The 2018 Community Created Card: Name that Evil Character!

[The Guardian]

We're going to go ahead and call the race at this point...and Evil Character is the winner! 

EDIT* Nominations must be made by 11:59 PM CST on Tuesday, 1-16.

Here are the rules/guidelines for submitting nominations for the Evil Character name.

1. Each person may submit up to 3 names either by posting or sending me a PM (I will start a new thread once the card type voting is officially closed)
2. Names must be Biblical (I know we have extra-Biblical characters in the game, but this card will need to have a direct Scripture reference)
3. Names must be for characters considered "Evil" in Redemption terms (i.e. we're not making an evil King David). If it's a character with some ambiguity (King Saul, Joab, etc) we'll figure that out later.
4. If it's a character with a repeated name, be sure to specify which character you are referring to (i.e. "Saul" could be the king or the NT Saul)
5. Please do not "campaign" for certain characters on this thread...you may do that elsewhere, but I want to keep this thread clear for submissions only.
6. Based on the number of entries, I will create a poll with the most frequent submissions. I'm not sure what to expect for how many different entries we'll have, but I'm thinking we'll do at most 15 final entries to vote on. If we have a handful of those that are close together in votes, we'll do a second round of voting with just those.


I think that's it for now!

2. Names must be Biblical (I know we have extra-Biblical characters in the game, but this card will need to have a direct Scripture reference)
3. Names must be for characters considered "Evil" in Redemption terms

So are we allowed to submit generic evil characters like "Foreign Archer" or "Foreign Raiders" based on this criteria?  Or should we stick with unique characters that are named, either by their actual name or allegory (The Watchman, etc.)?

Maybe for generic characters, it should be recommended to submit a verse as well so players can see where the character comes from.

[The Guardian]

Generic Characters would be acceptable with an accompanying scripture verse for reference purposes.

[TheHobbit13]

Athaliah
Absalom
Eglon, King of Moab

[Asahel24601]

Absalom
Abner
Sones of Anak (Numbers 13:28. 33 Nevertheless, the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there. There also we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”)

[Daniel]

Prince of this World

[Ironisaac]

Jannes
Rapha / The Father of Giants
Alexander the Coppersmith*







*Coopersmith

[Watchman]

Alexander the Coppersmith (desperately in need of an updated version with an ability and would be a great antagonist to the Paul promo and the RoJ Heroes)
Orpah (or we can go with Oprah, the false prophetess, as an evil character)    (In all seriousness, she could use an updated version and would go well with the contemporary Ruth theme)
Peninnah (a character that doesn’t have a card yet and was really nasty to Hannah. She would be a great fit for a Samuel-themed mini set. I made her card some time ago; it can be seen on the New Card Ideas topic for an idea how she and the other Samuel-themed characters could work).

[Xonathan]

Abner
King Jehu
Emperor Nero

[sepjazzwarrior]

Levitation
Abner
Alexander the coppersmith

[The Schaefer]

Barabbas

Absalom

The Ten Sons of Haman (Esther 9: 10 is probably the best reference. There may be little information on them but they could also be divided individually since they are all named. Could make Persians a viable defense which would be awesome)

[Bobbert]

King Agag, an Amalekite. We have about half of an Amalekite in the game right now (Ammy Slave is actually Egyptian); even though we don't really need any more brown themes, the Amalekites have enough significance to warrant a theme (at least as much as antediluvians).

Absalom as an anti-throne card.

Jannes, for reasons Isaac went into already.

[Jeremystair]

I know the last few sets have boosted animals but I still think they're behind a little so my 3 picks are for animals.

Of course

Leviathan
Job 41:1-34 Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?

Possessed pigs
Mark 5:11-13 Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, 12 and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.” 13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea.

The Big fish
Jonah 1:17 And the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

[redemption collector 777]

King Artaxerxes

The Wisemen   

Persian solidiers



When I mention the Wisemen  , I am referring to the wisemen that were jealous of Daniel and made the king sign the decree.

[jesse]

King Artaxexes

Peninniah

Rapha/"The Giant" (depending on translation): the father of Goliath, Ishbibenob, Lahmi, Saph, and The Twelve-Fingered Giant (2 Samuel 21:18-24)

[updated]

[The Guardian]

King Artaxerxes

The Wisemen   

Persian solidiers



When I mention the Wisemen  , I am referring to the wisemen that were jealous of Daniel and made the king sign the decree.

RC777, not that we couldn't do another version named "Persian Wisemen", but that group is represented by the card "Persian Presidents." 

[The Guardian]

My picks 

Rapha, Father of Giants
Ishmaelite Merchants (the ones who bought Joseph and took him to Egypt)
Brood of Vipers (Pharisees)

[Ironisaac]

The Rich Young Ruler

What brigade would this guy be?

[The Guardian]

The Rich Young Ruler

What brigade would this guy be?

If he gets picked that wouldn't be for me to decide...

However, I could see him staying in Brown or possibly being moved to Gray or Gold.

[Lampy 2.0]

The Seven Sons of Sceva. They could have a better card.

Alternatively, Athaliah.

[Red Dragon Thorn]

Two Thumbs up  for Rapha, Father of Giants.

I'd also like to submit Absalom and Amasa

[h20tor]

Leviathan

[Kevinthedude]

I'm astounded (and also glad) that a certain EC hasn't been mentioned yet.

Que?

Actual submission is Midianite Army.

[egilkinc]

Dual Alignment Jehu

[The Guardian]

Just realized I hadn't put a deadline for this phase...

Nominations for card name must be made by 11:59 CST on Tuesday, 1-16.

I will allow people to update their votes at any time before the deadline, but please make a new post (or send me a PM) to let me know you have updated your vote.
