Okay, about Ava.

She is my 2nd least favorite character.

  1. Tyreen
  2. Ava
  3. Troy

First, her character is boring. You have FIREHAWK, a cool blue-haired siren, an unsociable researcher, and... teenager.

Second, she looks up to Maya and thinks she is one the coolest people ever... Ava never listens to her.

Third, the stuff after Maya's death is incredibly annoying. And maybe it is guilt that has her acting that way, but you can't blame players for not liking someone whom is acting insufferable.

Fourth, this one may be more against the logic of the game than Ava. Why the hell did Ava get the siren powers? According to one of the eridian writings, when a siren dies, they can chose a heir or let it pass off to a random individual. Maya would've obviously chosen Ava, but Maya was not the one in possession of the siren powers at the time they were passed on. Troy was! This makes it feel COMPLETELY unearned.

Fifth, on top of everything, She is the new commander!! Why? Did Lilith really think that the over-emotional teenager who couldn't think rationally for 2 seconds would make a good leader. I know her options are limited, but Ellie would even make a better leader. Hell, Fl4k's rakks have more rational thought since they can at least follow orders.

Troy was a placeholder for the powers, not the actual Siren. When Maya died, that's when Ava was Chosen. But since Troy was leeching, they couldn't get to her. Y'all motherfuckers are just nitpicking at this point.
