ruben from falling into D or F Tier.

## D Tier

Peter: A very unnoteworthy member. There really isn't much to say about him.

El Fuego: An ally of the Indigo Syndicate. Syndicate claims him to have an "undefeated" record in the wrestling circuit, but the main reason for that is because Popeye Jr. fudged the numbers in his favor due to being friends. He's really a huge fraud and is not much of a threat.

Jabberjaw: The main propagandist for the RUC and a self-absorbed narcissist (even more so than the rest of the RUC at least). Otherwise, he does not possess very much combat ability and mostly just brags about how "great" he is with nothing to back it up.

Koly: A wannabe secret agent who only looks the part, but has none of the skills needed to be one. Really the most she's known for is an implied relationship with her own father, Big Earl. She uses her hookshot for disemboweling her enemies, so one should be careful for that... but that's not what the tool is used for, and she's a poor shot anyways.

Eva: Mostly a brat who insists on herself being a "Queen," and mostly gets by on her relationship with Popeye Jr. and his wealth. She has a pair of hedge clippers that she uses to castrate people with, but they're rather cumbersome to use in an actual fight. Besides that, she has nothing else except for her incredibly loud and high-pitched shriek.

Julius Royson: Despite the fact he can not fight at all, he is able to influence people to believe Indigo Syndicate propaganda due to I.N.U.C. being on channel waves. He is a talker, not a fighter and his shows do cause a lot of issues. The hardest part isn't Julius himself, it is getting to him inside his building. Other than that, he can be silenced permanently with the airwaves hopefully shut down. Originally in C Tier, he has been bumped down to D tier due to the fact that he got knocked out by a single punch from a sickly wheelchair man.

## F Tier

Count Chocula: Died from his terrible eating habits getting to him before the Anti-RUC Resistance even got a chance to know he existed.

Cyril: Mostly just there to do drugs, and does not contribute anything to the RUC. Pretty friendly though, if a bit weird.

Popeye Jr.: Bordering between F Tier and Jafar Tier. He constantly wastes Syndicate resources on completely pointless projects, and has absolutely no fighting ability (despite Syndicate claims of his "powers" and "bloodline"). All he really has is an endless amount of money and legions of devoted fanatics who will listen to his every word.

## Jafar Tier

- Jafar: Literally only joined the RUC due to his friendship with Popeye. His cowardice, lack of strength, and lack of strategist proweess shows that he is simply not cut out for any military duties and is only there due to being friends with the leader of the RUC.

Viral: A self-proclaimed "hacker" who believes he can hack anything without fail. He's really an annoying self-absorbed little shit who thinks he's more skilled than he actually is. He frequently damages Syndicate computers and on multiple occasions his attempts at "hacking" end up with something bad happening to his allies. All he has is his annoying voice and personality that gives normal people headaches. Oh, also he sexually harasses Ashe; what a great guy /s.

## Undetermined

Tuffin: [Currently haven't decided how he will be implemented into the story]
