If "Junior" is within 3 clear sight spaces of a friendly figure, subtract 5 from his range.

Bio:

Spoiler Alert!

"Junior" grew up without knowing his father. His mother told him that his father was arrogant, but could back up his talk. All he ever wanted to do in his life was live up to his dad's reputation. He began training at a young age to try to complete the four tests of the Queen. After completing the first three, "Junior" ended up short. He went back to training, he swore to anyone that he could hit a target farther away than any elf has ever hit. The crowds gathered to watch this drop out try the impossible task. "Junior" drew back his bow. "Thooft!" His arrow sailed only half way. Everyone laughed at the disgrace he had brought upon himself. Only he knows his true potential... And so does Ullar.


So in other words, have you have done something so amazing and no one was there to see it? Then you yell, "hey dad check out what I can do!" then fail miserably.

Balance
When you compare "Junior" to other figures similar to him you will find that 15 is actually a great point value.
1. Guilty: The offensive output between "Junior" and Guilty is about half. Guilty gets two attacks of 2 at 7 range, whereas "Junior" gets one at 10 or even 5 range. Their survivability is the same however.
2. Dead Eye Dan: Only two figures with 10 range, but also share defense and move values. The reason I'm comfortable with "Junior" at 15 compared to DED's 60 is that DED has the ability to completely destroy any figure. That has to be at least worth 30 of his points. Add in the ability to bypass defensive abilities, let's say add another 10-15. Increase his health and there you get about 60.
3. Marcu: This one is tough. Costing lower than Marcu is dangerous, because Marcu really has the ability to hurt you, whereas "Junior" won't kill your own troops. Even with Marcu turning on you, he will beat "Junior" most of the time.
Kyntela Gwyn: This one made me nervous at first. Almost exact stats, but of course "Junior" has +10 range on her and still is a lower cost. Tell me this, when have you ever picked Gwyn over Marcu? Only in an elf wizard build right? That's where her value of 20 is, not anything to do with her stats. (Her stats actually keep her a lower point cost)

Playability
I believe "Junior" is a super simpler figure. His power is very obvious also.
Haven't you always wanted to take DED just to run and gun with? I have. This guy will find the table almost too often because he is so fun to use. His lacks a lot of synergy, but that also will keep his point value down and maybe even keep him off the table every game.

Creativity
I sometimes have trouble coming up with new powers. I tend to stick to reusing most powers. This guy is different. He captures so much theme with one power. The simplicity is what makes this guy creative. With that one power it's like you almost know everything there is to know about this guy. The guy who always fails in the eyes of others, even though he knows he has the ability in him.

Theme
I've been touching on theme in almost every category so far. He fits in current HS, but instead of the "perfect" soldier this guy is almost a loser in the eyes of other elves. (The Bio, I believe, hits a lot of theme.)

Here's another picture for size comparison.

Spoiler Alert!

Here's him next to his "father". He's still a young man trying to make his way in Feylund.

Accessibility The figure is a Pathfinder mini so there has to be plenty of them. I haven't looked to deep into this. (Sorry in advance) I think I paid around 5 bucks for him which isn't steep at all.

Thanks for your time. I hope you can feel the theme of Junior. He's found a place in my heart already.
