Just for fun, Leverage compared to Shadow and Bone

[senmut]

Comparing Leverage to Shadow and Bone characters, and how they match up.



Kaz to Nate is an easy jump. Jesper to Sophie, Waylan to Hardison, Inej to Eliot.

But Parker? Parker I can't put easily. I actually think Matthias comes closest, with the 'needs to learn social cues but is excessively adept at what he does know'.

Tara to Nina is the other one I think of.

(Jesper to Sophie is in how he handles people. I think Nina to Tara is a better match, though Nina to Sophie could work well enough)

All that said, I would NOT want the two crews to share a world, because Nate and Kaz would loathe and despise one another with contempt, I believe. Nate because of his principles he clings to, and Kaz ... because Nate clings to his principles.

Anyone else want to chime in, discuss, disagree?

I would agree that Nina to Tara works well!

Kaz would indeed loathe Nate. Ha! Thank you for this bit of fun head canon.

I was thinking about heist groups, and going "but Asp, Leverage is your only heist canon... wait a sec" and then it all tumbled up.

My thought was Parker and Inej; both acrobatic, can get into anywhere, and Parker had to learn to stop stabbing people (No stabbing Wednesdays) but becomes very fond of her Taser, so she's not against fighting per se.
I see Inej and Eliot too though, with overall fighting skills and some shared guilt there.
Agree on Tara/Nina and Kaz/Nate wholeheartedly.
Very interesting :)

Heh, I was looking at her from a social POV, and you went for skills, and I can totally agree.
