Title: Best Character in RPG History? Mordin Solus

I wanted to get your opinions on the thumbs, which I am trying three different concepts. Let me know if any are totally off the mark and don't fit, or the title could be rearranged. I am trying to actually start a series of "best/worse" characters, environments, scenes, tools, etc. specific to RPGs, so I was planning on this being a "template" of work.

First one is a split face unmatched on purpose to show his "flawless logic" side against his "regretful" side.

Second one is just a "safe" composition as a control. Yes, it repeast some of the title, but wanted a "safe" option as baseline and to templetize more than anything.

Third one is a big bold text claim. It was hard to get good cinematics shots of the character, so instead, I decided to have the text do the talking and set the tone.

The video talks about Mordin from Mass Effect and who is "the best" character written in RPG. Naturally, it's a hyperbole claim BUT the video is an essay with the thesis that Mordin shows how good character arcs are made. He is not a hero that "changes" through his journey, but one where his enviroment exposes his fears/regrets and how he needs to face them, and thus provides deeper character growth.

Hmmmm I like the concept of the first one with the split face but needs some work. I think the text can be improved. The dont choice is a bit too thin and a little harder to read. I also wonder if it would look better with just the word "flawless" instead of "the" and "man"

Youre right, second one is super basic. Its fine I suppose.

Last one I also like a lot. Could also experiment with this one having only one word on it.
