The cast of Veronique's favorite prime time drama.
Obfuscated is the story of a band of college age mages who, in a freak accident, found themselves lost from their school and stuck in the middle of faerie.
The Cast:
Andrew: Theoretically main character. 21 years old. Tall, buff, brown hair, tan. Andrew is usually level-headed but has a bit of a temper. He's the most practical of the group, but a little arrogant. He thinks of himself as a leader. Andrew acts like a bit of a jock, however, and can come off as a prick a lot of the time. He has a habit of lashing out at his friends when he's upset, particularly when he doesn't want to believe a problem is his fault. He's a fairly physical sort of mage, primarily working with offensive and elemental spells, as well as physical augmentation.
Most of the fans find Andrew boring, though there are many die-hard Andrew fans. He seems to have Boring Male Lead Syndrome, though there is clearly a lot of development to be made, especially with Tamlinn. On the internet he is primarily 'shipped with Violet and Tamlinn, though the slash community has a few die-hard Andrew/Christian fans, and there is a rather small but dedicated following of Andrew/Noah. Mm, foe!yay.
Christian: 21 years old. Average height, blond, glasses, supposed to be cute but not as attractive as Andrew, though most fans seem to prefer Christian. Christian is sweet and supportive, but tends to get kind of emotional. Christian and Andrew have been best friends since they were kids. He was also the one to first help Noah, and has on several occasions healed him from physical wounds. Christian is a horrible idealist, and comes off as a bit of a doormat sometimes, though he has made it obvious he's actually quite courageous. Christian was madly in love with Violet for most of his high school years, and was devastated when she broke up with him. However, when he saw how much they cared for each other, he was willing to put them first and face the monster that was currently after them to buy them time to escape to the others. He may or may not be dead--we'll see next episode. Christian is a healer, though he is also talented at protection magic, and has recently begun to learn a bit of necromancy.
Christian has a very large and dedicated following and seems to be the most popular main character, particularly among casual fans. He has had the most on-screen development and made the most changes, which has in many ways made him one of the most interesting characters. Canon-nazis usually pair him with violet, since they have spent the entire first season as an established couple, though the obvious tension between then, particularly in the more recent episodes, has caused a lot of people to jump ship. There is a huge following for Christian/Noah (it's arguable one of the biggest pairings in the online fandom), and there are a surprising number of Andrew/Christian and Christian/Tamlinn fans.
Noah: 18 years old. Kind of tall, thin, red hair and freckles, pale, dresses like a goth. He's supposed to be the least attractive of the main characters, though he seems to get the fan preference based on both looks and personality. He has a few scars on his face, arms and back, which are often shown when Noah needs to be healed by Christian. He doesn't talk much about himself, so not much of his backstory is known. He was initially rather hostile to the other characters, but through a combination of determination and being unfailingly nice to him, Noah eventually opened up to Christian a bit. He hates Andrew to an almost irrational level and takes it as a personal insult whenever Andrew tries to help him, though Andrew has never exactly been nice to him, either. Noah seems to be jealous of Andrew and Christian's relationship. Noah has shown very little of his magic and seems to prefer not to use it, but from what has been seen, he appears to be extremely talented at necromancy. He has recently added a bit of healing to his repertoire, when he offered to teach Christian necromancy in exchange for learning healing. He has also shown extensive knowledge about things they other characters haven't particularly about the fae.
Noah seems to be a character that most people either love or hate. He's extremely popular in the fandom, while casual viewers seem to have a more mixed reaction. He's had a fair bit of character development--more than Andrew or Violet by far--though most of his backstory is still a mystery. He's easily paired the most with Christian, there there is a surprisingly high following for Noah/Andrew. Those who are determined to put him in a heterosexual relationship usually pair him with Tamlinn, since she's the one he's had the most contact with.
Violet: 20 years old. Taller than average, long dark hair, exceptionally pretty. Violet comes of as an ice-queen upon first impressions, but clearly cares deeply for both Lizzie and Tamlinn and acts as a bit of an older sister toward them. She and Christian have been dating since midway through high school, though the relationship seems to have cooled a bit on her end in the past few months. She initially discounted Andrew as a dumb jock, though her opinion of him seems to have greatly changed through the past season of sexual tension. After a night trapped alone together, she came to the conclusion that she was in love with Andrew, and broke up with Christian. She has a very shaky relationship with Noah, and has tried to befriend him at Christian's insistence, but he never particularly seemed to warm to her. He has become a bit more hostile to her recently, and Violet suspects that he is aware of her waning feelings for Christian. Her magic is very mentally focused, though she is relatively good with protection magic.
Violet seems to have a very mixed reaction with the fandom, as female leads often do, though most casual fans seem to like her. She has had a little character development, mostly with Tamlinn and Lizzie. She is primarily paired with Andrew by fans, though there are a few Christian/Violet loyalists who want them to stay together. The occasional femslash fans usually pair her with Tamlinn. She is rarely paired with Noah.
Tamlinn: 19 years old. Shorter than average, muscular, black, not supposed to be as pretty as Violet. Tamlinn is quiet and shy, but very obviously has a crush on Andrew--at least, obvious to everyone that isn't him. Though Andrew normally comes off as a prick, he's shown a surprisingly soft side when dealing with Tamlinn, though he seems to view her more as a sister than a romantic interest. Tamlinn has severe amnesia and has no memories of her own life from further back than the last few months, and was recommended to the university to help her recover. Violet has been extremely helpful to her, and has been working with her telepathically on a daily basis to help unlock her memories, and occasionally she seems to see snippets. She gets along unusually well with Noah, though they talk very little, and she obviously feels sympathy for him. Nothing is clear, but it is obviously something traumatizing. Tamlinn's magic seems very weak and she has little access to it, though Violet suspects that is blocked off along with her memories.
Tamlinn was a surprise fan-favorite; she gets very little screen time compared to other characters, but she seemed to strike a chord with the viewers. She's most commonly paired with Andrew, though there are a shocking number of Noah/Tamlinn and Christian/Tamlinn fans. Violet/Tamlinn has an amazingly strong following as well, and is possibly the second most popular slash pairing in the fandom--after Christian/Noah, of course.
Lizzie: Looks about 10 years old. Petite, long blond hair, pale, striking blue eyes which they like to have the camera close up on, and a soft whispery voice. Lizzie showed up only recently, and to all appearances seems to be a young girl who was lost in faerie. There is something distinctly inhuman about her--eyes that don't seem to blink often enough, unparalleled dexterity and speed, skin tinged blue--though it's up for debate whether that is because she herself is not human, or whether it is because she has been in faerie so long that she has lost some of her more human traits. They found her sneaking into their camp, and she claimed that she had been watching them and, seeing they were hungry, brought them food. Andrew and Noah were both extremely suspicious of her, but Violet took to her immediately and welcomed her. Lizzie claimed to be lost in the woods, and from what information she has given, has been lost in the woods for decades. Christian has warmed up to the little girl and Tamlinn is cautiously optimistic about her, but Noah and Andrew are still rather unhappy about her. She has only used magic once, but she seems to be ridiculously powerful, particularly at manipulating magic within faerie.
Fan reaction is still pending on Lizzie since she had only been in the show for a few weeks now, but while she has several die-hard followers, the reaction as a whole has been rather apathetic. Given that she looks and acts like a ten year old girl, she's not shipped quite as much as the other characters, though on the internet, being the internet, you can find whatever pairing you want for her at some point or other.
