No FF Characters?  Not a fan of the past SIX GAMES (7-12), but a classic hero will do nicely on this list.  Added Cecil.Samus 21

1st - Kratos
2nd - PeachTo avert an endless loop, why not:1.  Everyone can only add ONE character (from now on obviously, as some have already added 2)2.  Impose a 72 hour (or whatever) CUTOFF on adding new characters to the game.3.  Every so many hours/days increase the point addition and subtraction.That should give a nice round group that will die off just as slow or fast as you allow.
