Character Creation Challenge 2023 23: The Expert

Character Creation Challenge 2023

31 Buffy The Vampire Slayer characters

23: The Expert

Characters who are experts in some field other than violence or mysticism. Fred and Lorne in Angel are the most prominent examples, though arguments could be made for Oz and Anya too. Their niche doesn’t come up all that often but will get them some feature episodes, and they can also pull double duty as love interests. (When we joked about a spinoff to The Watch House about Natalie becoming a lawyer in London, her on-off NPC boyfriend Thomas would have gone with her and been promoted to main cast, helping with high society.)

Ken Park
Type: White Hat

Ki Hong Lee

Description: usually looking at his phone
Example quote: “It’s big. I can use the Twinkie analogy from Ghostbusters if that helps.”

Ken was school science club president last year, when the gang asked for his help when someone built a dimensional portal in the swimming pool. He’d like it if sometimes they’d call him when it wasn’t about killer robots or the universe being pulled inside out. Although he doesn’t really want to be on the front line either. Life was simpler before he knew all of this...
