So... the white card is the supervillain version and the red card is the superhero version? That's a bit of an unfortunate way round. Even though Worm is all about HeroesAreNotGood and VillainsAreNotEvil, my understanding of the reasons for Flechette defecting to become Foil were that it was basically due to love, where Flechette had been previously fairly motivated by duty.

Feels like she's missing something compared to the red version. First strike would work quite well for the bladed version of her ability, I think.

Both this and the character seem red to me.

Agreed. Foil is clearly red. What colour would you say for Flechette?

Hmm. Do they need to be separated into different characters? Her personality doesn't change much, even though her name does. If anything, she's more white as Flechette.

That's what I meant by my comment to Vitenka. I think Flechette should be white (she's motivated by duty and uses ranged weapons) and Foil should be red (she's motivated by love and has switched to using melee weapons).

We don't have to have the two different versions, naturally. But the set is more interesting with more cards in it, and a character name change (especially paired with an allegiance change) is a natural point to create a second card for the character.

Is it worth noting that this is technically the same name as the card Foil? I know this based on the Worm universe, and I know nothing about Worm. But if there happens to be another way to switch the name out, I would think it would make sense.

We could probably add subtitles to some of the less distinctive names.

I'd been assuming we'd just ignore that. The same applies to Battery / Assault // Battery, Leviathan / Leviathan, and Purity / Purity.
