Darkling in Telepath RPG 2
Darkling appears in Telepath RPG Chapter 2.
Background[]
Darkling is a shadowling soldier who is the youngest to join the Assassin's Cult. He has a brother, Shadowboxer, who is also a Psy Assassin.
Involvement[]
At the beginning of Telepath RPG 2, Tastidian gives the Hero three shadowling troops to make a squad: Darkling, Shadowboxer, and Festus.
Skills[]
- Mind Blast
- Shadowport
- 5 Psy Power
- 4 Psy Defense
- Shadowport 2
- 6 Psy Power
- 6 Psy Defense
There is also a choice for the 4th skill between Shadow Blast and Feedback,
- Shadow Blast
- 8 Psy Power (if he gets Psy Power at 8 before Psy Defense)
- Feedback (seemingly not available in the Sinister Design CD version)
- 8 Psy Defense (if he gets Psy Defense at 8 before Psy Power)
- Shadow Blast 2
- 10 Psy Power
- Shadow Resistance
- 10 Psy Defense
(Warning: An unclear bug can prevent the acquisition of Shadow Resistance, depending on the order in which you level Darkling up. To avoid it, Darkling needs to learn at least one 'Power' skill between Shadowport 2 and Shadow Resistance ; example: Shadowport 2 -> Shadow Blast -> Shadow Blast 2 -> Shadow Resistance.)
Strategy[]
Darkling is quick and can use shadowport to jump over spaces, so he's useful for quick attacks. With his mobility of 9, and both shadowport and shadowport 2, he can literally move anywhere. He can even Shadowport off the board!
Quotes[]
"The name's Darkling the Magnificent, Greatest Assassin in the Known World. But you can call me Darkling for short."
"I'm small, but damn quick! I love taking down healers and ranged units who think they're safety out of reach. [He smirks toothily.] It's hard being so talented sometimes, but you know: it's a living."
Trivia[]
He is the only character in the game who has a choice between 2 different skills, namely Shadow Blast or Feedback.
After the Shadow War, Darkling and Shadowboxer open up a popular restaurant called The Barracks with the help of the Vibra Mining Company.
