(Risus) Gritty - Paragon of Democracy

Full Disclaimer: I'm still allowed to hate groups of people in this country, and it shall remain the Philadelphia Flyers and their fans, but dammit if I find their mascot, Gritty, more creepily endearing, thanks to a deluge of memes this week for the presidential election.

I previously statted up Gritty after his debut, two years ago. I've also referenced him in some "fun" games that I've ran.

But I would never openly threaten the City of Philadelphia like a few Republican pundits and operatives did. That way leads to madness... and so many Gritty memes.


Without further ado, let's update Gritty, using Risus: The Anything RPG, to reflect his current status in short-term pop culture.

Gritty McFlyerssuck - 2020 COVID Edition
Perverse Deification of the Modern Spirit of Philadelphia (6)*
Feisty Over-aggressive Muppet Wannabe (4)
Fierce Competitor Who is Not as Nimble as He Thinks (3)
Googly-Eyed Flyers Mascot (1)**

*Gritty can summon one Grunt Squad: Angry Battery-Chucking, Pole-Climbing, Freedom Loving, Pissed-Off Philadelphians (4).  If the Grunt Squad is defeated, Gritty may summon another Grunt Squad with a strength equal to his Modern Spirit of Philadelphia cliche, minus two.

**Equipment: Dual-action hot-dog/t-shirt cannon

I'm hoping his biggest cliche drops before hockey starts up.  #GoPens
